We stayed for one night in the onsite accommodation and ate in the pub. Both experiences were superb. The accommodation is clean, warm and very comfortable as well as being competitively priced against mainstream hotel chains in the area. The food in the pub is exceptional and there is so much of it. The menu is varied and certainly doesn’t do justice to the food which must be seen and tasted to be truly appreciated. Thoroughly recommended and we will be going there again.

Lovely pub with a good selection of beer and plenty of room. Good selection of medium priced food and dog friendly. Very nice decor done with the refurbishment. 6 years on it still looks good and the owners have maintained their produce and welcoming qualities I have eaten here and it delivers good quality. The price may be slightly higher than the next village pub but it's good grub nevertheless. People who stay overnight won'tbe disappointed. Great location for exploring wider area.

We booked to have our wedding night tea here and the family also stayed in the accommodation provided. We had such a warm welcome from the staff, the two males on the front that worked the bar and came to the table to check all was as expected. They were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We ate there the night before the wedding and on the wedding night. Each time we tried a different dish and each time it was marvelous. Cooked to a high standard and visually pleasing set up on the plates. We was a party of five and we didn't have too long to wait for the food even though the pub was busy on the Friday night. Good atmosphere, clean couldn't pick fault with anything even reasonable prices. Highly recommended and if we ever visit these parts again we will definitely come back. Thank you for making our wedding night food the best and thanks for your friendly warm welcome.

This is the hotel with the worst service attitude I have ever stayed in. Due to the mistake of the hotel, they gave me the wrong room. The manager not only didn't change it for me, but also had a very bad attitude,the manager even wanted to kick me out. The room is very old and simple, and there is a small dirty place in my life.

I stumbled across the Temple Inn by happy accident on my way to Glastonbury and it made my day. A proper country village pub at the heart of community, the pub quiz was in full swing when I arrived. The food was delicious, well presented and great value for money. The staff were fantastically friendly and efficient. And the locals were also all very friendly and I even joined a pub quiz team (and we won)z I will most definitely be back and can’t recommend this pub enough.

Booking a table for three over an Easter weekend you wonder how it may be. Well, restaurant was full and busy all night with a friendly but lively (not noisy) atmosphere. On arrival we were given an equally friendly welcome and shown to our reserved table. Menu choice was very good, and the specials board tempting. However, the ladies settled on the Belly Pork and I went for the 10oz Rump steak, cooked ‘blue’. Well, talk about food envy when I saw the Pork Belly, more like t bone stand, huge. With beautifully cooked crackling to finish it off. My steak was cooked to perfection. All the additional vegetables/skin on chips also excellent for all of us. Would love to have tried the desserts menu but taste and portions satisfied us totally. I cannot recommend the restaurant, staff and food highly enough. When we return to visit the area again this will be our first choice. Also have to mention the local Bristol Stout, lovely flavour and colour.

We received the warmest welcome on entering the pub. The waitress was attentive to detail and both the food and wine was stunning. I had the chickpea curry and wow, it has got to be at the top of my favourite curry’s list to date! (I am not a veggie by the way) the popadom was freshly cooked, rice fragrant and the curry had a delicious warmth running through it, the home made onion badji was also a hit, it really was exceptionally tasty and the cheesecake was very nice too. The only problem I encountered, and I have to state this is a big one, was the chef refused to come home and be my personal chef, other than that everything else was exceptional. Both Managers were very warm, attentive and welcoming. I will be returning……….if they will have me! :D

Booked this hotel for my business trip as our site is less than a mile from here. My room was modern, clean, warm and just the right size for myself. The rooms were in a separately building from the pub but literally a 30 second walk. They have 2 electric charging spots and will give you tokens which count as an hour to charge your car. The atmosphere, scenery and food in the pub were great. Had the Pizza with Pepperoni and Jalapenos the first night, followed by the Breakfast Bap the next morning. Then second night, the Sticky Asian Chicken Thighs with the Bacon & Salsa Cheesy Fries. Followed by the healthier breakfast smoothie, the following morning. The staff were kind, friendly and polite during my stay. Would recommend for all to stay here

Food portions are very generous, delicious and nicely presented! Great Vegan & drinks options too! Added bonus was the evening entertainment by a local musician and we ended up dancing and singing the night away to the loved classics! The next morning the team had also brough in a TV for us to enjoy watching the Women’s World Cup! Oh and the rooms are spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. Great shower and super comfy bed!

