The Wellington Arms in Sedgemoor

Good food and good service will go again

The food here was awesome well cooked and the steaks done to your request, the service was fab, the gent who bought out the 20 oz mixed grill proudly asked who had ordered the light snack, this was a recommendation from someone else and I can't recommend it enough.

Great little pub who welcomed a coach full of rugby players... ....thanks Just passing through

Living the dream when tucking into the beef steak’s.

Not been to this pub in 12 years dropped in for quick pint cracking menu superb steaks it is not the Ritz but these days good beer good steak and friendly service at a fair price is better than frill

Best stake I've ever had to eat will be back for sure top landlord and bar staff

We thought we were in a rip off version of "Karen's Diner"!! The Landlord; (we assume he was the landlord, as anyone else would be sacked for their attitude) was just awful. He was rude, unaccommodating & obnoxious. Firstly when I asked where the beer garden was, a remark was made about me getting cancer when advised where this was. Secondly we were quizzed on why my wife needed cutlery (we were sharing the starter, but were surprised we needed to justify our request, also told him this at the time of ordering),this was then was met with a rude response and then our condiments slung across the table at us. When the food was brought out I when was in the toilet, but again the Landlord started going on about me going for a "cancer stick" again, my wife told him he was rude, to which he replied he wasn't. (This was no way banter, my wife had told him he was being rude and just tried to condone it). The steak was OK, the chips were undercooked and hard. All in all a very bad experience. If we had have been within walking distance to where we were staying we would have simply left after the 1st comment (who wants to be judged on a night out). Save your money and go somewhere that welcomes you, rather than leaves you feeling uncomfortable & judged!!

That was bloody lovely proper food fantastic price very friendly will definitely return highly recommended

Not a restaurant. but a proper English pub. Great food , good beer.and friendly locals .and occasionally the grumpy landlord. which is all part of the charm of the place .love it.

Landlord Steve pulled out all the stops for a 60th birthday party Sunday Roast. Absolutely brilliant meal and how he managed the catering for this, for 30+ people, single handed is nothing short of amazing! Lovely Lucy provided the drinks service with good humour and a smile.

The Wellington Arms has no airs and graces a small pub with good food and good beer. If you want gastro pub food this is not for you. Great simple pub grub, big portions. Don't miss the steam puddings, absolutely fabulous.

Lovely food great company and very clean

Delicious and hearty homemade food. A very good choice with a fast, friendly service and excellent value for money.

Went there for a simple meal as we passed by, got burgers 🍔 and chips. Think steaks or curry would have been a far better choice.

Haven't ever been inside as we went in the shop next door

What a great pub! We were staying at the nearby caravan CL site, popped in for a drink on a Friday evening, and returned the following night for dinner. Booked a table,glad we did as it turned out fairly busy. Food was amazing, and spot on! Superb value for money, the landlord/chef has a fantastic character and really makes the pub what it is. Great pub serving great food. Will definitely return.

Saturday night friendly welcome, great food. Thank you. What a find.

Went to weston for the weekend from the midlands had a meal here really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. proper olde world pub with a friendly service. Highly recommended.

Food was plentiful Quality was good Service ok Cost was good

Visited here last night! Wow amazing the food was gorgeous! The service was great and we felt really welcome! Will absolutely return when we are back in the area!

Ate here tonight while on holiday. The best steak I've had in a long time. Proper pub ,friendly people, I would definitely recommend 👌

We are regulars to the Welly and go for the steaks. We haven't had a bad one and they are cooked to perfection. We always have our steaks medium rare and they are. Many restaurants seem to cook steak medium to well done, but always medium rare at the Welly.

I didn't want to leave a good review because it would get more busy. P.S. if you like, we'll done steak, and you'll get abused in a good way. The staff are class

Great food, drink & banter & a short walk from Acacia farm camping

We are staying at the campsite around the corner went in for a few drinks on the first night and was made to feel welcome, booked a table for the next night, had the 2 on one plate(16oz) rump steak, best stake I've had and very well priced at £18 had loads of chips, mushrooms, peas and homemade onion rings, would highly recommend this place for food and drink, if we didn't live so far away we would be back .

Great place to stop for a pint while you wait for the bus

A small and unassuming pub that serves good-sized portions of proper pub food, the steak I had was cooked perfectly and was nice and juicy. The owner, Steve, was friendly and welcoming. I would recommend booking though because it can get busy.

