The Wyndham Arms in South Somerset

Proper pub! Need I say more? Yes, Willow was great. I loved her philosophy on what a pub should offer, and I loved the Crew at the table which I was invited to join. Willow is reviving the lost art of traditional English pub hospitality. Single- handedly as far as I can see! Can’t wait to return. Andy

Simply beer and cider, few bar snacks, fantastic warm pork scratchings.

Visited the village for family history reasons and had a very helpful and warm welcome from the landlady and her gorgeous dogs. Wished I lived nearer would definitely visit more often.

Really good afternoon out. Great village pub, well supported and very welcoming to locals and visitors alike. Pop in and say hello to the landlady Willow, I am sure she will be delighted to see you.

Lovely restored beer/cider house offering a great range of ciders in an authentic rustic pub.

Dropped in for a pint or two. Limited selection of ales, but well kept. They use cooling jackets, which can be problematic, but our beers were great. Sam, the young bar keeper, is friendly and knows his stuff.

So great to have the Windy back and full of life - nothing beats a long dog walk and coming into the pub with roaring fires, local ales and ciders and a big ol' pork pie waiting PLUS a ton of friendly faces. Currently just a wet pub, but a few tasty bar snacks available and plenty of cute dogs to snuffle up the crumbs. Missed this pub so much and just over the moon to have it back! If you have a big car be careful of the turn into the carpark - judging by the paint scuffs, there has been more than a few scratches 🤣

Good old fashioned pub with a good range of beers and ciders.

Very cozy pub with a great atmosphere and friendly dogs.

What a lovely find on our autumn walk. A dear lady served all 12 of us with real ales and ciders, scotch eggs, pies and cheddar and pickles. Lovely old traditional feel with old slate floors and what not . Wish we had one of these where we live.

If Scotch eggs and a pint of cider in an exceptional country pub without pretension are what you require of Somerset then this is the pub for you.

I just love everything about the considered changes which have been made to this old building,my favourite pub of all time . Well Done Willow. It's fantastic .

Fabulous, traditional local pub. Willow, the landlady has worked hard to use authentic, original materials on the building and it looks great. The ambience is second to none and the beer is beautiful. Worth a trip to the country!

Lovely village pub. Wonderful atmosphere, good real ales and a great selection of ciders. Great to have it back after the long closure. Well done, Willow.

Very friendly and welcoming to cyclists, runners and walkers alike. Amazing selection of local ciders too

Beautiful pub in the heart of the countryside. Great for real ales & cider . Excellent cold pies 🥧

Great pub, friendly staff, friendly locals and good atmosphere in a lovely setting. Feels like you are stepping back in time. Nice to see all pubs don't have to be a gastro monstrosity these days.

The Wyndham Arms is one of those lovely jewels of a countryside village. Always welcoming with a wonderful atmosphere and welcomes dogs. I would recommend dropping in for a drink and a bar snack anytime of the day. The local cider is well worth a try too!

Wonderful place for a beer and chat . We come every year fro Jersey .

A visit to the Wyndham Arms is a must, now re opened as the quintessential village pub. So glad to have it back open and thriving. The perfect stop for refreshment.

Great local pub with real ales and an assortment of traditional ciders. Highly recommended.

Nice village pub. Glad it has reopened.

I have visited the pub several times now since the reopening. I must say I’m.. 1) Delighted to have the pub reopened 2) What a fantastic and sympathetic restoration has been carried out 3) Love the selection of ales and ciders available 4) Glad that the wood burner has been removed and a massive log basket has been fitted in its place. You will struggle to find a better dog friendly Pub (a quirky one, at that! ) with great Ales and ciders with a roaring fire around here. Bar snacks are available until the kitchen is refurbished.

This gem of a country pub has been thoughtfully reconditioned by the latest owner. Currently wet only but I can recommend the locally made Pork Pies available at the bar. Well kept cask ales too 👏👍

Nice to have the pub open again for us locals. Only sells bar snack type stuff (pork pies and scotch eggs)

Great pub. Great atmosphere. Excellent selection of beers and bar snacks. Worth a visit

Absolutely amazing food, and atmosphere, staff were lovely and so friendly! Would 100% recommend and would go again

Service was absolutely amazing, great food, tapas was amazing. Great effort into making us feel like we were at home. Would 100% recommend :)

Our party of 4 adults and 1 toddler had a lovely lunchtime meal here out in the beer garden. The menu catered really well for dietary restrictions; I was particularly impressed and heartened that many of the tapas dishes were suitable for a low-carbohydrate diet, as well as being gluten-free. The service was friendly and the dishes were very tasty.

