The refurb is good but the food is not very good at all. This is a shame because the pub is well placed to do really well, if the food were better.

Very surprised Saturday night and just about empty at 8pm. The staff are lovely sat down with menus and told 3 of the mains were sold out, which is OK but not extensive menu to start with so left with a choice of 3 or 4 mains.Food price reasonable. We had steak and chips. Dessert was sticky toffee but looked more like a ginger sponge...So overall the place is great inside now, and as I said staff were lovely, but I genuinely feel the food was just OK...

Have enjoyed the excellent real ales since reopening and looked forward to eating. We were not disappointed, there is a good selection of ‘pub grub’ meals and lighter meals at reasonable prices. Food was served promptly, was nice and hot and we did not leave hungry. This is a genuine old country pub with a good atmosphere and friendly staff - well done Bernie and team!!

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at The Sexeys Arms today. I cannot recommend them highly enough for the food that was served. Every single dish was absolutely divine! Very affordable and really good portion sizes! The service is second to none, always a friendly face to chat to. All around 5🌟.

Finally, another proper pub in the area, one that will sell food sometime in August once the kitchen is complete..but.... it will be a pub that sells food,.. NOT a restaurant that sells drinks... Bernie the landlord understands that to build community support for his business, he needs to provide a community social hub, the bar is cosy and traditional... I am pleased to have been there at the beginning, this pub will be a roaring success. 3 cask beers... not many do these days.

The place has reopened. Nice refurb but we had to endure a woman with a large Labrador sitting in the window with another 2 chaps talking loudly about how there too many Black People (she used the word and the term Ethnics). We left quickly, such a shame, it seems that they have made a real effort refurbishing, and done a great job.

Currently under new management wth a freshly renovated interior and a new separate cafe/ coffee area. The kitchen is being renewed and all should be ready for food (pub grub) by the middle of August 2024. Sexeys Arms is now open for drinks in the bar.

What a wonderful little pub this is. We didn’t book for food but after a lovely pint of Exmoor gold we decided to order food. I ordered the fish pie and my partner had ham egg and chips. Both were excellent and very generous portions. Ham was butcher quality and eggs had orange coloured yolks coming from happy hens. My fish pie was one of the best I’ve had. Mike and Pauline are a lovely couple and made us feel extremely welcome. 4 pints and two main courses for £45.00 can’t go wrong. We will certainly be back soon!

Last year we came across Sexey’s late lunchtime but were served a brilliant meal so this year we booked. You are made welcome the minute you walk in the door. I had a carbonara, my wife chilli con carne. Okay took a little while to cook but it’s a pub so drinks on hand. The results were served hot wonderful flavours and very good portions and not a mass of rice or pasta with meagre sauces. In addition lovely garlic bread and chips- crisp on outside and firm inside. Remember these are cooked when you order not kept under infrared lamps for hours. Pudding? Spotted Dick a mass of fruit in good sponge. Other was a Bailey’s sundae - calorific choc sauce and flake, vanilla ice cream laced with a very generous portion of Bailey’s!! With a soft drink and cider all came to under £40. This after after a 170 mile drive is the best way to start our holiday.

Stopped for a family Sunday roast dinner and greeted by friendly staff and good service. The roast was flavoursome with a great variety of vegetables and plenty of meat, which made it excellent value for money. The vegetables were all slightly overcooked, like mother used to do back in the day and the swede and sprouts tasted frozen rather than fresh. Felt quite nostalgic eating here.

We drove around looking for a place to eat whilst staying at Cheddar Woods and came across this little pub tucked away. They had finished doing Sunday roasts and said they were closing but could prepare us a meal as we were desperate. We waited for approximately 30 mins and were thrilled when the food arrived. It was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! The staff were so friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be returning again.

What a fantastic find while staying around the Cheddar Gorge with our dog. Hidden away but with loads of easy parking we stopped without booking for an early lunch and glad we did. A warm welcome from the Landlady and Landlord in this quintessential independent country English pub was topped off by an amazing specials board. The food was incredible... a beautifully cooked Gammon Steak for me and an incredible fish pie for my wife...both huge with loads of sides.... if you are staycationing in the cheddar area I would highly recommend The Sexeys Arms Inn.

Staff are always very friendly and helpful.

We went as a party of four vegetarians. We had previously eaten at Sexes a little while ago. The land lady is vegetarian, so there is a varied vegetarian choice along with the usual meat dishes. They had a Christmas ale, which went down a treat. I hope they replace it with another one of same quality, as their normal ale is quite uninspiring. Overall, an establishment I am happy to recommend to every one to go and enjoy.

