    Well deserved, popular pub halfway between Langport and Somerton (funnily enough!) Good reputation for food, well kept beer.

    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.

It was very welcoming and clean with all new bathrooms with cozy robes, complimentary beer, fizzy water, biscuits, and we enjoyed some great food. Breakfast was included. Also very dog friendly! They provided a dog bed for the family dog. Oh and very lovely beer brewed on side! Will be back for sure!

    An absolute gem of a pub in one of Devon's prettiest, most tucked away coastal villages. The…read moreMason's Arms is, quite simply, a fantastic place in every sense of the word. I've stopped off for a snack or a quick drink a couple of times, and it's always really impressed me, and the lunch my parents and I had recently ranks as one of the best pub dinners the Andrews family can remember. Their crab sandwiches were fresh, as were the fish in their delicious creamy leek fish stew, while the ploughmans was huge. Desserts of chocolate and pecan brownie and banana fritters with toffee sauce were gobbled up. Ok, it's not cheap for a Devon pub, but the food is worth every penny - there was hardly anything on the menu I didn't want to scoff down. The pub itself is a charming sprawl of wooden rooms, and a small seating area out the front. It's homely and although the staff run a slick operation, they're still friendly and helpful. The pub was recently taken over by St Austell Brewery, so there's a good range of their beers, plus a couple of guest ales. This includes one local beer brewed in Branscombe. It's quaint, delicious, comfy and sits in one of the most stunning areas of the Devon coast. It is, quite simply, a perfect pub.

    I've never been to The Half Moon before so I didn't have any expectations. I learnt from the…read morelandlord that the place had changed manager three times over the last three years and he was hoping to break that trend. He's brought a new team of chefs in with him, so I'm told. Those chefs certainly seem to be earning their money as they turned out excellent gastro pub style food. Not quite fine dining but not far off. Looking at the menu I could have chosen any of the starters or mains. I went for the goats cheese "mousse" for starters and fish from the specials board for mains. The portion of goats cheese I had was very generous (some places only give you a small amount because of cost I guess) although I felt it was a bit heavy to be a mousse. It was really nice all the same. The fish was perfectly cooked and the pommes anna was a perfect accompaniment. The pub's decor probably didn't quite match the quality of the food and I think some people will be surprised how good the food it. The was a really good range on the menu from unusual items (I'd never had samphire before) to regular items such as burgers and fish and chips. I'd definitely return and have already recommended it to friends. Check it out yelpers.

They seem to be good for families, although I don't have kids and nor do I particularly like them.. So that's probably a negative for me. The evening menu was great, quite pubby with the fish and chips, burger and steak, but they threw in some nicer things like scallops with cauliflower and bacon, plaice with caper butter and something else that I didn't order... It's not too pricey, so well worth a trip if you're in Somerset. As for Sunday, it was refreshing to see a pub that actually knows what a decent Sunday lunch is. It had non-standard veg going on, like beetroot and spinach. The potatoes weren't greasy and old like we're all used to in pubs. The yorkies were awesome too. I'll go again for sure.
