I visited the Traveller’s Rest last night for dinner with my boyfriend and another couple. The staff were really welcoming and friendly and were patient with us when choosing our orders. We all had main courses and desserts and everything that was served was of excellent standard. The strawberry cheesecake was particularly light and delicious. We cannot wait to return to try some of the other options on the menu!

We visited the Travellers Rest for a meal last night and the food was fantastic. Between us, we had a wide range of food from the menu and each dish was delicious, cooked to perfection, with generous portion sizes. The staff were so lovely and friendly and made us feel really welcome, even in these strange times of eating out with masks etc. I rarely leave reviews, but we had such a lovely time, with fantastic food and service that I couldn’t not. If you are thinking of eating out, you will not be disappointed if you visit The Travellers Rest.

They have done the covid precautions good and the food is ok. Unfortunately we were let down by the fact we had 2 kids meals which are not cheap at £7.50 each only to find out when we got home that the kids should of had a drink and a dessert with there meal but no one told us this or offered anything which was bad of the staff. New Menu is limited in choice and prices have gone up. Not great value anymore. Will not be rushing back.Great location though and good outside space.

The landlady and the staff didn't welcome us at all, I felt as though they were doing us a favour, yet I've been there lots of times ( never again, from now on). The menu was very basic, whereas before there was a wider choice. I had fish and chips, the batter was a bit soggy and unappetising, the chips were sparse and the "clotted cream" ice cream turned out to be your common or garden vanilla variety. There wasn't any "Did you enjoy your meal?" and "Thank you, come again". I'll cross this pub off my list.

Came here as a group of 5, and had a great time here. Safety measures in place were excellent, tables were set out so that you were safely out of everyone else's way without taking away the atmosphere. Staff were all friendly and happily going along with the rubbish jokes being made by some of the group! Food was excellent - I had the double cheeseburger with bacon which was great! Followed by the brownie, which is the BEST brownie I've ever had!! Will definitely be returning.

Came here for dinner a few nights ago as we have just moved to the village. We wanted to try out all the pubs and made the most out of the eat out to help out scheme. We were greeted at the entrance and were asked to sanitise our hands and were shown to our table. We asked if we could sit outside as the view on the decking is incredible! This was fine with the staff however it looked as if it was going to start raining just after we had received our drinks. We moved inside and felt very comfortable eating our food inside the restaurant due to the strict one way system in place and the reminder to sanitise our hands after coming in from outside. The food was classic home cooked pub food but was excellent! The steak was cooked perfectly and was delicious! We will be making more trips to The Travellers Rest in the future due to the lovely staff who work there and great food and views!! Would like to say a special thank you for making us feel relaxed and being so attentive :)

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and I felt very safe visiting a pub for the first time with an elderly relatively. However I would think twice about going back as the food was awful. Firstly, my glass of wine looked like a glass of water and tasted like it had been diluted. The Sunday lunch was terrible, the beef was over cooked and completely tasteless, the veg and potatoes were frozen and were also tasteless. The gravy tasted like gravy granules and was very thin. I was very disappointed as the setting is amazing and with a little more effort could have been so much better. I really wouldn’t have minded paying more for a decent meal.

We stopped here for a late lunch today. Service was great and staff were taking every precaution in light of COVID (socially distancing, one way system through the pub and table service). We had the nut roast and turkey roast. Both were generous portions and good value. We had a drink out on the terrace before we left, which had a great view of local fields. We will definitely be back in future. Thank you!

Having been here for roast with my family for my birthday the roast dinner wasn’t actually that bad just not enough veg or gravy. And if you wanted more gravy you had to pay what I don’t agree with.. very expensive also.. unsure if I’ll visit again for that reason . Can get better elsewhere for cheaper

We went here early evening as a party of 6. Two couples in their 60’s and the parents of the two brothers (so, nearly 90).Good clear access and understanding staff appreciating that the oldest couple don’t move quickly.Plenty of choice and all the meals were decent quality with helpings that were more than large enough. The desserts were especially good. Happily eat here again.Our only concern would be ensuring we were sat somewhere warm. With the parents against a radiator we were ok but the conservatory wasn’t the warmest.