So we arrived at this cute and very well designed pub/B&B and greeted by a very friendly manager. We were shown to our rooms which is a separate building (purpose built) feet away. Whoever come up with the plans for a couple of houses and then a B&B block needs an award, it’s very sympathetic and works well. Rooms wise - they’re small but perfectly appointed. In fact I’m quite surprised how well they do work with what’s in there. As you enter you have a big wardrobe/tea coffee area and then a shelf under the tv and bed side tables so lots of place to put stuff. The room left to walk around is ‘tight’ I.e. no more space than to simply walk to your sleeping side but you somehow don’t need more. The bathroom is cosy, well designed with a nice powerful shower!! Breakfast was my only slight disappointment. There were no cereals or pastries on offer only a variety of hot options such as full English, avacado and egg on toast etc. I had the full English and it was a tale of two halves. The poached eggs were perfect and the sausage quite nice too but the bacon was leather tough - I kind of felt like it was cooked for last nights burger and didn’t get used so warmed up in the microwave. The mushroom was tasty yet very garlicky for a breakfast. That said it tasted good and the staff were pleasant.

Our experience last week definitely didn’t match what some are saying here. Perhaps we should have realised it was going to go downhill when we looked for the entrance and a young girl came out and said it’s the door on the end. It wasn’t! It was around the corner but hey ho.Then when we entered the two young staff behind the bar didn’t acknowledge us so we asked if we could have a light lunch. We asked where to sit and the girl muttered not on one table but which one wasn’t clear.We sat down and a young lad asked what we wanted to drink. I asked what bitters they had and it was clear he had no idea about them (taste and strength) so I went to the bar to see for myself. The local beer I chose was good however.After we had started our drinks we were given a menu and saw that there were no sandwiches which is what we really wanted. Perhaps this place, or the chef, feels making a sandwich is beneath his culinary skills? To give a balanced review the garlic mushrooms and an egg on a bloomer, which my partner had, were very tasty. But I ordered the nachos which came as a plate of sticky goo (guacamole and cheese) gluing together loads of tasteless nachos. Not only was it poorly presented but it made it incredibly messy to eat. So we left.I can understand if a pub wants to profess to be a gastro pub with gastro pub prices (in which case change the menu) but if so then get/train staff who know what they are doing and have some understanding of customer service and attention to detail. A pity as this could have a lot of potential. But often the little things and attention to detail are what leave the lasting impression.

We have decided to stop eating at the ‘same old favourites’ locally and to try some other pubs we’ve never been to. Years ago the Temple Inn used to be a tough local which you wouldn’t set foot in. Boy how that has changed. Fantastic decor and friendly staff complemented the excellent food. Not cheap, but well worth the price in my opinion. A slightly awkward complaint about the side order was dealt quickly and with without fuss and bother and didn’t spoil the experience. We will definitely return when we are looking for somewhere to eat with friends.

Food was lovely, I had a chicken burger and my brother had fishcakes. No complaints at the quality although the serving size was small for the price - it was almost £15 for a main course so would have thought they could have done a side salad or something with the burger rather than just a pile of chips.Peach cheesecake for pudding was amazing.£2.50 for a half of lemonade seemed extortionate. Went somewhere else not too far away where the same drink was only £1.50. When the main courses are already expensive, drinks prices like this is just another kick in the teeth.There is also only about 8 parking spaces for the whole pub, because houses have been built on the land which used to include the pub car park and garden (no doubt to make the owners a lot of money). We had to park on a side street and walk back which was ok for us, but wouldn't be good if you had elderly people on your group.

A (pre-booked) group of twelve adults and children visited for Sunday roast on 1 August. We received a warm welcome from Adam, Lee and their team and attentive service throughout. Between us we had beef, chicken, pork and the veggie option. Some were children's meals which were good value with an ice cream and drink included. All thoroughly enjoyed and indeed the beef was as good as any pub meal I have eaten. Pork was a generous slice with crispy crackling. My wife was particularly impressed with the vegan pavlova and one guest declared the cheese board a 'triumph'. Should we return to the area we will definitely re-visit.

I’m not from the area and I went in on Wednesday with family for a meal and to watch the England vs Denmark game. Was highly impressed, food and drink was amazing and the staff were lovely too. Highly recommend.

Visited with friends. Uncomfortable as no windows open. I asked if I could open one but transpired that all windows painted shut. Given the importance of ventilation in helping to prevent Covid I was both uncomfortable and disappointed. The only ventilation was fro one door.Also waitress handled my credit card but didn't offer hand sanitizer when she returned it which really should be second nature at the moment Food very salty. Far more salt was poured over the food before serving than was palatable.

Wow! This is a little hidden gem! The moment we walked in the staff were super friendly, attentive and nothing was to much, even with a full pub due to the football being on. Much appreciated! We had dinner, drinks and breakfast the food was incredible which was delicious. The room we stayed in were super modern, clean and comfortable, again great! Thank you guys for a lovely staff and we will be back ‍♀️ Sophie & Jacob

Fantastic stay at The Temple Inn. Cosy, and perfectly clean room to settle down in after a day walking in the Mendips. Beautiful food, breakfast and evening menu were both fantastic, and the staff could not have been more attentive. We felt very welcome and well looked after throughout the entire stay. We'll definitely be staying again.