When 17 of us (including children) arrived without warning, this bank holiday weekend, Tracey and the team did the very best to make sure we were warmly welcomed and looked after. Yes, we had a bit of fun with the orders but as it worked out we all had a lovely chilled afternoon with some great tapas style food (cheesy chips for the kids) and a couple of ciders, before our walk back to the campsite. Thank you for your efforts and hospitality.

Having had a terrible experience at the Rusty Axe, 7 of us arrive unannounced at the Wyndham Arms where we were made to feel very welcome, we sat outside all afternoon, enjoyed the beers and had a cracking selection of tapas which when you are on a long walk is the perfect food. Great pub, highly recommended.

The tapas style food works excellently for a pub, you cab try whichever dishes you want and they are all delicious. The beer is lovely and the atmosphere is very friendly! Definitely recommend!

Lovely looking country pub, but attitude stinks. Al we wanted was a pub lunch, something traditional, but they looked own there noses at us because the kids wanted chips and all they would do was fancy stuff. The Indian just along the road was much friendlier, they were happy to do goujons and chips and no attitude. We will not go back to the Windham though.

Visited tonight as we’re staying locally overnight. We were just looking for something quick to eat but very pleasantly surprised! Service was great, Food was amazing! The chef checked in to make sure we were happy with the food - couldn’t ask for more!

Read the Brit stop advise about tight entrance and spoke to a lady about the tight entrance, however decided to give it a try . Arrived and went for it did not work out exactly to plan , however the landlady and staff were amazing ,the tapas food was amazing all in all a great experience. The sunshine reggae was 6 pints good . Gin selection also good . In these covid times it was a organised and safe calm experience will definitely be come back in a smaller van

We were staying locally so walked a mile or so to get here.Sadly like much in the trade they were quiet, but we were greeted and seated and all very Covid sorted, no issues at all.Good beer, there was a Tapas menu on so we had 6 dishes between us over an hour or two, all super.The tortilla was outstanding, the squid perfectly cooked.Overall a quiet but enjoyable evening out.

Never actually got to eat here. We were camping nearby and booked for two lunches, Monday and Wednesday of Eat out to help out deal. Pub called to cancel with a week to go. Said chef was overwhelmed and couldn't cope so was cancelling all bookings for that week. Fair enough at least we got some notice. Towards the end of the week we noticed they were cooking again. Rang up to check, booked in for that evening told we could come before 7pm or after 7.30. Went for 6.30 and booked. Then messaged back a couple of hours later to be told chef couldn't cope, they were overwhelmed again and we were cancelled. That's three cancellations in a week. We have been in for drinks earlier in the week. They seem friendly enough and nice choice of beers and local cider but need to seriously address the kitchen issues.

Whilst on holiday in Langport - stumbled across this pub near where we were staying. Such a great find - I didn't eat but the food looks great - a tapas menu. Drinks are so inexpensive double gin and tonic is for nothing. Service is so welcoming - bar lady is perfect and a treat for the eye in the most welcoming manber. If you are in the area - do pop in

The owners are really friendly and welcoming, with the chef coming out to chat to people when he can. The food (we had the tapas) was delicious and they have a great beer/cider/wine selection. The ambience is relaxed but there is obviously a lot of effort put in to make everyone feel looked after and special.

Really friendly- good food -loved the pie. Amazing selection of ciders Really recommend Only criticism was a bit of a wait for food - but nice place to do so Dog friendly

First time I have visited for a meal, I took a friend and it is a traditional country pub, nice and warm, and all areas very clean, we were served by a very happy smiley lady who made us very welcome, I had the bacon and mushroom pasta I can honestly say this was the best tasting pasta I have had, my friend had the baked cod she ate everything and she really enjoyed it to, unfortunately we had no room for a dessert but hopefully next time we can manage one, as we will definitely be back, I have no hesitation to highly recommend this lovely country pub, with parking at the rear.

