The Woodborough Inn in North Somerset

Lovely friendly welcome from both staff and customers. We enjoyed our one night stay, our large comfortable twin room was well decorated, furnished and spotless. Comfortable beds with lovely en suite bathroom. Great food for both dinner and breakfast, good selection nicely cooked and presented. There is a large free carpark easy access in village center. The inn even has a 9 pin bowling alley for patrons to use.

Family of 3 adults stayed 1 night so we could also visit Thatchers Tour. Room 7, quiet, at back. Lovely large, clean bedroom and bathroom. Tastefully decorated. My husband loved the large bath! (also separate shower). Enjoyed a yummy dinner and breakfast! Vegetarian options available. We enjoyed lentil curries, avocado, egg on sour dough crumpets, and large traditional sausage/bacon breakfast. Every ingredient tasted fresh! A perfect place to relax, with a beautiful stroll up Strawberry 🍓 Line to Thatchers.

Our party of four adults stayed overnight at the Woodborough on our way to Cornwall. We had intended to use it as a B&B but the dinner menu looked so good we ate there too. Overall, we had a nice stay, the rooms were large, clean and well equipped. The food was great too - breakfast and dinner. You have to remember this is a pub, so no elevators to carry bags up and the parking is not secure.

We were greeted with such a welcoming feel as we entered the pub. Ruben greeted us & gave us information as he checked us in. When we said we were visiting Thatchers Cider the following day, Ruben told us about a lovely walk along the old strawberry line to Thatchers. Our room was cosy clean & had a lovely seated bay window. The bed was too firm for us. In the morning, we asked if we could have an extra quilt as a mattress topper. This was no problem, and one was delivered to our room within 10 mins. The meals were superb, fresh, beautiful ingredients packed with flavour, and generous portions, too. The customer service is exceptional, from all staff. A special thank you to Ruben & the lovely lady who served us breakfast.

Stayed 2 nights, modern spacious room. Had the junior suite. Lovely bath, soak after a busy day. Rooms were clean and staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast superb. We had dinner one night and was very nice, we had the dog so had to eat the pub end, the Woodborough were so helpful in making sure we had a table, the pub is very busy (in a good way). I would definitely come back again.

Stayed a night here and it was a bit expensive due to booking at the last minute. Rooms are nice but the hot water wasn't working. It got fixed after complaining. Food was good and breakfast was delicious with vegetarian options. Staff are helpful. Just a bit too expensive for the overnight stay. Parking on road and at the pub car park at the side. About 20-30 mins to beach in the car.

Fab experience here, used as an overnight stop off en route to Glastonbury, and then Devon. Room was well equipped, and spotlessly clean. Staff were super friendly, and the food was Yum! - both an evening meal and a hearty breakfast.. Highly recommended.

We stayed overnight very comfy large room enjoyed a tasty evening meal in the restaurant and had a excellent breakfast in the morning If you are looking to stay in a good pub with good food & service try the Woodborough Inn

Great breakfast. Nice ambience. Will definitely be back. Also had dinner and lunch here all good quality and quantity. Thanks

The Woodborough Inn is in the middle of the village of Winscombe with commercial buildings that seem more urban than rural. However, the interior is cheerful, warm and welcoming. We stayed 2 nights in a large, nicely decorated corner room with a big comfortable bed. Staff were pleasant and friendly. The food was very tasty and there was a good choice of dishes. We would happily stay there again

We had a lovely time, waiters were fab . What seemed to be the manager was a little abrupt. The restaurant was quite but she told a family that they had to order straight away even though the place stayed quiet 🤐. We went back the next night she didn't even ask what time we wanted a table, she just said no tables 😭. We looked later and the restaurant was empty 😭. What a shame. Were using the place as an escape as we had just lost our dog, what a shame

Excellent meal and service for a family birthday. Staff were excellent polite and friendly. We hadn't been there for a while but will go back very soon

Well we had two nights of walking in and having beautiful meals. I popped in as it was Friday night to try and book a table. I asked if there was a table for the evening and without asking for how many, what time or even pretending to consult the bookings I was told absolutely nothing. Such a shame that I felt we were completely dismissed. I would suggest next time at least pretend to try as you never know who has just walked through the door.

Popped in here on the off chance of a table and the lovely staff managed to squeeze us in. The food was really good, lots of choice for all tastes and it really was tasty! The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly and helpful. Would love to return.

