The Somerset Wagon in Mendip

Great country pub,makes all welcome x

Lovely country pub, very friendly staff, very dog friendly and great food too!

Loved our meal here, food was excellent, we had starters mains and son had a pudding everything was tasty good portions and piping hot, nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were all really friendly and our dog was more than welcomed he loved all the fuss. Would return when back in the area

Went here as it was listed as Dog friendly. Couldn’t have been a nicer pub. Ate outside in the beer garden as weather was lovely. Food portions were great. Fish and chips was more like whale and chips!! And prices very reasonable. Staff bent over backwards for the dog bringing a bowl of water and treats. Would definitely come back

The best gluten free menu, so many options. And they don’t use rubbish frozen GF bread. Things like lasagna are GF as standard. So many options. I had the GF fajita chicken burger and it was incredible. The waitress was so lovely also and took her time speaking to us and the children. Gutted we didn’t find this place earlier into our Somerset holiday but we’ll be back

It's just a great local pub. Great food throughout the week, great Sunday Roasts (potentially not served through summer months) and great Sunday evening entertainment (Bingo from 5.00 and 7.30 quiz night;-))

It’s a nice local pub, staff all friendly and smile all the time, very friendly owners, we will be back for sure. Highly recommended

A very welcoming and friendly greeting from all the staff. Home cooked good quality food, large portions. We had chicken curry, chips, naan. Chicken curry, rice, naan plus side of cheesy chips. Fish and chips. All absolutely delicious. We were so full we couldn't manage a dessert! We were on holiday nearby and wished we'd discovered The Somerset Wagon before our final evening as we would definitely have visited again. Dogs are welcome inside. Thanks for a lovely meal.

Really nice place to go for a meal, superb food and lots of choice on the menu

Nice friendly pub , food was fresh and full of flavor , staff were accommodating, all in all a great little pub

Didn't eat here but the pub and the beers were excellent

Comprehensive menu and very good service but the food was a bit over priced and disappointing. The calamari starter had more thick breadcrumb coating than calamari. The seafood risotto was delicious but spoiled by the inclusion of scaly fish skin, and unfortunately the burger was too dense and very dry. So disappointing…. we will not be coming back.

Absolutely lovely place for a meal super food ...and very welcoming staff ..really enjoyed our anniversary meal ...thank you

Our stay in Chilcompton has been marvellous, we had dinner here tonight, and we ordered 2 different starters, 2 different mains and a side. Not a single thing disappointed us, the food was just delicious, and the service was above and beyond, what an amazing place. You made us feel so welcome, my birthday has been amazing thank you so much.

Great pub. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Food was some of the best we've had in a long time. Excellent!

Baguette sandwiches are delicious with real fresh bread! Nice garden for a sunny lunch, and very dog friendly!

Great food and friendly staff. If going for food would advise booking a table in advance as can get quite busy especially on weekends.

Amazing food. Would definitely recommend!

Very pleasant staff, nice location. Swiftly and diligently served. The food was hot and tasty. The price was very reasonable, would recommend this establishment.

Nice pub, nice beer garden. Good Wadworths pub. Friendly.

Sunday lunch was good, service was excellent, highly recommend, dogs welcome.

Lovely local pub. Friendly staff. Great food.

Great Sunday lunch, went there with family and we all were impressed with the Sunday roast, generous portions and very good quality. I recommend a visit.

Great local pub with exceptional food and service. I took 4 elderly guests and the staff showed great patience and care. The food was surprising as I had expected pub grub and it certainly wasn’t; all cooked from scratch and very tasty!

They have done out the pub very well,nice atmosphere and although cramped (it always has been) they have laid it out well. I had a trip of Butchers sausages ,&. Mash but my sausages were notcwhatcIvwoukd call proper sized butchers sausages and looked as if they had been cooked on a charcoal grill as they were black on the outside and semi pink inside.My neighbour had a meat pie which also was scorched on the lid. It has to be said most people seemed to enjoy their food,but not an experience to repeat for me

This was our first time visiting this pub we was meet by Dan and James and the lovely bar staff . It was very warm we decided to have food and glad we did cause we couldn’t fault anything and the ales was very good too

They catered for my mum's wake. The good was plentiful and tasty. Vegan options were great too. Thank you

Thank you Dan, James, Zita and team for a fabulous lunch!!! Excellent food and service as always. Also loved the 80's music 🎶. See you soon 💞

Lovely place with fantastic food and great service. They are also dog friendly. Will definitely be back!