Reception was great and Scott landlord and chef showed us to table and described menu and ingredients, we were instantly at ease and home ! Service was impeccable and hospitality staff were well presented and polite and we were well provided for ! The food was well presented a good size and cooked perfectly, what we didn't eat we took home , atmosphere was great and extremely friendly ! I would highly recommend to anyone passing through or local for either a lunchtime drink or a full blown excellent meal in an old fashioned traditional beautiful country location! I walked out of there full up happy and contented! That doesn't happy to often! Total respect to Scott liz cookie and the team !

This is the third time I've returned to the Wyndham arms on a trip in Somerset. Such a nice place to relax in after a day of cycling. Yummy, traditional food and very unpretentious. Just a real pub! Definitely recommend.

Wanted to find a local serving a good honest Sunday dinner after 2pm.Pub staff were polite and punters friendly. Sunday dinner however was more of a dog's dinner.That's if your dog is a vegetarian or the cow your eating a rather fat one!I had the beef which came with a giant yorkie pud hiding a stuffing slice and two tatoes with lots of gravy.I use the term beef loosely, as there was little meat hidden under the gravy just lots of slices of sinewy fat!We were eating after two but if the beef had left early I'm sure the chef who carved it knew when plating up!They definitely knew after I'd eaten. The polite waitress asked how it was. I replied I couldn't say as to the meat as didn't get any, as evidence by the fatburg left on the plate.I added next time I'd go for the vegetarian as that's what I got for £12.95 excluding drink.Neither good pub grub or honest description of Sunday Dinner - More like dog's dinner minus the meat! Triffid Diner at the Wyndham Arms Sommerset

We visited this pub with friends last night, our first visit since it changed hands over a year ago.Crikey, what a difference! Lovely buzzy atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff, an extensive menu to suit all tastes and freshly cooked, good quality food.Well done everyone. We are lucky to have this unpretentious good old fashioned pub right on our doorstep.

Called in on our way home from Cornwall after checking they were serving Sunday lunches. Arrived around 3 o'clock and the place was really busy. Families, friends and dogs. Nice and warm Autumn atmosphere.Having got a couple of pints - a Thatcher's haze and a Plastered pheasant we ordered a Lamb and Pork roast. A pleasant young waiter came out with the cutery and what only seemed like minutes later our food arrived on piping hot plates. Plenty of meat and gravy, roasties, stuffing and a yorkshire plus a large dish of veggies - carrots, red cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower in a cream sauce.Food was delicious. I would highly recommend their Sunday roast.

My wife, and brother in law and sister in law, and I had the Lamb and Redcurrant Pie for lunch today. The pie was outstanding and is highly recommended. The lady behind the bar went out of her way to make sure we were looked after. If you are in the area you must visit this lovely old pub to sample the food and hospitality. I promise you that you will not be disappointed. We took our dogs Mabel and Harvey with us and the welcome for them was also outstanding.

Met up with several old school friends and this was the recomended place to eat by the one of us who lived in the village. Loved it, great old pub, attentive staff, the food was excellent and the price reasonable, it helped to make the weekend a very memorable one.

Wonderful old country pub with an amazing selection of Ales. The food was outstanding just love the faggots. Atmosphere great. Staff were very friendly and looked after us very well. Thoroughly recommend this pub if you like the authentic britsh village pub this one fits the bill perfectly.

Could be cleaner, obnoxious landlord, no atmosphere. Should be better as the only pub in a large village.

Had a lovely evening meeting up with some old school friends and couldn't have picked a better venue. The food was very good and the staff were all very efficient and charming the young man even took a load of photos for us. Hope to return again.

Lovely country pub. Great menu selection, extensive. The chef made sure to accommodate my teenage son and daughter's requests, which in turn made them very happy. Me and the husband had the Sunday roast. Best Yorkshire pudding I've ever had! Food was delicious all around.

Had Sunday dinner with a old friend of mine both very happy with the food and service, very nice, great service, would recommend,,

We went for lunch on a Thursday, with our dog. The barmaid was extremely friendly and the choices of drinks & food extensive. We both enjoyed Italian pork with salad & fries/Brisket in a bun with salad & fries.

Had tea here, food was lovely and tasty, great atmosphere, in a brilliant country pub. Dog friendly also.

