The Nog Inn in South Somerset

Enjoyed a great dinner at Nog Inn Thursday evening. Thursday was 'fish night's so we opted for the set fish and chip supper for two. Price was reasonable and importantly food was very tasty and a generous portion. Desserts ( apple and berry crumble and ice cream respectively) were also tasty, well presented and wholesome. Place was busy which was good to see and together with lovely friendly staff, welcoming bar and good drinks menu this pub succeeds in offering a very warm, cosy atmosphere. Great to find a place like this which offers good value, quality and welcoming atmosphere. Keep it up!

Lovely little pub on multiple levels. Good food and service. Parking can be tricky but there are plenty of side roads you find a space on.

We have eaten out many times, but for the first time in our lives we found absolutely nothing to fault. We had the twice cooked belly of pork and everything on the plate was perfection. The staff were amazing and friendly and a lovely cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We stopped at the Nog Inn for lunch en route to Cornwall, having spotted it on Tripadvisor, and were thoroughly impressed. The Nog Inn has a cosy atmosphere and the bookshelves held plenty of books to occupy us and our children while we waited for our food to arrive. Our 5 year-old loved her beef burger from the children’s menu. Our 9 year-old rated the children’s ham, egg, and chips as ‘10 out of 5,’ and declared the cheesy garlic bread ‘absolutely amazing.’ My Cajun chicken burger was perfect, with plenty of spice. I hadn’t thought to ask for the bacon topping to be crispy and I was delighted to find it came that way. I’m very picky about chips and the handmade ones at the Nog Inn reminded me of the chips at the Ivy (divine). Golden and crisp on the outside, they practically melted in my mouth after a bite. My husband said his classic beef burger was properly handmade, one of the better burgers he’s had out in a while. Our side of fresh vegetables was a perfectly prepared medley of tenderstem broccoli, cauliflower, fine beans and fresh peas, lightly buttered. Service was friendly and the toilets were clean. If timings for our trip home to London allow, we’ll return to The Nog Inn for lunch next week.

I had a very pleasant stay indeed at The Nog Inn, a very homely room, modern, decorated to a high standard. Really comfy bed and pillows, plenty of plug sockets for charging all my tech, and using hairdryer and hair straighteners, and a huge TV for watching the Olympics! Really spacious walk-in shower, lovely big deep bath, immaculately clean. Just perfect. Would most definitely stay again. William and Amy are a lovely, friendly and hospitable couple, I was made to feel very welcome.

Good pub, good selection of beers, ciders and gins, my wife had the chicken curry, I had fish and chips, both well cooked and presented

The Nog Inn was a delight. Plenty of options on the menu. We opted for the pork belly and the lamb tagine and both were delicious. Perfect sized portions and good attention to detail. A proper home cooked taste, except my home cooking is not as good as this. Welcoming and friendly staff. Good beer. What is not to like!

Had an incredible stay at the Nog Inn, Wincanton. What a stunning pub with very well-renovated rooms to stay. Food and service was impeccable, would 100% recommend.

Food was delicious, the ambience and design of the homely Inn with log burner and comfortable decor is a lovely home from home,the friendly staff that are welcoming can't do enough to make your stay a memorable time. I can definitely recommend.

My wife and I have just spent three nights at the Nog Inn whilst visiting the area for a family reunion and were impressed by all aspects of our stay. The room was well equipped, fully comparable with a large modern hotel, and was scrupulously clean. Food, three breakfasts and one evening meal were excellent. All this is achieved without losing the best aspects of a friendly pub. The owners and staff work hard to achieve impressive results Thanks Simon Neary

The staff were friendly, although the waitress did apologise for taking so long to come back to take our order as she forgot about us! (She had asked what we wanted to drink as we sat down but we'd not seen the menu and wanted to order drinks that would go with our food). I ordered a pint of prawns and salad as my main, but when it came It Was Not a pint of prawns, but 8 in a pint glass with a bit of rocket in the bottom. For £15.50. Yes they were king prawns, but a pint of prawns I expect to be just that, a pint! Plus they still had the poo tube in because they were big and not cleaned. My friend enjoined his burger but mine (literally) left a bad taste in my mouth.

