The Globe Inn in Taunton Deane

Popped out having been to this pub when it was for sale and have to say the owners have done a lovely job, lots of local produce and home produced meats. There is a lovely feel to the pub and the owners are very welcoming. Look forward to coming back on a sunny day to enjoy the lovely garden.

Delightful country pub but very busy so recommend booking in advance. Food was fantastic with a perfectly cooked steak. Starters amazing, almost a meal on their own. Beer was first class and the staff incredibly friendly and efficient despite being busy. The beer garden was great too.

Everything you could want from a country pub. A beautiful setting, wonderful staff, and fantastic food. We went for lunch on the Friday, immediately decided to book for dinner on the Saturday, and was not disappointed. Go here!

Stopped here after walking to the local village shop that had closed before I made it there. Could not of asked for a nicer place to stop, only had a pint of Coke but after the shop being closed was starving and asked very politely if the kitchen could do me anything despite the pub kitchen also being closed and the polite landlady saying she would see what she could do. Ten minutes later I was enjoying some rather tasty cheesy garlic bread! Defo recommend and the food and price looked a bargain!

Lovely experience, very welcoming and friendly staff. Staying nearby we looked for a traditional pub diner producing locally sourced food. The food is cooked to order so not at McDonald speed which is good, more time to enjoy a nice beer. Very chatty staff and pleasant local pub experience definitely would recommend.

Really lovely find! We were on a girls break away and had found this pub by chance. The owner was so welcoming and lovely, she chatted to us for ages. The food was absolutely beautiful I honestly can’t fault it at all. We had the gammon, the fish, and the vegetarian tart. The atmosphere and interior is stunning and the service was top notch. Honestly nothing bad to say and hope to return one day. Thank you!

Had a great St Patricks Day celebration yesterday. We had a lovely lunch and a band were playing Irish music so created a great atmosphere. Wonderful pub and Mandy and Stu are a great Landlord and Landlady. We visit quite regularly and highly recommend.

My husband and I have visited this lovely pub today with friends and we will definitely visit again. The pub is in a really nice location with plenty of parking. The landlords Stuart and Mandy are such friendly people and made us feel really welcome. We had a beautiful lunch that is all cooked fresh. I am a vegetarian and found there was plenty for me to choose from. We stayed for a couple of drinks after our meal and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in the bar. This pub is a great find with such welcoming staff. We will return very soon thank you.

My first visit to this charming Inn. Quirky and delightful . Food staff service and ambience superb. Will definitely be back. Very nice wine and prices .

This place is beautiful inside and out! The Globe and The Smythy is perfect! This is our 2nd stay, and we are coming back again in the summer! we absolutely love it here, Mandy and Stu are the most amazing hosts/ owners you can ask for! the food is also fantastic! we can't fault anything, thank you for having us again!

Amazing food, very hot and home produced burger was mouthwatering as was the home produced 10oz Sirloin Steak

2 of us met for a social/business meeting at the Globe - I've not been for years. The new managers have the place in very good nick, and the delightful food was served quickly and piping hot, on hot plates. The staff were warm and friendly - what you see is what you get. We will be looking at booking here for our Rotary Christmas meal.

Our 2nd visit to The Smithy. The beautifully converted former Smithy is decorated and furnished to a very high standard. A lot of thought has been put into ensuring you have everything you need in this self catering accommodation to make it seem like home from home. The accommodation adjoins The Globe Inn. A lovely country pub with character. The delicious pub meals are all freshly cooked using produce almost entirely sourced in Somerset. Hosts (Stuart and Mandy) are a lovely, friendly, helpful couple. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We will definitely be back.

Our second vist to the Smithy cottage and as before excellent from start to finish. Mandy and Stuart gave us a very warm welcome and luna was pleased to see us. The cottage once again was spotless and nice touch being milk ,bread ,water ,tea,coffee and jams. Had a excellent meal on the Saturday evening and as per usual Stuart's cooking was excellent. Mandy and Stuart are lovely people and make you feel at home with great hospitality. We can recommend the globe 100%. Thank you so much for making our stay lovely.

