The Litton

Not what we were expecting, let's say much bigger. Ample safe parking. Busy, so probably worth booking. That said, all in very good order decoratively, but tables and chairs mismatched in height and a little uncomfortable. Great welcome and knowledgeable service from Ollie, and all staff friendly. Something for everyone on the menu, great range of cask ales, lagers, ciders and bottled beers. Commuted wine list, but okay. Food served on hot plates, lovely salad and veg, nicely slow cooked pork, different, but beautifully tender and quite delicious. Price: 2 people, three beers, bottle of wine and water, sub £100, so all good. Look forward to the rematch!!!

Stayed here three nights. Room very well appointed, clean and fresh and comfortable with high quality bed. Would have preferred the window opening to be less restricted though. The breakfasts were good, efficiently served and cooked to order. My evening meals were not quite up to scratch unfortunately. The bocconcini and heritage salad should have had pink onion but came with a large ordinary pickled onion which spoiled the flavours. Shame! My salmon with puréed cauliflower and chorizo with “green oil” was a very wet dish and tasteless. I left most of it. No idea what the green oil was; dill, parsley or Duckhams 20/50? I also had the fish and chips which had undercooked stodgy inedible batter and greasy chips. I ate the fish itself which was actually just right. On all these matters I commented to the waiting staff at the time and did get an apology for the fish. On the plus side my duo of lamb was perfect and the desserts affogato and treacle sponge also excellent. All the staff were pleasant, efficient and attentive. Would have been five stars without the food mishaps.

There has been a real shift in how well the restaurant kitchen and service team are run in the past few months, making the Litton well worth a visit for meals now compared to our previous visit 2 years ago. The food is excellent and good value and the service is great - very friendly, attentive and helpful.

Absolutely excellent experience and felt so welcome.. liv the waitress was so smiley informative really welcoming and Ollie was soo accommodating and very chatty I have been for food several times and enjoyed but booked a room tonight. Amazing evening

A wonderful lunch in a relaxed, unhurried a**osphere. A huge thank you to Cat for being so lovely and looking after us, making my mother's 80th birthday so special. The food was beautifully fresh and so carefully prepared. Thank you so much. Looking forward to our next visit.

We stayed here for four nights while exploring Somerset. Most of the guests were English couples and families. We had dinner here twice and it was quite good. The hotel gets very busy in the summer so reservations for dinner are recommended. Our room had the most incredible hanging lamps covered in feathers. See picture.

We wanted this place to be as good as the reviews but regrettably the meal we had was shockingly bad. Sunday roast beef billed as “pink” came way over cooked, tasteless and leathery tough. The sign of a kitchen who have no clue is a failed Sunday roast. Not only was the meat awful every other element was cheap and nasty. The 2 (!) roast potatoes were soft. Industrially uncooked. The veg was a dish of greens that were so overcooked the colour was green grey. Impossible to eat. The Yorkshire pudding was flat, burnt on the edge and dry cardboard texture. Finally, the gravy was low grade powdered or granular, over thick and made what was on the plate even more inedible. The smell was horrible. This is a clue to how this kitchen functions. Not a single person can be bothered to make or spend that little extra on real gravy. The second main dish was the “large” size fish and chips. The chips were ok but they used cheap potatoes so they tasted mostly of frying oil. The fish was not large and the batter was dark brown. I attach a picture of my leavings. Also ratio of batter to fish was a joke. All the sauces were the cheapest slimy type made mostly of sugar and vinegar. We both felt sick after this meal. Another feature of this pub is that it is like a busy railway station. Large car park packed with cars. The buildings packed with families inside and out. No doubt some people are after that buzz (with life size plastic Disney type character covered in graffiti where we were sat) but if you want a cozy or quiet country pub you will need to look elsewhere. Each member of staff was really decent, helpful, efficient and sweet. We didn’t complain and leave partly for that reason and partly because doing so ruins the day. And we were starving.

Phenomenal foodie experience. Stunning food, but without the expensive prices set in a welcoming beautiful a**osphere and fabulous service! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience and lovely family evening meal. Will definitely be back one day

The hotel part of the restaurant is lovely the rooms spacious and cosy bathrooms lovely and warm . Large TV and comfy bed storage under the bed which is helpful. The restaurant has lovely food and the breakfast is great. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
