please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Doesn't operate as a pub but as a B&B for guests only.

Food ok but not very welcoming. Nice building
|
beer limited but OK. No food served week day lunchtime but no mention of this on the website so shan't bother again.
|
More of a restaurant and hotel than a pub,3 handpumps but only Wadworth 6X available.Seems to be known as "The Dusthole" aswell as The Kings Arms these days,6/10

This pub does not welcome "outsiders". We visited on a Friday night as were staying close by, while inviting from the outside upon entering the pub we were met with suspicion. The locals were unfriendly and one couple even complained that we were "sat at their table".
A large dog occupied a majority of the space in the pub and we sat away from the bar to avoid the dog as we had ordered food. However once our food arrived the dog approached the table and sat with its nose inchesd from the plates. I asked for the dog to be removed twice and each time he was half-heartedly called and allowed to return to his position within minutes.
Surely if the pub wants to advertise itself as a food premises the dog should be seperated during food service hours

Not a lot changed here. Not overly friendly and prices extortionate.
|
pleasant enough, but nothing special.
Better than average for Shepton Mallett is about the best I can say.
|
Had quiet drink here. Beer OK, staff friendly, food expensive
|
Not a very friendly pub. Nice looking though
|
Pleased to see the original landlord back. Feels more friendly.Hope the locals will give it another try.
|
Now back in the hands of the original landlord, and I'm sure we'll get the old atmosphere back soon. I am so pleased.

Landlord unwelcoming so guess that is why it is quiet!! Nice looking pub. Not a pub for youngsters.