My uncle lives in Wincanton we have stayed various places but have to say this was the best. Friendly welcome super room and no need to go far for a really great meal. Will be back x

Beautiful food exceptionally made with a great selection. Stayed for 3 nights. Rooms beautiful. Not Inn is a hidden gem in Wincanton

Brilliant food, popped in after not visiting for a few months. The food was delicious, the Nog has always been consistent but this time it's got better. Really good quality food and cooked to perfection. Service was very attentive, you can tell that they really care about things.

Delightful pub stay - had dinner and breakfast. Room was spacious and beautifully set out, with high spec finishes, plentiful toiletries and charging points. Dinner very reasonably priced, good portions, swift service. Breakfast ordered the night before was delicious. Also available were juices, hot drinks, yoghurt, cereals and fruit. Note: Parking is available over the road. The pub restaurant is very popular - consider booking. Our room was at the back of the pub and it was very quite, the rooms have a key card entry system.

Fabulous, freshly prepared food, wonderful flavour and plenty of options for Gluten Free diners. Absolutely love this place.

Had a wonderful meal with my wife. Both had steak and both were excellent! Great food, great staff and lovely atmosphere. Near Wincanton for 2weeks and will definitely be back to The Nog Inn

I come here regularly with work and stay over and eat. Let me tell you how it is…. Rooms. They have 4 modern, well kept and spotless rooms, great Wi-Fi, huge tv, coffee and tea and the bathrooms are superb. Lots of little details makes it a comfortable stay. Food. Omg. Always busy, always superb dishes at a great price. Service. Second to none, the owners make you so welcome and the bar and waitress staff are quick, effective and interactive. In general, the best pub / food place in Wincanton by a mile. Noglife….

Tried this pub for a meal following a TripAdvisor search whilst staying locally. Good food and service. Recommend you give it a try.

Visited with friends and dogs for dinner on a Sunday. Chose because it was dog friendly and in the location we needed to be in. Car park opposite is tiny and only able to keep three cars really. Parked elsewhere (a few options in the area) and walked. Inside the pub is a good atmosphere. Staff were pleasant but one waitress seemed uncomfortable around our two well behaved dogs (we understand not everyone loves dogs). Food was really average unfortunately - tasted warmed up & not freshly cooked. Drinks were good. All very decently priced.

We were super lucky to get the last walk-in table. Friendly attentive staff (they seemed to pop up exactly as we were ready fir something eg another drink or a wedge to steady the table!) and generous yummy food menu.

Beautifully laid out rooms, spacious and modern with walk in wet rooms ( very good quality and stylish), the hosts Will and Amy are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast is beautifully cooked to order with a good choice. Evening meals are cooked to a very high standard and once again a great choice. Good choice of drinks at the bar and reasonably priced. Always a great stay. Jacqui

We were on our way back home to Hampshire from near Totnes and fancied Sunday lunch. We checked out Trip Advisor and the Nog Inn looked good. On first impression, from the outside, the pub doesn’t look great, but it is! Cannot fault the food...

Fantastic food, great service and family friendly atmosphere. Food came out quickly and everyone enjoyed their meals. A great place to eat. Only negative is a lack of good parking options near by.

Not much kerb appeal but lovely once you’re through the door. Our room was spacious and extremely comfortable. Superb mattress and lovely bedding gave us a wonderful nights sleep. Bath and shower meant both of us were happy. Dinner was delicious and the chef was...

If ever you’re passing through and Wincanton is a natural stoping point then the Nog is an excellent Sunday lunch. Make sure you book ahead!

