The Nut Tree in North Somerset

This venue was recommended for post funeral re-freshment. Many folks travelled over 100 miles to attend my late Mothers funeral. Unfortunately extreme disappointment Food just placed on table - no introduction or welcome from staff. Part of buffet menu didn’t arrive at all Quality of food appalling.. everything beige., not even a bit of cress to dress plate Fish & cheese served on same platter Gluten free option .. looked like sandwiches in a builders lunch box Pastries looked like Costco’s rejects Crudités.. soggy old pepper around a nondescript dip? Flavour??? Shift management disinterested “ we are busy” then you shouldn’t take on more bookings!! Charged £12 per head .. could have had double the amount and quality if they had just popped to Sainsbury’s and bought some Lunch Meal deals So message is ..if it’s an important event for people you care about avoid the Nut Tree in Worle.

Attended a so-called buffet following my mother-in-laws funeral. Absolutely dreadful! Terrible food, presented badly by disinterested surly staff. I could not possibly recommend this establishment- best avoided. Overcharging for drinks. Bad attitude of bar staff in a dull and boring environment. Do yourself a favour and drive past!

Went here for a ladies lunch for Christmas. I had the double burger,thinking it would be cooked fresh. I was so wrong,the burgers were dry and charred,I think they had been cooked before. I paid £17.95 for these charred offerings,won’t be eating there again. Please get your act together as we don’t want to spend our hard earned money on this rubbish.😡😡😡😡

Lovely welcome, good service and the food was brilliant. Can't wait to go back and try more of the dishes we didn't have :-)

We came here on the recommendation of our host, one of the locals, who had suggestions of dog-friendly places in the area for dinner. It was so very good that we came here twice in a week! In our first visit, it was easy for us to reserve a table in the bar area via the phone. When we arrived, we were seated in a good corner with our 2 dogs. It was very spacious, and it did not feel like we were being squashed into a corner. The patrons were lovely and friendly to our dogs too. The staff were lovely with our dogs and provided water for them right at the start. Service was quick for our drinks, which came almost instantly after we had ordered. For starters, we had ordered the 3 plates for £15 – chicken gyoza, duck rolls and antipasti, which was delicious. For mains, I had the prawn and chicken chorizo linguini, while my husband had the chicken burger, both of which were sumptuous and filling! It was so good that we returned here a few nights later – we had 3 plates again for starters to share between 2 of us – this time, crispy chilli chicken, duck rolls and antipasti. Just as good, not too oily or full of batter, enough sauce. For the mains, I had 2 starters instead as a main, which was the fishcakes and satay chicken, while my husband had the beef burger. All 3 dishes were fantastic, tasty, filling, and oh-so-good! I even asked for a plate of chopped chillies, and they provided it nice and fresh! One thing would have been nice would be a section on salads. We ordered the seasonal veg as an alternative instead, as we felt that there was not much veg in all the dishes we ordered! The seasonal veg adequate – boiled/steamed beans, broccoli, carrots and parsnips – probably leave off the parsnips next time! We felt that it would be good to have a salad or something leafy on the menu, for customers who may want something lighter! All in all, it was a great experience for us twice, and we would happily come back here again the next time we are in the area.

Disappointing. The place is pretty dark with mud brown and dark green walls. Staff were polite, but the food was mixed. Fish and chips great, lasagne was dry and tasteless. Faggots were solid and tasteless and a side of chunky fries were £4.50 for a small cup. The burger was pretty non-descript so all in all a really disappointing meal.

Great experience. Fabulous service and great food. I think the nut tree is really good value for money, it’s a definite cut above the chain restaurants nearby and it’s nice to have the choice. I went alcohol free a few years ago and I really appreciate good alcohol free choices. I had a seedlip and tonic but they also had a couple of alcohol free beers and a cider.

Brilliant food here tonight! Lovely fish and chips and cheesecake for pudding 😋 recommended 100% Scotch egg was absolutely lush!!

Take no notice of the one star for food. I haven't eaten here. Menu looks damn good however. Nice, cozy, clean. Comfortable. Garden looks pretty decent to. Good selection of drinks. Can't go wrong.

