The Plough Inn in West Somerset

The roast dinner is the best roast I have ever had in my life and would highly recommend

Stopped in for a drink and bag of crisps. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Seemed to be a pretty good atmosphere for those having lunch in the sunny conservatory. We sat outside in the beer garden in the warm autumn sun. Overall, an enjoyable short visit.

Every single member of staff was so incredibly friendly and welcoming it was a real pleasure to eat here! We had the Sunday roast, which came as a sharing board and was such an enormous meal we ended up taking at least another meal’s worth home with us. Everything was perfectly cooked and even had real gravy. The old part of the pub was very charming and the conservatory light and airy. There wasn’t much choice of wines by the glass, but the one we had (a Jack Rabbit Shiraz) was very nice indeed and the prices of the food and drink were really good value ! All in all we had a really lovely lunchtime visit and I would fully recommend this pub - thank you to all staff!

We popped in for a roast dinner and we couldn't have been happier with the service and the fantastic roast we were served, huge portions, lovely food, great service, will definitely be back 😊

Lovely food, drink and the staff are brilliant

Fantastic friendly service, food was good, we had the Cheese Board and it was enormous! Busy on a Wednesday night in early October, with nice atmosphere.

This is a great little pub run by nice people

We had a lovely walk to this place, across a wooden bridge over a picturesque stream in the forest. Decent food & beer. Very dog friendly.

Amasing food and service. The Sunday share meal was fantastic

Friendly service, tasty food, great atmosphere...highly recommended.

This is a great pub with friendly staff, dog friendly and great food. The only reason why the food wasn't 5 stars is because they had run out of the lamb rump and sticky toffee pudding. 2 of my favourites! I would highly recommend this to whoever is in the area! 👍

Great little pub, very clean and warm welcome,

What a pleasant surprise! Holidaying in the area, we stumbled across the Plough after a morning spent walking in the Quantocks. After a warm welcome, we chose to sit outside as we had a dog with us. We both had a Ploughmans and a cider and it was very good indeed. There were blankets for us and a towel for the dog. It was very clean and obviously well run. Only four star for atmosphere as it was quiet. Good sized car park. Fabulous flamingo wallpaper in the ladies too! Thank you to the team at the Plough.

We have been going to the plough for years, treats, family get togethers and events and have always had nothing but great things to say. Unfortunately after our experience last night we will not be coming again. I understand there has been a changing of the guard so to speak but that is no excuse for the quality or service experienced. I have raved about their lasagna for years and and had friends and family comment months later after eating here but the food last night was half the size and yet more expensive, microwaved and seriously lacking in anything resembling flavour or quality. Salads were the kind you get with a jacket potato in a greasy spoon on an industrial estate and came with dressings despite asking for none. Each meal maybe had ten chips with it or three very poorly looking baked new potatoes. I have had better lasagnas out of the freezer and the cottage pie was without question microwaved and had no taste at all. My primary school in the 80s served better! My son asked for the chicken burger to be plain and the waiter even repeated this back to him and had to be corrected twice. The burger then arrived with cheese etc on it and was taken away to be corrected. Sadly when it returned two minutes later it still had the remnance of everything on it and had just been scraped off! Not great if this had been an allergy request rather than just preference. When it came to a pudding, the crumble came out and instantly filled the room full of the smell of bonfire, the top had been blow torched and was clearly an attempt to make a microwaved pudding look more appealing. Sadly without the sugar sprinkled on top this didn't caramelise and just burnt all the crumb. Another table even commented on the smell being like someone trying to light the fireplace. All in all, not great, drinks were slow also and two incorrect orders. They did remove the crumble from our bill which were grateful for and the familiar faces were doing the best they could given the tools they have to work with. Sorry to say we will not be returning after 10 years of great food and company. As locals we will be going elsewhere.

We had a lovely meal here. They seated 7 of us as a walk in and were so accommodating! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommended 😊

Dirty pub terrible food and where do I start with the bar staff, can't pour a drink (when you finally get served) maybe some training needed in social skills too! seems to have gone down hill fast avoid avoid avoid

Food was inedible. Service wasn’t great either. Had to get our own menus.

Lovely pub in a great setting and an idea base for walks into the base of the Quantocks. Good food and drinks, with very friendly staff.

