Great impromptu stop off for Sunday lunch. Staff were friendly and helpful. Service was quick and portions were very generous… Sunday roast was particularly good with loads of roast potatoes, veg, stuffing and a big Yorkshire pudding! Nice view over the water from the restaurant and excellent value. Thanks!

A pub situated in the heart of the mariner town, Watchet. Which offers home cooked tasty meals. Had a roast dinner in December, and it was all spot on. Meat cooked well and tender (lamb) roasties delicious and fresh vegetables all delicious. Thank- you to Sue and her team.

Dreadful customer service by front of house staff, they misheard our order and refused to accept they had made a mistake which resulted in 2 vegans being given meat burgers, no chance of a replacement or refund ?

We ordered vegan burgers and were given meat ones, the front of house staff gave appalling customer service and refused to accept they may have misheard, they insisted my husband, who has been vegetarian and vegan for over 30 years, specifically asked for, and pointed to on the menu, beef burgers. No chance of a replacement or refund so we paid £24 for two small plates of chips and side salad. The chips were well cooked and delicious so the chef was doing a great job. The customer service was utterly awful and the staff member was completely adamant it was our mistake. We will never go there again! If it was possible to leave a no star review we would be doing that, the one star is for the chef!

Popped in for drinks whilst on a long weekend break at the Haven site. A real Somerset authentic pub. We were given a warm welcome. Grandchildren were made welcome also. Drinks were reasonably priced.

This is one I must visit to eat next time here without the dog as not dog friendly. Really great views from the upper level tables which I imagine you need to book before well before you go. We only had a drink there in the afternoon so difficult to comment on anything other than it's well worth a visit if you're visiting or not. Nice clean toilets too.

Came for Sunday roast on a very rainy day.. Landlady greeted us well..and found us suitable seating..(as with my lung condition I could use stairs and come down everything I need facilties. )... So she found us table in bar downstairs.. which we appreciated. Sunday roast was nice.. Roasters and Yorkshire pudding was scrummy...meats seem pre sliced rather than freshly calved but it tasted nice. Good selection of drinks. Would return for food.

I've spent many hours drinking and eating here. The food is prepared fresh daily and my personal opinion is excellent. Sorry no animals inside allowed.
Brilliant service, a friendly welcome and highly recommended to anyone looking for a brilliant local pub in Watchet!

Fresh-tasting fish - great whitebait. Big sea and harbour view from upstairs dining room. Better than average value. It is a locals place and not overly chic-looking but don’t be put off. Perfectly good and friendly service.

Wouldn’t recommend eating here especially if you are not a local. Due to not being from the area, was made to feel unwelcome from the start. You may aswell go into the kitchen and cook your own meal because they’re not willing to wait on people or at least the bar lady isn’t. However, the young boy who brought our meals was lovely and provided us with cutlery and sauces after realising we wasn’t given any and raised it with the bar lady to which the bar lady said “I told them to help themselves, it’s not my fault they didn’t bother!” We were never actually told to help ourselves to anything. For £32 for a bit of fish and chips, I don’t think we were asking for a lot to be given a knife and fork. Very overpriced for what it was, also no atmosphere in the place and we couldn’t wait to leave. Such a shame as travelled 2 hours to Watchet which appears to be a lovely place but this place just lets it all down unfortunately.

Lovely friendly pub, great food and had colouring pens and books for kids, brilliant! Saw another review complaining about treatment of kids, must be another place.

Terrible experience. Traveled all the way from south wales for my 2 year old sons first little holiday of the year. Atmosphere was terrible. We were greeted by numerous unfriendly locals who made us unwelcome as we “didn’t live in the town”. Sat down to order food my two year old son sat quietly playing with his animals and got told to “shut up” for playing with his animals on the table. And that it was a pub for “adult company” even though the board outside says “children welcome”. Very upsetting as was totally uncalled for and he was actually very well behaved for a two year old didnt even speak while we was there. Unless you just want to sit on your own and have a quiet pint with zero atmosphere and feel completely unwelcome and then get rude remarks for making any little noise would definitely not recommend going here.