5 of us went here for an evening meal... The menu looked lovely its change since the last time i was here.. I chose chicken souvlaki with greek salad flatbread and tzatziki and oh my god it was massive!!! A huge pot of the tzatziki and loads of chicken on skewers..couldnt eat it all.. Friends meals were just as huge and we all had desserts.. Staff were great and it was a lovely place to meet friends for dinner...

Booked in for 10 people on Saturday evening.Food was excellent well cooked and very well presented . Would recommend it highly.

Went on Friday no food service on evening, quite a nice environment staff okay prices comparable, clean toilets

Lovely place, lovely food, lovely staff! Worth every penny!

This is a lovely pub with friendly staff, good food and a good atmosphere. Myself and Dad had fish of the day which was beautifully cooked. We regularly go once a week and beside my village pub in Bleadon its one of the best I've been to.

No atmosphere, food above average, too pricey in my opinion.

Had a filet steak absolutely wonderful my friend not so impressed they gave her the money back 31£ bit I took it back and insisted they keep the money which they did they asked her not to go again but they didn't know she was a chef and just expressing her opinion

One of my locals and the food is usually lovely, but today it was awful! The belly pork was overcooked and the sour-dough bread burned to the point that no amount of butter was going to make it edible. Cost £14 including a soft drink, but I couldn't really eat the food, so a complete waste of money. Not sure if they have new chefs, because it's always been nice food before. Unfortunately I won't eat there again now.

Great friendly helpful staff. Dog friendly. Meal very good , slightly more expensive but good cuts of meat & well cooked. Really enjoyed it.

Well that was one the worst meals had at the Nut Tree, beef was so tough to eat Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes hard to cut what a shame

We had my father-in-laws wake last Thursday. The staff were lovely and the food great. Real value for money and very friendly service

Just left the pub, would have stayed longer but for the expletive laden customers sat at the bar. Other customers appeared to leave early for the same reason. Be aware, not all customers want to 'enjoy' an evening with foul language sat at the bar.

Great night except for the steak food mixup

My wife and I booked a table for a mid week treat. So glad we did. We were made very welcome by the pleasant staff and whilst the place was busy, there was a lovely atmosphere. My wife had her usual burger, always seems to choose this wherever we go! I had the Chicken Souvlaki. Now she really enjoyed her burger but my Souvlaki was off the scale brilliant. Fresh salad, very tasty feta and well cooked and seasoned chicken. Along with fries this was a substantial meal indeed. We both had a dessert, well it was a treat night, one lemon tart and a biscoff cheesecake. Both absolutely delicious if a little on the smaller side. Including a couple of drinks each the bill came to £69.00. Just a word to the wise, you can’t add a tip to your bill if paying by card, it has to be cash. We need to return soon and correct that having no cash on us tonight. We will sort it next time, I promise, as the staff definitely deserve it. The bar area is dog friendly and our three pups loved the attention from everyone. Thanks to all at The Nut Tree. We’ll be back very soon, with cash!!!

Earlier in the year the Sunday roasts were amazing. Went there this Sunday and was very disappointed. Roast potatoes were pale and very hard. Meat was fatty. Vegetables were not good. Everything was tasteless. Such a shame as it used to be amazing 😔

Really great dog friendly pub with good food, will go again

Stopped by here on recommendation and the food was absolutely delicious and the menu offerings were varied; a nice selection of choices. I had the chicken souvlaki and it did not disappoint. Highly recommended

Went there for Sunday lunch. At 14.30 they had already sold out of chicken and pork. Ordered beef and waited over an hour for the food to arrive beef was rare and some slices looked raw. Even ordering drinks involved a 15 minute wait. Staff are young and apologised for the wait. Best part was dessert.

The service was good, the food we chose was nice and the location is good. The one criticism we have is that there is little choice for Vegans for Sunday lunch (some of our party including children are Vegan) and there does not seem to be a menu that can be seen online prior to visiting. If we had known that we may well have gone elsewhere so that all of our party were happy with their choices.