Found this gem of a place on Google we were staying not far from the pub and wanted to find something different. Lovely little pub tucked back off the road , I made the mistake of not booking thinking it would be quite on a Tues but I was wrong and when I sampled the food I wasn't surprised. The staff were lovely and welcoming and we managed to get the last table. The Christmas decorations were lovely and festive and the Christmas tree was incredible. We both ordered the pie with mash and gravy it was delicious and plenty of it. Would highly recommend this lovely homley welcoming little gem. Will definitely be back when in the area.

Lovely little pub with amazing food and lovely staff, great Christmas tree.

Lovely Christmas meal with our dancing group - lovely food staff attentive - very pretty Xmas decs and atmosphere It was clean and tidy Would go back again

Was recommended to us by the lovely people at Midsummer Quilters, and I can see why. Staff were friendly and welcoming, there was a great atmosphere, and the Sunday Roast was awesome. You had a choice of up to 6 meats! I actually had the nut roast, and it is one of the best I've ever had. Plenty of gravy, loads of tasty veg and fluffy yorkshires. Would recomed to all.

We went with a group of about a dozen for a Christmas party. This pub is not suitable for large groups and we were crammed in the further corner behind the bar. This is not a criticism of the pub self. We had pre-ordered fairly promptly pirate I had an ocean pie for £15.95 which was plenteous and as you would expect full of different types of fish. This pub is not suitable for an intimate conversation because it is very echoy and unless you are seated in the quiet area it is difficult to hear what others are saying. My only shock was when I ordered a a small Merlot and a medium Pino gringo and was charged £12.10 for the privilege. This is well-up to London or Bristol prices and possibly slightly in excess. I would not go back again for this reason.

Lovely pub with welcoming landlords. Good pub food at reasonable prices. Tempura prawns are very yum. Service always great and friendly. Definitely recommended but need to book as always busy.

Great pub, friendly staff and customers. Had the Christmas lunch and the food was excellently cooked and extremely tasty. The waitress was polite and service was very quick. Good range of beers. Highly recommend.

Another great sunday lunch,cooked to perfection.Staff really helpful as usual. Great beer and wine. Be back soon.

Stopped off on our way home from Bath for a drink and a bite to eat with visiting friends. We were warmly welcomed and the food and service was excellent and the atmosphere was great and Christmas spirit well provided by the great decorations Thanks Somerset Wagon

My mother's just moved to Chilcompton and this is now her local - how lucky are we! We went in a small group for Sunday lunch - so much delicious food! Ambience was great too. We'll be back.

The Somerset Wagon has been our local for 13+ years and it has been a lovely place to go for food and drinks. Since the new owners took over, the food has been wonderful. The staff are always very friendly and the service is brilliant. We will continue going to the wagon as a family and with friends for years to come I am sure! 5 stars from us!!

A village pub is the beating heart of a traditional English village and The Somerset Wagon is a truly sublime example of that. Dan and James have transformed the pub in the 18 months they have been there, ably assisted by Zita and the ladies. The right mix of a drinkers pub and good quality home cooked food proves the key ingredients that make the place magical. Add in the Bingo, Quiz, weekly draws and good conversation it really does tick all the boxes. It is often full to bursting on a late weekday / weekend evening with people eating and drinking and enjoying the merriment. That says it all! An extensive menu with a very large number of Gluten Free dishes makes it a great place for all to enjoy. Crystal clear award winning real ales as well as great larger and wines is the icing on top. Be sure to visit!

New to the village and was greeted with a warm smile and had a lovely meal with friendly staff. Sure to be returning many times!

This pub is superb. We visit at least once a month and are never disappointed by the warm greeting with very friendly staff. The beers and wines are excellent and the food is delicious. Had Sunday lunch for a family birthday last weekend and it was a very enjoyable experience for us all. There are 6 different meats to choose from and you could have all 6 if you have a very big appetite!! I would thoroughly recommend the Wagon - you will not be disappointed.

We decided on the Somerset Wagon for a well over due friends get together and what a good decision it was. All three of my fellow diners had the curry and throughly enjoyed it. I decided on the roast pork and it was absolutely delicious. Perfectly crisp crackling, a good amount of veg and a boat load of gravy. It also came with a small bowl of chips which I just could not finish after the beautiful pork. We will definitely be back again

Great beer and staff, what more do you need for a local pub. Been using this place for many years and recently has not been good. Since Dan and James became the landlords it has been transformed to its former glories. A must visit!

