    The Devonshire Arms is a Pub come Restaurant come Hotel that sits beautifully in the centre of Long…read moreSutton, just off the village green. 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.

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.

    Before claiming this as the best pub in Hampshire I think you should probably visit a few more of…read moreHampshire's pubs... This is far from fine let alone the finest and there are far better pubs within ten minutes of here. Before you read any further you should know that for what is a fairly remote pub this is far from driver friendly - just shy of £4 for a tonic water is pretty disappointing if you have had to drive - which most do. As for the food the menu is pretty outdated and very bland. The quality of the food was also poor. The pork was on special and was barely edible - it was so chewy the majority of it got left on the plate. I had the rump steak which was very bland and poorly cooked - at £17 I would expect much better. The cider was very nicely kept and well served - Aspall's Harry Sparrow... Although it was raining today I can see how the Mayfly might be nice for a drink on a hot summer afternoon; with numerous tables on the edge of the river this pub sits in a beautiful location. I would not return here for food but will definitely go back for a couple of drinks on a lazy day with nice weather. The staff were are worth a note. Extremely friendly, helpful and attentive.

    I was lucky enough to see a Tweet from the owner and head chef offering a deal that was so good, I…read moredrove for 4 hours to see if it was a good as it looked. It was. Once you go in, its warm and lovely inside with a real fire and staff that are about as passionate as you can get. And then you see the view. Its incredible. We luckily got there just in time to watch the sun set in the distance, over the stunning countryside. Perfect. Our dinner was outstanding. We paid just £150.00 for a 10 course tasting menu, bed and breakfast. Dinner was not off the standard menu, as my wife doesn't eat meat, however, Brett, the very talented owner/chef catered perfectly with dishes that include scallops, mackerel, risotto with pumpkin and black truffle, sea bass and salmon. I was even given a beef main course of fillet, a mini burger and braised beef with marrow bone. Incredible! After all the above, we had to endure desserts. Fortunately, they were equally good. Frozen pineapple ravioli followed by a crowd pleasing trio of chocolate deserts. To finish off, I fancied a brandy. They only had Somerset brandy - as I was told, they do EVERYTHING they can to keep everything local, including the brandy. I couldn't be happier. I spoke to Brett, the head chef and he said he was just happy cooking great food. I think if he carries on at the standard that he is currently at, he will certainly end up with 3 AA rosettes and maybe even a Michelin star. Its really that good. Back to breakfast. It was simply perfect. Great ingredients, the eggs are from the families own chickens in the garden, he bacon and sausage are from a local farm. All the ingredients are top class with great cooking. I have eaten breakfasts at 30+ venues in my home city of Birmingham. This would be the best. Its that good. It was certainly one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten! The cooking is top class too.
