The best restaurants serving British food in Eggwood South Somerset South West

Visited for a weekday lunch and will definitely be going back soon! Service was fantastic, we were looked after by a very funny and friendly lady who made us feel very welcome. The food was excellent, probably the best pie I’ve had for a long time and everyone else in our party said similar about their meals. Good beers too, and a lovely atmosphere.

My husband and I have been going to The Lord Poulet over the decades and always had a fabulous meal - until yesterday. The atmosphere and staff good as usual. My husband had a roast artichoke and mushroom dish. We had thought it would be Jerusalem artichokes being in season and globe artichokes not in season- but it was the latter. The fish filled half the dinner plate, looked disappointing- and was. The artichokes were just stringy but the staff happily took the dish away and a new choice was made. Our companions had monk fish on a bed of purple sprouting, the latter so badly trimmed that the woody stalks were inedible and the softer pieces had to be pruned from the tree of a stem! They both reported that the fish was overcooked. Our companions were offered a free pudding. The fish and chips were excellent! The puddings too were ok. However, it’s an expensive meal if you have to fuss over poor quality and very distracting from more pleasant conversation. It’ll be a while before we go back again!

Amazing family evening! 12 of us had a great time! Had a great time - great food and service, Thoroughly recommend this pub/restaurant x
