The Pheasant Inn & Restaurant in Mendip

Visited here on a Sunday with a friend asked for a table for a roast was told yeah we got tables but we’ve ran out of food. Bit odd as they had just opened and lots of people were sat eating a roast also seen food being brought out to tables. Can only assume we weren’t dressed correctly, who knows shame as looked very pleasant place to eat.

Amazing owners and so sad they are leaving

A lovely pub with a brilliant Landlords and a good chef. All the staff give customers a warm welcome and are friendly and informative. They have a traditional small menu but the steak pie and lasagne were plentiful and tasty.

100% Recommend visiting the Pheasant! We recently hired the function room for my Daughters Christening ceremony. Great communication for the event from the staff,We had a fantastic buffet, The staff are so friendly and are willing to go the extra mile.

Lovely pub, very friendly atmosphere and it sells Butcombe! Food ok.

Stopped by for some food as we were camping up the road. The food was absolutely delicious we had the lasagne, ploughman’s and a steak with blue cheese sauce which was extremely delicious! Compliments to the chef!! It was really nice to be in a pub and feel welcome and the staff actually have a conversation with you. Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu. Thankyou for the great experience.

Had the best night here! Such a great atmosphere - we’ll definitely be back!

Just on holiday for a few days at Pine Tree Farm at Wookey. Pitched our camp and we thought as we passed a pub called the Pheasant just along the lane we take a chance and book a table for some food. Well we were not disappointed, four adults and three almost adult kids are stuffed to the gunnels. The landlord and his staff were so friendly, accommodating and so happy to make sure that we had everything we're needed and nothing was to much trouble. By the way the food was delicious, pipping hot with huge portions for those with a large appetite. We're for a few more days so we will definitely be revisiting before we leave the area.👏👏 Well done to all the team and a big thank you from us all .

A very old and cozy pub with a large beer garden. Great food - highly recommended. Gladly again.

This was our first visit to The Pheasant Inn under its new landlords who we understand took over in April 2024. It was a very busy Friday night - school holidays, excellent live music provided by Alex Gibson and a sunny evening so the garden was busy. It felt like a proper English pub and although there were problems with delays to food it was all dealt with good humour and everyone appeared to be having a great time. We had the Hawaiian Pizza and Fish & Chips, both were served piping hot and were tasty (rather good chips.) We're looking forward to our next visit and hope the new landlords can make a success of their venture.

Lovely afternoon out. Great food. Lovely friendly staff. Super garden. Dog friendly. Skittle Alley. Piano.

Turkey was absolutely delicious one of the best roasts in the area.

Sunday 4th August Had two roast beef dinners. Sevice was good food was awful. Vag was cold roast potatoes were hard and the meat was so tuff you could not cut it. We both wasted it and went to pay bill and leave. Was asked how it was, We told the truth and was not charged for meal or two drinks. We left. Would not recomend. These people have just reopened the pub.

Was a pleasure to meet James the publican made us feel extremely welcome, visit this pub if you are in the area, you will not be disappointed. Karen & John Essex

Welcomed by the lovely landlord Jamie. Just popped in on the off chance they were still serving food. Very accommodating, friendly, warm and enjoyed the music. Pleasant surprise. A lovely place to be

A lovely warm welcome, excellent ploughman’s sharing platter which was very generous and great local produce. Well kept cask ale which promoted a 2nd pint. Dog friendly and definitely worth a visit.

On a recent trip back from Longleat Safari Park to Burnham-on-Sea with two hungry children in tow, we decided to stop at The Pheasant. This turned out to be a great choice. My wife and I opted for the Chicken Masala curry, and it did not disappoint. Our children enjoyed the classic Sausage, mash, and peas. The sausages were well-cooked, the mash was creamy, and the peas were fresh and sweet – a simple but satisfying meal that left them happy and full. Overall, The Pheasant provided a delightful dining experience with excellent food and hospitable service. It's well worth a visit if you're in the area.