Fab pub. Made so welcomed. Food cooked fresh and great. Can’t recommend it enough. It was thanks to Muchelney Pottery that we found it.

Great pub for us locals. Part of the village, great for just for a pint, a quick meal or a special dinner.

Called in for lunch on Tuesday 2nd April 2019. I was immediately made to feel welcome.

Went here for a light lunch, sandwiches and wraps were lovely and tasty. Young man behind the bar was very good, dog friendly.

We called in today for lunch on our way to look at a property for sale which happened to be next door! The welcome was amazing, made to feel right at home with the locals as well. The food was really tasty and good portions and good value for money. What a difference to the pubs in the village where we live (near Cheddar beginning with W) where the pubs are pretentious and the prices exorbitant. A real pleasure to find not all villages are the same!

Visited for a quick lunch stop whilst in the area. The car park entrance is a bit narrow so be careful. The place is full of character, I can imagine it's great in winter when the stove is lit. The staff were friendly and the food was great, all commented how good it was. Well done!

Over the past 34 years I have eaten here more times than I can remember and never had a meal I didn’t enjoy! I don’t know how they manage to consistently keep the standards high and the atmosphere so charmingly Somerset. Never any hesitation in recommending this pub.

I've visited the Wyndham Arms a couple of times now and enjoyed the food on both occasions. It's a very traditional village pub with a varied menu and something for everyone food wise. Good real ales and good wine selection. I'll definitely go again when in the area.

I move to the area at the beginning of the year and after a few months I found the Wyndham arms. I have never in all my days been welcomed so warmly. The bar staff, though can be slow at time but I think it's due to such high demand of their survive and attention, are some of the most friendly, funny and kind staff who really go above and beyond. The landlord and lady go out of the way to make you feel at home. The land lady even evolved my daughter in a few Christmas decorations activities, which she loved! The food is exquisite, cooked to order and are more than happy to accommodate dietary needs but even the fussy eaters. Hight recommend if you looking for a traditional family friendly Somerset village pub!

We stopped off for lunch on our journey from London to a wedding near Taunton and had a delicious and very needed meal - the portions were huge and the menu varied. I had the salmon and puff pastry which was delicious and I quite want to try it myself at home! The chilli nachos were also raved about. The service was brilliant and the pub itself a beautiful old building - we learnt all about the skittle alley out back which looked like so much fun and even met the owners new puppy who is beautiful! Highly recommend this pub and the owners passion for it and the local community. Thanks for having us! Also our friends little one loved the toy corner!

A lovely atmosphere, comfortable and very welcoming staff. The Wyndham pie is a must as for the burger, tasty and just amazing. We also had the house white, I must congratulate them on having such a lovely wine.

Having not visited the pub for 2 years or so, the welcome, attention and service from front of house staff...., and the recommendation of the cider from another customer was the start of great lunch time......with a menu that had been shortened but still offered variety. Whilst the pub was not too busy, some might say that the food was a tad slow, though all four plates served up were piping hot, smelled great ...and were extremely tasty......No probs about splitting the bill, and the bar staff, order taker and server absolutely charming, as per our previous visit 2 years ago.....felt like regulars!...so looking forward to2020 for next visit.....joking....if we are in the K.E. area we will be there!.......Hope they put Kevin’s faggots back on winter menu......

This was the first time we visited, but its safe to say that we won't be returning!

We travelled from Poole to revisit what used our local pub when we lived in Kingsbury. We were ignored by the landlord who was on his mobile phone and then left the bar area. We sat down, looked at the menu and as there appeared to be no one interested in serving us, we walked out. We won't return.

We have visited this pub several times since moving to the area and have enjoyed fantastic food. The menu is not expensive for decent food and there is a range of tastes and prices to suit most pockets. The pies are delicious (we have revisited twice just for the pies) and our daughter recently enjoyed the herb cakes which she loved. We love the fact this it is a "pub that serves food" and not a "restaurant pretending to be a pub", which sadly lack character and locals drinking. We will continue to visit for food and drinks and look forward to enjoying more great meals with our family and friends. The chef and young bar staff are commended for their friendly service and good food.

We have lived in village since 1997 therefore we are not locals.