A few of us had the fish pie, which was beautifully flavoured, piping hot and had loads of vegetables with it, all cooked well. We even ventured into sweets and I had a lovely sticky toffee pudding and ice cream. Attentive service and good value for money.

Was staying a short drive away in Wedmore. Had not booked on Friday but tried on the off chance. Was told restaurant was fully booked by a large party but was welcome to eat in the bar . We decided to we would as locals at bar said the food was great. I had the chicken bacon and Stilton which was served with a very generous portion of new potatoes and lots of fresh veg. It was really delish. My husband had the gammon steak with lots of trimmings. Mostly it was good but the gammon was on the thin side and was cooked too much so a little tough but on the whole a great value meal. Would go again if in the area.

The Sexeys Arms is a good old traditional pub which I wish was on my doorstep. I met my brother and his wife here, they were on holiday from Scotland, for an evening meal. We all had a different selection and all the meals were freshly cooked. I was served boiled potatoes and vegetables instead of chips but it just didn’t matter. Will definitely return, hopefully quite soon.

Have drove this place before while on holiday but after looking on trip advisor decided to give it a go. When we entered it was like the pub that time forgot but the owner was friendly and the menu looked interesting. Got to say the pies were the best home made pies we had ever had in a pub, we had 2 x fish pies and 1 x steak pie served with chips and the freshest vegetables and salad you could eat. Will not be driving past again, about to visit again this week while on holiday, dog friendly too. All I can say is, Superb, bet the locals love this place.

We stopped by on the off chance for lunch as I heard the food was good and I wanted a peak inside as I hadn’t been there for over 40 years! It is a lovely country pub with lots of parking in a lovely part of Somerset. The landlord was very amiable and so were the customers there; even though we were ‘strangers in town’ we felt most welcome. The food was excellent (fish pie and steak & ale pie with side dishes and salad). Service was friendly and prompt. We didn’t try any of the beer on offer because of driving unfortunately. We ate outside but the dinning room looks good. Would not hesitate to recommend it for a meal or a few pints.

We went to Sexeys Arms for lunch with friends last week. Two of us had the luxury fish pie and two had the lamb chops, and we all really enjoyed our choice, it was all homemade and very tasty. Desserts were not homemade but were fine, all was good value for money. It was a shame that we were the only people there, so no atmosphere, and, although everything appeared quite clean, our table felt quite sticky.

Table for 4 booked for 7pm last Saturday evening. Table was extremely clean and well laid with a small vase of fresh flowers. Pub was very busy so service was very slow. Ordered 3 fish pies and a Carbonara from the 'specials' board. After some time, a friendly young lady came to confirm our orders. Again a wait, which was expected from previous reviews, for the food to arrive. The wine list was 2 reds or 2 whites but a glass of the white and a bottle of the red was very satisfactory. The fish pies were pronounced plentiful and excellent. The Carbonara was plentiful and very tasty but it lacked 2 vital ingredients - pancetta/bacon and parmesan cheese. Three large cheesecakes and a large slice of apple pie were good.

My wife and I live local to the Sexeys Inn but have not visited it for years so when my brother, who was visiting from Scotland, suggested it we thought lets go for it. We were not disappointed. The pub is what I would call a country pub with a range of superb real ales and a really oldie type dinning room. We could not fault the food at all, it was not expensive and was prepared to a high standard. I will definitely return and my only disappointment is that I hadn't returned many years ago. Go on give it a try, you wont be disappointed.

Our first home cooked meals at Sexey's Arms were so good that we returned the following night for more! I had lasagne one night, asking not to have the chips that would have come with it. My partner had fish pie, vegetables and chips, then he ordered the Chocolate Orange Cheesecake and two spoons. I had intended to just have one spoonful, but in the end must have eaten a third of his dessert because it was so good. Whoops, there goes the diet! Luckily for him it was about a fifth of a dinner plate in diameter and a couple of inches high. Neither of us left hungry.The following night I had Beef in Guinness Ale Pie, which was packed full of tender slow-cooked beef and had a crispy flaky pastry top and no pastry base. It came with chips and steamed vegetables. I had no room for dessert, but tasted a spoonful of my partner's delicious raspberry cheesecake. It was an enormous portion, but so delicious that he managed it all!The only potential problem for some people is that the food is cooked to order and takes quite a long time to arrive. Allow up to 45 minutes after ordering, savour your drinks (the Butcombe bitter is very smooth) and the friendly atmosphere and enjoy the quirky surroundings (a large statue of a North American Indian is in the inglenook and many other photos and paintings of North American Indian chiefs grace the walls. We enjoyed reading the menu, for the story of the pub's namesake, the pirate, Sexey, who got caught by the Crown, and was then offered a job working for Queen Elizabeth I to bring the treasures of the high seas back to England. We were staying at Nut Tree Farm B&B in Stoughton and doing a lot of walking, notably up and along the Cheddar Gorge cliffs from Black Rock down to Jacob's Ladder, then up the other side and back to Black Rock. So - fortunately - we had built up an appetite and could do justice to the huge portion sizes at Sexey's Arms.