Great food, good value excellent atmosphere and service Globe Inn has a great garden and the old pub looks great following a big renovation project. Village pubs are struggling but the Globe is bucking the trend

WOW WOW AND WOW. Can’t recommend this pub/accommodation highly enough. Came all the way from Australia and it feels like home away from home. The publicans treated us with so much warmth and friendliness we felt like family. They went over and above to accommodate our every need. We stayed in their cottage for a few nights, which is immaculate. The bed is so comfortable, which allowed us to rise fresh and revitalise each morning. The food is very reasonably priced for such generous portions. The menu is extensive and caters for all dietary needs. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The food is like a good home cooked meal. (Very generous serves) The accomodation is amazing. I would give The Globe Inn 6 stars out of 5 and highly recommend you take the time to visit. I can guarantee you will be back. Warmest regards Gail & Nigel (2 very happy customers)

We went to the Globe for a family celebration and were warmly welcomed by our hosts Mandy and Stuart. They did everything they could to ensure we had a wonderful time even making sure my picky son had something he liked. Whilst we were there a large party arrived for their meal but they were extremely late and extremely rude to Mandy screaming abuse at her in front of us all Mandy remained polite at all times and continued to offer them options for some of their party who were vegan but the abuse continued until Mandy politely asked them to leave Mandy immediately checked that all the other dinners were OK and apologised for something that in my opinion was not her fault We could not have had a nicer family celebration thank you

We were welcomed yet again by Stuart & Amanda and her staff, this time for a family evening meal. We were all most pleased with both the quality of the meals and the friendly service. This is a great pub which was lovingly restored by Stuart and Amanda during the covid years. The original features were conserved, including the flagstone floors and quirky nooks and crannies. My family were intrigued by the photo of a previous landdlady (Mrs Enticott?) who lived at the pub from the age of 1 and eventually held the post of landlady for 57 years. The Globe has accommodation across the drive and many tables and chairs just over in the orchard, for these lazy months of summer.

We arrived for a 5 night stay in The Smithy on 31/05/23 for a birthday getaway. We received a very warm welcome from Mandy and Stuart, owners of the pub. The cottage that Mandy showed us around was fabulous in every way, very tastefully converted, ideal for a couple. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we had been supplied fresh bread and milk, jams butter and water which after our journey was very much appreciated. We had a couple of amazing meals, all local fresh produce which was prepared by Stuart (great culinary skills). If you want a good atmosphere, good company and great food then visit this pub. I promise you will not be disappointed! We would like to thank Mandy and Stuart for being great hosts and making this birthday a memorable one. We are definitely going back, rebooking for later this year and for a repeat birthday celebration next year!

Really sorry to have to say that our recent visit to The Globe Inn was not at all comfortable... Admittedly, our family party of eight were a little late, but we had booked for an early session in the hope that our numbers wouldn't be a problem and we were still there before 6.30pm. We were made aware immediately that we had caused a problem, by arriving later than booked, and for wanting to sit outside instead of inside. Having decided to make the best of our rather lukewarm reception, we set about ordering immediately so that we could try to make up for some of the lost time, and not cause the kitchen any further headaches. After looking at the menu, which said we should ask about the Inn’s vegan and gluten free options, two of our party with these particular dietary requirements went inside to make the enquiry. They were told that the Inn ‘does not appreciate vegans’, at which point we really felt that we needed to leave… This is the first negative review that I have posted on TripAdvisor, and I do so now reluctantly, especially as we had been recommended this Inn by family who live locally. However, I’m afraid that our family party were not made to feel at all welcome, and those of us with particular dietary requirements even less so. We were able to return to our very local holiday accommodation and cook ourselves something instead, but we were nevertheless taken aback that the start to our looked forward to family evening out together turned out to be such an unexpected challenge…

The Globe Inn is 'fantastic'! We spent three nights here and this was the highlight of our break. Stuart, Mandy and all the locals make you feel so welcome! So welcome, that we were even taken to see their racehorse! Food is 5*. The menu is extensive and extremely good value for money. You must try Pizza night.

We stayed at The Smythy (attached to the pub) and had a great stay. Amanda and Stuart did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. We ate pizza at the pub on Friday (it was lovely) and then had a meal from the menu. Great food! Can highly recommend. The Coronation afternoon tea was a highlight!

We had a great meal out on Friday 14th April with our daughter and son-in-law at this historic Somerset pub. It is to be found in the village of Appley, near Ashbrittle. Visitors to Somerset would be well advised to use the postcode on their satnav. We were well looked after by Stuart & Amanda and their lovely staff. Each of us had a different dish, all excellently prepared and cooked by Stuart and his kitchen staff. The pub was lovingly restored a few years ago, with the emphasis on conservation to retain most of the pub's original features. There is a well-stocked bar and i enjoyed sampling Sam's Cider, which was most light and refreshing - and a new one to me. Amanda informed us that accommodation is available, if booked in advance.