We had a fantastic time at this restaurant. We had hoisin duck, fish and chips and a caesar salad - all delicious, quality ingredients, considerable size :)

I’ve visited the area a few times now with friends, family and girlfriend. I have also been to other pubs in the area and can say that this pub has everything. This is by far my favourite pub in the whole of Somerset. For me what does it is the varied components brought together to make it such a lovely place. At certain hours, if you fancy a quiet pint; it has it. If you fancy meeting the locals who come for a pint after work; it has it. If you fancy some decent grub at fair prices, it has it! For me it ticks all the boxes. All the staff are very friendly and I wish the new owners all the best for the future.

To be honest, we weren't sure what to expect as we haven't been the Wyndham Arms since the new owners took over, but contrary to what we had been hearing, we were made to feel welcome by the manager and later on by the Scott and Elizabeth, the owners and the locals that were in there at the time. We were there on a Sunday evening so there was no food being served (it seems you can't get anything to eat on a Sunday evening anywhere in the area), so I can't comment on the food, but the Sunday roast certainly looked like good value, (Sirloin beef, giant Yorkshire pudding, crispy roast potatoes and vegetables for £11 or £7). However, we love real ale and real cider and the ale was in lovely condition and there was a lovely choice of real cider, so we were happy!

The second time we've visited this place recently because we know they'll be a buzzing atmosphere and we can bring the dog. Met the new owners this time who were very friendly and clued up on what sort of brews we should order.

The place was Crowded round the bar with local drinkers who felt our food order would wait until one of them went to the loo leaving a gap to push through to get to the bar.when eventually there the very young man behind the bar who apparently is the manager and a young girl totaly ignored us whilst slicing lemons and joking with each other until I shouted out COULD WE HAVE SOME SERVICE PLEASE.

I came to The Wyndham Arms last night in a drunken whirl celebrating England's success. I just wanted to apologise for my behaviour, I was slightly drunk and listening to Elton John on my ipod ! I am in fact not a paranoid schizophrenic but a successful designer. So just apologising and clearing things up. All the best with the new business, I hope you make it a success.

We have visited this pub a few times in the last 2 years but the new management need to wake up and think about what they can do to make improvements. Visiting on a Saturday evening we were surprised to be, at one point, the only dinners! We were given menus which were somewhat limited in choice and the one thing we did fancy, fish and chips, was off the menu!!!! May have been helpful to say something when being given the menus!!! Food was passable but frankly over priced for its content and unimaginative. Still no website up and running. It’s mid summer and I would have thought that would be a priority. Staff were friendly but not really welcoming.......it’s a lovely venue and beautiful old pub......owners, do something with it!!!!

A man was snorting cocaine in the gents toilets. He has dreadlocks aged around 25 - 30. My mother told a member of bar staff. Nothing was done. I would advise everyone to steer clear of this drugs den. We left in total disgust

We would definitely recommend this traditional pub. Great food (especially as I am a vegan and find it hard to get tasty vegan food in a pub), efficient service and very good value for money. See you guys again soon!

We recently travelled down to the South West of England on a camping trip. We wanted what this part of the country had to offer and visited many country pubs and bars. The Wyndham Arms by far stood out as the best! We found the staff to be fun, friendly and the menu had a big selection of food. I have several food allergies and the staff made sure to accommodate my needs. Thanks for a wonderful experience guys.

Great food, helpful staff and good atmosphere. Best Sunday roast I've had in a while. Will 100% be back when I'm next in Somerset.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Amazing new owners who made us feel welcome and so accommodating. The food was delicious and I would recommend anyone to go and stay there. :)

This is a delightful and charming local village pub with some truly fantastic food that is great value for money. Delicious seasonal produce, local ales and ciders on rotation and very friendly staff. They also have a huge outdoor space which is fab in the summer. This pub is a must visit and one of our favourite spots in the area.

We wondered into this little gem of a pub in Somerset one evening a few weeks ago. Our friends had recommended it to us and we knew we could expect fantastic service and great pub grub; but, what we didn't expect was a night of live folk music. This was the perfect accompaniment to the great local beer and tasty wine list. People were up and dancing, hopefully they will host a similar evening soon. We will definitely be there!

