Good Pub Guide Recommended

Handsome old stone pub with attractive bars, imaginative food, good real ales, and friendly staff; seats outside
On a quiet lane in an attractive village, this handsome early 18th-c stone building has plenty of picnic-sets and tables and chairs under parasols on the terrace or on neat grassy surrounds with pretty flowering borders. Inside, the low-beamed linked areas have stripped stone and light pastel paintwork, candlelight, farmhouse chairs and wooden tables on flagstones and carpeting and a couple of stone fireplaces – one with a sizeable hearth. Cheerful young staff serve Cheddar Ales Potholer, Devilfish Best (one of the landlords, Mr Metz, also co-owns the Devilfish Brewery), Otter Bitter and Wadworths 6X on handpump, several wines by the glass and Sheppy's farm cider; piped music. The village bowling green is opposite.

Good Pub Guide Food

Using locally sourced seasonal produce, smoking and curing their own fish and meat and making everything in-house (ice-creams, bread, pickles and chutneys), the highly thought-of, imaginative food includes sandwiches, home-made corned beef, pickled mushrooms, blue cheese fritter and candied walnuts, haddock rarebit, wild garlic and celeriac remoulade, samphire and brown shrimp vinaigrette, home-cooked ham and free-range eggs, home-made burger with their own relish and specials like roast turbot, braised ox cheek, smoked mashed potato and wild garlic.

Bar food times: 12 - 2 (2.30 Sun) , 6 - 9; not winter Sun evening

My family recently dined at Seven Stars during a recent tour of England. The atmosphere was quite pleasant and included lit candles in the fireplace as well as a cordial staff happy to please the customers. The food was top notch and the owners made us feel at home. I would highly recommend.

This pub was taken over and refurbished in 2008 and with the arrival of their new chef, the quality of the food has improved a hundredfold. Everything is home-cooked, even the bread and ice-cream. We had a great Sunday roast there recently and have since gone back for dinner. Would definitely recommend this place.
