The Tynte Arms Inn in Sedgemoor

Stumbled across this place and is now my favourite place!!!!! The place bought a smile to my face as soon as I walked in! Yes it's old in every sense of the word but it bought back memories of going to such places as a kid with my parents. Wish there were more places like this and less of the pretentious ones that pretend to be something they are not. Home cooked food by the lovely landlady and amusing banter with the landlord. Wish it was closer to become my local!!!!!

Good home cooked food at a very reasonable price. Especially from the Lunch Menu. Pâté on Toast with Red Onion Chutney. A Trio of Cumberland Sausages on Mash Steak and Stilton Pie on Mash Fish and Chips Lemon 🍋 Panacotta Summer Fruits Cheesecake Bit of a hidden gem as most people just drive by. We will be definitely will be back.

The Tynte Arms Inn, Enmore, Bridgwater. First visit to this hidden gem for lunch. A good selection of food for starters, mains and desserts, in a cosy, rustic country pub. The food was delicious home made and very good value. We will be coming back again.

Excellent food, excellent service, been there for years, really tradional.

I was so thankful to this couple. I called them Thursday to see if they had availability in their accommodation for that weekend (I was travelling to a glamping site to spend the weekend on a hen do… and found out I was pregnant :-l ). Thankfully Peter the landlord, and his lovely wife, were very accommodating and sorted me out with a last minute place to stay, giving me some respite from the drunken hens lol. They even done me a deal on my 2 night stay, which was lovely of them. The accommodation is basic, but warm, inviting, comfortable, and very clean. It had everything I needed for a weekend stay. I was a bit apprehensive at the thought of coming back and fore in the dark on my own, but was soon put at ease, and they took great care of me. Peter even called me Saturday morning to check how my stay went and if I needed anything. I also noticed my room was also cleaned again on my return Saturday afternoon, which was a nice touch. The room had a TV, coffee and tea station, wardrobe with hangers, lots of space, and a lovely sized bathroom. I was very pleased with my stay, and on speaking with my husband when I arrived back in sunny Wales I think we will be visiting again :-)

Very old school, like visiting grandma's house

Called in by chance after some hill walking. A very traditional setting with a very laid back atmosphere. The owners and staff were delightful. The food was excellent. Proper home cooked food prepared with love as if they were eating it for themselves. The portion size was bang on and brilliantly priced. Will definitely return.

My friend and I have cycled to the pub a few times for lunch now and the landlord is very welcoming and food is delicious

Visited today with two friends, I can honestly say that this was probably the worst Sunday lunch I have ever had. The chicken was on the bone and looked like it had been boiled, so I asked if I could have pork instead. The veg was microwaved to death and tasted funky. The desert, well what can I say, none of us could eat this either. The landlord was so rude, making digs that because we were smokers, this was the reason we could not eat their food. He was asked to stop but didn’t. How they are still in business is beyond me. AWFUL PLACE

Before reading on, please bear in mind: It turns out that our experience wasn't unique, so yours probably won't be either... Having left Minehead in biblical levels of flooding, me, my wife, and our infant daughter made our way over the moors in challenging conditions and found ourselves in desperate need of sustenance and warmth. Driving through Enmore, we spied the glowing windows of a village inn, The Tynte Arms. With relief at the prospect of a warm and dry setting in which to take lunch, we pulled into the car park and then made our way across the road, huddled beneath a too-small umbrella, and entered The Tynte Arms. First impressions were of a very traditional pub that was some years past a needed refurbishment but, partial to the charms of a old-fashioned hostelry, I thought this was likely an aesthetic that worked for the establishment and took it in my stride (along with the musty aroma). However, I then noticed that the clientele had all the diversity of a Conservative Party Conference and were of an age bracket that made one think they'd happened upon the early-bird sitting of a Saga cruise ship's canteen. Nonetheless, we made our way to the bar, where we stood for some time before being "greeted" by the landlord. "Why the quotation marks?", I hear you question, dear reader. Well, "greeted" is a rather generous term for a person walking into your eyeline and looking at you as though you've just taken a dump in their porch. Especially when that person's sole objective is to be hospitable. Eventually, we gave in and broke the awkward silence by asking if we could order food. "No," replied the landlord, "we're fully booked". "Okay.", said we, glancing (confused) around the half full premises with no reservation cards in sight, "Can you recommend anywhere else, nearby?" It was at this point, unknown to him, that this landlord likely delivered his best service by recommending the Enmore Inn, found further along the road toward Bridgwater. Oh - he also let us have a wee, which was very gracious. In summary, visit The Tynte Arms if you're: 1) Out on a "Hot Fuzz" themed weekend: You can drop in here for a real flavour of Sandford's "Crown" pub and be told to bugger off for the "greater good". 2) In need of another way to highlight the exceptional service offered a mile down the road, simply pop in here and the landlord will oblige by raising any other publican's standards of service to god-like in comparison. 3) A masochist with a penchant for awful hospitality and dated decor.

