The Compton Inn in Bath and North East Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great country pub always buzzing with life with lots of interesting people, really nice out door space with typical pub seating all very clean. The pub inside is very nice, they are dog friendly but it’s narrow so you might want to get a seat out of the way, the bar gets busy. I have been here a few times and the bar staff could be a little bit more friendly, on each occasion they seemed stressed or not that happy, maybe I missed something 🤷 the food was very good and plenty of choice to drink, beers on tap and good soft drinks so a good place to visit.

I would give this 1 star, but the staff were really lovely and so deserve better. However the food... it really was poor, I'm sad to say. Possible it was an off day for the chef. We all had chips with our meals which while they looked hand-cooked, they were hard and pretty tasteless as though they'd been reheated from the day before. I really hope that wasn't the case, but that's what we all thought. My kids, normally chip-eating machines, wouldn't eat them. Neither did my wife and I, unfortunatley. The steak was borderline 'ok'... actually overcooked and not a great cut, but passable. The fish (fish & chips) was really not good. Clearly not fresh and was quite oily, not very big and didn't taste great. Sausages for the kids were bog-standard pre-cooked/deep fried. Neither of our kids wanted to finish them. We then had some ice-cream for desert - again, disappointing. They had a board outside advertising Marsfield Farm ice cream for Dogs, so we assumed they'd do Marsfield Ice Cream for 'people' too (or something of a similar type/quality), but sadly not... what we got tasted like supermarket ice-cream from a punnet. Grainy and not very pleasant. It's all a real shame as it's a lovely spot and the staff were so friendly. They just need to up their food game. It just wasn't good enough, I'm afraid. Perhaps it was just an off-day as I see there are plenty of good reviews, but sadly we just cant corroborate them . Our food was really quite poor.

Excellent, recommended. Sunny day, so we had BLTs outside in pleasant surroundings, friendly staff, and obviously freshly prepared food.

Excellent food, nice to have a salad that consisted of more then just leaves and a tasty dressing. Service friendly and helpful to hubby who tried a local beer 'Otter' he was happy. Also our rescue dog had a good experience sitting outside watching the village go by. Thankyou will return. Recommend.

Absolutely fabulous ploughman's lunch

Great food great service definitely looking forward to going again.

Great food, nice surroundings not far from Keynsham. Group of 8 of us varied lunch menu. Service good Plenty of car parking

Excellent food, atmosphere and service, we decided to stop at the Compton on our way back from Bath having looked on line at the menu. The food was really exceptional, I had the steak, which was so tender and the hand cut chips were wonderful. My husband had gammon which filled the plate and came with Salad, peas onion rings and two eggs, tomato and mushrooms. Both meals were really well presented. We will definitely go back and would highly recommend. Also it was all very reasonably priced.

A perfect place all round food, welcome and atmosphere do not miss this gem.

yo expensive ice cream for children 2 scoops of vanilla £6 50.

Absolutely wonderful pub, we was venturing back from Devon and decided to scrap the traffic for a good meal and a car park to get our head down before getting on our way again, and we couldn't of picked a better place, the staff were welcoming and the locals (lots of them) were all friendly. It was great to see a busy pub with friendly locals. Very old country English! Wonderful

My home village, so biased. Great sunny evening or cosy winter. Any weather really. It's just lovely

Stumbled across this pub on a gorgeously sunny Sunday afternoon. Lovely looking pub inside and out, very friendly young chap serving behind the bar. Didn't have any food but it looked good and will definitely be back to try it out.

A really good place to congregate with friends on a Sunday evening

Well cooked food nice menu and friendly helpful staff.

Unrealistically high prices and tasteless food, no choice of real ales or ipas. There are cake and coffee on offer but staff charge you double regardless of what's on the board as offer. Rude attitude when asked for more cutlery. Outside atmosphere was really nice though and the whole area - just beautiful to visit!

Lovely spot for a quiet drink in the sun

The Compton is a gem of an English pub. Full of laughter good ale, food and dogs, perfect. There's a large, free car park but also this place is popular with walkers so one way or another there is no excuse for missing it! We went there a few weeks back for Sunday lunch, which was excellent (make sure you book) but the regular menu was packed with choice so we went back one evening in the week and it didn't disappoint. We'll be going again before heading back home to Lincolnshire.