Six of our friends and us stayed here for 2 nights last week. We also had dinner both evenings. This is an outstanding pub/hotel. Excellent value for money. Without exception the staff were outstanding, both in service and putting up with the 8 of us. The rooms are very well appointed and were very clean. Absolutely no criticism. If we have the chance would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you all for a wonderful stay.

Extremely comfortable rooms, very friendly service, great food and all round lovely place to stay! We would highly recommend to anyone considering a stay localky

The newly hired blonde woman is rude.inconsiderate and immature. Has no consideration for customers and had a poor attitude. She counted down like I am a child when I was providing buisness.

Called in here on a boiling hot day - too hot to do anything else much so became tourists who 'lunch' Unbelievably good - four main meals - gammon, mussels, honey and soy chicken noodles and pizza. Not a fault found - staff friendly, locals friendly, service excellent, food superb. Didn't really need dessert but it was rude not to try - so had that too - again all excellent Highly recommend this great pub and would return for dinner this evening if we had room!

Very friendly staff and good food. We also stayed the night in one of the newly renovated rooms which was very pleasant and comfortable.

We popped in for lunch, and both of us went for the chicken, spinach and feta lasagne - with a Parmesan-cream sauce atop - and... it was world-class (and better than anything that we have ever eaten on our travels around Italy)! This, when coupled with super-friendly bar-staff - and a great pint of Thatchers - made for an amazing start to our mini-break, and we would whole heartedly recommend this venue - and its food - to anyone visiting the Mendip area!

Really lovely pub staff and locals were all really friendly Food was really nice and good portions Definitely worth a visit

Great pub with friendly staff and good food. We stayed here for 2 nights with our dog and the accommodation was very clean and spacious, no signs or smells of previous dogs and well laid out. Separate dining area for people with and without dogs which was great and all food we ate was excellent. Overall it was a good experience in a good location.

We had an overnight stay at this lovely pub as we attended a family funeral and the wake was held here.We had a lovely double room which our sister in law paid towards for us and breakfast was included.All the staff were helpful and friendly and the young lady Emily who served us breakfast was a breath of fresh air. Breakfast was cereal and juice,followed by a full English with tea and coffee with toast.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely pub.. Awful flat lager 🍺.. I’m sorry but this is becoming a joke.. Why is the lager always flat.. No fizz at all it’s a dead Pint complained on many occasions and it’s either blamed on the Glasses.. Sorry guys this needs to be sorted.. Your paying premium prices for a Premium pint and it’s dead.. I think you need to sort it.. It’s a shame we have to go to other pubs further a field to enjoy a pint.. You need to have Stella 👍👌

Great overnight spot en route from Cornwall on holiday. However there are lots of local walks if you were staying in the area. Our room, which had been recently refurbished, was light, airy and unbelievably large! The photos matched the room. Great outdoor space to enjoy a beer, if you are luckily to have sunshine. Good choice of beers and food, the staff were very friendly but a bit overstretched on the food side. This made it difficult when too many people arrive to eat at the same time, but they did their best. Breakfast was freshly cooked.

We stayed here for 2 nights in the family room for four of us. The price was 300 which isn’t cheap for 3.5 star place but we chose it for the location to some friends we were seeing and the reviews. The room was really...

Went on Friday late afternoon, restaurant was quiet and there were 4 staff. We got our mains in good time and the food was lovely, we then waited for 40 minutes with empty glasses and dirty plates. Staff were stood around the bar, including the...

We were a table of 8 and received excellent service from the friendly staff. Most of the meals, risotto, vegetarian, salads egg and chips were good. However, the signature ´Woody Burger ‘ both meat patty and roll were not. The rolls were stale and the...

Stopped for lunch at this pub. Had an enormous ploughman's lunch. Large portion of Cheddar & Draycott Blue, fresh bread, celery & a whole array of pickles all very well presented & very tasty.

We have visited the Woodborough 4 times in the last couple of months, twice for breakfast,once for a lunchtime snack and again for a main meal. On every occassion we have come away more than happy. A good atmosphere, helpful friendly staff and lovely food...

Three of us went for supper. Really lovely food, portion size just right and food piping hot and tasty. Two of us had the scampi (which is always superb) and the other had a pasta dish from the 'specials board', which was also enjoyed. Would...