Triple cooked chips were potatoes done like wedges, and the colour of death

A wonderful big welcome as we entered the car park (literally, it's painted on the tarmac). Well kept, clean and tidy paths and outside area, which is gated and dog friendly. Treats for our pup were offered to us at the bar. We had a late lunch after a long day walking and enjoyed speedy, polite service of very tasty food. We ordered the panko chicken burger and a salad of prawns, crayfish, smoked salmon and avocado with a side of cheesy, garlic ciabatta. Very fresh and utterly divine. The real ales were good too 👍🏻

Attended a wake so difficult to comment much However, location, big car park, buffet food, venue and service was great. Will visit again.

Independent pub. Real ales. Great food. Buzzing atmosphere. Booking not always essential.

Travelling down to Cornwall, after a little research we found the nut tree to be our half way point so reserved a table. What an excellent choice! So accommodating towards are approximate arrival time, and greeted with a friendly welcome. Very clean and quick service all round. Food was delicious and a fair price. Recommend the panko chicken burger! Beautiful day, so we decided to sit the beer garden afterwards. Great atmosphere. Thanks guys, wonderful stop off for us!

Didn't eat here. But poppedvin fir a drink. Friendly staff, and was very busy as it was fathers day. Food looked good though.

Nice looking pub with ample parking and nice garden. Good choice on menu and at bar. Order food and drinks at bar. Food nice - very large portions - I couldn’t eat all of mine.

Had a table for two nice atmosphere friendly staff very helpful brought me out a pair of scissors to open my mayo,much easier!!!! Lovely food nice sunny day so finished off outside perfect.

I am sorry to say that my daughter booked a table for Father’s Day so disappointed with the service and the food. Did not know what table to sit on and when we eventually ordered three roast beef dinners when it arrived the beef was so tough you could not cut thru it. We were left with vegetable and gravy getting cold while they changed our order to pork. So sad to have to say this as our previous visits for food have been very good. You need to get your act together.

Enjoyed a drink on a sunny afternoon in the beer garden

Great selection of food. Somewhat different to the run of the mill chain pubs!

Very nice pub, tucked out of the way in Worle. The food and service were great and it wasn't too busy. We rang in advance to make sure they could accommodate, the seven of us plus our dog, as we visited on a Sunday lunchtime. Sunday menu is reduced as they do roast, but that was lovely. Would definitely recommend.

I was invited to celebrate a friend's birthday at a Saturday lunchtime. The food and drinks menu offers a very broad choice for all tastes that is matched by superb cooking and attentive service. The interior and beer garden are welcoming places to enjoy the hospitality of the Nut Tree. I have no hesitation in recommending this place to all.

Our second visit to the Nut Tree for Sunday lunch. The first time was okay so we'd thought we'd give it another go. Unfortunately we won't be going back for a 3rd visit. The meal was tasteless with hard potatoes, which we had to ask for more initially as they only gave us a small bowl between 4, shouldn't have bothered. The chips weren't good either, with the smallest portion of peas ...... and don't be sucked in by the thought of pigs in blankets - you get 3 small ones for £4 something, cant remember exactly the cost. The young lad who took our drinks order was lovely and so was the girl who cleared our plates, so a shout out to them but that's as good as it gets. Save your money cook it yourself for a lot cheaper and I bet you'll enjoy it more!

Very clean bar and restaurant garden is a nice place to sit .staff are friendly. Dog friendly. Peas were cold and hard however the fish was lovely

Great pub that's dog friendly and only a few minutes off the M5! Met a friend half way so decided on this place for convenience that allowed dogs. Was a lovely pub with some really good food and drink. Will definitely be back!

Dog poo on the way in and rear patio needs to be sorted (looked old). Rest was ok/good. Great service. Lovely food.

I’m not one to complain but my food and my girlfriends food was awful. the chicken burger was in a hard cheap bun and the chicken was clearly frozen and there was no sauce on it. Nothing like it said on the menu and it was £17. Ridiculous

Great atmosphere. Well looked after ales. Don't come in if you're allergic to dogs though.

Funeral wake 23 rd April 24. Food was of exceptional quality and more than enough for everyone. Staff were fantastic. A very sad day for us but lightened by a great get together with friends and family. Thanks to all at The Nut Tree. Very We’ll done! Chris Graham.