Red wine was served in a dirty glass dripping from the bottom on to my white trousers. No apology from the waitress! They had run out of two dishes from the menu but we weren’t told until we ordered. They had also run out of Sauvignon blanc and merlot. The food arrived after about 35 minutes, it was good but the salt mill didn’t work and the manager (?) was rude when we paid. Atmosphere wasn’t great either. I think the new management has got some work to do.

Lovely staff, TERRIBLE food - don’t waste your money!!

Great meal here . Recommend the Lamb rump . Although I would have liked more potatoes with it

Had to bring food for 11 people, but food on time and was brilliant.

Outstanding food and service. Very dog friendly. My pooch loved the doggie menu especially the liver cake 🐾

Sunny afternoon in the sun with one of the best ploughman's I have had will visit again with my wife

Past this pub on many occasions. It’s worth a stop. Friendly good parking and a good selection on menu. The Ham egg and chips was fantastic. Good size portion and Golden eggs and thick ham and chunky chips. 10/10 👍👍

I almost died of hunger and was not served. Lack of concern for customers.

They kindly let us do a pub stop over in our motorhome as we got stuck finding a campsite. What a treat! The food was amazing! Definitely will return.

Not been in for a while, but very good.

Dropped in on speck 3 Adults 1 child & small dog what a welcome great food even dog had a doggy menu staff great

We called in yesterday evening on the off chance 3 Adults 1 child & Dog we were made so welcome even though it was busy great menus fantastic staff Food all cooked fresh would definitely recommend the Fish & Chips plus’s crumble / custard. Thank you all.

Amazing! Great food, great staff and if our dog could give a review she'd give it ten stars. She was thoroughly spoilt. The garlic bread was to die for. What a great find. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. One of the best garlic breads I've ever had. Plenty of space to park and incredibly dog friendly; they even have a doggy menu! Would absolutely recommend them.

We went here for dinner last night as it was nice and close to our airbnb and had great reviews. We booked for a family of four and our dog but decided to leave him at home to sleep at the last minute as he was shattered, which was a shame as when we arrived they had a doggy menu and treats waiting for him! We were sat in the bar area and - being totally honest - I wondered if the food would live up to the reviews. It did! We had chilli which was absolutely delicious and came with homemade guacamole (big tick), a holford high rise burger which was HUGE and very nice, kids burger and the staff were very accommodating in doing a child’s size portion of ham egg and chips for my fussy 7 year old. Very relaxed and unpretentious, proper home cooked food. We had a dessert and took some homemade liver cake treats home from the doggy menu for our pup.

We were in the area for a wedding and this place was absolutely superb! Turned up on a Sunday evening and we managed to order food which, to say the least, was absolutely fantastic. Great portions and all homemade. Magic. Price wise very reasonable, with fantastic friendly local staff and a jolly good local atmosphere. Ample parking and great facilities. Thank you all for a great time, we will 100% be back!

We had the loveliest meal there. We had travelled from Birmingham and when we arrived they only had 15 mins left until the kitchen closes but still let us order. The food was amazing, and the staff were so nice. Would definitely recommend!

OMG ordered lamb kebab. You needed a chainsaw to cut it. Sent it back and it was over 20 mins of waiting before I asked how long it was going to be. Chef kept peering through the kitchen door at me. So I said don't bother cooking me another thank you. She cooked 3 meals before recooking mine. I won't be going there again. If I could of given minus stars I would have.

Great find this pub. Dropped in on a Monday evening, we had a great meal and couple of beers. Although surprisingly for a Monday the pub was quite busy, the service was really prompt and friendly.

Didn't eat at the Plough, but had an emergency stop at the bathroom. It was pristine! The ladies' was cutely titled "Plough Girls" and the men "PloughMen". 😁 There was enough parking too, even on the bank holiday.

Great lunch after walk down Holford valley with my humans Dog treats water bowls and snacks. Oh the human food was by all accounts excellent as well. Met new dogs.

Great pub location and nice atmosphere, although food was very expensive, I had a Stilton burger which cost just shy of 15 pounds with a meagre handful of chips. Was very nice food but at that price I think it should be covered in gold leaf to be honest. Staff were fairly friendly and was quiet at time of dining.

Fantastic fish an chips, great company, and very attentive service.

Another fabulous Sunday lunch, never disappoints. The cauliflower cheese is the best! Huge Yorkshire pudding, & pigs in blankets included. Great ambiance & warm efficient staff. We will be back!

Four of us had great meals here.

Very friendly staff , nothing was too much trouble . The food was great as always .

