• British • Yeovil

Booked 26 times today

AA Accredited - COVID-19 ConfidentWe are not a ‘fancy pants’ establishment. Not in the least. We offer good quality, home-cooked, locally sourced (where possible) food. 90% of our menu is made on the premises. Certainly not ‘Pub Grub’ but not ‘Gastro Pub’ either. It’s good value for money. However, our standards are high, very high. Not only in the quality of the food that comes into and leaves the kitchen but also in the presentation, the delivery to the table and overall customer service. We’re definitely not ‘Silver Service’ either but all of our staff are attentive, smartly dressed and will always go that extra mile wherever they can. These are just some of the reasons we were awarded the Taste of the West GOLD award in 2019. We are a dog friendly establishment, very dog friendly. However, please tell us at the time of booking so that we can place you in our Bar area , as opposed to our Restaurant.

Dined on 5 Mar 2025
The event we were attending was fully booked, starting at 7.30 p.m. So we booked our table for 5.30 p.m. when the venue started serving dinner, so that we had plenty of time. This worked very well. We will do the same thing later this month for another event. The venue became very busy, but ordering was very well organised, service was quick and efficient. The menu was varied and portions were generous. We would recommend a booking at this venue.