Visited last night with my husband and a couple of friends and had a really great night. Our food was superb and service was brilliant. We had visited for food a couple of times previously and the food and service have been great each time. Our friends were impressed and have said they would certainly go again.

Revisited the Globe at Appley (not to be confused with two others withing 15 miles) with friends, for the first time since well before COVID. The four of us had lunch, two each having the sea bass and two their mini "chicken and mushroom wellington" - pastry wrapped in an individual oven dish. Accompanied by fresh veg, these were all excellent! The pub now has a bar serving real ale plus three other rooms, with character ceilings (mind your head). For a small village pub, the menu was varied and well priced and gets changed regularly. I'd recommend it to anyone passing through Somerset into Devon on the M5 or A38 - or anyone like us who live close to the Somerset/Devon border. Really friendly owners - we will visit again soon! SATNAV gets you there - just a few picturesque miles off the A38 and then turn right just after the Appley Pavilion (village hall and cricket ground).

What a fab little gem of a place to go to. Food fab...chips are amazing!! Staff really helpful and polite. We will be back. Thankyou

Wow after all day riding for charity Alzheimer’s LeJog in desperate search for road towards Taunton we managed to circle 10miles around same spot in downpour.Luckily I stoped lady in car and we asked for nearby pub just to recharge we had enough.She point us...

This was the nearest pub to our b&b so we would’ve visited more than once had it been open - they only do Wednesday- Saturday. Food was excellent - tasty, generous portions and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend leaving room for the chocolate fudge cake. Pleasant...

Had a wonderful lunchtime visit to the The Globe Inn at Appley, near Wellington, Somerset. It was easy to find via Greenham Hall, after leaving the A38. We were greeted by Stuart & Amanda, the new owners who spent many thousands of hours during the...

Lovely meal which was very well seasoned. AMAZING Covid-19 Social Distancing that is in place! Could have done with a pudding menu but under the circumstances of Covid-19 I understand why they have a limited menu.

Having been for a local walk we stopped here today for lunch, our first visit under the latest ownership/management (not sure which). Unfortunately I am unable to rate the food as the options were all full meals which would have been far to much. A...

My friend Cathy and I have just returned from two nights away, staying at The Old Dairy B and B, and chose to eat at The Globe for our first night because it was the nearest pub. We enjoyed the experience so much we decided...

Went here for my birthday meal was ok but the service was quite slow, therefore the children were getting hungry.

The pub has had a rather chequered history in the past few years, but new owner, Roly is now in control and has brought the Inn back to its previous good standard. Have been visiting this local pub on a relatively frequent basis for a...

Went here for a works evening out, the staff were very friendly, food was lovely, reasonably priced and I would definitely recommend.

A good friendly welcome,but seemed rather disorganised.we were here for a wake and a most odd selection of food.All food was served cold including spring rolls cut up baguettes with tuna fillings on.small selection of salad, indifferent sausages a few roast spuds thrown in.We ordered...

Lovely two course meal at the Globe Inn with very welcoming and friendly staff. Delicious desserts. Would highly recommend a trip here! We would have returned the following day however, it closes early on a Sunday.

Great new team including chef therefore food & drink. Welcoming, real community spirit in upholding their local pub for all to enjoy. Damn good food & service!

Had a fantastic meal at the globe, creedy carver duck was cooked to perfection. Amazing setting in the Somerset country side, a must visit for local and holiday makers.

Organising group outings is difficult to say the least and somewhere to eat is sometimes impossible. But The Globe were positive and helpful from the start.

As a local I was looking forward to the pub re-opening - and I am not disappointed. Roly, the landlord is friendly and is creating a welcoming and comfortable eating and drinking environment. A slight blip when the new chef turned out to be not as good as he made himself out to be - but the new chef (Ged) is doing a good job. Reasonably priced fayre for simple home cooked dishes.

This little hideaway has recently re-opened. Gorgeous food and extremely friendly, welcoming staff. Shall definately return.

Our family of 13, ranging in age from 2 to 72, had Sunday lunch in this restaurant-cum-pub. We were made very welcome by the friendly staff, and the food (and wine) were excellent. Highly recommended.