From the booking of the table for our Sunday lunch, the ambiance of the inn, the efficiency and friendliness of the staff through to the quality of the fantastic food we cannot faulty any part of our visit to the plough, infact we enjoyed it so much we will be back soon and would recommend to all our friends and family

Lovely atmosphere, excellent pub food and attentive staff, despite it being busy. The burgers were especially tasty. We will definitely visit again.

Popped in for lunch and a pint after a nice walk on the Quantocks. There was a warm welcome as soon as we walked in. The staff even brought over a bowl of water & a treat for the dog. I had Belly Pork, potatoes and red cabbage. My partner had Sea Bass, potatoes and green beans. Both meals were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be visiting the Plough Inn again on our next walk.

What a great place. 5 🌟 all round.we will definitely be going back when going to Kilve. What a great find. Lovely place great atmosphere 👌

Pleasant spot in an historic inn on the edge of the Quantock Hills. Lovely food and good service. Dog friendly with chatty helpful staff. Good beer and cider. Looking forward to our next lunch visit.😁😁👍

After a long walk The Plough was a great find. They staff and service were excellent. The food was great, the place was spotlessly clean and they even had water a blanket and menu for the dog. (Who was very happy to be there) We will be going back.

Great traditional pub, the management and staff are very friendly, helpful and made us feel really welcome, we always enjoy our time at the Plough. They are very Dog friendly as well, even giving them treats.

Very friendly and accommodating to our baby's needs (6 months old)

We were staying in a local Shepherds Hut and found this place. The food wasn't amazing but was perfectly OK so I'd always give a 4. Very friendly staff and a nice location. The locals are always so lovely even to visitors which is why I love Somerset so much.

Downstairs is gloomy and depressing.Upstairs is spacious and uplifting.

Lovey ambiance, warm and friendly. The Sunday lunch was to die for. Served promptly by a very friendly member of staff. The proprietor had the time to stop and speak to us which was a lovely touch.

Very poor experience today. Temperature too low in the conservatory to remove coats. Food was slow to arrive and very disorganized service, I finished a pint in the time I was waiting. Finally our meal arrived, but only half of it and then we sat waiting for the rest of it to come, soggy overheated veg in a bowl. Small portions of food, 2 dry cold roast potatoes. Beef was fatty and chewy, the entire meal was tasteless including the gravy of which we were offered more of after we informed our waitress on the cold food when she check backed 'we can give you more hot gravy to warm it up'! Very poor response.Yorkshires had an oily, burnt oven after taste to them. No mention of how the meal was when I paid at the bar from other staff. Upon returning home I'm having to order a takeaway pizza

We have been several times now since we first stumbled on this delightful pub. 😊

Called in here on way home. Ladies were so friendly and welcoming, food very good , would recommend.

Lovely little pub will be coming back 😀

Great food great Saturday night

After a lengthy circular walk starting from the pub car park we came in for lunch. Three of the four of us had burgers while the forth had cottage pie. We also had two dogs with us (the pub is very dog friendly). Both dogs had a mini lunch from the doggy menu. Our lunch was lovely, the service was friendly and the prices very reasonable. We would definately return.

We had a great Sunday lunch at The Plough Inn. We'd reserved a table and arrived to a lovely welcome sign, dog menu, dog biscuit and water bowl. Our roasts were gorgeous and good sized portions and our dog loved the sausages from the dog menu! It was very busy but the staff were very attentive and friendly and food came out in good time.

A good Sunday lunch, arrived by 12.30 good service, but became a slower after 1pm when became quite busy.

Fantastic place and super tasty food

Lovely village pub. Stopped here with family in the afternoon Lovely, locally sourced menu with a variety of different lunch time options. Stunning surroundings (only a few miles away from The Quantock Hills) & a lovely interior.

Cider unpalatable, food disappointed

Loved the place and will recommend it to everyone I know.

We only popped in for a quick drink. Dog friendly and nice outside area. Staff lovely.

Had supper here while staying locally. Unfortunately the most interesting thing on the menu (lamb shish kebab) wasn't available that evening. Had the fish and chips instead. The fish seemed a bit like pre-battered, frozen oven fish, and the tartare sauce tasted very vinegary and processed, like it came from a store-bought jar/packet. Even the coleslaw was crude. It would have been ok as cheap pub-grub, but the pricing wasn't far off what a much better pub down the road was charging for significantly better quality. However, the staff were friendly and the pub was cosy.