We have been regulars at the Nut Tree for a few years now. We have moved from a stones throw away to a 45 min walk. This walk is worth it though! This wonderful pub is welcoming, serves a great selections of drinks, the staff are friendly and attentive. There is always a lovely atmosphere. The food, OMG the food. Fresh, home made AMAZINING. if ever you get a chance to do the 'tasting menu' nights do it! The kids love the outside area also.

This is a very nice restaurant. Nice for a pint in the garden when it's sunny too.

Food was a standard pub fare - fairly decent except for nuked lasagne and garlic bread. Service was seemingly friendly but missed 2 orders which food arriving halfway through others meals. No apology given - these things happen but it might be an idea to train younger staff in customer service

I came here with family and friends being told this was the place to go for a Sunday lunch and it was horrible non of the staff came over and asked how the food was one of the chicken dinner was pink In the middle the rost potatoes was hard as any think staff was not very friendly and when I went and paid the bill of almost £200 and he asksd how was it and i told him it was horrible all he said was oh ok no apology or I get the manager definitely not worth the money it was My first and last going to the nut tree Inn

Good food, pleasant atmosphere and friendly service.

Mother’s Day lunch with my daughter and granddaughters. A beautifully cooked roast dinner with plenty of roast beef and vegetables. Plenty of parking. My only complaint, and it is just a small one, is we had a bit of a wait for food and desserts but they were obviously very busy. The staff were very pleasant and I would certainly go again.

Friendly staff lovely meal throughly recommend

Booked for 5 couples 1 couple could not make it as they were snowed in so they retained the 10 deposit for those two people. Considering how much we spent this just felt like a greedy move to me so I will not be going again. As an addition the staff were very friendly but service slow. Took 4 hours for 2 courses, cutlery arrived after food, no table check, they forgot to come back for desert order and we bought most of the drinks at the bar off bill because no table service. Gave the benefit of the doubt as first time issue asked for someone to call me on the topic however did not go well so feel obliged to right the review. Such a shame.

Amazing food. Will definitely return

We popped in for a quick drink, car park was brilliant…..spacious and easy access to the pub. On approaching the bar we queued behind two people who were booking the venue for a future event. It obviously was taking some time but the bar person didn’t bother to ask the other member of staff who ( we didn’t realise was free) was standing around the corner staring into space, to help us!! We eventually walked around the corner and found the member of staff and gave her our drinks order. She looked confused then said she’d get the other member of staff to make them and she would bring them over. Fair enough, we paid and sat down to wait. We watched our drinks being made and were put on the bar next to a customer who was now being served. The staff member who had served us walked past the drinks a few times while she picked up an empty glass from a table then disappeared. The customer at the bar then offered to bring our drinks over…….we obviously got up and retrieved them ourselves but with no apologies from any staff member!! All very strange and although we did laugh I don’t think we will visit again as it took forever just to get one drink in a very empty pub!!

Sadly went to a wake, but the food was good, service very slow at the bar , not enough staff.

Excellent food and service like always . The wife is Gluten free and they have a excellent main menu and desserts for gluten free . But only let down is no gf starters . That's why we didn't give 5stars .

Food and wine is amazing and love the atmosphere

Great food, comfortable pub, nice staff and dog friendly.

Very busy but staff were polite and helpful, I only had a coffee but my friends had food and they enjoyed it and said it was nice...

Popped in on the off chance, not been here for years. Really helpful, friendly staff. Food was excellent will definitely be back.

Came her again Tuesday evening with friends for a main meal and catch up. I've been coming here for years, every few months or so. This occasion, what has happened? Menu is larger ( not a good sign). The prices are higher than average for a pub, but I don't mind as food is usually good. I ordered the Moroccan tagine. Sadly, whilst it looked good it was pretty tasteless, my friend had a burger which she thought was ok, but my other friends lasagne was also not as good as I have come to expect from this establishment. The staff were friendly and attentive, although I was given ice in my drink when I asked not to have any. Pubs are pubs, and restaurants are restaurants. However, the nut tree had built a reputation of restaurant food in a pub. It seems this is now starting to slip, I feel. I will return, but if the demise in the food standard continues, I will need to rethink.