A very pretty little pub. I think it has recently changed hands. We were the only people in the pub and there was a TV with football playing by the bar. No music playing throughout the rest of the pub so really no atmosphere at all. The chap behind the bar was pleasant enough but seemed a little shy and awkward. Bless. Nice enough garden but could certainly be made prettier. Sadly I wouldn't rush back at the moment.

No kitchen at the moment but a lovely homely pub with a huge beer garden,plenty of parking and ace staff. Nice beer selection and a scrumpy to die for.

Lovely place, great burgers. Prices are good and the landlady is fabulous 👍

We popped in for dinner as another nearby pub was fully booked and glad we did. Although the chef was poorly and they were limited to pizzas and burgers, we thought the food was fabulous. More importantly, the greeting we got from the new hosts was spot on. A very friendly pub with great food and quality choice of beer. We will definitely return.

It's changed a lot since the website was set up. Very basic menu - just burgers and pizzas. Garden area very pleasant but a bit run down with at least one broken table. Very pleasant and helpful young man serving food and drinks and we were welcomed to stay over night in our campervan. Overall very good but very different from what we expected.

Nice and cozy pub with very good food and extremely friendly owners - we can definitely recommend

I arranged to meet friends at this venue,unbeknown to me the Pheasant was undergoing refurbishment and they where only doing limited food.therfore I had to rearrange the meeting..........it looks as if the pheasant will be a good place to eat in the future

Didn’t have any food today but had some drinks with my boyfriend and we had the best time chatting to the landlord and landlady! Great atmosphere, so welcoming, left feeling so happy, couldn’t recommend them enough!

Recently taken on by new landlord & landlady, so there was limited menu of burgers only, but we were told that before we arrived so no issues there. The landlord & landlady were so friendly & welcoming, the pub feels cosy, not a horrible, sterile plastic pub. Food was tasty, nice selection of drinks, even opened the gate so we could access the top carpark easier in our camper van (which is flatter). Wishing the owners every success in the future.

Really nice friendly pub with parking. Dog friendly which is a bonus! Beer garden is a good size. Burgers are really tasty! Good luck guys!

Good food and friendly service.

Went to this lovely country pub for a group lunch as we were meeting friends from the local area. Had a gorgeous lunch and it was very reasonably priced. Hosts were lovely people and couldn't do enough for us.

Great varied menu choices, value for money and good Customer service. Will return for sure. (Hunters chicken and home made pie).

Lovely pub, took the whole family including the grandchildren. Had excellent meals and drinks. We were made very welcome - thank you!

A great welcoming pub, stopped over with our campervan. Lovely food. Our little dogs enjoyed the steak. Highly recommend.

Food was a good price and size! Helpful and friendly landlord.

Nice pub. Dog friendly. Food was good. Good menu choices including steak and chicken. They played David Bowie which always gets my thumbs up We stayed overnight in the carpark in our motorhome. The landlord couldn't have been any nicer! We will be back

Been at The Pheasant for dinner few days ago. Nice place, good food, and good music !! (The french family)

I didn't have any food, but nice to find a traditional country pub!

We did a pub stop over here. They were busy but still had service with a smile, great food and some local knowledge to help us with decision making for our trip. Definitely worth a visit 👍

Great pub. Great landlord. They do good food and it should be packed more as easy to walk to and sit in the sun

The food was of really poor standard. Lasagne was dry and tasted only if garlic. Deep fried Brie overcooked and dry. Even the salad was dry! When I told the landlord that the food wasn’t good he just said he would speak to the chef. No apology and no offer to try to put things right. We paid full price and left. We are unlikely ever to be in the area again but would definitely NOT recommend

Food was very good. Landlord friendly. Would go again. We have Britstops membership so we're able to stay overnight in our motorhome in the upper car park.

The Best Quality Ploughmans I've had in years. First class Ham, cheese, pork pie, with all the trimmings, the beef pie was excellent, you can't beat this one, Lovely Pub, well kept ales. Tasty ice cream too.