Fabulous pub lunch clearly the chef cares deeply about his food ! We had such a warm reception lovely ploughman’s and my field raved about her cod and chips !! Service was lovely and efficient felt very much at home wish we could have stayed longer ! K

A lovely place for a Sunday drink before a walk to see the bluebells. ❤️

This is the quintessential British pub. Good beer, food, setting and ambience. We had a family Sunday lunch here so chose from the "Sunday" menu. But there are many great choices other than roast so we'll be going back to sample some of those for sure!

Great lunch and beer with great service in a lovely location. Plates were large and full with lots of flavour. Staff were relaxed and professional.

Lovely lunch once again at the compton,always consistent,venison burger was delicious, nice atmosphere and good service,can't fault it,but I do love this pub and the village its in.

Visited last night ordered sirloin steak funny taste left half of it chips like left overs expensive not impressed also Sunday dinner 3 weeks ago the same result.. past 4 years brilliant shame won't be going back.

We came here for some food and the rude old lady with blonde hair behind the bar told us there were no baby changing facilities for our 5 week old baby, and when I asked what I should do to change my son, she replied sharply, I don't know. Also for a dog friendly pub, we were told we had to keep our small well behaved dog at one end of the table, again in a rude manner by the same woman. So we walked out without ordering! Horrific customer service and won't be coming here again!!

A great locals pub to visit and enjoy the people and drinks

We had a lovely family meal , food was amazing service was very good and reasonably priced Would recommend

Having previously visited The Compton Inn a few years back, I was looking forward to returning. The pub was clean and the food was really delicious, however the experience was massively let down by the poor customer service from one particular elder female employee who was incredibly rude to our table. Think twice before visiting if you expect to just be treated as a valuable paying customer - spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

Another great Sunday lunch..pork... great food & beer

Very well cooked duck breast. Dale the head chef keeps performing again and again. Any meal you have here you will not be disappointed.

Called in on the off chance for a drink and some lunch. It was very busy but we still had a welcoming smile from Kate behind the bar. The food was freshly made, hot and very tasty. Kate, Lisa (plus two other ladies) were chatty and made us feel valued as customers. Overall, a lovely time spent here and we will be returning.

One of the loveliest pubs in the area! 🍻

First visit, nice "locals" pub/restaurant. Exceptionally busy and probably due to being Remembrance Day. Service a little disjointed, one lady behind the bar could have been a more personable but otherwise a good experience when food arrived.

This is an Outstanding Pub the food is superb and the staff always attentive and friendly We wanted a family photo taken and the blonde lady serving us was so helpful . We would really recommend the faggots but to be honest every meal that came out was delicious warm and a very good portion. I recommend this pub to many of my friends. Truly I feel you will be in for a treat when you visit. It's a classy traditional and quintessential British Pub for people who really appreciated the good things in life that are relaxing comforting and a feeling of community from bygone days. Some where to escape the crazy rush of the world we live.

We visited this pub for a quick bite to eat with friends and will definitely not be returning! The staff, in particular the blonde lady, who I believe to be in charge is extremely rude. We had a few children in the party and asked if we could move to an area where we would be out of the way of annoying any other guests in the pub. The one table was already cleared and the other table next to it needed to be wiped down. I followed the lady mentioned above to the table however I do not think she knew I was behind her and I heard her say to a Staff member “ I’m not wiping this down for them too much, they have already made a mess up there”. Terrible service during our meal. There was no attempt from any staff members to ask us whether everything was ok with our food or whether we needed any condiments or further drinks. I think unless you are local and part of the “clique” then you are not welcome!

Visited the Compton Inn for a special family lunch, we had quite a large group however we were squeezed onto the tiniest table in a cramped walkway. Would seat around 6 comfortably, but there were 10 of us..! The staff were rude and flustered. Very slow to order drinks at the bar and they were serving who seemed to be locals first although we had been waiting ages before them! They got our puddings wrong from the preorder but made it out to be us that ordered incorrectly. The waitress was very rude and just looked at us like we were mad. We had to eat the desert that we hadn’t ordered as they made no effort to rectify their error, the dessert ended up being horrible. It was an apple crumble but tasted like overcooked raspberry purée with pure cinnamon crumb sprinkled over it. Would not return. Bad service, mediocre food and very rude staff.

Wonderful staff and brilliant fish and chips

Great food, good feel to the pub

Lovely little pub which I wish I ordered some food. Visited again half way around a walk. Brilliant!!

