The best restaurants in Islemoor South Somerset South West

Excellent fish, chips & mushy peas!! Homemade curry sauce very good too. Well worth a visit on the monthly themed food nights

Sunday lunch is the best I've had out! Love the place.

Had an amazing burger, possibly the best I've ever had. Great service and excellent food. My stepson and I left feeling extremely full and both agreed that the food was very tasty.

Went with a party of friends for Sunday lunch and was extremely disappointed at the standard of food. We were sat at a table outside the kitchens yet everything was served lukewarm with glutinous gravy. The meat was just piled on the plate burying, or should I say, concealing the small potato. The carrot, parsnip, yes singular, were greasy, whereas the broccoli, red cabbage and cauliflower cheese were missing some much needed warmth. The waitress kindly offered to bring us any additional vegetables so to supplement the meagre portion of roasts we asked for more along with some additional gravy. What was not mentioned was that these items would then be charged for, even £1.50 for the gravy. Not recommended and neither will we be returning.

This pub is, quite rightly, often empty. As locals to Fivehead we used to visit regularly until the absolutely overbearing familiarity and sarcasm of the landlord got too much for us. Usually there are just a couple of regulars in there, one of whom falls asleep at the bar most nights.The food is quite bland, and with the bar often abandoned it's very hard to even order it. If a dispute about an order is entered into, then a "Landlord is always right" attitude is adopted.The fact that the landlord puts insulting messages to locals in the village newsletter because they don't frequent the pub doesn't help to make it more inviting.A big problem for disabled people is that the disabled toilet is actually used as a store room and is inaccessible without moving chairs and a table out of the way.

The pub is under new management and so new menu, staff, decor too. We received a warm welcome in the cosy bar area. The draught beer was excellent and so many tempting dishes on the menu. We enjoyed our lunches and will be back soon. So lovely to have a local getting everything right. Their hard work and dedication is shining through. Thank you!

Stopped in at the Bell Inn for dinner and a beer, I had fish and chips. It was delicious and great value. A really friendly pub.

Stayed nearby, and this was traditional pub was recommended to us by the local owner of our accommodation. Large car park, lovely pub, dog friendly, food was fresh and pipping hot and delicious 😋 Friendly service, would definitely visit again.