Any port in a storm and stuck in the area on a Sunday with many pubs closed for food, we rang and found the ' Nog ' open. A traditional country pub, with a cosy atmosphere. It would be unfair to judge the standard of...

We stayed at the Nog Inn for 6 nights. We used this as a base for day trips in and around Somerset. The large room was brand new with all the comforts of home. William and Amy are great hosts and the breakfasts were the...

5 of us went for Tuesday’s steak night. Not only was it great value but the steak was amazing. Friendly service. Thoroughly recommend

Great little pub in the middle of town. Good pub food, good local beer. Hosts very friendly and helpful, room 2 is clean, modern and very comfortable- what’s not to like.

Wow! We feel so lucky to have found this place for a last minute trip to Stourhead then Longleat. The staff cannot be more accomodating for our small family unit! We always struggle to find anywhere suitable for our little one to stay with us,...

Really nice little Inn on the way through Somerset. Great home made burgers; I had the classic and my husband had the one Nduja added. Friendly staff and efficient. Unfortunately no table available outside in the sun but it is Good Friday and we didn’t...

Wow. Had a superb, fresh cooked meal, service as always is superb and the new rooms are outstanding. The attention to detail and ambiance is just right. Well done Team Nog,

all the dishes we had were tsty and beautifully cooked. Great service and accommodating to menu requests.

We are on holiday for the week and thought we would have Sunday lunch at the nogg. All I can say is what a disappointment. The pork was more fat than meat, the potatoes were so hard they were hard to cut as were the...

Very good value for money. Fish was excellent - tasty and well cooked. Service was personal and professional. Highly recommended.

My friend and I went to the Nog inn to eat! We saw some friends in there and sat on a table next to them without cutlery. The girl at the bar said to sit on a table without cutlery- we probably didn’t make it...

Another great meal at the Nogg inn never had a bad one yet highly recommend!!! Fantastic food good prices and lovely family run pub!

We had an excellent lunch today. The ham egg and chips was the best I’ve had for many years. The veggie burger was tasty and flavoursome.

Myself & the hubs booked a table here. We walked from the Shepherds Hut at Kimbers Farm shop... Lovely walk and lovely lunch. I had the beef... Perfect! Wasnt a fan of the potatoes, but that swede mash was DIVINE! book in advance, as theyre...

Great place, delicious soup and friendly staff! It was a warm welcome for two travellers who came all the way from Belgium and were hungry:)

Didn’t fancy cooking tonight, so picked up a takeaway from the The Nog Inn - twice cooked pork belly with mash and vegetables and Calvados sauce. The pork was melt in the mouth with a topping of amazing crackling. The mash was perfect, with great...

Only been to this place a couple of times but definitely need to go back. The burgers are amazing, there’s other stuff on the menu but I always get the burgers because they’re so good!

Lovely little pub with a real sun trap garden... Turned up 5 mins before the food should have stopped and there was no issue in accommodating me and my 2 boys. Lovely food, MASSIVE burgers - really pleasant staff.. well recommended!

Nice pub with good food. Nice friendly service and nice outdoor space. Looking forward to coming back here to stay when the rooms are finished.

Visited on a Saturday evening, table booked for 6.30, the order was taken promptly but food didn't arrive for over an hour. We watched numerous takeaways being collected during that time. The food was very good when it did arrive but spoiled by the delay.

Visited this lovely pub with my wife , managed to get a table without booking by the fire , the staff were amazing , great food and ales

Fabulous food and excellent service. Popped in for an evening meal while staying in Wincanton for a few days. We arrived shortly before the end of service but were welcomed and accommodated. It’s worth noting that many places in Wincanton stop serving food at present...

I usually don’t tend to review places if I didn’t actually taste their food… well we just walked out before ordering. Very strange service indeed. We made a booking last minute, all good and organised. Got in , very confused greeting like the lady never...