Owner very welcome but sadly it stops at that . Exmoor ale pint had a strong taste of vinegar , chose a Guiness for free sadly this also tasted of vinegar ( looking at google this shows the lines possibly has bacteria and not cleaned out properly and dangerous to your health ) . £14 for 2 courses was just about ok but not that impressed . Lovely to go back to a place that hasn’t changed for 30 years but it smells musty . Sadly I will not be going back , also they they turned the lights out to kick us out but online shows they are open all day ??

Brilliant pub in a nice tucked away area. Owner was very welcoming and kind, 5* service. We really enjoyed our drinks and meal there and could not believe the value for money, contrary to some of the reviews on Google. All I can say is, take little notice of all the bad reviews. After all it is the Daily mail that they’ve been reading, known for it’s truth and reason…

Absolutely lovely food, the best food we have ever had at a pub in fact. Coming from two people who are always trying new pubs! Proper homemade, high quality food. We came here after staying close by for a holiday and not disappointed at all. Brilliant service and very friendly landlord, couldn’t do enough for us. Only downside is that we wished we were staying in the area longer to pay another visit! I can see the rating of this place has gone down after some bad publicity however I am very pleased we still went here and saw past these reviews as it was brilliant. We were worried it would be a very ‘local’ venue where you walk in and feel unwelcome however was the opposite of this. We felt very at home and welcomed. Left feeling very full and the value was excellent. If we are ever in the area again we will have no hesitation in going back and will be sure to recommend to people we know.

Very interesting historical pub with nice tasty homemade food at good prices. Nice and cosy inside and the landlord was knowledgeable of the local area

Excellent food and excellent hosts. We’ve been here many times and NEVER had anything other than a great experience. Don’t believe the people who’ve never been!

Amazing, mouth watering meal in a lovely, proper pub in beautiful surroundings. Can't wait to go there again. Extensive menu of home cooked food, deserts to die for...

I can’t believe that people are leaving nasty reviews about this pub which they haven’t visited based on a previous reviewer’s experience. Shame on you. Unless you experience something first hand you have No right. We had a lovely snack here and the host was the most delightful gentleman. Charming, funny and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was lovely and very reasonable. In my experience there is usually another side to a bad review and it very often involves a rude and entitled customer who doesn’t like being told no.

Never been, NEVER GOING! Disgusting treatment of a blind veteran and his Guide dog. SHAME ON YOU!

Not a nice kind place staff refusing to serve a blind man because he had his guide dog with him, so shameful and against disability I will refuse to visit and so should everyone else

Wont serve a man but with a guide dog .shame on you . absolutely dreadful.what excuse do you have .it's so upsetting

BLACK THIS PUB REASON: prevented a Blind Veteran access to the pub because he had a GUIDE DOG...which is againgst the Law. Hope he makes amends and Holds a charity raising event for the Veterans and Guide dogs Association.

Horrified to learn a blind veteran with a guide dog was refused service at Tynte Arms Inn. I wouldn't visit a place who treated someone like this.

Not worth it go to a nicer place

You messed up by not allowing a Blind Army Veteran and his guide dog to sit in for a Pint. BOYCOTT THIS PLACE. And be lucky to still have it standing.

Disgraceful behaviour from the landlord towards a blind man and his guide dog. Fingers crossed he goes out of business very soon.

Kicking an army veteran out because he has his guide dog with him....AVOID AVOID

Don't go here, they refuse to serve veterans with guide dogs

Ignorant pub as they don't know the law of the land and discriminated against a blind man and his Guide Dog.

