Pubs in Somerset

A warm welcome, great food and a convivial atmosphere

Pub culture is something you can rely on wherever you are in the UK. From the hearty, traditional food to the well-stocked bars and warm, cosy interiors, pubs in Somerset deliver countryside hospitality with a regional twist. Where else will you find hundreds of cider varieties, many produced locally? With more than 20 breweries and microbreweries across Somerset, chances are high that you’ll be sipping on a beverage that’s come from a local brand.

Take a stroll into any town or village and you’re guaranteed to have a range of pubs to choose from, offering atmospheres from the traditional to the trendy. Many Somerset pubs also pack their menus with local ingredients, setting the bar high and creating quite the competition to serve the best pub food in Somerset. Stop off on a Sunday lunchtime for a traditional roast dinner, which could even be made with meat and vegetables sourced from local producers.