Great food. Great service. Dogs made very welcome. Loved the mixed grill and the dogs loved all the left over meat! Proper home made chips too

Went there, on a Thursday evening, never been there before. We met 2 friends there for a meal. My husband and myself had the fillet steak, and friends had the chicken tikka. We all agreed that it was the best meal that we have had for ages. The steak melted and was cooked to perfection. The chicken was perfect. We have sticky toffee for desert. It was a slab of pudding, really light and delicious, especially for only a fiver. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will go back again.

Great food! Great Price! Very friendly! Can't wait to go back!

Lovely food, friendly welcome. Great steak. Reasonable prices. Food home cooked

A real local pub, with lots of obvious regulars. Food excellent at very reasonable prices. Service more limited and orders have to be placed at the bar. Steak nights (Thursday) particularly good value with a 14oz T-bone at £17. Parking limited outside but there are some places for on road parking nearby

Came here on our way to Bristol Airport. Owner was welcoming and friendly. Food and drink were at really good prices and the food was lovely. The chicken tikka masala is out of this world!

Brilliant steaks good value always go back when in Somerset all other menu items excellent but fillet steak cooked properly best in the south West

Warm friendly welcome with a great selection of reasonably priced beers, ciders and wines. Good choice of freshly cooked food to order. Dog friendly

We came here for lunch this week. My companion and I both chose the scampi, chips and garden peas. Must say we were both impressed by the quality of the food, the ingredients and superior cooking. The Wellington Arms dates from 1770 and it retains that "olde worlde" charm with oak beams, lots of dark wood, no pretensions! just good quality all round. We will definitely return! Highly recommended!

Visited here after staying at the Days Inn at Sedgwick Services North. Leave the service station via the no entry on the left after the Days Inn and in a few short miles you’ll arrive that this traditional pub. Typical pub menu. Lots of choice and well priced. Great atmosphere and lovely people. Would definitely recommend.

little gem. Little room to park. Food looked amazing. Must try

1st time in this little jem of a pub, proper pub feel which is rare these days, excellent choice of ales and lagers. Food looked really good although we didn't eat as we only popped in for a few drinks on the way home from work but will definitely use again and maybe even try the food.

A proper pub with one of the best steak I have had in a longtime , paid double the price in restaurants with half the atmosphere & food quality that the Wellington Arms offers. Highly recommend a visit

Great old fashion pub great food without the heavy price tag.and friendly landlord and landlady, and staff.

Great steak. Lovely real original pub.

Excellent steaks 🥩 visit just once a year when at cheddar woods but won't go anywhere else when in the area

Such a friendly ( and dog-friendly) pub serving delicious steaks at reasonable prices! Husband thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate pudding and custard- great to have a tasty, no-frills, piping hot meal.

Friendly atmosphere and great food

Brilliant place. Great landlord ,absolutely fantastic food. Thanks for accommodating 6 people at short notice.

Lovely landlord he's absolutely hilarious! Great vibe just really homey and food was incredible will definitely be back!

Absolutely lovely pub..warm.and friendly.. amazing food! Highly recommended!

Cracking welcome, cracking food, a proper local pub with a friendly atmosphere and dog friendly

Me and my wife have just left this pub and believe me some of the best food we've ever had all cooked to perfection owner's friendly and polite the only complaint is the size of your plate of food just couldn't finish it well done highly recommended

Accidentally stumbled across this pub after visiting a couple which were too busy nearer the coast. We specifically wanted somewhere dog friendly as we can't leave them at the campsite. We had 3 kids with us, who all found something on the menu (which is usually a challenge) there was a big selection and what we ordered was spot on. Lance had the mixed grill and loved it (he normally moans about his steaks but said it was really nice) the puddings were lovely too. We will definitely be back when we visit the area again!!

Stopped on route from Highbridge to Frome, myself, son and grandson . 3 different types of meals all excellent, well cooked well presented nd in this day and age a sensible price, thanks

Had lunch this week....venue is a traditional Somerset country pub...no frills just an honest aged place to eat / drink etc. We recently paid over £100 for a steakhouse lunch in Bristol but wanted to lower our expense on this occasion so we thought the Wellington would be a good choice. Obviously a pub steak can't compete with a steakhouse steak and the prices there reflect that. Good seating & a very friendly landlord ensured a good welcome. The food was priced very reasonable considering ever hiking prices of all foodstuffs, yeah home cooked chips which is very very rare these days were the bomb. Side veg very tasty & plentiful. The money ball is always the steaks & these were very good & cooked perfectly to our liking. Yeah we be back & the Wellington is highly recommended if you just wanna notch it down abit

We called here last night for food because we decided to eat out on our last night of our holiday. I had already read previous reviews before starting our holiday and had saved the pub in my favourites. The landlord and staff were very friendly and helpful. The landlord chatted with us quite a bit bit but not too much as to disturb our evening. We ordered a varied range from the menu and everyone enjoyed their choices. In particular the liver and onions, very rarely found on menus.