Avoid this place like the plague, landlord is a rude obnoxious nitwit!

Landlord is a horrible person, avoid

Disgraceful business. How dare you refuse a blind veteran service with his guide dog.

Just google the pub and see how they treated a blind veteran with a guide dog. Give this place a wide berth. Disgusting behaviour-couldn’t even apologise for their actions in refusing a guide dog entry.

Don’t take your blind dog saw him refuse a customer with one fool

Do not use this pub they break the law for refusing to serve blind owner of guide dog

Discriminated against as not allowed in with my guide dog.

This pub is not the best place to visit for a night out. Plenty of other pubs around with better service.

Absolutely disgusted at the attitude of the licensee who refused me access with my guide dog regardless he was breaking the law. He said they didn't accept animals including guide dogs and told me I am welcome to prosecute him. I left the Tynte Arms have no intention of ever returning and fully intend to follow this through.

Visited for an evening meal . Good food. Freshly cooked. Sort dietary requirements too

Absolutely wonderful poy!! Had 2 course lunch and it was excellent. Lovely traditional pub. Will be back!!

I met some friends here for lunch. It is a lovely pub in a great location. The food was really good qnd service was friendly.

Not recommended..poor quality beer...poor reception.

A typical country Pub serving a good selection of home cooked fresh meals

Proper country pub. Great food at a reasonable price, just what I was looking for. A couple of decent ales and a car park. Will be going back

Ahh lovely . Warm welcome ..lovely food and friendly atmosphere

Amazing pub with outstanding food

Great Sunday roast, fine pints, good wine service and wine list, table service very straightforward.

Very disrespectful and unfriendly owner who dislikes children. A very unpleasent experience. Avoid this place!

This is a really great pub, highly recommended. The landlord was friendly and the Sunday roast was delicious. This is a proper traditional pub and was exactly what we were after - thank you!

Such a lovely pub. The landlord couldn't do enough for us. We both had fish for our meals and it was beautifully cooked. Would highly recommend.

Came with extended family and their kids for our daughters 5th birthday. Loved it. Great countryside location

Bizarre.went in at lunch for a pint and chips. Asked if they could do chips - the response "we don't do that kind of thing here". Odd a country pub can't manage to provide chips. When I ordered the exmoor ale...though being on the tap...barman went around the back and brought back what looked like dish water and subsequently tasted like it. Hope the plant outside that I watered with the entire pint is survived. Won't be back. Reviews show a common theme...most bizarre place.

Came across this lovely village pub while out for a drive Owner very helpful will definitely be going back to try the menu Can't wait highly recommend that you pay a visit ☆☆☆☆☆

Closed during a time advertised as open

Great food, great drink and a friendly welcome. What's not to like?

Quintessential very English club. Just had a drink. Very quiet.

Unbelievably rude and discriminating landlord. Tried to book for Sunday lunch with my sister and her family. After asking if I was one of their regulars (not yet but I could be, I am local) I was told we were not welcome as we had children with us, apparently they are not ‘big into all that, children and dogs’. Perhaps he shouldn’t be running a pub!

Have been to the Tynte Arms on numerous occasions with clients and have found Peter a great host and a gentleman. And the food has always been excellent. .

Invited by friends, also Marie Curie fundraising volunteers, for a Friday lunch and to thank the landlord for his good support for Marie Curie.

we stopped for a drink ended up having dinner . choice was extensive , 4 different meals all good quality and reasonable price.

Booked to stay at The Tynte Arms for one night and booked all 4 rooms for friends too, as we were staying in Enmore for a wedding. I can honestly say that from the first moment I spoke to the owner Peter, he was extremely helpful and super friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. It’s a Great traditional pub, with spacious, cosy traditional accommodation. We had a fantastic breakfast the next morning also. It was a brilliant choice for breakfast and the full English was delicious. I would highly recommend staying here for an evening and treating yourself to some of the great food. Bother Peter and Cath are such friendly warm people, who go out of their way to make your visit a great one. Highly recommend this lovely pub.

