Travelers Rest in Mendip

Went and feels like the locals type of pub. Asked for a soft drink but got cans as the tap was not working.. the landlord even poured one out and said "disgusting". Ordered food and my pork chop was huge, but my fiancée's lasagne wasn't nice. But overall the place was dirty, tables were full of dirt, even had a lonely Dyson at the back.. don't know if it broke but the place was filthy and mayonnaise/ketchup packets were past their use by date. It looks tired, outside there are frames for pots and flowers and the table mat showed what the pub should look like... But it's far from it.. needs a lot of work

Great pub, the highlight is the gorgeous Ms Foster behind the bar

Great rustic country pub, good selection of ciders.

Perfect place to stop whilst on your travels and grab the best pub food you'll get, big portions of great grub locally sourced.The landlord nick is very welcoming to all, i park my truck in the layby, always nice to have a friendly chat.Oldie woldie kinda place that makes it feel like a good ol country pub. Wish you where my local.

Looked for a pub en-route from Ilminster to Keynsham with a mini bus full of thirsty young footballers. Fell upon the Travellers Rest and we were made more than welcome by the bar staff. Good choice of beers and a appetising menu was noted.Fry Club F.C

stopped on the off chance for food on the way to golden cap, my girlfriend & I had Somerset cured ham egg & chips & our son had chicken nuggets chips & beans, the food was lovely & friendly bar staff , fully recommended ☆☆☆☆☆

Had a wonderful time here last night with my girlfriend, amazing and friendly staff who where very helpful and talkative. Food was absolutely delicious and as described in the menu and photos. I had the Travellers Stack burger and was blown away by the size of it, when it says 8oz you actually get all 8oz. My girlfriend had the rump steak, which she loved and it had hardly any fat on it. Both plates where empty! Portion size was perfect, we didn't leave hungry. All there food is locally sourced by farmers, which the land owner can trace back.The landlord has as awesome dog called Ben, which just added to the good time we had there.Would fully recommend to anyone who is near, and we will definitely be going back when we are in the area.

We stopped here after a day in Weymouth. We were very much welcomed. Ordered some food, which although seems a little expensive at first glance of the menu, when it comes to the table you most certainly get what you've paid for. The food quality is awesome, there is clearly little expense spared on the quality of local produce. It is cooked in a very homely kind of way, and exactly what I'd expect from a country pub, not a pretentious restaurant trying to be something it isn't. The portion sizes are immense, so if you've been on your feet all day, and hungry, this is definitely the place to stop.The best bit about it was the hospitality of the staff, they were so welcoming and accommodating, and nothing was too much trouble... even for our demanding 2 year old daughter.... she made a friend there I think. Another nice little touch is that Ben, the collie that resides there, will herd you up like sheep to see you out.Absolutely loved the place.

Great pub, excellent choice of cider, lovely food and super friendly landlord and staff. And as a bonus they sell cider bags and boxes to go.

Fantastic food; proper pub grub, very generous portions & something on the menu for the fussiest eaters. Great customer service; very friendly staff & made to feel like a regular on my 1st visit. Very child-friendly; got high chairs, a kids menu & a massive beer garden. Great as a stopping off point when travelling & well worth visiting on it's own. Would highly recommend to everyone.