Visited on Sunday, as a meeting place with my family. There were 18 of us, and I understand that large parties can be a little challenging to deal with as going bar staff and waitresses. We ordered a mixed range of food, including roasts, lasagne, fish and chips and steaks. First of all, I couldn’t understand why the bar staff were bringing drinks to our table one drink at a time. It would’ve looked much more professional to use a tray and bring numerous drinks at one time. Myself and partner had roast beef and it was average. The meat a little tough, Yorkshire puddings definitely not homemade but frozen, a small amount of veg and extremely lacking gravy. At £11.95 I think this is a little steep for what we got. I had a chocolate brownie for pudding and it was very nice, however my uncle’s pudding was somehow forgotten about, even though my auntie had pre ordered every item of our meals including puddings and sides, so we couldn’t understand what the mix up was with this and it was a little disappointing. The woman at the bar seemed unsure how to work the till quickly and efficiently, again far from professional. We wouldn’t return.

We went for a meal friends and booked a table for four at 7:30pm. On entering the pub, we were struck by the VERY bright lighting. It’s a very traditional pub, with typical carpet and furniture of its type, with lights up so high it had the feel of a holiday camp dining room! However, the service was friendly and efficient, and the food was absolutely great, fresh, and piping hot, with plenty of choice! The only thing lacking was any sense of atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend for food and staff but drop a point for ambience, such a shame, because it can make or break a nice occasion.

We were staying close by on 01st and 02nd August for our Golden Anniversary and were looking for a nice pub to eat each evening without having to travel too far. We had booked at a different pub but on the way back to our hotel we were passing this pub and thought we would pop in. Glad we did as when we asked about an evening menu the lovely lady, who I presume was the landlady gave us such a nice welcome and could not do more. Because of her response we got that feeling that this was a nice pub and just up our street so we cancelled the other booking and booked for two nights at The Travellers Rest. We had two great meals in a real friendly pub which was just a stone throw from where we stayed at the Summerhouse B&B. The food is wholesome pub grub, nothing fancy but you will not be disappointed. Great landlady who works her butt off, thanks for two great meals and we will call back again.

I came here for a meal with friends and all started well until the food came out. I ordered a lasagne which came with a bowl of side salad. In the salad I noticed a really long dark hair.. I'm not usually one to complain but when there is hair in my food I felt I had to. There was no apology or anything just an "oh ill get you another one" which I kindly declined. When eating my food and talking with my friends there was an older lady with grey hair behind the bar who rudely said "well it wasnt my hair" whilst looking at me. She quickly looked away when she noticed I had heard her. Really unprofessional in my opinion being made to feel I did something wrong. I won't be returning.

I live locally but never really went here for a meal so thought I would give it a go. i arrived as a walk-in. I found the staff friendly and welcoming and they found us a table straight away. It was table service so we didn't even have to get up to go to the bar. The food arrived it was plentiful as I don't think any of us could even contemplate a pudding as we were all full from the Main. As we left we sat in the car and all agreed we definitely would be coming here again. So would I recommend it to others, yes definitely because as I sit here at home writing this I am still pleasantly full and contented. So all in all a 5 star success.

Probably the nicest thing is the view across the fields to the hills in the distance. They were particularly busy when we ate there early on Friday evening and we had to wait quite a while for our food - but they did apologise. Staff were friendly and the food was OK. For folk like myself who are not wanting massive amounts of food they have a smaller portions menu which includes a choice of two desserts in the price. My small portion was more than adequate and cooked (steak) exactly as ordered. Nothing out of the ordinary but pleasant enough and I’d eat there again if I was in the area.

Food was very good, it felt as though it had been freshly cooked. Smaller meals are available before 9 pm, which suits a lot of people. The views outside are stunning, and it was a lovely sunny evening. Was most of all impressed with how kind and helpful all the staff were.

