The light walls and the heavy furniture makes the perfect setting for the amazing food you're about to order. I had the best vegetarian lasagne ever, just propped up with all the lovely vegetables you could never imagine could go into a lasagne. And that 's how I world describe all the food. It looks and tastes deliciously. The staff is super friendly and there's a small car park across the street. But if you walk I would suggest you do - you'll need to walk of the lovely desserts ;) Be sure to book in advance and now that the kitchen closes at 21.00 on a Friday.

The waitress worked hard to accommodate us by jig-saw puzzling small tables together to make us comfortable and felt important. I love this place. Of course I love EVERYTHING about Wells.

However the female bartender was completely rude she did not want to take our drink order and when she did she had someone else give us our drinks and charge us. Mind you I hadn't said anything to this woman other than my friend and i wanted 2 beers. She then went on to call me fat and say that the men sitting at the bar would take her to town rather than me, rather rude and promiscuous language but ok we took our seats. Then I heard the guys at the bar say that the real issue was not that I was fat it was that I'm Mexican. So I didn't order any food for fear they would spit in it. My companion had already ordered so he ate it when it came out. When she brought the food she came back saying "sorry about that" and I said it's ok, but then she made it clear that she was talking to my male companion and not apologizing to me. I was also told that if I had any issues that I could leave. I get that this pub has been standing for many years but the owners are stuck in the 1500s if that's how they treat their customers. For reference I am Mexican American and I visited Wells in 2019, I would not recommend this pub to any people of color. I got way better service at another pub just around the block. I also visited London, Bath, and Wales and this was the only location where I was discriminated against.

I asked for some chips (crisps for the Brits) at the Bar and was asked if I thought "the place was a Bl**dy Restaurant" LOL The beers are all real ales, and served warm. In Fairness it does serve some basic food Items, Like Faggot and peas, which is nicer than it sounds. There are usually a whole bunch of cavers there at the weekends, but sometimes the Folk music crowd will get the washing boards out, and hammer out some jigs. Legend has it that Bob Dylan visited the place back in his Sixties heyday. Also there is a cavern right underneath the pub!! If you are in the Area don't miss it.

An Expensive Way to Ruin Your Evening…read more If you're looking for overpriced food, glacial service, a menu designed by someone who's just discovered oat milk, and a manager with all the charm of a parking warden, this is the place for you. We booked a table for three (plus three small, well-behaved dogs) a week in advance. Despite giving them a heads-up about the dogs, we were thoughtfully crammed next to a large, noisy party in the busiest corner of the pub, like being seated in the mosh pit of a Coldplay concert. Then began the Great Wait: 40 minutes of being spectacularly ignored, watching other tables -- who arrived long after us -- enjoy drinks, starters, and main courses before anyone even glanced in our direction. I've seen glaciers move faster. The menu? Sparse and uninspiring, like they hired a "Head of Creativity" from a tofu conference. It leans heavily on vegan and gluten-free options, which is fine if the food is good, but not when you're being charged artisan prices for supermarket-standard fare. I ordered the chicken burger, allegedly marinated in gochujang. Now, I'm not saying they lied, but if there was any gochujang involved, it must have been whispered to the chicken from across the kitchen. The burger was basically fine.. think Wetherspoons on a good day, but at £20, you'd expect a little more than "vaguely edible." All of this could have been forgiven -- overpriced, underwhelming food is practically a national tradition -- but the real lowlight was the manager. Rude, grumpy, and radiating the energy of a man who peaked around 2003. After one of our dogs (who had been quietly snoozing under the table) barked when a waitress nearly stepped on him, the manager stormed over to deliver a stern warning: "One more bark and you're out." Good to know they take noise so seriously, if only the same policy applied to their karaoke-sized party next door. In hindsight, we should have left right then, sparing ourselves the disappointing food and a final bill that felt like it should have come with a ski mask and a note saying, "Hand over the cash." In summary: this pub is trading entirely on fond memories and pre-pandemic TripAdvisor reviews. Avoid it unless you particularly enjoy being overcharged, underfed, and scolded like a naughty child for existing.

Service was quick and friendly, and she went out of her way to find us sauces etc for the table. My veggie Wellington was beautiful and everyone else enjoyed their meal too. Would definitely visit again.