I can very much see why the reviews of this pub are so good! We ate here today and were really impressed with the quality of food and the service. It is also family friendly. Thank you

The food was very good. Pudding was excellent. Wouldn't recommend the pie though, lots of crust and not enough filling. Staff were very nice and there is a good choice of beer and cider.

Had a great dinner out with my family after a day at Longleat. Nice pub, well laid out with friendly staff with a good choice of food. We all had burgers. I would recommend the Otter ale. Only problem we found was getting parked near...

We have been ordering food from the nog during the lockdowns and must say we have been more than impressed with all of our meals, all the ingredients are great quality and everything is homemade, when we ring to place our order the staff are...

The Nog staff looked after our small group really attentively in a beautiful warm Gazebo in the garden, the food was all cooked to perfection and drinks were served regularly. Thoroughly enjoyable visit and good value to boot

Stopped in on the way back from Devon, although we did book when we were an hour away. Delicious Sunday roast. Large portions. Good value. Friendly staff.

Fabulous meal here last night... lovely pub a S atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Recommend the pies.... and great cider too!! Will certainly return if we are in the area again

Lovely atmosphere, good food and beer. Staff very friendly and a menu that could please anyone.. the best cheese garlic bread ever⭐️

Stopped off on the way from Cornwall to London. Delicious meals, reasonably priced, friendly, helpful staff. Also a great location in a lovely, historic town. The pub itself is historic as well. Very atmospheric - would highly recommend

We stopped off here on the off chance on our journey home and couldn't have picked a better choice. It was dog and child friendly, and we were greeted with a very warm welcome, despite not having booked. The food was amazing, the kids had...

Really lovely food, recommend the yummie puddings. Pleasant surroundings and very helpful, chatty staff. Would definitely visit The Nog again.

We booked a table here on our journey home from Devon and had to call a couple of times as we were delayed, first by a large boat being transported down small country roads and then traffic on the A303.We thought it would be a nice pub on a quiet road on the outskirts of town especially given the collection of ciders offered and the type of food. It turns out to be on the one-way system in the middle of town and from the outside not particularly inviting. However once inside it is very nicely fitted out and much better than the outside or location would suggest.The menu is comprehensive but not overlong with a good selection of dishes. I had the pork belly, my son a lamb rump and my wife the spice burger. All were very tasty and well presented. Mine was served with apple mash, potatoes with just a hint of apple. The burger was a lesson in high rise food construction. You'd need detachable jaws if you tried to eat this like "a burger".They offered me tasters of the ciders which was nice and very nice they were too. As I was driving I had to limit self to a single half.If you are going to travel past Wincanton and you can time meals this is a good option.

My family of four came en route to cornwall for a spot of lunch on Sunday. To get all the covid crap out the way there was santiser at the door and the staff wore face masks. Overall the covid prep seemed good. The food though was fantastic, me and Annie both had the pork belly which was simply awesome and great value at £13. One of the kids had a burger which was big and homemade and cooked to perfection. Our other child had plenty of veg options to choose from. The puddings were all about £5 but we didn't try them cos we were full. Great place to eat. There are not that many parking spaces maybe 6 cars max but you can park in the town car parks and have a short there.

When I moved to Wincanton from Wimbledon 16 years ago as a foodie I was apprehensive, My first night I took my guests to The Nog, what a fabulous meal. I still rate this as the best place to eat in Wincanton without any doubts. They have special deals on weekdays and Tuesdays Steak night is not to be missed, especially as the meat comes from Andrew Barclays (the best butcher)I judge, I cook and eat and so food for me is very important, we have an amazing choice of the best food in the South of England, strong on Diary, Meat, even Chocolate.The Sunday Roast at the Nog is not to be missed, but do book and go as early as you can. William will welcome you and your guests and will look after you.