We recently had a large group of family visiting from overseas so on two nights we took some of them for dinner in the Wagon. On both occasions, the group members commented on how enjoyable an evening it was. Two of them have allergy issues, but these were understood by staff and great care was taken not to cause any problems. Drinks choices were very good and we covered many dishes from the extensive but not overwhelming menu. Children's choices were especially enjoyed. Prices were very fair for the quality of food and service was prompt and exceptionally friendly without being obtrusive. I know that everyone has their own experience but for us the Wagon and team really do a great job and are a real asset to Chilcompton - thanks and keep it up!

Welcoming, great food, beer and wine and a lovely friendly atmosphere from everyone, including the regulars. Tasty and lovely presented food and with great service as well. We have eaten there twice this week. That must say something about how good it is. Dan and...

We have loved the Somerset Wagon ever since Dan and James took it over. I genuinely think it's the best it's been in the seven years we've lived in the village. It's so good to have such a great pub in the village. The place is always busy, which it wasn't with the previous owners. It has a friendly atmosphere now. The Christmas decorations made it feel even more cosy and welcoming. I had a lovely meal at lunchtime today, lovely like it always is. The menu is varied and always fresh and delicious. There is a good selection of beers, wines and ciders, and Zita is always friendly and attentive. Keep up the good work and ignore any negative reviews, as they are clearly in the minority. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful food, fantastic wine and superb staff….oh yes and dog friendly!!

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch - great choice of meats . We also lunched here in the week with friends, great choice of menu and delicious, The staff are always welcoming and very prompt with the service, look forward to seeing you again very...

Another lovely evening at The Wagon, this time celebrating our wedding which had been held the day before. The restaurant was busy but the service was great and the food was excellent. Always a warm welcome at The Wagon.

Such a lovely traditional little pub. Excellent food and such a large selection of gluten free options. Friendly staff and very welcoming

Rang the Somerset wagon on the off chance they could accommodate 7 people and a dog which they managed to do at the last minute we was all feeling sad after the death of a family member the staff was fantastic and very understanding gave...

One of the best Sunday lunches we have ever had, the selection of meats is amazing and the service was friendly and fast with how busy they were… ignore the negative on here, people are rude and unappreciative of the staff that are working very...

Lovely food and atmosphere Dan and James have brought this place back to life. Staff very accommodating

A fantastic pub ,with very helpful staff very polite and quick on service. A Warm welcome from the managers who have always got time for a chat .

Lovely relaxed atmosphere , good pub food , clean and comfortable relaxed atmosphere, varied menu ..would recommend

We called in on a Friday night and managed to get a table for two. We had a lovely meal and the service was great. The menu has a really good selection and the pub was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Will definitely be back x

I have visited the Wagon to eat a few times recently. The food has been excellent and the service very friendly and attentive. The pub is well looked after and the Christmas decs are gorgeous.

Lovely little village pub! The landlords and staff are so friendly and helpful. The food is delicious especially the fish pie, it’s so good. Love visiting here for a relaxing and home cooked meal. Highly recommend.

Excellent welcoming village pub, I've lived in this village all my life and Dan and James have certainly put the local back into the village. Cosy and warm. Christmas decorations are worth a visit too!

We have eaten at the Wagon weekly for the last 6 months, and spend most Sunday Evenings there playing Bingo. Dan, James and every single staff member are attentive, kind, thoughtful and helpful. James’ food is the exact kind of food you want to eat in a local village pub - freshly made and delicious. James’ salad is my favourite thing to eat, closely followed by the Orange sponge! We honestly couldn’t ask for a better local pub, Dan and James have made it into a real community pub where it’s a joy to spend time. Its dog and child friendly, and really well set out so you can have a quiet meal or a chat with the locals. It’s always busy, but all the staff take time to talk to you, and remember what drinks you like and even remember my food order! I would encourage everyone to try it out, especially at the moment where you can enjoy the beautiful Christmas decorations. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Keep doing exactly what you are doing Dan and James, because Chilcompton is a better village with The Somerset Wagon in it.

Popped in to see what the place had to offer Was not disappointed, lovely pub, lovely staff and fantastic food at a good price. Highly recommend this pub Keep up the excellent work all of you

Marvellous food and a great choice of drinks. Lovely service and amazing Christmas decorations! Consistently great service each time we go there. The kids love the food too! Desserts are 😋😋 delicious! Well worth it and always looked after by the staff there.

Well done lads, keeping the village pub alive with good honest value for money food and service. Its not easy running a business in the current climate, so very well done. Keep it going chaps !

Absolutely amazing evening there tonight, staff were lovely, food was brilliant as usual and great value for money. Absolutely highly recommended 5 stars all round !!

We Love this pub! Food and service always excellent. Cosy atmosphere , great vibes. Friendly , hardworking team. 10/10 :)

Fantastic food, fantastic service couldn’t recommend a more friendlier pub than this one. Sunday night Bingo and quiz night full of fun and laughter. If you haven’t been then I suggest you go. The menu suits every appetite and will leave you feeling full and...