We were traveling down to Wells from the Midlands, typical bank holiday weekend traffic, we decided to stop for food. Having stopped at a local Toby and walked out due to lack of service. It was nice to walk into the Travellers Rest and be acknowledged straight away. (Thank you Laura). We were seated quickly and told they were busy and there might be a wait. There was a delay in getting the food but once it arrived, it was worth the wait. The menu has a good choice of food, they do a smaller portion choice for people with smaller appetites. Overall the pub is clean and has a friendly atmosphere with great views over looking the valley, it also has a good size car park

To which we agreed and they found us a table, There was a really pleasant atmosphere plus it was spotlessly clean through out, the menu had an ample choice of food plus there was a specials board. You order at the bar and your food is served when ready, we had the steak and ale pie and it was absolutely superb, the meat just melted in your mouth. Couple this with ample portions of piping hot well cooked veg and you are on to a winner. This is a must stop if you are traveling the A37 either to or from Bristol.

Jacket potato was a good size but was under cooked so asked for it to be microwaved more and the cook decided that he would cook a fresh one but the wife had nearly had eaten her meal before it can out and the size was only half of the first one and the waitress said they was struggling to cook it in time. The mixed grill meat was very dry, plates could have been warmed to help keep food hot. The apple crumble wasn't sweet or that crumbly.

This was our third port of call looking for a Sunday roast. Llodeka said it was an hour's wait; the Toby at Whitchurch said half an hour - but had nowhere to park and so we drove on down the A37 and ended up here. We were told that: we could have the dog on the deck; they would bring food out to us there; and it wouldn't be very long. And it wasn't. Both the turkey and the lamb portions were generous [I brought some turkey home for my jacket potato next day!]; the roast potatoes were good; but the vegetables [peas, carrots & cabbage] could have been cooked a little more for my taste - but then I'm old-fashioned! I guess £10.99 for a Sunday roast isn't cheap.

Booked a table for a family gathering.Food was delicious, the staff were really friendly and the back drop of the fields made for a lovely atmosphere.

During the past 7 years we have had enjoyable lunches at the Travellers' Rest whenever we have been in the area from our home in Essex.About 3 weeks ago, I booked a Table for 8 for last Sunday at 12.30. I requested “our” usual long table on the right hand side of the Conservatory adjacent to the window. On arrival, I was told that a party of 20 had taken precedence in the Conservatory, and we were seated at a long table nearer the bar (in previous years, the views from the Conservatory, especially of the goats, have helped to keep our 2 grand children occupied, but with the increase in their ages, this is of less importance).I ordered our drinks and food at the bar, and in spite of the pub being busy, this was served very efficiently by the smart young ladies. All main courses and sweets were SUPERB, and, the general consensus was that the food was even better than previously.Many thanks to Sue and her excellent Team for providing us with our tasty lunches.

My husband and I dropped in here for Sunday lunch today, we were early 12.45, so we're shown to a table promptly by a very friendly member of staff.We ordered our food from the Sunday lunch menu, my husbands beef was nice, if not a little more than medium rare! As i am one of those dreaded veggies! I had the red pepper tart which was a special replacing the Wellington on the menu, well what can I say! Except it had been cooked for about 2 hours and twenty minutes instead of 20 minutes!!! I did ask for extra gravy as the food on my plate was so dry I couldn't make enough saliva to chew it! While we were trying to eat, we were asked 3 times if we needed anything, but when the waitress came to collect our plates, she promptly put my husbands plate on top of my plate, with the offending burnt tart! Giving me no chance to complain and didn't ask the obvious question knowing my answer!I was disappointed and shall not be rushing back.