My band have played here on NYE 2 years running now... Great pub!!! 👍🙂👌

Amazing food, nice cozy atmosphere. We will definitely be going back, best steak and ale pie I’ve had in a very long time.

We came here for my father's 70th. The food was absolutely beautiful, both normal and gluten free. The children's food sizes were huge, so they didn't finish their's (just a heads up!). My only gripe would be that it was quite chilly where we were sat (round near the ladies toilet) as it was near the garden door, also. This door was being used as an exit for smokers and so was being used quite a bit and in this weather, the cold air coming in was not helping. A small heater probably would have helped.

A delightful place to meet family and friends for a meal or a drink. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and make recommendations on food to try. The homemade scotch eggs are delicious. Good selection of real ales on tap. Always better to book a table, especially at weekends as can be busy. The garden in the summer is lovely to relax in. Good selection of vegetarian and vegan meals. Easy level access through front door and level throughout.

I am usually happy eating at the Nut tree and the food is normally delicious but we normally have a Sunday roast . We went on the 27th of December and it was extremely busy and the staff were busy so some delays . I had pie of the day which was beef and Stilton and obviously home made but when it came out to myself and another table the top was burnt and the pastry was so hard it was inedible , as I was with family and their local I did not say anything but the local person I was with did but nothing got said much apart from the chef would be told but no info was relaid back to us . We ordered desserts but my cheese cake was broken and just plonked on a plate with no thought and ice cream was melting . Black Forest sundaes were ordered but they were diabolical in their presentation and plonked in a glass and there wasn’t much for £7.50 . Just one cherry 🍒 in a bottom and should have been flavoured with kirsh . It just looked like they had run out of proper glasses and something was thrown together and no wafer or presentation at all so very disappointing as it was a late family get together . I am not sure what else to say but not the standard it usually is so dint think we will be back . We should have taken photos but didn’t want to make a fuss and a free wine or something should have been offered especially with the beef and Stilton pie and should not have been sent out as very over cooked and burnt pastry . Think I will leave it there . I like to give good reviews

Beautiful food and atmosphere and staff were great !!

We have visited the Nut tree multiple times since we moved to Banwell, two visits in the summer one for drinks and small plates and another for lunch. We have since visited during the winter months and we couldn’t rave about the Nut tree enough. The menu is always fresh and changing, the chefs are fantastic and service is very fast yet not overbearing which we appreciate .What I’m most impressed by is how many gluten free options they have on the menu, I had so much choice , unlike a-lot of limited gf menus . Even the onion ring batter was gluten free ! Every meal has been delicious. We are excited to go back again - one thing that could be changed slightly was the only milk alternative was soy - which a lot are allergic too so that would have been a nice option for the hot drinks.

Met here for a friends birthday meal. Food fantastic with generous portions, highly recommend.

Soz forgot to take photo before we tucked into the sandwiches ( beef, egg, cheese salad) plus tea or coffee. all this was for 2 people! £15 per person or £20pp if u want glass a Prosecco too at the nut tree worle. All very fresh & lovely. Good friendly service too & sat next to a warm log fire.

Had a family bereavement and after the funeral we got together at the Nut Tree. Superb staff and food. Amazing! Everyone commented how wonderful it was in a beautiful setting. Perfect!

We booked for a family Christmas celebration ages between 7 and 75. You catered for us all, allowed the kids to have a kids size portion off the main menu. The vegetarian/vegan options were good. Nothing was too much trouble. The team were super helpful and friendly . The surrounding and atmosphere was lovely and festive. Definitely our favourite place to eat.

Not had food here yet. We often call in for a pint after band rehearsals. Great service.

Lovely food, lovely staff, thank you 👌👌

Had a lovely night. One minor glitch. The pudding was not as described in the menu..

Sunday lunches out can be convenient but bland. The Nut Tree offers much more than that, no soggy lukewarm veg and roasties here and the vegetarian bake was delicious. For the same price as other pubs and restaurants, I enjoyed an expertly prepared meal, well served, with an excellent range of craft ales and wines. Thank you Nut Tree!

Had a couple of very good St Austell Brewery beers sitting at the bar. Barmaid was very chatty and friendly. Nice modern pub. Saw a lot of people eating and food looked nice. They do bar snacks too like scotch eggs and pigs in blankets although quite expensive I thought. My only real gripe about this place is wey too many dogs being allowed in, very bad considering a lot of people were eating....hence 4 stars and not 5.

