When you see a real wood fired oven in the corner you expect the kitchen to make its own pizza dough - they either didn't or it was poorly made. The base was no different to a chilled supermarket offering - very disappointing. The topping, however, was tasty. The second visit was much more successful - the roast hake was very good. Coffee: poor flat white, as is the case in 99% of cafes, pubs and restaurants in the UK; espresso [on the second visit], not too bad.

Apparently it's been refurbished in the the last few weeks, and I have to say I was mightily impressed. Good range of beers in a light and airy bar, nicely refurbished. Onto the food; a small but excellent selection available. As you may know if you've seen any of my other reviews, my wife is gluten and lactose intolerant. The front of house was excellent with them providing as much information as possible, backed up by the kitchen to the point of changing dishes to suit. If you are in the position of dealing with dietary requirements you'll know how difficult it can be and the White Hart score 10 for 10 for effort and results. What else can I say other than DO visit this Pub.

Stopped in here on the recommendation of one of my wife's colleagues. What the other reviewers…read morehave said is spot-on. This is a top-notch, traditional country pub. The food was excellent. Some of the best fish and chip's I've had in the UK (fish was great and the chips tasted triple-fried; amazing). Great selection of draft ales and ciders. Nice staff and clientele (not standoffish even though we're obviously not from these parts). I loved the big flag-stones in the pub and the open fire places; was cozy and inviting inviting. Everything felt rustic and authentic. Plenty of parking in the private lot.

Kids are offered small plates of the adult menu - although if pushed,can rustle up a fishcake or scampi and chips. On Sundays there is a choice of 3 roasts with all the trimmings, a veggie option and a fish dish. The roast pork loin was tender and delicious and the slow roast lamb lean and falling apart. For 7 adults x2 courses plus a kids portion, 6 puddings, wine, beer and cider plus a coffee came to £148 - about £20 pp. Outstanding value and a great foodie destination!

After a visit to the impressive and informative website we booked a room for a Sunday in mid June. Our late afternoon Sunday evening arrival was greeted with sunshine and Calvin checked us in and showed us to our room, which was stunning. We weren't sure what to expect in such a tiny village but it's fair to say that no expense was spared in the fitting out of the new bedrooms block in a building separate from the main pub / restaurant. The linens were gorgeous, the bathroom spacious and the rooms well fitted with all mod cons! We had dinner in the dining room with some old friends who came over form South Petherton. They hadn't been in a while but were happy for an excuse to dine at the Red Lion as the food has a good reputation among the locals. No one was disappointed and a decent wine list and selection of real ales helped to make the evening very sociable. Breakfast was fresh and tasty and served with individually and freshly ground coffee, which was a perfect way to start a buy day of site seeing. We didn't check the wardrobe on our way out and realized when we got to Stonehenge that we had left our jackets behind. A couple of phone calls later and Calvin was on the case eventually and graciously getting our jackets to Dublin for us. All is now good in the world. We'd highly recommend the Red Lion in Babcary.

The Red Lion is split into two eating areas: restaurant and pub. The pub is lovely and cosy, and we chose to et here. The food is your typical gastronomic fare and we tucked into paella and the lamb shank, though the menu varies daily. Dessert was also excellent, particularly recommend the affogato. It seems to be very popular with locals in the area, and you'll see a very full car park on arrival (you have to drive due to remoteness). Listen to the owner's recommendations, he's very eccentric but obviously passionate about the food they serve.

I was so bored and miserable because he kept getting them wrong and he was wearing baggy trousers without a belt. He kept pulling up his trousers and there were some nice ladies there who had to keep looking away because his big ugly bum kept going on show. Eventually they complained and the manager had to come and ask jack to do the tricks outside in the pouring rain. Jack got upset and started asking around if anyone liked magic and everyone groaned and said no please go away. The staff were really nice about it though and the drinks and food was good.

The old inn has been recently spruced up and is perhaps a little too modern for my likely, but the olde world touches to the restaurant, bar and hotel are it's saving grace. I went here for a big birthday lunch with the family and the food was excellent. I certainly couldn't fault it, even if the furniture, menu presentation and other aspects reminded me a little tooo much of All Bar One. The hotel is perfect for a Somerset visit, being in the middle of many great attractions, from Glastonbury to Montacute House, Cheddar Gorge and much, much, more. If you are looking for a weekend getaway then this is as good a spot as any, and although the rooms are on the pricier side, you can certainly tell the difference between the Devonshire and other pub hotels in the area.

WOW! That's the best word to describe our visit last week…read more We were a disparate group of 12, ranging from 9 months to 76 years with a couple of food allergies thrown in for good measure. We had a very friendly reception when we arrived, shown straight to our table and drinks order taken. Then the food order. As touched on above, we had a two members of our party that are intolerant to both gluten and dairy (henceforth referred to as "the Two" for the sake of brevity); our waiter went to the kitchen to check what would be suitable (this is where it gets good), he came back and explained that more-or-less every dish on the menu, was either suitable or could be adjusted to suit. My Wife (one of the intolerant ones, love saying that!) would have been speechless, had she not been overwhelmed by having a choice, not something she's used to these days (her "choice" is normally limited to ham, egg & chips). The usual bread and butter was served, with gluten free bread and little dishes of balsamic vinegar and olive oil for "the Two"; Amazing! My grand-daughter ( 4 years old) decided she would like fish and a Yorkshire pudding, which you will not be surprised to hear is not a standard menu option, but it was duly served and enjoyed. I have reviewed this place before, and I must just mention that the interior has had a revamp since our last visit and very nice it is too, but to get back to the food: Exemplary. Cooked to perfection. I did specifically comment on the vegetables last time and I will do so again; after the event I always remember the fantastic way the vegetables are cooked, but the memory does not do them justice. To taste them again surpasses the recollection. And "The two" had a good range of sorbets to choose from; I had the Chocolate Torte with praline ice cream. If you haven't got my drift yet, I would totally recommend this place. Please do give it a try.
