Great little local village pub since the relaunch/takeover.
Good food, reasonable prices, nice outside space with umbrellas.
We enjoy taking our dog who is always welcome and well received!

Enjoyable skittle alley. Impeccable timing for the arrival of sausage and chips while a group of us were skittling.

Friendly staff lovely pub food was very average food
Had carbonara nice simple dish even I can cook it was disappointing that the sauce taisted like it had come from a packet mix instead of home made it ruined the whole dish for me
The rest of the dishes were not much better sadly

This establishment offers a delightful blend of charm and comfort. The service provided is truly exceptional, ensuring a pleasant experience for all. Prices are kept fair and accessible, making it a great value. Whether you're seeking a midday meal or a relaxing beverage, this is an ideal destination. It perfectly embodies the essence of a traditional, welcoming atmosphere.

What a disaster! On the 16th May, after a long 5 hour journey to Taunton, we were excited to get a last minute table at Ruiston Inn, however, perhaps this should have been a huge red flag. Upon arrival we were happy to see the pub was quiet, we?re fairly quiet people and thought we would get served in good time.
We couldn?t have been more wrong!
We were ushered to the nearest table and ended up helping ourselves to menus after being ignored since arriving. We eventually ordered 2 soft drinks and a meal each.
The drinks came fairly quickly followed by one meal. Some of the scampi was undercooked, the portion was small and the plate was cold. We were then told that the second meal hadn?t made it from the till to the kitchen, clearly not the tills fault but the useless staff on shift.
The second meal arrived 15 minutes later with lots of apologies but again served on a cold plate, the food itself was lovely.
We were offered a free round of drinks but declined as we hadn?t finished our current drinks and asked for a reduction on the bill.
This was honoured and the entire cost of the second meal was removed.
We appreciate they tried to rectify the mistake but sadly this doesn?t make up for such poor service.
We will not be returning nor recommending.
Good luck if you decide to visit.

Top notch local pub. Caters to everyone and is dog friendly, with bowls of water out and treats on the bar. Couldn?t recommend this pub more whether for food, quiet drink or to watch the match. Staff are lovely and accommodating and always willing to go the extra mile. Pool table, darts and other little table games to keep the kids entertained like Jenga.
Garden has had a great upgrade also with plenty of tables!

Walked in there midweek afternoon. Two staff, three punters.
Don?t expect fawning and grovelling but some sort of greeting would?ve been nice.
Eventually got served some cider, bit of a chat with the barman and a taster of cider.
Seriously, Somerset is the home of cider, but they had only Thatchers. I understand that but think they could try harder. But the unfriendliness, no.
A guy in the village had raved about it and said it had transformed the village. Great news, but they need to try harder with visitors.