We came here last minuet spontaneously at 9pm after a day at a beach. The staff were fantastic- Accommodating and friendly right from the get go, we ordered our dinner on the journey as the kitchen closed at 9pm. They came out especially and found us a car parking space. We decided to have a long night with a fair few drinks, the bar closes at 11 but they continued to let us drink to way later and even found us some playing cards. The room was beautiful and had everything you could possibly need, although I say a bit small but was perfect for one night stay.The food was excellent, what I call posh. Tasty and full of flavour with decent size portions. Overall this was a great friendly stay and I recommend to anyone.

We had a family reunion post lockdown for my Dad’s special birthday yesterday. We were made to feel really welcome and the food was amazing. Thank you to everyone at Temple Inn for helping to make Dad’s day extra special.

We were lucky enough to stumble upon this gem while on holiday. All of our party's meals were delicious and the customer service was outstanding with lots of personal recommendations and the ability to adapt dishes. The team couldn't do enough for us - we're only gutted that this isn't our local and is nearly 200 miles from us so we can't pop back!

What a fantastic place to stay overnight and eat at. Completely dog-welcoming, great hosts who actually do make time to sit and chat to you. Lovely interior, so clean! Great supporting staff and finally a fantastic chef - Chef Boni. He made two dog-loving vegans very happy people. Food was so tasty - probably one of the best vegan dishes we have tasted. This place is a gem - lucky locals. Wish it was in our village - other pubs / inns take note, this is how you do it! London's loss - Temple Clouds gain.

We eat here on almost a weekly basis and we’re never disappointed. The food is excellent and varies regularly. Specials really are that - special. If Cocktails are your thing then you’ll be delighted at what you find. If all you want is a nice pint of fresh local room temperature flat beer you’ll be equally as delighted. The guys that run the place work as a team and each of them excel at what they do. Don’t be guided by any reviews prior to the middle of 2020 as there were intermittent owners none of whom made a go of it. Along came the Three Musketeers in the middle of a pandemic and the signs are that they’re enormously successful.Perhaps TripAdvisor will drag itself into the 21st Century and get rid of the old reviews. On the other hand however perhaps it’s so patently obvious that this it the right thing to do they will need a few more months or even years to respond to feedback they’ve had!Well done chaps! Keep it up!

Stayed here for a night after eating an amazing meal in the restaurant. The room was clean , well equipped and comfortable. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly . And the food was , as said , amazing . The signature dish of slow cooked beef rib was succulent , tasty and the most amount of meat I've had on a plate. Lovely home made puddings, which I struggled to finish after my dinner. And a great full English in the morning . Will defo be back

We had an absolutely wonderful meal this evening and had the pleasure of meeting the chef , Bonni. After expressing an interest in the Artichoke main dish he came out, unexpectedly, with a taster and it was AMAZING. So flavoursome and varied in texture. He then spoke to us a little bit about his passion for his profession, and it clearly shows in the food. We also had the strawberry and elderflower gin cheesecake which was super creamy and fresh!We genuinely can not wait to go again and taste more things that Bonni has created. I highly recommend eating here and trying something that Bonni has invented with his culinary skills and love of food. Hollie and Steve.

Prior to lock down this was favourite pub. It had great atmosphere, great food and reasonably priced. We thought we would try and support it and its takeaway. But it has gone majorly down hill. We had a pie a curry and chips. For the price of £27.50. In itself not the cheapest but based on previous experience we thought fair. When we got the food home however. The two portions of chips were so small that they barely filled half the box. The pie itself had a microwaved feel and the curry was like a muddy water.I hope that this was a one off for us but I will not be trying it again.

My wife and I did an overnighted here last night enroute to the south coast. We arrived really late due to a long drive down from Cheshire and they stayed on to welcome us and a lovely warm welcome it was despite the time, sorry again guys :) The Location and setting is beautiful and when we opened the blind next morning, what we thought in the dark was a car park was a stunning courtyard, beautiful. The room was spotless and had everything we could need but the breakfast was absolutely top marks. All finished off by the really friendly and very welcoming staff throughout - superb guys and top marks given you only recently took over the place, you will be a huge success..Top marks and a certainty for us next time we are in the region, judging by the superb breakfast, next time I’m coming for dinner that’s for sure!

Great location on the two tunnels cycle path and rich in railway history. Attractive interior and outside seating area. Menu and range of Real Ales (my obsession ) are OK but not outstanding and service can be a little hit and miss, but always friendly. Well worth a visit (and a re-visit). Revisit : menu and range of ales has improved under new management and service is now much more friendly and attentive. On the up!