Have been here quite a few times for Sunday lunch and it's always very nice. Good portions with great service and very reasonable too. Pub itself is nicely done out with a good atmosphere, plenty of space, and very nice, polite staff. Would definitely recommend.

What a great place to stay . Rooms were immaculate. Evening meal superb. Breakfast was a real treat . Superb Service Big thank you

We had a lovely meal/evening! The Food was fantastic service was good, everyone looking happy and everyone was very friendly. Had a lovely chat with the manager on shift. I would recommend this family and friends.

Went to the pub for a meal for a 48th birthday for 9 people. Ended up cramped around a table in the bar area as one of of the party had a small dog which was not allowed in the restaurant area. Ok, get it....

Stayed here before and loved it, but after a recent refurbishment it now exceeds expectations with spacious rooms, a really comfortable bed and great bathroom. All really spotless. Then we get the breakfast.....superb. Something on the menu for all tastes and all made fresh. Good...

We had an incredible meal here. The starters of smoked duck with pesto and trout gravlax were so delicious, we then had proper butchers faggots with mash and a steak cooked to perfection. Highly recommend and we will be returning!

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast. I had chicken, husband had the pork. Meat perfectly cooked, crispy roast potatoes, well cooked veg, massive Yorkshire pudding, proper homemade gravy and lovely, cheesy cauliflower cheese. Staff all welcoming and friendly. Completely exceeded expectations. Absolute gem of a place, we...

We wanted somewhere for our family of 15 to have a pre-Christmas meal together with good access from London, Shrewsbury and Devon. We had not been to this venue before but the website and pre- booking communications were promising. From setting the date to paying...

Called in on the off chance today for Sunday lunch. Lovely smiley faces welcomed us. After ordering our drinks, smooth Shiraz and a belvoir ginger, we were shown to a table for two. We were given plenty of time to read the Specials Board and...

Live locally so I know there is a lot of competition around Thatchers, Bath Arms, Gardeners Arms etc. however Woodborough is more competitively priced and they don’t charge extra for cauliflower cheese!!! Great Sunday lunch…food really tasty and well cooked…will be returning again very soon....

Pre-ordered our food as it was a large party. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was brought out to our table promptly. Everyone was pleased with their meal. Delicious food. A few of us, including me, had a pudding and they were also delicious. Had...

The room and bathroom are really spacious and comfortable. The food was beautiful and made with good quality ingredients. Staff are lovely and we were made to feel really welcome. A great way to start our 35th wedding anniversary. Thank you.

Haven't visited this Inn in a very long time even though it's in the next village. I visited it too meet my friends ( ex colleagues) for breakfast . Wow, one of the best breakfasts I've eaten in a long time. The inn is lovely...

Woodborough Inn were very accommodating to our group for a lunch meeting. They gave us a secluded and private corner, didn't bother us as we finished our meal and went into a 2 hour meeting. Food, drinks, atmosphere, and staff were great.

You need to book on Tuesday evenings at this popular local pub bacuase their local competitors are closed! The pub is large and has ample outside seating. The staff are tremendously friendly and the food very plentiful. We enjoyed the whitebait served on a wooden...

Booked a table online as had never been here before. Arrived earlier than planned and the lady who greeted us was great about changing our time rather than having to wait for over an hour. Lovely clean restaurant and nicely decorated. Good choice of dishes...

Booked on route through this little village, so didn’t know what to expect, we had a lovely welcome, helpful polite staff, drinks in a beautiful oldy but modern bar. The atmosphere was great through the evening. Plenty of seating. Food was amazing, we ordered scampi...

Would give 6 stars if could! Nicely priced room, amazing service, amazing and friendly staff. Meals are fantastic! Requested cans of Darkfruits in room with thatchers gold labels on them as a joke bday gift for the partner and this was done perfectly. If you...

Lovely homely room, which was serviced daily. Huge fluffy bath towels, warm room with all facilities you could need. Thick curtains that fitted properly and blocked out all light. Breakfast was included-very attentive waitresses. Bottomless coffee . We ate in the restaurant at night and...

The food offering has improved a lot over the last 6 months. The last three times we’ve been, we’ve had really tasty meals. It’s also great dogs are now allowed in the bar area.