After sitting down at a table we waited for a menu to be bought to us but then after 5 minutes the lady said to order at the bar when ready, so I then I had to collect the menu from the bar and sit back down.I ordered the gammon which was £9.50 and tried to pay on card but there was a £10 limit which I think is too high as most of the meals were below this limit. And as £9.50 was close to £10 I thought she would let me pay on card anyway.I bought a lime and soda to make up the card limit which just tasted of soda.Also, when the food came I was told there was no pineapple for the gammon, but was only told this as the food arrived on the table. Also the gammon was meant to come with tomato but didn't.Disappointed with the food and service, which is a shame because it still follows the traditional pub interior.

A traditional, stone-built pub that is slightly off the beaten track but only a mile or so from Wedmore, it has a few picnic benches out the front and is divided internally in to three rooms. Although it does seem to have something of a food emphasis in as much that many of the tables in the lounge were reserved for diners as well as those in the restaurant, the food offering is nonetheless traditional pub faire rather than anything of the “gastro” variety. The central room is the main lounge bar and this was a cosy spot with red patterned carpet on the floor, whitewashed stone walls, plenty of low beams on the ceiling and a large stone fire-place on one side with a log fire blazing away and a row of pewter tankards hanging up above it. This was the most attractive of three rooms and it was a shame that so many tables were reserved, making the options for drinkers somewhat limited. A public bar to the left had a flagstone floor and a couple of chunky farmhouse tables as well as a smaller bar counter and a darts board. The restaurant was probably the largest of the three rooms, and had slightly less ambience with an orange tiled floor and cream wood panelling on much of the walls, although there was exposed stone-work along the front. A large stone fire-place was at each end, although both of these appeared unused. There seemed to be something of an American Indian theme here, with various models of Indians around as well as feathered headgear, pictures and information on the walls.Food wise, the menu had a slightly retro feel to it in some ways (a starter of prawn cocktail for example) and offered a good selection of “pub grub” dishes such as Chilli, Scampi & Chips, Chicken Curry, Ham Egg & Chips, etc., and these were mostly priced around £8 - £10. There was also a specials board in the lounge, although in practise this replicated much of the main menu with only one or two extra dishes available. A “luxury” fish pie was a decent and generous portion with a very cheesy mash topping and the accompanying salad was a notch or two up from your usual pub offering that included strips of pepper, grapes and an orange slice. A beef lasagne was similarly well received.Beers on tap were Butcombe, Exmoor Ale and Exmoor Exmus whilst the ciders were Stowford Press and Ashton Press. All in all I really liked this pub with it’s friendly landlady, cosy ambience and traditional and hearty pub food. Just a bit more space for drinkers in the lounge bar would have made it just about perfect.

When eight hungry Dutch guys stand on the doorstep they are invited in. Get drinks an good food, are made feeling welcome and get a more then reasonable bill. To bad we couldn't stay for a few more pints.

Read a lot about the time meals take before going. Menu and landlady told us so no complaints. Large portions and great quality. Honest pub grub go to the sexeys

Friendly pub, great landlord and excellent pub food, all cooked fresh.... don't be in a hurry, if you are you won't do the place justice. The beer is well kept and the locals are colourful characters... one and all.We love this place.

We arrived late, almost too late to get a meal this time. However, we were asked to wait and yes we were able to get food. I had a delicious Gammon Steak with a fried egg and chips. It was hot and freshly cooked and very welcome. The Sexeys Arms can be really busy so it is adviseable to book in advance to ensure a meal is available. Also there may be some days when they are not cooking so it is adviseable to check before starting out.

A very pleasant traditional pub with reasonably priced freshly prepared food. (Hence the wait that some reviewers have grumbled about)The landlord and his wife are excellent hosts with a wicked sense of fun.As far as the food itself is concerned, the breaded mushrooms, fish pie and steak pie can be recommended.The cask ale however is perhaps an acquired taste as it was for me at least quite bland, and not at all moreish.

What a lovely place to spend an evening. We enjoyed great food, piping hot and freshly cooked. Great portion size and very tasty. This is our new local pub and I couldn't be happier. Back again tonight to sample something else off the menu.