We stopped in The Wellington Arms whilst staying locally at The New Inn hotel. As this venue was based in the services area of the M5 the choice of decent food was non-existent, so I used TripAdvisor to search for somewhere nice to eat and the pub had such good reviews, there was no other choice. The atmosphere was so friendly, the staff were warm, welcoming, and great entertainment. I had a T-bone steak, and the wife had a sirloin, both great cuts of meat, both cooked to perfection. You can tell a great amount of pride is taken in the food and drink, and the pub is run by people that know exactly how to run a 'proper pub'. The steaks were a great price, with fresh cut chips, fantastic, battered onions rings, mushrooms and I had a lovely peppercorn sauce. I cannot recommend this pub and Steve highly enough, if you are in the area, do yourself a favour, avoid all those chain restaurants and get yourself in here! Note: -Booking is recommended as it gets very busy, and the eating area is not that big

Stopped here yesterday en-route to Cheddar Gorge. We initially only stopped for a quick drink but upon seeing they served food we decided to order lunch - this turned out to be a good decision as the food was delicious & good value too. I had traditional fish, chips & mushy peas & my friend had sirloin steak with all the trimmings & stilton sauce. Very friendly landlord & very reasonable prices. Great selection of real ales on offer too. I had a pint of Gem ale & my friend had a pint of Blackthorn cider - both were perfect so the landlord also keeps his beers & ciders well. We will definitely be back again soon as proper local pubs with good home-cooked food sold at un-extortionate prices seem to be getting rarer by the day. Keep up the good work. Highly recommended!

We forgot it was Easter Sunday, just day 1 of our holiday to us. So challenge was on to find anywhere open for dinner. Lucky for us - we chanced upon The Wellington Arms!!! Wow! Yummy well cooked traditional pub food, generous portions and very reasonable prices. Steve welcomed us and held the kitchen open, even though he was about to stop serving food. Cook and Steve all brought us food and drinks with friendly welcome and checked we had all we needed (sauces etc). The locals and other visitors all chatting together and sharing tales. After the awkward silence we first walked into (gulp) they welcomed us happily to join in the friendly conversation. Don’t judge a book as they say. Give it a few minutes and you’ll have an evening of gorgeous food and friendly banter. Totally recommend this jewel of a pub and we will be going back many times this week. Steve has given us the pub’s card to book ahead now too. Thank you Steve xxx

Went here on mother's day, today off the cuff and was acomadated even though we hadn't booked. T bone steak was fantastic at a price that was stupid cheap, also the canaloni superb. We have eaten in many places and paid much much more. This is at the top of our list to go to places to eat. A real pub with all that goes with it. No fancy interior just good old fashion fare.

If you want a good steak, this is the place t go. Always given a good meal, always welcomed, always feel good after the visit. Food is of a high quality and cooked fresh. We usually end up chatting with the locals, It is an old fashioned traditional pub with a "hands on" landlord who really does a good job.

We have visited this pub over a few days and was pleasantly surprised, food choice was superb and excellent value for money , staff were very welcoming and the locals made us feel welcome, had a lovely time there , will definitely return .

A really good find. A warm welcome, a nice wine and good food. What more do u need to ask for. We had a delicious fish pie and then could not resist the rhubarb crumble and custard. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

The Wellington is a good honest British pub that serves great ale and superb food, ample portions and great value for money. Probably the best steak I’ve had in the last 10 years! The mixed grill is superb. Steve the landlord is a great host...

Food Amazing value. £14.50 for both fillet steak and T-bone steak. I ordered mine rare and it was perfectly cooked. You are offered a choice of chips, sweet potato fries (£1.50 supplement), jacket potato or mash. The dish is also accompanied with peas, sautéed mushrooms...

Always empty plates go back.This is our 3rd visit there ,will be a 4 th can’t beat it. Recommend this pub . Steve the blush wine you recommend to me was just perfect. See you soon

we came here first visit for evening meal. The food was amazing . Bar man and staff was very friendly and my kids just loved ricco the dog. Just a beautiful pub .everyone was so welcoming. My autistic son loved it to think gary anderson use to run the pub before being a well known darts player. This pub was so child friendly too .My kids loved it too. Thanks will definitely visit again.

