The best restaurants serving British food in South Somerset South West

Bar staff need to be trained better. It's a joke today

Lured by a FB ad of a 'new menu' we tried lunch here. The restaurant didn't look prepared; posters on some tables, no welcoming atmosphere. We went through to the bar where there were menus. It was a chilly damp day but no fire, the fireplace looked unused; the decor was dark & 'querky'. We chose a pork casserole & Thai curry. After ordering we were told that there would be a wait as he was busy with another order (though the place seemed deserted) & the food arrived in half an hour. The curry was meaty but sitting on a base of glutinous rice, not at all like the illustration on the FB page where the rice was in a separate bowl served with green beens; there were no beans at all. The casserole was a bowl of thick soup with no discernable potato (as stated in menu) but the taste was OK. So, very disappointing food, in a dreary room. We felt sorry for the bar person who was trying hard. Won't be back.

No idea on the food front but a pub is a pub in layman's terms. Enough said.

Staying at Premier Inn, breakfast and dinner next door - good value meal deal. Good selection on menu and drinks. Friendly, helpful efficient service.

Service very slow , staff were arguing amongst themselves, food poor quality and poorly presented , lots of dirty tables waiting to be cleared

Very reasonably priced for standard pub grub and the staff were very friendly. Ours was a party of 6, on Mothering Sunday, and the order came out quick enough and all together. Dropped a star on service because an item was missed of a mixed grill, they overlooked that we had paid a deposit and some menu items weren't available. Could understand the latter if we had sat down late in the day but our table was booked for 1.15pm?
