The Globe

Once a 17th-century cider house, this is now a traditional country pub/restaurant with some decent views over the Somerset Levels. The main bar area has a flag stoned floor with a grand inglenook fireplace that burns with warming logs come the winter. There is an adjoining recently refurbished and comfortable restaurant now with large opening doors that lead onto the garden for summer use. Now part of the Butcombe brewery chain, the real ales, qualifying with ease for the Cask Marque accreditation awarded, were on this day in noble condition. The number of ales available may vary however, from one to three. The restaurant is a more modern addition to this 200 year old pub (first licence granted 1814). Excellent food is served with a changing specials board in addition to the main menu. My visit on this day, was to register the visit by scanning the Cask Marque Certificate and meeting friends who were themselves, formerly successful publicans, for lunch. Without equivocation, we three can avow, the reception was efficient, the Covid precautions were reassuring, the ale (see above) and the food presentation and salubrity, very agreeable. This made for a very agreeable lunch, because I chose the venue and my friends are a picky pair - quick to find fault. Return visits by all of us are assured.

Me and my mate fished the viaduct fishery in Somerset for 5 days and we went to the globe, the first time we went the young lady made us really welcome. The food was excellent, the fish and chips were to die for. We had double portions it was that nice. This pub is an excellent place to eat!! We are going again next year and this is the place we can't wait to visit again!!!

The food was nice and good value however the tables weren't cleaned at all and the atmosphere was dull. The young lady who served us was great and very friendly but there was another lady who seemed to have quite an aggressive nature. She questioned, an elderly gentleman with his wife in a loud voice, in front of other customers, who was intending to pay the bill. The old guy thought his daughter had paid but he paid up once he knew. However, she was quite stroppy about it. I would not choose this place to eat again.

Good local pub. Nice people and decent food. Beer is well kept generally and a reasonable range is served. Good ambience and nice beer garden at the back. Generally, a pleasant low key place for going out.

Visited as member of rockabilly band Uptown Cats providing live music. Pub is deceptively large with an outdoor area to the rear. Lots of character. Local rugby team members added to the "craic". (unable to comment on food or drink as not consumed)