Years back, The Globe had a splendid reputation and guests came from miles around to visit this treasured gem in Appley. Then, as often happens, things changed and the pub was closed. Recently, The Globe has re-opened, having been tastefully restored by local craftsmen. The owner and his staff are friendly, welcoming and professional, with a wonderful buzz about the whole place. Local beers etc are on offer and an excellent chef and team have been appointed. The chef specialises in local produce and has a penchant for game - often with an Italian twist, it would seem. Our debut meal there last evening was an absolute joy. Table decor is smart with a country flare (local wild flowers etc), service unassuming but excellent and food outstanding. We both fell for the fillet steak, with creamed potatoes, wilted spinach and an outstanding bone marrow jus - it was perfect! Interesting starters and desserts are on offer too. Long may it last!

The Globe is open again, it’s had a much needed face lift. They have just started serving food.

Don't go to this place, it is my hidden secret. Great staff and locals, awesome food and especially the pizzas. Wonderful local wacky community pub, a real gem

Early Sunday evening, family dinner. Good food selection, Traditional pub fayre cooked very well. Not expensive. Service very good. Well worth a visit. Oh, and the Exmoor Gold Ale was very very nice.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, great value for money too and big portions, all the food was homemade and looked lovely. Will come again when in the area. Was nice to have venison as an option!

Loved to hear the Globe Inn was open again.

It is the same old Globe repainted with a simpler internal decor - there was no need for all the old dinky toys and posters to remain. The young couple now running the pub are very welcominvg and friendly. The menu was simple and the food was excellent. We will be going back and it is a welcome return of an old favourite to our list of pubs in this part of the Somerset/Devon border.

As noted in other reviews, after being one of the top eating places in the area The Globe went downhill some years ago and eventually closed, by which time the fabric of the building had deteriorated and its reputation lost. A young couple recently reopened it and have done a wonderful job, with obviously limited resources, in bringing it back to life.

El mundo ha abierto, nuevo esquema de pintura y un nuevo menú.

Hasta alrededor de hace cinco años el mundo Inn era el lugar para comer en el área de Wellington,

Entramos aquí en el parque de turismo en sábado Waterrow.

We returned after the pub reopened under new management and very glad we did. We dined on their steak night and the steak was cooked beautifully. The cinnamon donuts were delicious and a must try. We will be back to try their daily menu.

We have just spent a wonderful evening dining at this lovely pub, the ribeye steak was cooked to pure perfection and followed by the most tasty ever cheese board was just about pure heaven, they have a really nice garden and I would highly reccomed the tasting the rhubarb and ginger gin! Wonderful hosts and such a relaxing atmosphere.

Encontré este lugar cuando vuelva en la autopista y buscando algo de comer, lejos de los servicios de la autopista. Tomó un tiempo para tropezar con él, pero merece la pena. Menú Almuerzo muy pequeño, más que una lista de docenas de platos - este hecho dio más confianza que se busca en el hogar para cocinar y lo suficientemente seguro de que es lo que conseguimos. Artículos inusuales incluía una ensalada muy sabrosa y creativa conejo mientras tuve algunos excelentes pasteles de pescado. Tenía una rápida charla con los propietarios Chef/y mirando la cocina, son claramente más preparación, si no todas, de las propios platos. Una bandeja de tartas cerdo cocinado confirmó este, como algunas de las deliciosas tartas caseras, buscando que nos llevaron a casa para probar (y, de hecho, eran deliciosos).

This young couple have a lot to offerEverything about our experience was wonderful. The service was impeccable from the moment we arrived. The Goble had a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The flavour explosions in the mouth were amazing and the Pork Belly was lovely. The plates of food were beautifully presented, perfectly seasoned and delicious.We are from Bath, but this is definitely going to be our go-to Pub each time we visit Somerest

The Globe has just reopened under new management so I came by with my partner to check it out on the opening night.Although the new lordlord is still renovating some of the side rooms, the main areas (including huge beer garden) are open and we were both really impressed overall. I chatted to a few of the locals who are glad to see the place reopen.Firstly, the food was clearly fresh and cooked to order. It was fancy without being pretentious so it made the occasion feel special. The menu was made up of fresh twists on classic British and particularly countryside foods. The food is well priced too, the meals aren't cheap pub grub but are priced almost cheap for the high standard of dining.The drinks are good, with some lovely Orchard Pig cider on tap. Could do with a bigger range of ales and spirits, but I know that is coming with the further renovations and as demand gets evaluated.Finally, the service was great. All the staff were attentive and polite. They checked you were well looked after, but without pestering you too much - which is how I like things.The Globe is one of the best restaurant pubs I've been to and I look forward to seeing it go from strength to strength. Highly recommended.