Nice pub , good pint and really good pie and mash . Surprisingly quiet for such a nice place . Prices pub level and lovely little beer garden to have a top up before the short walk back to the B&B

Fantastic Sunday roast with all the trimmings , beautifully cooked with all the trimmings. The hot chocolate fudge cake with cream was the best I’ve ever tasted. Exceptionally welcoming and friendly . Thank you very much

Brilliant welcoming traditional pub, with really good food, good beer. Thanks

Nom Nom Pizza were asked to cater for a wedding here. Great outside space to cook and serve from, with warm and friendly staff making room for people to also eat inside. Superb evening.

Emma and John are the hosts here John works front of house Emma has the role of Chef.They compliment each other both are very good and your always guaranteed a great drink and an excellent 👌 meal .The Pheasant is well worth a visit so you can make up your mind give them a try you will not be disappointed

Went for a mother's day Sunday lunch. There were 17 of us and I can't find a fault In any thing. Right from the warm welcome to the service the quality of the food. It was absolutely amazing and couldn't recommend it enough. If your looking for a lovely traditional pub with traditional home cooked food then try it for yourself

Great food and atmosphere , stayed at the Worth House hotel & came here for evening meal - food was tasty with good portions, + lovely glass of red tomwash it down 👍

Welcoming pub with lovely food and ales, and log burner on cold days! Landlord and staff very welcoming.

Lovely food and friendly people cheap prices

Lovely food, friendly staff and nice relaxed atmosphere. Perfect.

I went to the Pheasant for Sunday lunch with my wife and 2 other couples. This was our delayed Xmas outing due to illness. As it happened one of our party was ill so it was five go mad in Wookey. Coincidentally it was my wife's birthday so I ordered a bottle of bubbly which unfortunately was out of stock . No problem , the landlord John had a bottle of his own which he kindly let us have. The lunch was superb. Roast beef or pork and one of our party had the veggie option. Plenty of veg on the plate with cauliflower cheese on the side and of course gravy. Oh and Yorkshire pudding. Desserts were yummy as was the coffee. They even plated up a meal to take home for our sick friend. Thanks John and Emma , we'll be back.

Visited for the first time, this lunchtime, it certainly won’t be the last. We arrived at opening time so it was quiet and the landlord was really friendly and chatted to us for a while. Hubs had the beef pie with mash and peas (also a chip choice) and said it was amazing. I wasn’t really hungry so had cheesy chips which were really good and I unexpectedly cleared the bowl. I had a good clean pint of Birra Moretti and hubs had Thatchers Rascal so a good choice of our favourite drinks. We’ll definitely be back, it’s so important to support local pubs

Amazing food and great, friendly service. Recommend trying the red white and blue cheese sauce- beautiful!

Very pleased we found The Pheasant at Wookey it was exactly what we were after. There had been a misunderstanding about the booking but that was no problem and though it was clearly popular with a lot of bookings it was all swiftly sorted out and we had a lovely meal in a great pub. The icing on the cake was the landlord bringing out a fudge cake with a candle and singing Happy Birthday as he delivered it. Fantastic place. Highly recommended.

Great food, friendly staff and great beer, what more could you ask for? Thanks

Aberdeen Angus burger was the best my husband has ever had! Specials Board of sage, pork and black pepper sausages with mustard mash.....I couldn't finish it! Basically 6pints of Moretti, two mains, a bottle of wine and two coffees under £80. Bargain and tasty

I would highly recommend the Pheasant in Wookey in Somerset. This is a lovely family pub that we have been to several times over the last couple of years since John and Emma took it over. So I knew that they would take care of us today. The food was exceptional, it really was. Based around a traditional ploughman's lunch and my goodness it didn't disappoint. Plentiful, very good quality and lots of it. Everyone was very complimentary. Look forward to visiting again in better circumstances

Great pub great food well worth a visit

Good local pub, very typical of how an English pub should be. Lots of local people and space for visitors to eat. I had the 8oz Angus burger which was very good. The mince meat used was high quality and it seemed like they were using quality produce. For dessert I had the Bakewell tart and custard. It was pleasant but not to the level of the main courses. I noticed other peoples food, especially the T-Bone steak and it all looked very good value. For a simple no nonsense pub food, this is a good place to eat. Prices were very reasonable and I would recommend.

