The best restaurants serving British food in Beckington and Selwood Mendip South West

We stayed the night in room 1. We couldn’t have asked for more, absolutely stunning and all really well thought through. The staff are lovely, really accommodating, the pub itself is beautifully decorated and has everything you need. Both dinner and breakfast were spot on a great portion sizes. Lovely garden, can’t wait to visit again when we’re in the area! I would highly recommend this to stay or visit for food

The Fox is een erg leuk restaurant. We stonden op een camping in de omgeving en we zochten een goed restaurant. The Fox vind je niet zomaar, deze zit buiten het centrum van het stadje Frome. We hebben er erg lekker gegeten en gedronken. Echt een aanrader! Niet te groot, echt leuk. Ik denk dat hier veel locale bewoners komen. Ze zijn sinds een half jaar ook een camping begonnen. Die hadden we niet gevonden en daarom staan we ergens anders. Bediening is wel erg snel, Nederlanders zitten graag wat langer aan rafel. Echter erg lekker gegeten en gedronken, ik kan u dit restaurant van harte aanbevelen. The Fox, thank for the very nice dinner!

Lovely location. Children played in their playground then we went for lunch. Two chickens fish and chips. One ham eggs and chips. Service was good. Portion size was huge. More than happy to return and also recommend. Meals were delicious.

I called here for lunch whilst working in the area, my three visits to clients today had all over-run. With a return-trip needed later in the day I decided to stay in the area, rather than return home for lunch; only to drive back here again 45 minutes later. With my Partner away visiting family, I also decided to have my main meal of the day whilst out; rather than cooking for myself in the evening at home. This is a pub that I have passed many times on my way to work-calls, but it wasn’t until recently that I have needed to make work-related visits to Beckington itself. So, it was time to acquaint myself with this attractive village-centre hostelry. The pub sits right on the junction of the Bath Road and the Warminster Road. I correctly assumed this was a very busy junction before the Beckington by-pass (A36) was built in 1989. Apparently for years, the T-junction in the centre of the village was grid-locked during busy commuter times, and especially-so in the holiday season. This attractive village is now very quiet, mostly with local traffic only. This is just as well, as there appears to be no private carpark for this pub. I parked-up in the residential area on the Warminster Road; there were plenty of spaces, but I guess that evening and weekend parking may be more of a challenge? So, to lunch. It was a few minutes before 14:00, and knowing nothing about the Woolpack, I popped into the bar and asked if lunch was still being served. It was, and I was invited to choose a table, which I did; selecting one with a street-view. The menus were on the table, and there was an attractive ‘special’ of a burger and a drink for £12.00. I had however enjoyed a Wagyu burger at home on the previous evening, so I chose Hunter’s Chicken and a bottle of ginger beer (my favourite ‘Fentimans’ brand). Service was very good; in that it took about 15 minutes for my meal to arrive (by which time I had almost finished my drink). I am actually encouraged by a modest delay in a quiet pub, because it indicates that meals have been properly oven-cooked rather than slopped into a tub and ‘nuked’. My meal looked great, the oven-dish containing the chicken really looked attractive and as though it had been conventionally oven-cooked. The Hunter’s BBQ sauce was very dark (almost black) and very sticky: being very good indeed. The chicken breast was well-trimmed and beautifully cooked. The main plat with fries and onion rings were crisp and oil-free, and the small side-salad was a ‘small side-salad’. Job done, meal all eaten, but a second Fentiman’s ginger beer was knocked-back before I left my table. I still had some time to spare, so I went for about an hour’s stroll around the area, seeing some lovey views in the late autumn sunshine. Beckington is certainly set in some lovely countryside.

well really didn't hate it, when we visited found that it was out of business. what a shame in a lovely place in the country.

We were staying at the attached premier inn at Frome and were able to book a table easily on the day, and the staff managed to squeeze us in a bit earlier than booking online. Great food, fillet steak & chicken & rib combo. Lovely staff, and many thanks to our server Abi-Ma, got us everything we wanted.