The Globe Inn at Appley now under new management held its grand re-opening last night. Great atmosphere & fantastic food with a more modern look to the inside of the pub. Great promised for the future.

Great food, and a lovely warm, child and dog friendly atmosphere.Really enjoyed the pork and we'll be back to try the rest of the menu!

We popped in here for a bit of light lunch and really enjoyed it. The pub has a large outside covered seating area but we decided to sit inside.The menu looked lovely and had a lot of variety.We were just after something light so opted for Italian breads and olives for two and a portion of buffalo wings from the starters menu. Our food was well presented, delicious and plenty for the two of us for lunch.Service with a smile and very attentive. Would definitely recommend!

Never disappointed at the globe good food made feel very welcome dog and child friendly always worth a visit lovely outside seating and children's play area both separate lovely outside plants and flowers def recommend

Has a certain quaintness and the bar staff are lovely. However the place really needs at least a tidy up if not a full refurb. Good range of local beers served from the smallest of bars. Good beer garden if sunny. Good sized car park at rear. Has a traditional skittle alley.

Fantastic roast dinner and home made yorkshire puds all lovely and fresh. Then skittles after much fun be back again soon

The food was not great to say the least, Very basic and not well cooked. Another dine left her whole meal and walked out. My steak was tough as old boots. The Landlord appeared to be very fond of his produce too and the service was slow.I would not recommend this place.

Love this place. Food really excellent and we really enjoy eating here. The menu is eclectic and varied. The food is unpretentious, well prepared and reasonably priced. The seafood is outstanding, and virtually unobtainable in any other pub in Somerset. The customers and staff are quirky, welcoming, interesting and cerebral. I understand and appreciate what a decent country pub is like. Emphasis on 'country' here, so yes, it might smell of wood fire and dogs on a casinos. If your delicate constitution couldn't possibly stand this, then you might want to relocate to one of the 'Wimpy home' style pubs currently proliferating within the local area. You can drink your pint of fizzy larger and masticate on a plastic burger, whilst staring at a large screen TV that blares out some appalling football match, standing next to people wearing baseball caps and electronic tags around their ankles. One of the many things I like here is that there is no 'canned music', meaning that you can discuss, converse, argue and generally put the world to rights without having to be beaten down by the tyranny of the latest 'Now 243' CD. There are several small and discreet rooms which gives the impression of being more like a private members club rather than the country boozer it undeniably is. Improvements? Ditch the Badger ham, it gave my wife TB. If Fox cutlets served on a bed of foxgloves with a reduction of squirrel tears is not on the menu for my next visit I'm off to the nearest McDonalds.

I am a black retriever called dodger and my owner took me to this very good pub with a big garden in pretty country with lots of walks. The kind barman who makes excellent cocktails they said ,saved me from being run over by a tractor. I had a large bowl of water and a big supper and felt welcomed. The humans were saying that the poor landlord is very ill in hospital and so his wife has to run the pub and visit him a lot so why are the people who are rude about this pub not kinder at the moment.?The landlord's dogs are very sad because he will never be able to take them on walks again.I will go back again whatever they say.

Popped in for a pint and some grub last Saturday. arrived around 7pm, its wasn't busy the kitchen clearly couldn't cope. The spelling mistakes on the menu should have alerted me to the fact that it wasn't going to be great. It wasn't. Had a nice pint of Butcombe beer by the tiny bar, then made our way into the dining area to sit. It's very cramped with a piano right in the way. There are 2 large tables in the piano room (I guess seating around 6) when people are seated, access is difficult due to the randomly placed piano. there is an adjacent room with a few more tables but I didn't venture in. There's a good choice of food catering for all tastes. I opted for a burger, as did my pal. Other members of the group ordered a steak, some prawns and a spag bol. Food was delivered in good time. Missing starters of bread and olives (the bread, was just dry bread with a small pot of butter, not Italian style bread as i would expect with olives but in fairness, it was just advertised as bread) 2 dry burgers, missing onion rings, prawns with missing finger bowl , a steak that appeared to have everything and a spag bol. We asked for extra sauces, they came but missing some of the items we asked for. The young girl serving (blonde hair) was rushed off her feet and not coping well, the whole place comes across as being very disorganised. The extra sauces never came, neither did one portion of missing onion rings. I gazed into the kitchen en-route to the gents, again, very busy with the small mount of staff they had and to the onlooker, more disorganisation. We were just finishing our meal and we heard another customer telling the landlord that she had reserved the table we were sat at - the reserved signs however. A strange place, almost like the Faulty Towers of the pub world. Would i visit again, well I'd probably have to as my chums live nearby but it wouldn't be through choice. Beer was ok, food and service could do better.