Large portions of reasonable average pub grub with a good selection of decent beer. The service was good and this is a real local pub full of regulars who are very friendly

We visited last Thursday evening on the off chance (as we had phoned but there was no reply on several occasions) and were pleasantly surprised by the olde world interior and warm atmosphere of this old inn. Very much a local pub, it had a very good menu and some nice draft beers on offer, along with a friendly welcome. We both had the lamb chops which were well presented with a good selection of vegetables and very tasty. All in all, it was an enjoyable meal in a nice venue and good value for money, we would go back again for more! (Just do answer the phone so people from outside the area know you are there please).

We booked a table for 1pm on Father's Day. The owner took our order for 4 meals at 1:20pm. We spoke to the owner at 2:10pm about waiting for over an hour, to be told the cook was on her own in the kitchen. We eventually ate at 2:20pm. The two roast meats were preformed, the vegetables tasted as though they'd been on the boil since April and it was all floating in gravy. We didn't order a dessert as we had to be at work by 8am the following day. Perhaps our expectations of fresh was an expectation too high for this sweet little pub. The décor is bonkers - a bird wing, a brass plant spray, a bison, Christmas cushions, Native American memorabilia, a willow pattern jug and a dead cactus sit together in a decidedly un eclectic, totally mad muddle. Poor food, terribly slow service and a disappointing Father's Day lunch.

We stayed in a local B&B and the Sexeys Arms was recommended for food, at a reasonable cost and cooked fresh to order. It was exactly that. The food was lovely and fresh and the owners were very welcoming. Would recommend if your looking for good food at a realistic price.

Ate with friends on a Saturday night : the absence of other diners should have given us a clue! We were one of only two tables in use. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, but the pub is clearly not setting out to be a restaurant. The menu is very limited and consisted of mainly basic dishes - pretty much pub grub. As such the food is ok whilst the beer was good. Would visit again for the beer but would eat elsewhere.

Had a wait of about 30 minutes for the meal, but it was worth waiting for. I had the minted lamb chops with fresh vegetables and my husband had the steak and Guinness pie. Both meals were piping hot, which made a refreshing change. Excellent variety of vegetables for me, as in addition to the new potatoes I had broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and peas, with delicious gravy. My husband's pie was packed. with tender pieces of steak. The landlord was friendly and attentive and my husband's beer and my cider were both excellent. My only comment is that if you want instant food you are probably better off going to KFC or MacDonalds!

Had a really great meal but was slow coming which with 2 hungry kids wasn't great. Staff were apologetic and quality was good so nothing to concerning. Overall very good.

Ate here last October, with friends. We couldn't sit in the restaurant as it was full, but never the less a table for us was available in the bar, which was fine. I had the fish pie which was really very good indeed. I look forward to eating here again to experience other dishes, and hope to try the restaurant next time. Service was good and friendly, with a really great country pub atmosphere.We recommend Sexey's Arms to our B & B guests, as just two miles from us.

Traditional pub with friendly landlord and landlady. Good food at a reasonable price and décor that includes a native American themed dining room. We loved the quirkiness of it mixed with the beams and stone walls and the friendly atmosphere with a willingness to do simple things like give me extra salad instead of chips. This isn't the place to be if you're in a hurry to eat and run but if you want good food, friendly people and relaxed personal service this is the place for you. It made us smile.

The Sexeys Arms is a very unusual name perhaps and it has a great deal of history. It is also a very unusual Restaurant. We ate there twice during our recent stay in Wedmore and we were delighted with the food on offer and the decor, which was unusual to say the least, with an American Indian Theme. It was really unusual, interesting and worth seeing. The food on offer is good with dishes you might think typical pub grub dishes, but, we tried Ham, egg and Chips, fantastic, Steak and Ale Pie, great, The food was served in generous portions and was really delicious. The Dessert Menu had a great cheesecake on offer and that was also really good. The restaurant is very welcoming and the menu varied. We didn't need to book a table but if you want to give your tastebuds and outing and need to check availability the telephone number is: 01934 712487.

Poor quality Ham, Eggs and Chips It was 10.15 at night so we went for something’s simple.. The eggs which are usually fried came out poached and were rock hard with hardly any yolk at all. You could count the chips on two hands although it was suppose to be the large meal and there was hardly any taste. Will go elsewhere to eat next time.

What a fantastic little pub. Wonderful decor really well thought out. Garden also very impressive with pods, birds and ample seating. Sunday lunch was great choice of two. A very good lunch out and definitely going back.

Great pub in a convenient location, couldn't believe it was almost empty, it is closing down due to lack of support, a great shame.