Please don’t take any notice of the negative reviews this is a fantastic village pub with brilliant food and very cheap. You want posh then go to top restaurants and pay stupid prices but don’t run our village pub down the guys work very hard and deserve nothing but praise. Well done guys we love it great food and great beer in a brilliant appmosphere.

Good food, great prices. I had a delicious vegan curry, rest of family raved about their steaks. We had a very long wait for the food but it was worth waiting for and we could see the landlord was rushed off his feet. He still took the time to talk us Somerset first timers through the local cider options!

I don’t understand how this place has got so many good reviews. We wanted somewhere with a beer garden as we wanted to be outside in these Covid times but it is a huge stretch to call it that. It was so tiny, there is scaffolding up all over the building & weeds everywhere. The tables were filthy & didn’t look like they had been wiped for months so we felt we were better off sitting indoors. The food was ok but certainly nothing special. We then waited about 40 minutes for the table to be cleared & puddings brought (with kids this was frustrating). The barman just constantly told everyone how busy he was & had no customer service skills. People were coming in stating that they had bookings & he just said ‘yeah’. There was no warm welcome at all.

Excellent meal tonight. The landlord is a right comic, made us welcome. My sister & I along with our husbands were celebrating our late mums birthday. It was first class.

I’ve lived in the area since 1984 and I’m ashamed to say today was my first visit to The Wellington Arms. How remiss of us.Fabulous, excellent value food. Enjoyed the local atmosphere and we shall now be regulars.Cannot recommend highly enough - if you’ve never been, please book in straight away.

Made to feel very welcome by the man behind bar (Steve?) Enjoyed great pub food (including a burger the size of a dinner plate!!! :) ) in a friendly atmosphere. Worth a visit if youre in the area!

With many of the restaurants closed due to the pandemic, we were lucky to find Wellington arms open for business. Had a properly poured drought Guiness rather than the tin on a vibrating plate nonsense.The food was bang, 14oz T bone steak, rack of ribs and chicken dippers for all 3 of us and everyone demolished their food.Various offers throughout the week on their food , I luckily landed on the steak night. Prices were decent, our food tab £28 and our alternative was Maccy D's So thank you for being open through these times and saving us from the bland fast food option

We had a wonderful meal here tonight. It's so refreshing to eat proper pub food with lovely fresh ingredients instead of the supposedly up-market over priced food served in a lot of restaurants these days. The value for money is amazing and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back.

It's been a while since I've seen prices as great as this so was sceptical about the food, but it was awesome. Loads of locals in the pub raving about the food, odd landlord or should I say his humour is not for all but a great guy, and a great dog....... Good was huge BTW.

Weve been here several times for a meal and have never had a bad one yet. Wether you go when steves cooking or kieren the meals are still very tasty. The beer ,largers,ciders,spirts and wines very good priced and well kept tasting lovely. The prises are very very cheap with excellent service a place not to be missed. Good village pub with a great atmosphere wether drinking or eating.

Stopped here for dinner on the way to Bristol Airport. Staff were very friendly and service was quick. The food choices on the menu suited all of us and were very good value. We will stop here again next time we are in the area.

Stopped for lunch on the way home fromour holiday, great value meals the 4 of us all enjoyed what we had ordered.

Extremely good value and great quality. Good choice for the kids and amazing steaks, good portion sizes

We were highly recommended by our friends before so we thought we were coming for a great meal. We entered the bar and straight away we were told that we couldn’t do card transaction on individual occasions so we had to set up a tab because the landlord would have to pay extra for individual transactions, which I’ve in a pub for 5 years and have never told a customer they had to do that. We sat down at our table, we decided what we wanted and then went up to the bar, the landlord took our orders we orders 2 starters 4 steaks and 3 sauces to come. After 10 minutes our starters came out, the cheesy garlic bread was soggy/microwaved and before he placed them on the table he told us to remove our “cancer sticks” off the table (our cigarettes) after we removed them he placed our starters down, because there was such little amount of bread it was gone in 2 seconds. We waited another 10 minutes for ours plates to be cleared and then another 25 minutes for our mains to be brought out to us, the pub was empty so the food shouldn’t have taken this long to come out. Every fillet steak looked completely different sizes/shapes, certainly different portions of chips and peas and onion rings. As I said before we ordered 3 sauces to come with our 4 steaks but only 1 sauce came out and we asked where our other 2 sauces were and the landlord said we didn’t order them with him, which we did as we placed our entire order with him at the bar. As soon as we ate our meal we left to go and pay the bill at the bar, we were charged for 4 sauces instead of 3 which we order. I went back and got my money back for 1 one the sauces that was extra on our bill (even though it was £1.50) but it’s still the principle of it. Also, beware of the dog, reico is very friendly but barks constantly.Would not go again.