Have been here many times and will always suggest meeting here if a group of our friends want to meet for a nice pub lunch. Haven't been for a while and must have changed hands. New menu written on chalk board....prices had really gone up too. My husband had a chicken curry which was dry and unpleasant. I had a ham sandwich-the ham was delicious but cheap thick margarine....no chutney or nice side salad so all in all had to force it down after a few bites.Kids sausage and mash was foul-lumpy gravy which i would not serve...sausages tasted past there best. All in all grim and we felt robbed at £50.New owners dogs running wild in the garden among the now highly dilapidated children's play equipment. One dog did his business right next to where we were sitting,completely unacceptable and disgusting. The inside is grotty, carpet covered in dog hair. Such a shame as it is in a lovely spot and we have many happy memories of afternoons there. Wont be returning any time soon.

Sunday lunch was excellent. Unusual veg, Yorkshire puddings cooked from fresh. Beer is good. Service was very professional and friendly. Quirky building. Nice beer garden.

A lovely lunch and welcome drinks in the sunny garden. Just the right way to round off a walk and very friendly people.

I'm sorry to write bad reviews but our food experience here was beyond terrible. We'd been travelling all day and just wanted something to fill our stomachs as was all starving. We ordered bread and asked for balsamic vinegar. We were brought out bread already soaked in vinegar, which is a first for us. It was soggy and definitely not balsamic it was soaked in, this was the first no no. Then onto the mains, we all ordered fish and chips, my fish was burnt and the chips well, they were inedible. They looked like they'd been fried for days and was literally just skin left. All three dinners had these thrown on. I really can't comprehend how bad this meal was. Plus paying £12 per meal and £8 for a child's meal that were this bad did leave me a bitter taste in my mouth.The only shimmer of hope was I'm guessing the landlord ,sat in the bar, he was kind and gave our daughter a chocolate bar.

great fresh food, great service with a smile and laught. Very busy pub which goes to show how good it is by how popular it is. Told food all local products. Get for familys nice garden and play area recomend to any 1 wanting to eat out. Cant fault food at all

This place has certainly gone downhill since we last ate here- before the current management. We both had upset stomachs during the night and the runs the next day after a meal here on Thursday evening.My steak was tasty but half of it was fat; half a tomato and one sliced mushroom and overcooked frozen peas.My husband had sausage and mash of which I have seen better served in a school canteen.The desserts were equally strange-I had strawberries and cream which consisted of a mountain of squirty cream with 2 sliced strawberries stuck all over the outside of it.My husbands crumble was also poor and at £6 a go we thought overpriced.All together not good value for money.Don't visit this place if you don't like dogs and please sort out the dead thing up the chimney! Very doggy smell even with all the doors open.Come on - you are letting things slide.Don't do the same thing you did at the Culmstock Inn.

The Globe was recommended to me for its food and when I went with friends I was thoroughly disappointed.The soup was cold and bland, the risotto overcooked bland and cold, the fish in the fish and chips was clearly fried from fozen and there were too many flowers on the meal to disguise the shortfalls.When ot came to the pudding the sticky toffee pudding was good but the creme brulee a diaster. A sticky curdled mess with soggy burned suger top was quite an insult. I don't know whether the pub had temporary staff on that day but it was not what I expected. Quirky and friendly service though and it was nice to be able to sit in the garden.

Well it's been a long time since my last review...about 350 years ago to approximate....but the food HASN'T changed ONE IOTA. "Crow Pie" was as was is was....Rosemary scented Borelet (Wow!)....Three ways with Old Goose Eggs was just...well ....a bit hydrogen sulphideish but well masked with a Black Lard and Capon Bits Remoulade. Pudding, well where do I start...Coddled Nobber was a direct hit! Love it and would defacately recco wotsit...? Innit

Dropped in for Sunday lunch. It's a proper country pub. Service with a smile and a laugh. All the food I saw looked great, portions very generous. The bar in the corridor is a little cramped but adds to the character.

Great location, great food, great service. Very busy pub which goes to show how good it is by how popular it is. Will come again when in the area.