We visited the day after western carnival, we'd just finished camping so was a little scruffy and tired but was welcomed in with our dogs so no issues there. Waiting to be served and waiting for our means was painfully slow, well over an hour and half for our meals, I got the impression they were short staffed as there appeared to be only three staff to the whole packrd restaurant, the food was good, mine was the steak and ale pie a it was bit too salty, as a chef myself I'd recommend cutting out some of the salt, not easy with stock based dishes but it would of helped as it was overpowering the dish. My partner had a chicken dish which she loved. Staff were very friendly and helpful, a few minor issues to help improve things but all in not a bad experience at all.

Out of 5 of us, those who had fish and meat very happy. For those that had vegetarian, a different experience. It was very poor and I could not eat it. Neither the aubergine or sweet potato was adequately cooked. Neither of those are foods which taste food raw. I cannot remember ever having to send something back. I wasn’t very impressed by the response of the waitress to the food being inedible

Good variety of food. Great service.

Really nice pub/restaurant. Good food served piping hot in good time. Friendly service and reasonably priced. We will return

Lovely meal this evening, made to feel very welcome. The pub is really dog friendly.

Great pub, the food was excellent, the staff were very welcoming and it is very dog friendly. Great atmosphere and the food is reasonably price. Would recommend.

Lovely pub and lrt us stay in thris carpark for night and kept kitchen open so we could eat thankyou

Absolutely flabbergasted!! I am disgusted with how me and my friends were treated, Problem 1: Owner. What is with this guy? He is very defensive when it comes to critical feedback, Extremely rude. Seemed semi drunk. Problem 2: Food. What the flipping hell is this? I ordered a veggie burger and it had meat? Are you kidding? What if I was allergic to meat and bit into that. Like seriously? On top of that my friend who isn’t vegetarian said her burger was dry and flavourless. Just like the vibe of the whole place. Problem 3: I found a hair in my drink…. It was curly. Yuck. Please avoid this place at all costs!

Absolutely lovely pub. Just moved to the area and the nut tree is our new local. We have lucked out. Incredible food, great atmosphere, dog and family friendly, really well conditioned beers aaand the staff are absolutely fantastic. Drink prices are cheaper than the local Marston's in the area and much better quality. I honestly can't fault anything about it.

Always excellent service and friendly staff cannot fault this pub.

Really nice pub and well designed inside and out. Dogs allowed in a certain area and as I am having implants put in by a London clinic (Dentaprime....very professional 70%cheaper for implants..) so at the moment I am restricted as to what I can eat. But they have a great menu and the food we ordered was liked by all of us. Nice outside area for a drink or to eat when the weather gets better.... can hardly get worse!!! Well that's my review and I recommend this pub for everyone young,old or four legged🙃🥸

What a find. A lovely big bar, lots of room for our big dog. Great food, fast and very friendly service.

This was presented as 1 star Michelin restaurant. Not so. The dishes were creative and the service was great. But, It didn't reach my expectations as a Michelin starred restaurant. Really good but I was expecting great.

Stopped in for pints on a couple of occasions, and really enjoyed it. The food does look amazing and I'll definitely be coming back for dinner.

I've not been here to eat for a few year's & went with friends. Great service, friendly staff, good drinks selection & a nice seasonal menu. The food was tasty & you can take dogs if you sit in the bar area. Lovely place.

They tried to make me a vegetarian. I aint eating no vegetabeles

Lovely food as always. Took a little long to take order and several tables seen before us but friendly as always

Beware booking for food... Booked a table for 330pm for Sunday dinner, walked here from weston Milton and tried to ring ahead saying I would be 10 mins late, got there 15 mins late and stood waiting for service, then someone came out and told us the kitchen is closed now because we were 20 mins late...it was just under 15 and we was turned away. We was not informed that we were the last table we weren't told that the kitchen would shut soon or anything and they weren't willing to accommodate. Bought a coke as it was baking and it was a 1.5 mile walk there and 1.5 mile walk back, not great so won't be coming back.