We had arranged to meet some friends here for lunch. On arrival I sat at the bar waiting for service and when the landlord appeared he seemed perplexed. When I said we were there to have some lunch he replied that he couldn't do lunch today. This was despite the fact that the pub already had a few visitors eating lunch and there were menu boards all over the place advertising....lunch. There were even welcome boards outside, advertising....lunch. Plus, the smell of deep-fried food was wafting into the bar area from the kitchen. I was so taken aback by the reluctance to serve us that I didn't really know what to say and we quickly left. It was a very awkward and frosty conversation and despite the fact I love to support traditional local pubs I could not honestly recommend this place to anybody, A great pity.

Would rate 0 if I could. Landlord is horrible I have no idea how he makes any business. We were turned away at the door since we weren’t local

Excellent lunch and very friendly

Absolutely lovely food and service, best meal for a very long time.

Went for an evening meal with my wife. Have not been for a while but exactly the same as I remember. Quaint and homely surroundings with warm and friendly owners. Had lamb shank and steak pie and both were amazing with a wonderful side selection of vegetables. Sweets were just as good, homemade and delicious. Very good selection. Will be back again soon for definite.

Shockingly rude landlord. No wonder the locals avoid it.

Horrific place with amazingly rude owners. Rude to my wife for asking to order food for our children. Avoid at all costs!

My aunt and I had Sunday dinner here, the food was outstanding, the pub was a real traditional gem. Landlord and landlady were really friendly, and we could not fault the food. I would highly recommend eating here.

Lovely old style pub great Sunday roast

went here when we stayed at Secret Valley very welcoming landlord and landlady , excellent service very clean and good covid precautions the food was excellent well presented and quick to the table from a very good menu. We would definitely go there again

Great place to enjoy a nice peaceful meal and a beer, landlord and his wife are just the nicest people you could meet, our favourite place to visit.

As always, a wonderful place to eat with true home cooking, my favourite place ever.

Lovely food attentive owners without being over attentive food all homemade very tasty would recommend looking forward to next visit

Booked a table here after walking nearby on a Sunday lunch. Very welcoming, traditional country pub. Only the Sunday roast menu available 2 courses for 12, bargain! Variety of veg, ed cabbage, cabbage with bacon, courgettes in some tomato sauce, carrots and swede, roast and mashed potatoes, very hot plates. Desserts were good, cheesecake looked very impressive.Lovely little find

We had a delicious evening meal. Lovely pates and salmon mousse to start, then trout, steak pie, lamb shank, scampi and a chicken dish. Lots of fish and veggie choices. Desserts to die for. All homemade. Welcoming atmosphere. Good beer and wine.

Great food and the owners are really lovely people.

Wife had sea bass perfectly cooked. I had steak pie the nicest ever. Plates were hot veg was nicely presented and cooked. The menu was varied and vegan options available. Pub was cosy and clean nice “ole worldly “atmosphere Toilets clean and the owner was friendly.Have already decided another visit. Well done the Tyne Arms

Very good for a early Saturday morning @ 9.30. I was there as a driver for some elderly people. No alcohol taken be any one.

Lovely atmosphere and very friendly

I always have a great meal there i do live the sizzling steak menu top notch,my wife and i, when we get the chance to go for lunch during the day, which doesn't happen very often as i am normally at work, will always choose to go here.

Don’t miss this wonderful pub/restaurant, we have! Not been for a while due to moving out of the area but glad we revisited, same lovely welcome, great home made food and fantastic value for money, so don’t miss it, make it a definite for when your next in the area.

Another fantastic meal at Tynte arms, Steak was cooked to perfection. The salmon tasted supreme. The staff were friendly and helpful.

This pub is lovely inside, really nice and well maintained. The food is basic pub food but nicely done. We had a Sunday roast and it was tasty and the veg that came with it was great! A wide selection.We really enjoyed ourselves and felt the pub its self was a beautiful quaint environment. Landlord polite and attentive. Would recommend but it’s a small country pub so don’t expect loads of menu alternatives etc.

We just popped in for a cuppa and I love this pub. It’s so old and I think it’s refreshing to go to a pub that isn’t a gastro pub. It’s quirky and quintessentially English. Food all looked amazing - yes it is all on chalk boards but I think it’s nice to explore the pub by reading boards.

