TBR® Inspection Report:

Really great pub lovely friendly staff and I honestly had one of the best sirloin steaks I’ve ever had cooked to perfection. Considering it was a Friday night and busy the food arrived in a very reasonable time.

We were in Somerset for a long weekend and dropped in to The Royal Oak for Sunday lunch - excellent service, well presented and very tasty food.

This is a delightful pub with a well above average restaurant. Everything was well and individually cooked and main course options are good. Well worth more visits.

Absolutely amazing place to enjoy a fantastic meal with great hosts and barstaff! Very thoughtful and accommodating before we even got to try the sumptuous food! 5 stars doesn't do it justice.

My daughter and I have just enjoyed a 3 night stay and can’t thank Ali enough for her warm welcome on arrival and her kind attention during our stay. The rooms were warm and well furnished with everything you need for a short stay. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the one small issue with the shower was dealt with immediately. The food was delicious and well priced and the full english breakfasts with veggie option set us up each. Ali is a credit to the Brewers Arms and we’ll definitely be visiting again as we enjoyed our stay so much.

We were visting the area and visited The Brewers Arms for a meal on the Saturday night. The pub had a good atmosphere. The restaurant was really nice and the food was lovely. The staff were excellent. We will definitely be back when we are next in the area.
