The Bay Tree in South Somerset

Always love dining here.proper home cooked food and friendly atmosphere

My wife and I visited Castle Cary yesterday, and came across The Bay Tree . We hoped to find somewhere special for a birthday lunch, and couldn't have enjoyed food more. Garlic prawns, cod and mozzarella fishcakes followed by a good old-fashioned knickerbocker glory to finish - all beautifully presented and delicious. The coffee was first class too. Excellent service, and excellent value. Would certainly recommend to my friends.

Lovely choice of food and the staff were very good.

A very welcoming pub. Clean and cosy. Great to find food being served without fuss on a Wednesday lunchtime in January. Would recommend the menu choices that are stated to be 'home made'. Absolutely excellent steak and Guinness pie with proper short crust pastry and gravy served separately to put and seasonal super fresh vegetables. Terrific value for money, very nice service and absolutely delicious food. Finally, no automatic addition of a 'Service Charge' - very welcome. It should be left to the discretion of the customer.

Had lunch with a friend yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. We both had the gammon and chips and it was spot on. Generous portions too, so we shared a pudding of the homemade toblerone cheesecake which was out of this world! Really friendly service and lovely relaxed atmosphere, I’d highly recommend!

Great meals Great service and delivery Thank you so much From Marilyn

Just had lunch here with my boyfriend and we could not recommend it enough, a great little find! Service was outstanding thank you to Kevin- he was very friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed speaking to him! Food was brilliant, best pub food I’ve had. Definitely recommend the burger and beer battered cod. We will definitely be back.

The food and service were excellent. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend a visit.

Wow, I never knew this little gem existed - many years ago I had visited and it was closed, so naturally thought it was gone for good like so many other, however it is very much open.Only popped in for a beer and it was excellently kept.Tidy and cosy, will be going back for food as soon as possible.

What a lovely, friendly pub. Landlord and staff are friendly and welcoming, good selection of beer and cider. Very tasty food with large portions! We shared a starter, had a main each and barely finished a shared dessert! If you are in the area, drop in and enjoy.
