    The Windwhistle Inn is large pub and restaurant between Cricket St Thomas and Crewkerne. It has a…read morelarge car park with one of the best views you are likely to get of the sweeping Somerset countryside. The Windwhistle is a large Inn, with a variety of different types of seating, form the spacious sun-soaked tables of the Orangery, that leads to outside tables that maximise the magnificent view, to the more classical pub tables in the bar. It even has its own forty seater restaurant and function room, this is a big place. Wanting a decent meal, after a dining disaster the previous evening, we would not be disappointed. Friendly and helpful staff, that seemed genuinely interested in what we had to say, was a promising start, as was the wide ranging menu and well stocked bar. The menu had a good range of dishes, from standard dishes like scampi and curry, to the daily specials, above the fireplace. My wife and I plumped for the special of prawn and monkfish Thai Curry. When the curry arrived I was staggered by the portion size, over ten sizeable chunks of monkfish, huge tiger prawns, sticky rice, a spicy Thai curry sauce and a huge bowl of noodles. It tasted as good as it looked, full of flavour, a hearty filling meal, just what we wanted. It was fairly pricey at around £14, but worth every penny. The strawberry pavlova dessert to follow was equally generous and very tasty. Rounding of the meal a good strong cup of coffee, I was tempted to give the Windwhistle five stars for the overall blend of great service, wonderful food and a brilliant setting, but that would require further visits; just wished we didn't live so far away!

    One visit only so brief review. Food was very good, nicely…read morepresented and fair value. Menu was about right in terms of variety without excess. Nice dining/bar areas. Orangery looked a bit soulless but it wasn't in use at the time. Good selection of interesting local ales. Only missteps were the food seemed to take too long to get to the table given it was such a quiet lunch (40 minutes), and service was friendly but a bit uneven. Nice young ladies who might benefit from a little more guidance around customer service.