We have been before, highly recommended it to our friends. Worst mistake... won't be returning. I have given two stars 1: for the price and 2: the dog. We had our starters.. Soggy garlic bread. Then had to wait for 30 mins for our mains, and it was not busy we were the only ones in the restaurant. Before the food was placed in front of us the rude owner insisted before he gave us our food our cancer sticks must leave the table. Then said any sauces? I politely said we have two peppercorn sauces to come... He then said you never ordered them! I did and he took my order. Instead of saying sorry he then walked off to return 10 seconds later with two sauces... basically calling me a lier!Didn't enjoy my food after that. Such a shame the dog barked at my partner he then looked at him and said that's because you are going for a fag. Mate you own a pub????? I think he was very sarcastic and arragont.Such a shame as I have my own business and praised this pub giving recommendations. I just hope my customers don't have the same experiance I have.

Return visor to the pub we found few years ago and yet again excellent food and drinks were provided. The fillet steak perfectly cooked as were all the trimmings, quality meat tastier than Miller & Carter at unbelievably prices. Good choice of puddings really tasty. A Great welcome from the landlord and an excellent choice of ciders and beer. Definitely will return

We stopped in The Wellington Arms whilst staying localling in The Rookery Manor. We fancied eating somewhere that knew how to cook great food, with a little research, with such good reviews, there was no other choice. The atmosphere was so friendly, the staff were warm, welcoming and great entertainment.We had a Fillet steak and a Ribeye steak, both great cuts of meat, both cooked to perfection. You can tell a great amount of pride is taken in the food and drink, and the pub is run by people that know exactly how to run a 'proper pub'.The steaks were a great price at £12.50 and £13.50, with fresh cut chips, fantastic battered onions rings and I had a lovely peppercorn sauce.Drinks were so reasonable as well, £3.50 for a pint of Sulis Lager and a Tanqueray Sevilla Gin and Lemonade only £3.00!!I cannot recommend this pub and Steve and Jenny highly enough, if you are in the area, do yourself a favour, avoid all those chain restaurants and get yourself in here!

I was eagerly anticipating a good meal as I’d done my homework and read the reviews. It way exceeded expectations!Firstly a full menu on a Sunday evening (Hi Sara and family- we were sitting opposite you) - it was hard to choose but an 8oz fillet steak for £13.50 is a no-brainer!OH had the 20oz mixed grill for slightly less!The boss was at a loss as to why self-confessed small eaters would order so much food but we eat what we can, in this case way beyond our usual capacity because it was all so delicious!Chips were home cooked and to die for!All meat was of the highest quality and cooked to perfection!I had to try the fruit crumble which was also homemade and melt-in-the-mouth drop dead sumptuous!Wine was incredibly good value, the Boss was very funny, Kieran who was running the bar and taking food orders was a star!When we asked why they didn’t charge more, he explained that it was better to keep it affordable and see more customers.I’m guessing that they have plenty of regulars! Wish we lived closer as this would be our go-to!The complete real deal! Best of British!

As we where stopping nearby for a few days we decided to come for a meal here as we read previous reviews.

Seriously I wasn't sure when we walked in this little pub we thought we would have a drink while we decided where to eat and guess what they served food on a Sunday but not boring Sunday diners the choice was endless and I was abit reserved at first as it was so cheap and I thought to myself what will we be getting, £13.50 for a 8oz Fillet steak? By us it's £24 for a 6oz steak. Anyway just amazing, real chips like your mum use to make and a rare steak just cooked to perfection, we are only staying one night and moving on and wish we were staying longer just a walk over the road. They were very accommodating I asked for a kids scampi and chips as it wasn't on the kids menu so they did it and my hubby had the chicken in the creamy cider sauce ( he's not a creamy sauce guy and a really foodie working as a restaurant manger said it was just lovely) very impressed with this place x

Visited on a stop over on the way to Cornwall. This is a proper pub with proper pub food. Great value, very tasty and welcoming landlord. Would definitely come again

If you have ever walked into a village pub and been stared at and made uncomfortable by the coldness of customers and a seemingly uncaring bar staff or landlord... this is the place to go to change all that in an instant!

Best steaks ever. Cooked to perfection. Brilliant service. Good price. Landlord is a lovely character. Rico the Burmese mountain dog pleased to see us. Would highly recommend.
