Brilliant new gastropub offering great food and service, in lovely comfortable surroundings. What a find and what great addition to Chew Magna. March update: great Sunday lunch, well above average and service excellent too. Booking essential. Do try the spectacular brownies for pud, with honeycomb and orange sauce. simply gorgeous!

Never been here before. My wife and rI booked for the night en-route back to London. Charming - putting it mildly - pub/hotel in wondrous Somerset village. Had dinner- simply superb! Deserves a Michelin star. Lovage and torched mackerel starter - unbelievable - followed by best whole Plaice I’ve ever had ! Served with sobrasada butter and crisped Aioli potatoes. - could have been in Puerto Pollensa. Please don’t go there. - I want to keep it a secret.

The first visit post pandemic and the changes since my last attendance are quite astonishing and a pleasure to behold. Extensive indoor reconfiguration and decor after an expensive refit internally and externally, the garden is most attractively laid out. All it needs is conducive weather (not available on this visit) to be enjoyed. Money has been well spent. Not on the Cask Marque Ale Trail, although it should be. A Bristol Beer Factory 'Tme to Burn' (4%ABV) was well worth a Cask Marque accreditation. The front of staff were also quick to serve a sampler before purchase just as those who are Cask Marque trained are taught to do. Also worth a mention, Mike, our waiter on the day, courteous and attentive but not intrusive, clearly well attuned to customer facing protocol. The meals served, from a menue with many original recipes, was beyond reproach. My own starter, modified to my request and my dining colleague's faddy peculiarities, were catered for without demur. A most enjoyable evening - to be repeated.

We had a very pleasant Friday lunch there. The lunch menu isn’t quite as interesting as the dinner one, but it’s still well worth a visit. It’s was full in the dinning area so worth booking a table. Good food and friendly staff.

Good Sunday lunch but we were shoved on a table in the drinks/waiting area rather than main dining area despite booking over a month in advance! We complained to the manager but didn’t receive any empathy. Shame as this ruined our dining experience especially as my children were visiting from Canada and were looking forward to a traditional pub lunch.
