The best restaurants in Blagdon and Churchill North Somerset South West

Really really long wait for the food!! Another customer just left due to the wait.

Excellent value roast beef lunch, good portion, served with excellent selection of veg and tender beef. Spoilt by the food and plates being lukewarm. Should have sent food back to be warmed up but we were very hungry,

We went here for a surprise Birthday meal we were all made to feel very Welcome. I asked the staff for a recommendation on a Curry as I wanted to try something different. I was recommended to try the Chicken Chat. WOW it was Amazing. All our meals were lovely even my fussy teenager who doesn't eat curry loved his sticky chicken and egg fried rice. We will definitely be back again.

What a great little pub great food great staff and dogs are very welcome

Fab view and fireplace .wil Def return as menu looks great

What a find, lovely free house with great landlady knows her trade and cooks brilliantly. We stayed here for my daughter's birthday, evening meal and breakfast couldn't have been better. A real privately owned country pub tucked in great countryside, these need supporting as many are disappearing ❤️

Great food great service . Food come out quickly very satisfied

This was such a lovely meal, seriously a great Thai. We’ll be back!

Review for The Churchill in Churchill – Christmas Meal Price: £84.95 per person As regulars who have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere at The Churchill, we were excited to book our Christmas meal here. We arrived at midday, but despite this being a pre-planned and pre-paid event, we waited an excessive amount of time to be served any drinks. When the drinks did arrive, many options were unavailable, and others—like the Prosecco—were served at the wrong temperature. We understand that handling a full house during a Christmas service can be overwhelming, but the issues we encountered were not about timing—they were about the quality and care (or lack thereof) put into the food and drinks served. The food was, quite frankly, unacceptable for a Christmas meal, especially at this price point. There seemed to be a fundamental lack of understanding of basic seasoning, cooking methods, and what people might want to eat at a festive gathering. The advertised “festive nibbles” turned out to be cheap maize snacks, bland cheese on sticks, and canned pineapple. There was no creativity or effort here, just a lazy attempt to fill the table with something—anything—regardless of quality or taste. Each starter showed a lack of care and understanding of the dishes: • French Onion Soup: This classic French dish is renowned for its rich, flavorful broth and a topping of gratinated cheese. What we received was a watery, flavorless liquid with a few onions floating in it. There was no depth, no seasoning, and no respect for the dish. • Bruschetta: This Italian staple was rendered unrecognizable—a thick, dry slice of bread (with no butter or olive oil) topped with three halved cherry tomatoes. It was unimaginative, unseasoned, and wholly unappetizing. • Mushrooms: These were described on the menu as being prepared with pancetta, shallots, and panko breadcrumbs. What arrived were flavorless mushrooms topped with bland cheddar. None of the promised elements were present, and the dish was devoid of texture and seasoning. The roast dinner was marginally better but still lacked the care and thoughtfulness expected of a Christmas meal: • Mixed Vegetables: These were dry, flavorless, and uninspired. • Roast Potatoes: Cheap white potatoes had been used, resulting in soapy-tasting roasties, some of which were burned. Proper preparation and seasoning could have resolved this easily. • Turkey: Moist and well-cooked, this was the one redeeming element, but it wasn’t enough to make up for the rest of the plate’s shortcomings. Desserts were a final disappointment. Not only were we not informed that ice cream was unavailable, but the crème brûlée served was far from the classic French dessert it should have been. It arrived with canned squirty cream and chopped strawberries—an amateur presentation that showed no understanding of the dish. We attempted to share our feedback with staff but were met with defensive and aggressive responses. This kind of reaction is unacceptable in hospitality and further soured our experience. As someone with extensive experience in hospitality, I understand the challenges of running a busy kitchen and catering to large groups, but the issues here stemmed from a lack of care, knowledge, and effort. The food demonstrated a fundamental misunderstanding of basic cooking techniques, seasoning, and menu planning. At £84.95 per person, this meal was not even close to the standard expected, and it certainly wasn’t reflective of the price.

Lovely meal and great service from Deb

What a wonderful pub! Easily missed, since off the main road, but so pleased we found it. Cosy, rustic pub serving excellent wholesome and tasty food. Lunch time only menu and with only a few choices, but every dish is an absolute joy. The service of the great food and drinks is also superb, with plenty of choice of local ciders and beers. Such a rarity to find such a real gem these days!

My wife and I had a very mixed experience on Saturday the 8th of February. The waitress serving us was very attentive and friendly, until she wasn't. We had delicious starters and equally delicious mains. The service was great, until we finished our mains. When the waitress cleared our plates, we eventually decided to have a look at the dessert menu, to which we were told they'd be brought right over. They weren't. We waited about 15 minutes and the desert menu didn't arrive, so we went up to the bar and found a couple. Then, after another 15 minutes of waiting, no one came to take our dessert order, so we then flagged down a separate waitress and asked for the bill. It's not like we were sat in a corner out of the way, we were sat right next to the kitchen, our original waitress walked past multiple times and didn't check in with us. It's as if the staff just stopped doing their job after a certain point. We've eaten at The Langford Inn a number of times before, and it's always been brilliant, but for some reason this experience was underwhelming, and left us feeling quite disappointed. We won't be rushing back any time soon…

Stopped here for the first time and so glad we did. The welcome was warm and friendly. The carvery was amazing hot tasty and great value for money. Lot's of choice from the carvery and vegetables were also cooked very well. I would recommend booking as it was almost full when we got there at 3pm and was still very busy when we left st 5pm .

On the way to the airport, the building itself looked nice but this didn’t extend to the interior which is tatty and tired. The menu is fairly sparse and uninspiring. The place felt like it could do with a really good clean. Wife had a veggie burger which was OK but my fish (F&C) was overcooked and dry, same with the batter, cold mushy peas. Nobody checked back to ensure our food was as bland as it looked. Slow to clear up ours and others tables. The place did seem to attract some locals who had a great grasp of the local dialect including some inappropriate words that I thought had been left in the 1950s.

I wrote a Review 3 months ago after our Walking Group visit was a great success at this lovely Pub. We had pre arranged to park all our cars at 10am and have lunch about 1:30pm which was a very friendly gesture by the Proprietors. Twelve of us had an excellent lunch which varied from soup and a sandwich to my second go at Cow Pie. ( This is delicious ) The service was ultra efficient at a large table in a warm area, the young staff were great. We will definitely return, and weather permitting will sit outside and enjoy the magnificent view over the lake.