This pub is located in the Quantock Hills with superb views all around. The pub is quaint with good parking. A good menu and a very sociable landlord. Lots of pictures on the walls and plenty of old car magazines to look at.

We are townies from Birmingham but no strangers to rural pubs in Somerset but this must have been the most unfriendly welcome we have ever received. The (landlord?) man behind the bar didn't say a word to us, despite my cheery hello. We were going to stay for a meal but the atmosphere was so unwelcoming that we left hungry. And it smelt of stale fags. A shame because we were really looking forward to it.

We had a meal here on a Thursday evening, We both had the steak sizzler and they were gorgeous! The bread butter pudding and apple crumble were also very good. Definitely will be returning again.

Stopped off on a summers eve for drinks and some food ... asked about a menu and was told just on boards , asked if we could have a mixture of starters and sides but was abruptly told “we were in the wrong place “ the old man behind the bar was very rude and I would never recommend this place to anyone .... pubs often do a mixture of food ... it wasn’t the fact they wouldn’t it was the guys attitude towards us ... no wonder there was only 2 people eating in there on a Friday eve ...

We booked this lovely Pub for one night as we needed somewhere to stay in the area. After we booked I read some of the negative reviews but thought how bad can it be its only one night. I am so glad we ignored them. We had a lovely warm reception from Peter the Landlord a comfortable room with everything we needed and dinner in the evening was brilliant. Peter was on hand the next morning to serve us a beautiful cooked english breakfast. So do not read the negative reviews see for yourself.

Loved my experience at the Tynte. The husband and wife running it were very friendly and helpful, and the food excellent! Lamb cooked to perfection. Cosy friendly atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Called here as went to collect our Christmas tree wish we never bothered un inviting and dirty even the pub up the road isn't much better now with his daughter running it avoid this area the pub in spaxton is so much nicer!!!

This is the second time that we have dined here and the experience did not disappoint, the landlord was welcoming the ale was good and the food that we ordered was served promptly and was well cooked and hot.

Midweek lunch what can I say rice cold curry warm, poperdom was stale and soft, therefore left almost all of it, my partner had burnt Yorkshire puddings we were expecting a large yorkshire but it was 2 small ones with sausage and fried potatoes which I feel was left over from a Sunday roast extremely disappointed will deffo not be returning

We walked into a very frosty reception and it didn't improve for the rest of the visit. The landlord was extremely unfriendly and made some very rude comments.

Cenamos aquí. Sólo otros siete comensales. Tomó un tiempo para ser recibidos y nos llevaron a nuestra mesa. Un menú bastante amplio y a un precio razonable. Para empezar, tuve la morcilla, tocino con salsa stilton. La morcilla estaba apenas tibia y la salsa insípida, sin pizca de Stilton. Mi esposa tenía la sopa de verduras, que era caliente y sabrosa. Para los platos principales que tenía la trucha envueltas en tocino. Filetes de trucha pequeña envueltas en tocino, pero de nuevo sólo templada pero llego con un buen puré de patatas, salsa uso y verduras. Mi esposa tenía el pato, que estaba bien. La decoración interior es de moda y el lugar aparece en la necesidad de una buena limpieza.

This is a local pub serving food and drink in a small village in Somerset. We went with two friends for an evening meal and were disappointed. The food was overcooked - especially the fish dish. I won't be returning.

En primer lugar debo decir que no soy un verdadero local estar algunos a 6 millas de las Armas Tynte.

What a horrible place this is. Cold food that tasted off. Very dirty inside. Old man and his wife running the show. Ughhhhh

Si pudiera dar no había estrellas, este tiene que ser el más indignado que he estado en toda mi vida. Es difícil dar una crítica, ya que estaban de servicio en el mismo momento que entramos en el pub. El propietario se levantó con los brazos plegados y pidió "en el pub equivocado?". Nos quedamos en el desilusionarse ignorancia completa del hombre. Que decir que me cortaria es insuficiente. Evitar a toda costa si estás buscando apoyo de negocios locales. Este pub no quiere su negocio y francamente de la ausencia de cualquier persona, que supongo que no lo necesita. Como un propietario yo honestamente puedo decir que me horrorizados por la recepción, o la ausencia, desde el hombre.
