Came here on Friday evening prior to seeing an event at the Bath and West showground. At 6pm there…read morewere no parking spaces nearby so had to go into the church car park and walk. The bar was full of locals surrounding it so I had to walk up and down 2 or 3 times and ask to be let in to rider as the barman was busy talking to locals. Once I got to talk the choice of beers was good, both hand pulled and not. Only one white wine available. I was told someone would come to the table to take the food order. We waited 10 mins and nobody so I ordered at the bar 2 specials - sea bream. 30 mins later and nothing had come,so I asked the barman to ask. 10 mins later the fish came. It was a lovely whole fish with salad and new potatoes. Very well cooked and good quality. The meal with 1.5 pints and a glass of wine and water came to around £50. Overall the quality of the food was held back by the service level and focus of the staff on the locals - which is understandable as it seems to be the centre of the community with lots of very nice locals coming in and enjoying themselves - but it does make non-locals feel as if they are 'gate-crashing' a local event!

Lovely old pub/hotel; great food and a good landlord.read more

UNIQUE SELLING PROPOSITION Let's cut to the chase; the…read moreHighwayman in Zummerzet, definitely has a USP. If you prefer a civilised drive to the west on roads such as the A361 (Fosse Way) rather than dicing with death squeezing through the ranks of insane Balkan truck drivers on the M4/M5, then you will pass this establishment near Shepton Mallet. If it is a Monday, then STOP!!! The reason is that all other pubs within a radius of at least 15 miles or more seem to close on a Monday. Consequently, I you fancy a pint, a bite or just a P, then here is the P in USP! Friendly, large, spacious, reasonably-priced, good quality and above all OPEN! I agree with what reviewer jenjade said. To that, one should add that there is also extensive accommodation if you need it. A good stop on any day. On a Monday a MUST stop!

Rated 1 star because there is no option for any minus figures. Absolutely appalling place! AVOID AT…read moreALL COST! The owner has no idea how to run a bar and even less idea of how to talk to customers. Basically, he just couldnt care less about providing any sort of service. This was the only pub we came across the entire week that had no ale (blaming the weather)! Also the only pub all week that didnt serve Guinness. Neither did he stock any alternative ales in bottles, not even as a temporary measure while he had no draught options! His response was "you can drink whisky". He is rude, arrogant, and incompotent. Demands that customers ask for nothing that may cause him any slight inconvenience. He actually argued with us, even though it was himself who got our food order wrong, actually insisting that the guy with us who hates cheese, asked him for cheese (which was an optional extra that cost extra). I could go on and on! Like i said, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!

My friend Jack was trying to impress me with card tricks he learnt in Ghana at this pub and they…read morewere honestly the worst, most boring card tricks I've ever seen. 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.