We decided to stop over at the Wyndham Arms for lunch on Sunday. As soon as we entered this charming village pub, we were welcomed by friendly bar staff who immediately made us feel very welcome and at home. The pub's atmosphere was buzzing with locals, which made our meal even more pleasant and enjoyable. We ordered Sunday roast, which was very reasonably priced and was brought to us by the friendly landlady. The delicious pork crackling and Yorkshire puddings were the highlight of the meal as they were enormous and the gravy was clearly made from scratch. All in all a perfect way to end our Sunday! We highly recommend.

Been coming to this pub for years and pleased to see it’s finally making some changes for the better. Popped in for lunch with family - 3 kids and 2 dogs - while camping near by and was really pleased to see they had fenced off the garden from the car park and created a proper pub garden and even a small play area. Staff were great and happy to accommodate my slightly picky kids and we loved the menu; Plenty of good old pub grub on there but clearly some new energy in the kitchen -we had some really delicious fresh fish and the chocolate pudding was knock out.

This once vibrant Somerset pub has recently been taken over and the early signs are a tad disturbing.

Second time here in the last year. I believe these are new owners since last visit, and it shows! Where do I start.. Pub wasn’t busy. About 3 staff in front office. Only about 4 tables in use inside. Was unsure to order food at...

Just moved to the village although have lived nearby for many years. Went in last night and had a really good meal. There was plenty to choose from (so don’t understand the previous reviewers comments) Double sided menu plus a specials board.

This has been our local for the last fourteen years. We went today for lunch. It has recently changed hands. At first all was well. Now, however, the only real ale on offer was either golden or stuff I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole. We looked at the new menu. Complete change. There wasn’t a single thing on the menu I could or would eat. The only steak on offer was rib eye at £22 and all the other prices had gone up too. No pub grub just restaurant type stuff at inflated prices. We did not even sit down but immediately left. Why do landlords do this? Not the best way to keep loyal customers.

We had dinner for 15 of us between Christmas and New Year 2017. They set aside an area for us which was great. Good pub grub, we had the best night as they had a guy there singing and playing the guitar which made the evening for our Aussie cousins..

Table of five. Three of us ate the roast. Found it adequate but smothered in gravy when it was put out. Bar service slow as it was busy and only one person serving. Was disappointed when we tried to get a coffee to be told no the kitchen is now closed. It was only 15.30hrs.

Whilst visiting friends in the area we had a meal here. Not only was the food wonderful, but the pricing reasonable as well. Most of all though was the wonderful atmosphere of a genuine English pub rather than the mock designer style so prevalent these days. Please don't change!

This is a really nice place. Great staff, good food, lovely atmosphere.

What an absolutely fantastic meal we were fortunate enough to enjoy. Pork steak melted in my mouth Andy the veg were cooked just how I like them. A very pleasant lady called Sally came and introduced herself to us. She was the chef that evening and there were certainly no complaints from our party of four. Good , high end Pub Food. A pot of good at the end of the rainbow. Please don't lose any of your charm.

my wife and i took our daughter and her 3 children for a pub sunday lunch,to celebate my wifes birthday. we have been to the Wyndham arms many times, so we knew what to expect. we all chose a roast meal,which was as good as expected, served quickly and an excellent choice of vegetables,and gorgeous giant yorkshires,even our youngest, who chose cheesy chips had a yorkshire on top..Delicious beef,or pork or lamb,or a mixture of all,a meal to die for,and excellent real ale ,to wash it down.

Very friendly landlord and lovely food. And allowed to take our dog in with us. My partner says it is the best Steak & Ale Pie he has ever eaten, generously full of meat. Similarly, my chicken and mushroom lasagne didn't stinge on the chicken. My only complaint is that my white wine, Pinot Grigio, tasted stale - like it had been open for a few days. I was too tired to question it so can't tell you what reply I would have received or what they would have done about it - opened a new bottle? Also, on asking what the Somerset Cheese Platter consisted of, we were told 'Stilton, Cheddar and Brie' which didn't seem very Somerset-y, unless of course the Stilton was local - I know you can get Somerset Brie and Cheddar is nearby - but it would have been good if there had been some local goat/sheep's cheeses or just a different cow's one on the list.

This was our second visit to the Wyndham Arms. We again found the staff and atmosphere very friendly and welcoming. We had our dog with us which I thought might be a problem but far from it the lovely lady behind the bar even gave him a biscuit.

A perfect pub in a perfect village.