Always feel welcome at the Plough

Really good evening here. Welcoming staff, friendly atmosphere and excellent food. Great ambience and decor.

Visited on a damp Monday lunchtime. Good traditional pub food plus specials. Great service, our order was taken at the table. Advised that food would be about 20 minutes but not a problem given the good beers on offer. Great pub to plan a walk around the Quantocks from or just if passing by on the way to or from Minehead.

Very nice meals and a good choice.

Sunday roast was excellent, could not fault the food and service.

Lovely food served by lovely people. Extra care and attention paid to our furry friend - including a doggy menu, doggy towels and blankets and free treats too! Traditional British homemade food in a pleasant, clean environment. Extremely reasonably priced too!

Excellent food friendly landlord and staff. Best pub in area and excellent with dogs. Have separate doggie menu.

Miserable people arrived in plenty of time to have food. And was turned away without a proper reason.

Very nice food. However the service was very slow, it appeared they were short staffed?!

Thank you to Steph & Zoe who made us feel so welcome, and to the kitchen staff for the amazing food. We came to the area on a girls holiday and were extremely pleased with our experience at the plough. Polite and friendly staff, the food was delicious and the atmosphere of the pub was just like home from home. Thank you so much, can't wait to come this way again.

We had a very acceptable meal on Sunday as our hotel didn’t open the restaurant on that night. It was quite busy and staff all friendly and efficient, fairly basic but good quality.

Although the food was quite good the time it took to arrive was very long .

Lovely place great food at the right price and very dog friendly with their own menu including doggy beer.

very rarely leave reviews but checking the temperature of meat before you serve it feels like a very standard food hygiene process. Sadly, I was served very raw chicken schnitzel. I’m quite an easy going person but I wish that I’d have taken a photo of the dish and made a bit more of an issue, as it was I was served up an alternative meal of scampi and chips (which I only felt comfortable enough to eat the chips) and still paid £48 for pleasure of my visit. Do not go here.

A really pleasant evening out comfortable warm and inviting atmosphere. Food really good and service good. Prices are reasonable for good quality food. Most enjoyable experience. Highly recommend.

We had a meal, with great service and it was very reasonably priced. Highly recommended for good pub grub. Good parking too

Have had some lovely meals here in the past but unfortunately this time was extremely disappointing.....the staff were very friendly & efficient & asked if everything was alright....I had to be honest & told them that I'd had much better there before......I was told that their chef had left and that they had an agency chef in but I thought that it was very expensive for what I received and I didn't enjoy it at all.....shame as it has now put me off going there again.

Stopped on route from Devon back to the Midlands. Cannot complain at all, food was delicious (the camembert to share - wow) staff very helpful and a nice pub. Thank you! ps. had our 2 dogs as well.

Despite minimal staff, the service and food was outstanding. MEGAN WAS EXCEPTIONAL. SHE IS A CREDIT TO YOUR COMPANY.

Een gezellige pub, met goed eten en een heerlijke ontspannen sfeer. Wij kozen voor onze lunch fish and chips met een lekker biertje erbij. Vanwege het mooie weer konden we lekker buiten zitten. Prima!

Nice pub food food but when we visited service was very slow. Not enough staff for the customers

Friendly welcome from all staff. Easy parking. We all enjoyed our excellent burgers from their very good value burger menu.

Friendly reception and 3 excellent burgers, well worth trying.

Always found this pub service,food and atmosphere good on many trips I had over the years to Minehead . Wish it was my local .

Signs and website say open all day for food...but they stop serving at 2.30pm!

I ordered a burger and chunky fries and my wife had the cod and chips. Both meals were excellent. I would certainly recommend it

Lovely Sunday lunch prebooked table with dog Arrived to find dog bowl, dog menu and treats on table, lovely touch Drink order taken and arrived quickly Food order taken and also very prompt. Had both the beef and turkey. Both were very nice waitress advised...

Geat food both for us and the dogs.

Lovely food and great atmosphere 👌

Really enjoyed our visit here, staff were very accommodating and the food was lovely ☺️ if we are ever back down this neck of the woods we definitely revisit

If this were our first visit we wouldn’t go back….5.45pm, maybe 6 tables taken. Unfriendly, inattentive bar person needed telling several times what our two drinks were. Asked to eat to which the reply was “have you booked”…as we had not she went off to...