Great home cooked food in a recently refurbished pub. Staff are attentive and friendly, made us and our dog feel at home. Village pubs like these are rare these days, will defo be back for a sneaky mid dog walk beer!

Could not fault the service 5 stars, food 5 stars , staff 5 stars , atmosphere 5 stars. Beautiful pub, we had an amazing evening, thank you so much ! Highly recommended 🤩

Lovely local, friendly staff with great food. This is an honest and true review, the best way to confirm this, is to visit the venue yourselves. You will not be disappointed.🙂

Great food, great service and now for each Sunday great entertainment with bingo starting at 5pm and a quiz night at 7.30. Friendly and helpful staff and great choice of food and drink.

I’ve popped in the wagon twice now for a solo lunch in my break and both times had there sea bass fish cakes! Soo recommend them and the salad that is with it is lovely and lots going on ! Great pub glad it’s back...

A lunch date with friends at the Somerset wagon was amazing, the food was huge and all fresh and well presented .. the pubs been turned around decor beautiful, cleanliness to a high standard , staff lovely , and very busy . Will return soon...

This is a fantastic pub! The food was delicious, the beer is excellent and the pub has a great atmosphere! Owners Daniel and James clearly take pride in their pub and have great friendly staff, who are incredibly professional. A fantastic experience, and highly recommended!

Tasty and lovely presented food and with great service as well. Tonight is the second time this week we have eaten here. Dan and James have done a fantastic job at bringing The Somerset Wagon back to being a cosy, clean, welcoming pub with great staff, lovely tasting food, decent wine and well kept beer. They have an award for the way they look after their beer and it is well deserved. Never hear any complaints. Its about time you guys had an award for your food too, and your amazing Christmas decorations and beautiful tree. Long may it continue, well done for everything you have done since you have been at The Somerset Wagon

We booked here for a very special family celebration with massive regrets the place was empty on arrival which should have been a tell tell sign in itself The bar staff and chef was more interested in chatting amongst themselves behind the bar and getting themselves drinks rather than attending to us we eventually got served some 5 mins later with very limited drinks options this didn’t take long the food was advertised as fresh and homemade but it most certainly was not it is just massively overpriced frozen microwave food and the cheesecake deserts was also frozen and custard all curdled and cold you would get far better food and service at Wetherspoons but paying Wetherspoon prices. I complained to the staff behind bar but they did not seem bothered at all just said they would get James to call me but he never did so I had to phone back again several times and leave messages and eventually he phoned me back almost 2 weeks later and his bad attitude and response was shocking this place has gone severely downhill and certainly won’t last with these two guys on board! Go elsewhere save your money and heartache. If I could give these a zero star I would as 1 star is one too many for them.

Great little pub. Everyone was welcoming. Gave them a call for a last minute table booking and accommodated without fuss along with the numerous questions and requests for food. Even saved us an item as we had called in advance. Food was great as were staff. Dog friendly. Couldn’t rate highly enough.

As a retired chef I found the food average and expensive service good but better than 3years ago won't be going back soon

The best baguette every. Quality ingredients (brie, bacon, chutney) in a fabulous crispy baguette. The side dishes of super crispy chips and a lovely, dressed portion of salad added to a very pleasant lunch. And all for a sensible price.

Good selection of drinks, food was a little pricey but good for the remoteness of the place and tasty all the same - nice atmosphere with an open fire!

Have been quite a few times now with friends and family, tried lots of different meals and not been disappointed once. Last night was steak, ale and mushroom pie. Delicious food and very welcoming staff. Will keep going back

Amazing Sunday lunch, great choice of meats, very good service, friendly and welcoming, highly recommend, will be back when I'm next in the area visiting friends.

Fabulous food, 1 2 3 4 5 6 meats all lush. 6x on draught brill

Phoned up and booked a table after being let down elsewhere. They squeezed us in and I’m glad they did, food was lovely. Will be coming back 10/10

Great staff and good atmosphere !

Lovely local with decent cider and a great garden.

We went for Sunday Roast. The portions were massive.

Friendly service and nicely presented food. Good menu choices.

Great food and great service. Thank you

Good food reasonably priced, I had excellent service, and the food took only a few minutes.

Lovely evening, very enjoyable. Lovely food

Four of us met for a mid-week lunch. There was plenty of choice. Every meal was delicious and hot. The staff were friendly and gave a great service. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for good pub grub in a lovely and clean environment.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Food was hot with a lovely jug of gravy.