You won’t be disappointed. Cater for coeliacs, lovely food, hosts & pub. You can also stay for free in camper vans if eating at the pub. On the doorstep to the famous wookey hole caves & Wells.

What a lovely local pub. We are in Somerset on holiday and this was a recommendation. We are so glad that we decided to go here for a Sunday roast. We thoroughly enjoyed the very generous, well cooked and really tasty food. The desserts were also great. Thank you your for warm welcome and attentiveness. You have created a lovely atmosphere and if we return to the area would certainly return. Keep up the good work.

Good service and good homemade food.

We visited a number of times with the ponies in the summer for half a rascal and chips (ponies loved them). Always made to feel welcome and it was never a problem having the ponies in the car park. Luckily they didn’t leave any presents behind! Will defo be back again at some stage. Lovely place, lovely people and great pub! Amy & Cara the pony x

Love our local. Friendly, lovely garden, skittles alley, darts and extensive lunch and dinner menu 🤗😋😋

Lovely staff excellent food very welcoming. They went out of there way to get my husband who’s a fussy eater what he wanted.

I visited here with my 2 children for dinner. Whilst I have no issues with the food, which was nice, I felt very uncomfortable, like a burden when asking for dessert, my children were told in a very cold tone, "they are on the wall"....

Lovely service and beautifully cooked food at very reasonable price

Lovely roast dinner, best we've had in a while, and dessert was brilliant as well. Keep up the great work 👍

Popped in the pheasant whilst away for a few days,,nice atmosphere and staff,,our meal was delicious thanks guys

Bit on the dear side for an average meal and a few drinks

Great sunday roast, dog allowed in restaurant, good ale, what more could you want..

Had a great pie, mash and peas, busy but not over crowded, would recommend.

Homely pub with good, wholesome food. Friendly staff offer great hospitality and the beer was good as well!

Lovely atmosphere, great food would recommend this place

Great country pub, lovely managers.

Good atmosphere, good selection of food and drink. Well priced (Sept '22)

Lovely historic building. Had a fantastic meal, food is excellent & great choice on the menu. Very friendly welcome. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed a lovely Roast beef Sunday lunch today. Well worth the money. Cooked just to how I like it with plenty of different vegetables. Staff were very friendly & nothing was too much trouble for them. Will definitely go again 😋

Beatiful food better menu then the Victoria inn in priddy and much better then the ring o bells absolutely scenery in the pub when the drinks are out!!

Lunch menu limited owing to menu changing.

We've been staying at Wookey Hole as a family of 4 with 2 young children. We went to The Pheasant for dinner during the stay on a whim as the place we originally were heading to was terrible to park at, and so glad we...

Great food and service. Beer wasn't bad either.

We had dinner here while staying in a nearby B&B who booked a table for us - gorgeous traditional English pub - food was tasty, good portions , and freshly cooked.

We stumbled on this pub when looking for a lunch stop and we were not disappointed. Very good location with beautiful views of the Mendip hills from the beer garden. We chose a Ploughman’s Lunch as it was a very hot day. It was delicious....

Lovely pub in a great location with great views of the Mendips and surrounding area. Delicious traditional and excellent quality food (We chose a ploughman's lunch) which came at a good price and friendly service. Would thoroughly recommend

We stayed here on our way down to Devon and Cornwall, super friendly staff and very reasonable prices for first class food/drink. Motorhome and stupid dog friendly too!! Thanks John.

called here for some lunch on holiday, very pleasant pub with a decent menu, would call again no problem, good place to stop over in a motorhome too

Passed here a couple of weeks back and thought it would be worth a visit. Not disappointed. Really superb ploughmans lunch. Must get back soon to try something else from the menu.

Great service and delicious pub grub. We just need some cushions to have made our evening more comfortable whilst enjoying the very pretty garden. Thank you

Lovely food .reasonable prices..Nice atmosphere..landlord good sense of humour...great place

Wonderful place. Food portions were very generous and delicious. Highly recommended