We walked to this quiet country pub from Tracebridge. The bar is tiny and quaint but there are several rooms and a garden in which to eat. The food was freshly cooked and delicious. The pub owner made recommendations and the chef came to see whether we were enjoying the meal - we definitely were!

A warm and friendly welcome, a good menu, excellent beer and the quality of cooking you always wish for. Mainly locally sourced, the food is excellent and the presentation simple and attractive. Recommend for all.

We visited for lunch and beer with a local friend who recommended this pub. The lunch was excellent in the lovely garden. Friendly service and very good value. Unfortunately the beer was in poor condition which was disappointing.

Very extreme fantastic great Village pub restaurant highly recommend anyone and everyone to try this place .........

We have visited several times for liquid refreshment and love the varied selection of beers and ciders on offer. On two occasions we visited on Sundays for a lunch. Each time we had the Beef Ploughmans. The beast did not die in vain. Cooked perfectly it was tender and succulent. We look forward to visiting soon. 'tis a 'proper pub'.

How good country pubs used to be and we still wish they still were, a jumble of rooms, fire places and bar staff who aren't afraid to express their views. The menu is extensive and varied, and always well cooked. A good selection of wine and beers. Lovely garden for summer afternoons.Justin mixes some great cocktails, rumour has it he'll organise a lift home if you indulge a bit more than planned. Give it a go you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Having recently tested the foam this public house exudes I thought it providential to square off my review from an altogether different perspective. We all had the "Asparagus Tower of Power". Well, where do I start.. .probably at the bottom. Lush it was. It was draped in a melted Crunchy Bar.Ta. Luscious.

Came here after walking the dog. Barman told me in no uncertain terms a dog wouldn't be welcome inside- I hadn't asked to bring him in, just mentioned I'd finished a long walk. I ordered a prawn in Marie rose sauce sandwich but could only have a baguette. When it arrived the sauce was so diluted it was barely pink & tasted of nothing at all. It dripped out of the baguette & was evidently very diluted. A great shame that something so simple should be so difficult to get right. On the plus side I asked for a glass of water (I'd ordered a pot of tea too)& it was provided with ice & fruit slices without complaint or cost. The barman under charged me. When I pointed out his mistake I didn't get so much as a thank you or a smile. Although the pub itself was comfortable and pleasant, such a disappointing basic baguette from a kitchen that purports to serve quality meals means I'd be reluctant to return.

Very dissapointing, I had not visited for a while and am sorry to say will not again. Firstly the overwhelming smell of dogs was rather off putting. As what I wanted from the menu was not available, I decided on fish with salad. The salad was unimaginative and I was hoping for a piece of fresh fried fish not a triangle that looked as if it had come from a packet. The prices are expensive compared to other local pub restaurants. I was also shocked to find that from reading these reviews that my fish was cooked in beef fat, I do not eat any meat apart from fish. However I have to say the staff who served us were friendly

This establishment catered brilliantly for a large group of 21 with ease. We had a wide range of food choice and the kitchen delivered with great consistency. I know for a fact the plaice gougons were made from scratch as we saw the fish prior to being made. Also a good beer on tap. We were made very welcome and I would recommend for somewhere to go for a beer/wine of a meal out.

We recently ate at this establishment and I have to mention the landlord. We all ate badger ham with squirrel foam (served appropriately pink). When we asked Mr Richard where he procured the aforementioned victuals, he replied "in the beer garden ". Well you can't get more local than that! Anyway to cut a long story short it was bluddy good.

Great meal and atmosphere a relaxed dining experience Superb real ales and wine list. Justin the barman is very knowledgeable on drinks, try the sloe gin and bitter lemon, outstanding.

I've never been made to feel such an inconvenience on a meal out before. The seating was awkwardly tight, the landlord was embarrassingly drunk and incredibly rude, the food was pretentiously priced, and what was served was less than appetising. This pub use to be the heart of the village, I'm really sad for the pub to give such negative feedback, but there was absolutely NOTHING positive about our evening out. Sorry The Globe- but get rid of Richard otherwise you'll end up in the same place as The Culm Valley did.

oh my! Don't know where to start- very very rude landlord- he was so drunk he could barely walk. He spent the entire evening insulting our party. The food was ghastly. I was sick for 24 hours afterwards. We had an evening that we would never forget and we did wonder if it was a set up for candid camera. Dreadful place

A group of us went to eat here for a friend's birthday. When we arrived we were not seen to or shown a menu, to then be asked if we were ready to order. The owner who was taking our order was drunk and couldn't write our order down. When our starters arrived they had missed off one (by the time is was ready everyone else had finished theirs). The mains came out in dribs and drabs (two meals forgotton), chips disgusting, hair in food and no veg.The service was appalling with rude comments from the landlord saying he thought we were going to be trouble when we arrived! All we wanted was a nice meal in a local pub of ours, instead we got hair infested food and lots of abuse from the drunk landlord!Will never ever be going back while that owner is at the pub and would advise all to stay clear.A very disappointing evening for a special birthday - a great shame!