The Compton Inn is a perfect country pub in a lovely location. Good food and drink.

I was working on a TV show filming at the church. This must be one of the best friends that ever great food and great people can't recommend this enough great area for hiking to

Good lunchtime pub where dogs are welcome in one area. Food acceptable as long as you don’t get too ambitious.

Walked from Keynsham to the pub for a Saturday afternoon drink with family. Atmosphere and staff were friendly and polite

Stopped for a drink and some chips after a walk with friends - lovely pub garden, great service, tasty cheesy chips! Would like to return for a proper Sunday lunch or dinner at some point.

Very nice country pub with a good sized outdoor area

I called the pub to book today and the man I spoke to was exceptionally rude. I was in shock so carried on booking the reservation with him. Shorty after, I called back to cancel as I wouldn’t want to give my business to such an obnoxious member of staff.

Nice pub average food it's just lacking that extra push for perfection, very popular local pub very busy in the bar area on a Friday night, it's not the first time I have eaten here with the same crowd of freinds, first time we had the gammon steak omg it was well over cooked chips were nice that's it, second visit had the chicken breast in a mushroom sauce with dauphine potato and veg as in photo, I'm not sure what happened to the chicken breast however I had bits of chicken sauce was tasty nothing spiecal veg was OK this meal could of been absolutely banging unfortunately it's just average, my freinds had fish n chips the fish batter was under cooked, the chips all varied in consistency, it's such a shame

Off the beaten track this pub is well worth the drive. We ate here twice - mid-week we had the chicken and mushroom oggies and then returned for a fabulous Sunday Roast - HUGE serving of roast beef, veggies and the all important Yorkshire pudding. The Compton is reasonably priced, has a reasonable wine list and there are a good number of ales on tap but most importantly has bright and cheerful staff. There’s plenty of parking and the tables are well spaced so you’re not sitting on top of others. Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable lunch time spent at the Compton Inn.

Very nice and cosy place in a lovely village atmosphere to spend time out. Near a beautiful church, worth a visit

Beautiful Sunday dinner all the staff work really hard like a well oiled machine,well done to everyone at the Compton inn

Lovely country pub in a quiet village. A decent meal from a varied menu at a fair price and good friendly service.

Good selection of beers nice food

A great local pub, usually full of locals, but they have a great set of outdoor tables, so is great for a drink in the sunshine.

Service was pretty awful. Apparently the staff had hangovers after the village fete the day before. The roast was good but a significant disparity between loads of potatoes and meagre vegetable portions. We were told all but one of the tables were reserved but by the time we left, none of said tables had been occupied and the pub was getting more empty.

Fantastic country boozer whare everyone friendly in a picturesque setting

Busy evening good atmosphere.good food

Good fashion pub good friendly service beer looked after wonderful views

Met family here for lunch as convenient - will not return soon. The village is very pretty - the pub would be better if it matched

Stopped here for lunch yesterday whilst we were on a walk. What a lovely pub and such great, welcoming staff. Food was plentiful and tasty. It seems popular and it's easy to see why.

Nice cider. Try the Cheddar Valley cider. Went well with the fish and chips

One of my favourite pubs, always a nice place to visit

Only had drinks but very friendly bar staff

A very lovely place hidden in the English countryside

It's a lovely little to pub for both food and drinks.

Walked here along river from Keynsham and delighted to find this lovely pub for lunch that was dog friendly , catered for celiacs - the best ham, egg and chips ever!! With lovely friendly staff. A wonderful way and place to spend an afternoon with friends.

Wonderful pub! Great location, lovely view, great service, and very good food. Had a few pints, food and my partner had the Baileys Brulee! We were lucky with the view too. Definitely worth a visit 😊

Great food and service friendly staff

Called in for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised by the ambience and welcome. Definitely deserves the high rating. The quality and quantity was first class, however I had belly pork cooked to perfection but I like stuffing with my pork and regrettably it was not included. That said I will visit again.

Amazing fresh, well cooked food ,exactly what it says on the menu!Professional welcoming staff.Beautiful surroundings.Will definitely return xxx

Popped in for lunch with my wife. Both had gammon. It was delicious. Plenty on the plate 2 eggs,lovely salad,hand cut chips,onion rings & tomatoes. Butcombe original on pump. Doombar not available at the time. Staff very welcoming .