Best of of my life cheap and delectable why is it so good plus it's pet friendly that's why I would rate it 💯 out of 10

Dropped off the A303 for an urgently needed stop during a long journey. The welcome we received at The Nog Inn was second to none, and the beautifully prepared in-house cooked food delicious. Great ambiance (our table was next to the log fire), great selection of drinks and friendly locals. Recommended. *****

Went here for dinner with my husband. The menu was varied, without being intimidating.I ordered the twice cooked belly and my husband had the short ribs. Both were piping hot and deicious. The staff were friendly, and not intrusive - none of that is everything okay every two minutes! tha ambience of the pub was delightful. Would highly reccommend

Most unprepossessing from the outside, the Nog Inn is a glittering jewel inside. Food is a cut above standard pub grub without being pretentious, ham, egg and chips is quality ham, duck eggs and handmade chips for example. Burgers are unbelievably thickset and loaded and handmade etc. Service is friendly and attentive informal without being overbearing - just like a pub but done right. Sure, the toilets will not win design awards but were clean and functional but we went two nights running for the food, drink and atmosphere, not to admire the plumbing! Top marks; go, be there and wonder, but book first.

I’m gluten free so it is always a real treat if I’m able to have a gluten free burger with a bun. I had the classic which was delicious. I was definitely not disappointed. I sat by an open fire which was also a great treat on a wet windy day. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The only reason I couldn’t give it 5 stars is that the toilets need seriously refurbishing. However I will be coming again.

Visited here whilst staying in the area and found it such a warm and welcoming pub. Dined with family inc children and our dog and it felt so relaxed with a great environment. Food was beautiful and all home made. The service was great. If I lived local this would be a regular place to eat. Everything they are doing is right, well done :)

We've lived in Wincanton for almost 24yrs and never been in this pub. We've definitely been missing out. Called in here last night and were greeted by a lovely young lady behind the bar, we had fab food...best burgers we ever had. Sat beside a proper log fire that was actually kept stoked. Will definitely visit again.

During our stay locally we decided to try The Nog Inn. Wow what a great little pub. We were lucky there was space we had the last table. Next time we will book. We sat by the log fire which was lovely and cosy. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food is outstanding, full of flavour and the pastry of the pie is so tasty. They also have a great selection of gins to try. We will visit again when we are next in the area.

My boyfriend and I were staying in an Airbnb in the area and decided to visit for food on a Sunday evening, great decision!! The pub was quiet but expected for a January Sunday evening, and so was easy to find an empty table. We both had the BBQ chicken burger which was huge, and SO tasty, the chips were great and all for a really reasonable price. Didn't get a good look at the bar but had a few pints of Old Rascal which was great. Staff were really nice and friendly. Highly recommended.

Visited the nog inn for evening dinner , managed to get a table due to a cancellation, next time will book a table in advance , the bar staff are very friendly , great selection of real ales , my wife had a gin , which they had a great selection, our table was next to the log burner , which was lovely , food was amazing , overall amazing cant fault it

We randomly picked this place to eat while on the way back home from the south west.

We visit Wincanton once or twice a year, and ALWAYS make time for a meal at The Nog. Their food is so delicious, with good portion sizes, and the staff are wonderfully helpful and friendly. I particularly recommend their pies, and their brownie is to die for!

We were in town to visit the Discworld Emporium and The Nog Inn was recommended to us while we were there. On the promise of "burgers as big as our heads" we wandered down the road to this cosy pub. With a name that wouldn't be out of place in a Discworld novel, the food was, however, far better than any I imagine could be found in Ankh-Morpork. We all opted for burgers and they exceeded our expectations. The Cajun Chicken burger, in particular, was simply amazing. Wonderful selection of ales and ciders too.

We ate here two nights in a row whilst visiting the area, the food was that good. Good selection of beer and a traditional(ish) pub menu. All the dishes we had were excellent but hat off to to the fish and chips may be the best i have ever had in a pub. Staff were excellent, helpfull and friendly. If you are in the area, do yourself a favour and drop in.

Best hand pressed / gourmet burger in the area.