Went to the globe on Saturday night the pub is a lovely place and the food was out standing my husband had fish and chips which he said best he had in a long time

The Globe is a wonderful pub - make no mistake about that. It is as pubs used to be - friendly, uncluttered by modern music or paraphernalia, cosy and warm. However, the landlord is, well, unusual. I arrived and he was sprawled across two thirds of the small bar on the customer's side leaving very little space for service. Why? I had fish and chips; not to be recommended. The fish "portion" was heavily encrusted in batter; more like a deep fried fish sandwich than as it should be. The chips were similar - masses of unwelcome fat filled crispy bits - lovely in small doses, but at this quantity was only just short of a cardiac arrest. The price, at £12.00 was horrific value.

My wife and I were on a weekend break and the Globe Inn was recommended to us as having 'excellent' food. When we arrived, we found the restaurant to be quirky and staffed by eccentric but, initially, friendly staff. We did notice a strong smell of dog but were prepared to put up with that if we were going to have a good dining experience. We ordered wine but they had a remarkably limited selection for a restaurant charging London prices, ie one or two choices! We sat down to have a drink and perused the extensive menu which was posted on a blackboard. On the face of it, a lot of the food sounded enticing. We both ordered mussels to start. These were OK although the liquor it was in was a tad salty. However, we had to ask for a finger bowl and then given a bar towel to dry our fingers rather than a napkin!Then it got worse. I ordered Hake in a carrot and vanilla veloute as it sounded different. My wife had red mullet. When they arrived, the presentation was very uninspiring .The veloute was lumpy and looked like the chef has simply passed the carrot roughly through a food processor and then added vanilla essence ( not the smooth bechamel-style, stock-based sauce you would expect ). My wife's red mullet came on a pile ( and I mean a pile ) of very ordinary tasting mash potato. None of the food was seasoned properly so tasted bland and uninteresting. We attempted to eat the food, as we were hungry, but had to give it up as a bad job. When the manager came to collect the plates, I told him the food was 'seriously underwhelming'. He offered to take one of the meals off the bill at that stage. We then simply sat there until it was clear that we would have to go to the bar to pay the bill. When we did, I told the manager that I would pay for the mussels and the wine. Not for the main meals. He would not except this and said we 'had obviously come here looking for trouble' (and that he was not going to let us leave the building). I am not a natural complainer so his comments couldn't be further from the truth. We then had an exchange of words which eventually involved in the manager snatching my debit card and refusing to let it go. Then another man, sitting at the bar, drinking, became involved. He challenged me to guess the fruit in some form of drink and said he would give us the meal for free if I guessed right. I learned that this man was the landlord! I said I was not going to play games and was happy for pay for the starter and wine but not for the main meals. But there was no attempt from the management to be placatory or even apologise for the poor standard of the food. I mentioned the under seasoning and was told: 'well you've got salt and pepper on the table'. We were at an impasse and the management eventually told us to pay £43 and that would be that although in hindsight I think it was more than what we should have been charged. All in all, a very unpleasant experience. If I was offering advice, I would say the restaurant should reduce the number of items on its menu, get a better chef and improve their customer service before they can justify the prices they are charging. Suffice to say, we won't be going back.

The atmosphere was really nice the whole evening was. Would recommend booking for an earlier table as it fills up quick in the evening (around 7:30), the food was lovely (try the pork belly it's amazing, literally it's half of a pig). You defiantly need to save space for pudding NO MATTER WHAT!The parking is difficult so you want to research places to park first!!Also when leaving to go to the toilets brace yourself for a blast of coldness as the restaurant is really warm and the back door tends to be open!

What a fantastic old pub. With little snugs and individual rooms, all with open fires. We spent NY eve at the Globe and had a wonderful meal in a friendly atmosphere. Step back in time and get real service and enjoy being in the company of friendly, unpretentious people.