Decided to try the Compton this evening. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the food. The pub itself was a nice building but the food was terrible. The veg was tasteless, like it had been sitting in a Bain Marie all day. The duck was dry, tough and also tasteless. Real shame as I was hoping to find a nice little gem of a pub to eat at on a regular basis. Hats off to the microwave technician (chef) who done a grand job of annihilating the pre packaged poor quality slop.

Mediocre throughout. Disappointing food. Dirty loos.

Great pub, good food, in a lovely village.

Great pub, beer spot on, great food and service, top marks thank you!!

Nice atmosphere, with great food. Will visit again.

Great food and local beer on tap. Perfect for a post walk feed.

Lovely place but low chairs 💺 😉

A very popular and cosy country pub, great selection, lovely staff

Warm welcome and great food. All six of us really enjoyed our meal after a nice walk down by the river. We'll definitely be back!

Good food and service. A couple of little issues, but don’t let that out you off a lovely atmosphere, pub and food.

Had good food with great friendly service.

After visiting this lovely cosy pub many times yesterday’s visit for Sunday lunch was a big disappointment all round. After being advised we would be shown our seating we waited, eventually we asked the same barmaid if the empty table by the window was ours and told ‘Yes’. We sat and sat waiting for a menu until again we managed to attract the barmaid who apologised and brought some menus. During this time two other staff members were laying tables and completely ignoring everything around them although it turned out they were serving the tables. Again we had to stop someone to ask if we could order and when our main course arrived it was almost plonked on the table but we were asked if we would like any other condiments. No surprise the condiments never arrived until we asked another staff member who said they would fetch some, but in a nano second turned the other way and ran to have a group photo taken with a well known celebrity who was dining there. I understand having a celebrity may distract you and the majority of staff were young and flattered by the thought of having a TV personality in their presence, but if all your staff run out the kitchen and others leave the floor what happens to your other customers. There was no welcome or reaction from the staff, the food sadly on this occasion was not up to its usual standard but the bill was still over £100 mark. I am sorry to find I have been compelled to write this negative review as the usual standards of this pub have always shone, but I hope the manager reads this and reviews.

Today was our second visit to the Compton Inn. This was for a Sunday roast and the previous visit was in the evening. The atmosphere of the pub is lovely, a fire burning and warmth from radiators. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is great. Good choices on the menu including salads and sandwiches. Will definitely be visiting again and would recommend it.

Sehr freundlicher und kinderlieber Service. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet.

Really enjoyed our visit, staff very pleasant

Really good food and very nice staff , looking forward to returning. Thank you

This is the third time me have eaten here and they are brilliant. The food was fantastic very high quality with a menu much better than most places. Greeted at the door by staff and made to feel at home by the locals. Service throughout was second to none, I would like to say to the manager a very well done in selecting top rate staff. Five stars is not enough for the Compton Inn well done everyone and a merry Christmas to you all. We well come back thank you.

Beautiful country pub, decked out with Christmas decorations. We had booked for late afternoon meal, and weren't disappointed. Table staff were quick, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Really varied menu, and we loved everything, particularly the al dente veg. We will visit again for certain. Thankyou......

Excellent food and drink. Proper country pub. Very friendly staff and service

I went on Monday with a friend, I Have been quite often! My Friend and I were not that impressed!¡ very cold, no atmosphere!¡ no background music! So could here ather people talking, the bar maid seemed very unathastic!! Food was not that special!!

Friday last we visited the The Compton at lunch time, we had a warm welcome and the Inn was inviting , sadly the meal did not meet our expectations, most of it was pretty tasteless , sad because it could have been a lot better, speaking as an ex chef I know what I am talking about.

Great lunch, friendly helpful staff.

Lovely country pub. Nice lunch.

Looks like a splendid place but ruined by cigar smoke and uncontrolled dog jumping up at our table. Told if not to our liking go to back garden !! Avoid . . .

Lovely pub. Decent beer. The staff were lovely. The new manger is doing a great job. Well worth a visit.

Great fireworks for Bonfire Night, but haven't been inside to try there services.

Always love it bit pricey but the food is always great so worth a visit

Very nice meal, little bit squeezed in on our table, but would go back again. Really enjoyed our lunch.

Great food and plenty to satisfy most appetites . Service was very good. We will definitely return soon for a evening meal
