Great little pub, tones of character from the decorations to the people enjoying their selfs there. Stopped for a sandwich and toilet break which they were able to pack us the sandwiches on the go.

We love The Smithy. The pub itself is charming, the staff make you feel so welcome, and the food is always delicious and reasonably priced. We hosted a birthday party here and had the the best time!! We had free reign to use the space however we liked and Rebecca was so helpful in creating a delicious buffet within our budget. All our guests commented how much they liked the pub and how friendly the staff were. Thankyou so much Rebecca and team!

It is a lovely, cosy pub with really good classic pub food for a very reasonable price and a large and beautiful garden. Good ambience and the staff were really friendly and attentive. We will definitely come here again when in the area.

Turned up here in our Motorhome, let us stay the night in the car park after having the most amazing food! Our waitress Kelly was just the loveliest lady who made us feel so welcome and happy to chat and have a laugh with. Landlady was equally as lovely. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Having lived in Somerset for nearly 12 years The Smithy is without a doubt my favourite pub. The owners are incredibly welcoming and friendly; the atmosphere is relaxed and the customers are a wonderful mix of great people. There is a large garden for eating out during the summer where they put on events . Cosy sofas around the fireplace for the winter months and most importantly the food is proper pub food with a great mix of choice. I highly recommend it if you are visiting this part of Somerset which is a 15 minutes from Bruton, The Newt and Hauser & Wirth

Lunch for three after a trip to Stourhead. Fabulous home cooking and great service so friendly and welcoming. Locally sourced cheese and sausages. Interesting veggie options. Great range of ciders, including a rhubarb cider! Well located for Bruton or Stourhead.

I really wanted to give this place more stars... The staff were really friendly. The food was home cooked and tasty - I had the burger (I can't speak for other people in my group who didn't enjoy what they had).. I felt like the place needed a good clean. The male toilets were in particular need of attention. The atmosphere was a bit flat, albeit it was absolutely empty when we arrived, ate and left.

Love the quirkiness of the place and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was really tasty traditional pub fayre and they had a good range of drinks. However, the portion size was what left a bad taste in our mouths. The kids portion was tiny - fine for a 3 year old but not for a 7 year old. We had to order extra portions of sides once the food came. The price wasn't bad if the portions had been bigger. But as we had to order extra sides and a whole second kids meal it was more costly than we intended.

What a wonderful village / country pub. Greeted like a local invited to join in on the quiz night. Food was superb. Proper food clearly homemade and delicious. Her had a spicy chickpea burger - the vote was outstanding. I had the beef burger with onion rings and coleslaw - simply outstanding The specials were very tempting as well and clearly displayed.

We had such a lovely experience in The Smithy! The food was fantastic, with plenty to choose from for someone who is Gluten and Dairy intolerant. The dairy free mocha semifreddo was heavenly! The ambience of the pub is very welcoming, beautiful period features. And the hosts were a joy to meet! Thank you Rebecca and the team! Claire and Miles

We came here for a meal and I must say it is a hidden gem! The pub itself is quirky and well decorated in fairy lights, giving a wonderful atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious- really good portion sizes, plenty of options to choose from and served with a smile, all for a very good price. There are also plenty of wines/drinks to choose from at the bar. The staff were all so lovely- in particular the barmaid/waitress who was so polite in getting to know us and making our stay pleasant, and the owner who greeted us at our table and recommended some dishes from the menu (his wife is the chef- and a very good one at that) and wine. I would highly recommend a visit here- we will definitely be returning soon!

Our party of six had a most enjoyable evening. The staff were welcoming and the lady who served us was particularly attentive. This was greatly appreciated because one of our number is very unsteady and uses a wheelchair/ walking frame. The member of staff concerned fetched extra cushions. She made sure that we had plenty of time to settle and showed us every consideration. The food was delicious. I had the best Caesar Salad I have ever tasted! We would certainly return if visiting the area again.

Today we went to the Smithy for their Sunday roast and it was absolutely amazing!! The roast beef was beautifully rare and the pork was cooked perfectly. Roast potatoes were crisp and delicious and the cauliflower cheese was what you want, cheesy! Freshly made yorkshires and fantastic gravy. I've reviewed this pub before because it is a real hidden gem with so much character, cosy atmosphere and amazing landlord/lady. Thank you so much for an amazing afternoon can't wait to come back.

First time we have visited since new people took over. Place is lovely, comfortable and friendly. We had the lunchtime tapas menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was very good, charming young lady served us who was extremely knowledgeable even though she had only been there a week, a real asset to the place. We will definitely be back.

My first visit was very good but I thought there was a lack of choice with the vegetarian options. I looked at the online sample menus recently and there was only 1 veggie starter and main offered. The Boar didn't respond to any of my emails asking if there were more choices as the sample menus may have been out of date. If they can't be bothered to respond then that's really disappointing for someone who would quite happily have booked regularly.