Having experienced using the Woodborough Inn many times in years gone by, mainly for a pub visit, drinks and food but also for a couple of stays in their rooms, we booked a couple of nights on our way home to Devon after a break...

Great service by the ever excellent Mr Bridges and staff. They helped make what could have been a difficult afternoon a celebration of a departed friend. Would give it 6 stars if I could. Thank you. JV would have been proud.

Four of us went on a Friday evening. First impressions extremely good when our server was very professional and smiley. Set the tone for a really pleasant evening. Food throughout was good, served hot and very tasty. A bit of a gap between stater and...

We attended at 9am for breakfast which we had booked a table for, we had chosen to join some family who were staying in the rooms of the Woodborough for a few nights. Upon arrival we were asked if we had booked to which we...

My wife and I had an evening meal. The food and the service was fantastic. I would recommend finishing with the cheese board of local cheeses :-)

Poor excuses. Early asking fir a table noticed that a lot of the tables had marked reserved place mats on them detailing the name of the party booked. I asked for a table and told fully booked. I questioned the empty table places and was...

We had an excellent time - food was very good - I had the leg of lamb - would go again! We weren’t waiting at all, and had a very good experience.

Excellent fish and chips We felt very COVID safe and received really good service. Great food, piping hot and tasty. Decent value for money. We had a small and a large portion and both were good.

I had been working 24/7 on site and my wife was feeling a bit neglected so I took Sunday off and took her to the Woodborough in Winscombe for lunch. On arrival we were greeted by one of the barmaids and shown to our table...

I visited last night with my partner and two friends to celebrate some happy news. We were warmly greeted and shown to our table. The menu was varied and there were a few specials too. I had the seabass which was well cooked, but the...

The worst roast beef dinner I've had in a long time, potatoes we're fit to eat and the standard certainly doesn't justifice the prices charged Won't be going back anytime soon. Very disappointed. Used to be a good pub for food, but not anymore.

Booked in for meal just got in very busy 1st class sevice food spot on . Recommend this inn for the food etc .the rooms looked good and breakfast etc was recommended by others.

With their separate semi-private dining area at the back, the Woodborough was an ideal venue for our group of about 40 family and friends - though in different times I think they could accommodate more. We had a ploughman's buffet for each table, which worked...

Absolutely amazing meal and amazing service, friendly staff which is fantastic to see due to current circumstances.

Just marvellous. Superb service from start to finish with such lovely staff. Food so lovely, hot, tasty and plentiful. Lemon meringue sundae was a delight! Most definitely will return and recommend. Thank you.

Me and my friend had came here after going to Cheddar’s car boot and market sale. Found this place on the SATNAV and thought let’s try. WOW!!! What an amazing place. The service was absolutely amazing, done all they could and more for us. And...

Best breakfast, freshly cooked, quality ingredients Service good, certainly will visit again when in area Staff went over and above

Came for a business dinner. Food was served quickly and was tasty. I had the sesames soy chicken. Good range of Thatchers cider on offer. I enjoyed the zero and Rascal.

Soooo disappointed, went here last night as a birthday treat, after checking that there was a sunday roast menu booked a table for 5 o'clock. arrived at 4:45 and waited to be seated, finally let in at just after 5 and then waited to be...

Stayed here 1 night on my way back from Land's End to Stratford on Avon. Very comfortable and spacious room. Arrived on motorbike, staff let me put it round back in secure yard. Dined in restaurant, nice varied pub type menu, staff really nice, nothing...

Friendly pub with excellent food and plenty of space inside - so no problem with distancing. Varied menu and the food is well presented. I had the chicken tikka masala special which was delicious.

We stayed here this last weekend. The food was absolutely brilliant and so we're all the staff. Unfortunately the bedrooms were not. The beds were like sleeping on a plank all night, so uncomfortable did not sleep properly for 3 nights. Also the bathrooms needs...

We stayed in room 5 which was beautiful. It was a one night stop over and late availability but could not fault it. Breakfast excellent value and staff outstanding. A thoroughly fantastic stay and excellent value for money. Will definitely re visit

We are locals that go regularly to the pub for a drink (gave up on the meals ages ago) on 2 or 3 occasions we have given up waiting for a drink. Last night we decided to go inside as it wasn’t very warm, stood...