Well what a discovery, Really nice friendly,helpful staff. We had the xmas menu, The starters were excellent, especially the Shrimps with avocado there was loads on the plate, could have been a main...! However the Goats cheese on beetroot was one of the most enjoyable starters Ive had in a while. The main festive course was fine, Veg was good especially the sprouts, often with a set menu the veg is either undercooked or stodgy. The only disappointment was the dessert xmas pud not as good as the rest of the meal, However the meal was well worth the drive, and we will return to explore the usual menu, apparently the "Local Faggots" are recommended..!

We regularly visit here for meals and it is one of our favourite places to go! The view from within the restaurant along with their car park and garden view is spectacular! There is a large variety of choice on their specials boards along with their main menu. We always visit with my elderly grandparents who love the senior citizens menu which is great value for the money along side getting a dessert with it. The staff are always friendly, including the girl that had only started that day. She came across as very accommodating, checking with other staff members anything she was unsure of. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. A must visit!!

Came across this pub after walking for a few miles looking for a meal. We arrived at 5:20pm; the notice board stated they serve food until 6pm. Finally we had found somewhere! Nope. We were told we were too late. We explained that we had walked a few miles and nowhere else was serving food, but they still refused. 5 minutes later we went back to ask for a telephone directory (another apparent inconvenience) to find they were accepting meal orders from locals. Tourists are clearly not welcome here. Extremely rude, unwelcoming and unfriendly!

Light, Bright and Airy, The Travellers' Rest is well situated with plenty of car parking and a pleasant outlook of entertaining goats in the field. Took my disabled brother for lunch and the food and service was second to none. Home cooked ham and the best rump steak I've had in ages - cooked to perfection. Very large portions and plenty of choice. They also do a pensioners menu as well as children's.Yes we will be visiting it fairly regularly.

I visited the travellers rest with my wife. It's in a lovely location with beautiful views. My wife ordered a jacket potato and it came out very dry and had been microwaved. The staff did refund the money however this put a downer on the evening out.

First time going into the Travellers' Rest was a few days ago, and a rest was what I needed! After a lovely walk around the Mendips, and on the way home, I decided to pop into the Travellers' Rest for a meal. Was greeted by friendly, coherent bar staff who offered me drinks and a menu upon entry. The senior citizens menu has a plethora of meals available and at a great price! I sat down in the conservatory with an phantasmagoric view of the countryside! Food was great, and very tasty. Lovely staff offered me a dessert which was included and it was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit here today and I will almost indefinitely be back.

We stopped after seeing 'senior meal deal ' and was pleasantly surprised, we had main meal , pudding and cold drink for £7.00 . The food was nicely presented and hot but they do stop serving at 2pm. We sat with window view looking over stunning scenery.

3rd time we have been with friends at on a Fri lunchtime and never been let down. Good varied menu and my partner and I chose off the seniors so had extremely good value I can recommend the steak deal at £8:50 inc a sweet scrummy. My friends piri piri chicken off the main menu looked good and as she didn't leave anything must have been good too.

Visited with friends recently for a spot of lunch and a nice drink. We were directed to a table in the conservatory with fantastic views towards the Mendip hills. The food was excellent, and reasonably priced. Will certainly visit again in the not too distant future.

We had a Groupon voucher which had been booked for a long time we had provided the security and groupon voucher numbers prior to arrival which were registered. Upon the day of arrival we were told that we could not enter without a printed coupon, the coupon was on my phone as I do not own an actual physical printer . What £30 down the drain......give me my money back you absolute xxxxxxxxers

Food was mixed - really nice garden burger - however the chicken tikka seemed to be chicken in Heinz tomato soup!The staff were very helpful though and replaced it with an all day breakfast which was fine.

Enticed by good value Groupon voucher, however this was as good as it gets really! Waitresses seemed confused with the voucher- however looking at reviews it doesn't seem like they haven't had previous experience of these. We were shown to our table in a cold, bright conservatory with no one else present- despite this we still had to go to the bar to order the food and had to ask to order drinks and have water for the table. The food was average at best, very basic pub grub. Turning off a few lights and adding a few candles could really enhance the atmosphere. Wouldn't return any time soon.