Certainly don’t go here if you are in a rush but believe me the wait for food is certainly worth it we drove past on the way to the Webbington and called in for lunch on the way back so glad we did It was...

After reading the 4.3 star reviews on here and google we thought we’d give this pub a go. However we were left very disappointed. We waited 45 minutes for our food. The food was luke warm and dry. All four of us didn’t finish our...

We had an excellent starter of whitebait, big portion and lovely. This was followed by goats cheese salad with chicken. Brilliant meal.

Spent a couple of nights here. The room was spacious and clean, the bed very comfortable and the service very friendly. The breakfast was excellent and abundant and the hotel is well placed to visit the wonderful Somerset places of interest.

Very friendly staff and good pub serving good beers and good simple pub grub , we staying at nearby Premier Inn and walked here for dinner

Stopped here on our cycle back from Yatton to cheddar with my partner and one year old. We both had jacket potatoes and they were lovely. Service was good and the staff were friendly price was very reasonable too would recommend a visit. 😊

Came here based on the reviews. Left with full bellies and not disappointed. The staff were friendly enough and attentive. I opted for duck from the specials board and my mum had the pork belly. She said she thought the fat would be crispy but...

Everything was very good - the only criticism I would have is the music is far to loud, otherwise I would have given 5 stars

Well we popped in and was great lovely food we will be back soon great staff the staff looked after all our needs

Had lunch here today it was really delicious. Didn't fancy a roast so ordered from the menu. Food arrived freshly cooked and piping hot. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the start. Nice to have the choice of chips or their delicious herbie potatoes. Definitely be going back.

A very pleasant restaurant with good service and staff. A varied menu with tasty meals being served by the very efficient staff.

+ve, good food; beers; wines. Very friendly sincere staff. No sodding dogs! who wants a dog in a pup/restaurant?? -ve, none

We stayed here after a last minute dash from Cornwall. Beautiful room with lots of space. We received a very warm welcome. Breakfast in the morning was lovely with a great variety of cereals, yogurts and fruit to choose from. My husband had the full English which he enjoyed very much. Fresh ground coffe was lovely. It’s a shame we only had one night.

There are not a great many places to eat between here and Weston-super-Mare and this is a deservedly popular pub with good parking and very good food. There’s nothing particularly adventurous bit its a comfortable restaurant with decent , competitively priced food and well kept beer. Very popular on a Thursday night when we were there so worth booking. Friendly, helpful staff.

Apologies as this review is from some months ago but we came here when visiting my family who live a few miles away. We had a lovely lunch and was good value and will return nex time we are in the area. Thanks

Had lunch here with friends on route to Bristol airport. We hadn't booked but managed to get in. The food was excellent. Friendly service too

Stayed weekend 14th September. Check in was very quick and easy. Rooms were roomy and clean. Break fast was cooked fresh and very nice. Also had Sunday lunch which was lovely, well done to all the staff for going that extra mile and making our visit enjoyable.

Have visited a number of times in the last 6 months and food has been pricey but excellent. The last 2 visits in September 2019 have been distinctly average. Also noticed there was a sausage and mash option on the specials priced at £13....went back a week later and it was £15!! Overpriced and not top of my list of places to go anymore.

Second visit here and very impressed. The staff are happy and very attentive, always smiling and nothing is too much. The food was incredible, I had something off the specials board and it looked and tasted phenomenal. One of my friends had the burger and said it was one of the best they'd had and all that had steaks loved them, well worth the money as you can tell it's fresh, real food! Will definitely be returning for one of the many gins!

Went here with friends for lunch 2 of us had grilled vegetables with halloumi cheese & 2 of us had ham mushroom omelette with chips & dressed leaves plus a bowl of cheesy chips our omelettes in my opinion were overdone & had mostly mushroom & very salty the chips weren’t piping hot the grilled vegetables in a skillet was very hot & plenty of it but I think they overdone it with the olives the service was good but for us it lacked atmosphere sorry to say we won’t rush back

The only pub in a large village and frankly I’d rather drive somewhere else- little atmosphere, uncomfortable seating and high prices even for a ‘village pub’. Such a shame as it used to be the hub of the community and a warm welcome was guaranteed- now it’s impersonal and lacking.

Extremely helpful and pleasant bar and serving staff, just a pity the food couldn’t match their standard. Overall we had a pleasant experience there, but nothing exceptional.
