Awesome food, Fantastic Wines and phenomenal Beers

Five minutes from Glastonbury and ten minutes from Wells, England’s smallest city, The Sheppey is a pub out in a world of its own, amongst the peat beds and murmurating starlings of the Somerset Levels. We offer brilliant modern European food, a constantly changing roster of beers and ales, and a bar covered in casks of local ciders that’ll knock your socks off.

We’re also one of the best places to catch live music around – but that’s just our opinion. Below are some others
If you’re arriving by car please respect our neighbour’s entrances and passing traffic when parking. We know it gets tight close to the pub, but there is plenty of parking further down the road..thanks for being awesome.

Opening Hours

We will be closed on Mondays
Tuesdays – Saturday the pub will be open from 12pm right through the day
Our kitchen will be serving Lunch from 12 pm until 2:30 pm when the kitchen will close to begin preparations for the evening dining that will begin from 6 pm with the last dining slot at 8:30 pm.
Sundays opening hours are 12 pm – 6:30 pm with the last dining slot at 4pm

  • My husband and I have spent a wonderful 2 nights at the The Sheppey Inn. We were looking for a hotel near Glastonbury and Wells, so this was perfect. The Inn is situated out in the middle of the beautiful countryside and offers a welcome relief from living in the city. We had a warm welcome from Ben who kindly upgraded us to the room with balcony. The room is beautifully decorated, warm, cosy and has everything you need for a short break away. The bed was super comfy with extra blanket if needed. The shower room felt luxurious and appreciated the toiletries with tissues/cotton wool for make up removal. The breakfast was a lovely healthy option of fresh berries/yoghurt and granola. Nice mix of tea and coffee with lovely crockery. It was such a treat to have breakfast in our room, nice leisurely lie in without having to get ready to go to a dining area. We had had food at the restaurant on the 13th. Again, great atmosphere, excellent service and a warm friendly welcome. We enjoyed trying the local cider. Overall, it was a perfect weekend getaway, fantastic location with superb service. We found a hidden gem for sure. Would highly recommend if looking for some fresh air with peace and quiet. Thank you Ben and team

    Lovely staff and a delicious meal. A quirky and delightful setting. A couple of hiccups with our order- something we ordered didn’t arrive and they definitely need to let you know that one peppercorn sauce is enough for two people when ordering steak! Everything else was wonderful and the food was cooked beautifully. Pork belly starter was divine as was the steak. Thanks for a lovely evening.

    After a morning walking up and down a gorge, we decided it was suitable to gorge ourselves on some roast stuff. The Sheppey was recommended by an ex-local, and so we braved the dykes and single track roads full of oxygen and excitement. Not to be let down at all! Welcomed by the smell of a roast even before you go in, our tummies rumbled. No chicken! Alas, we mostly went for beef, plus one lamb. Nice and efficient, no nonsense service, and all the condiments we asked for, the food was fab (I would like crisper potatoes, but that might have been because we were quite late) Major highlight, horseradish; clearly made in-house and all the better for it. Cute outdoor space to boot. Will come again!

  • Had a fantastic meal here with family - all three courses, wasn’t planning to have dessert but was persuaded. I had vege dishes (corn ribs, biryani bonbon and buzz buttons) and each was delicious and a bit unusual. Wine was great too. Fun atmosphere. Would love to go back!

    The Restaurant is interesting. I would not have expected such a vibrant and nice place inside. To excess the restaurant one has to drive down a narrow unpaved road with huge puddles on the side and a low inconspicuous house. In terms of design it's quite diverse inside, the only less impressive part was the AI-prompt-inspired paintings on the wall. The food was high quality, not super creative but very conscientiously prepared. I would call the kitchen classically British with a touch of the farm vibe. The service was friendly, but a little bit unorganized...

    Myself and my wife had a wonderful experience at The Sheppey, it really is a Somerset gem. The staff were very friendly and we were greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our waiter Jake couldn't have been more helpful. We sat outside on a sunny day with a beautiful calming view of the river. If you're looking for a unique dining experience with fantastic food, cider and a welcoming ambiance, this is the spot to visit.

    Me and my other half stayed 2 night's here and the room was really lovely and nicely decorated. The only thing letting it down was the breakfast options, but we knew it only involved a small selection of continental choices. The restaurant was wonderful though, service was fantastic and nothing was too much bother. The truffle/cheesy chips were particularly banging and atmosphere was just right for us. We look forward to returning on our next trip here and thanks to everyone for being accommodating for us!

The barman greeted us with a cheerful smile and the waiting staff were attentive, chatty, and emanating joy. The food too was brilliant - seriously generous portions and glorious produce / recipes. A very unexpected place and a discovery we will be retuning to! Thank you. Bravo to the chefs.

  • This place is a retro style pub, with tables to eat inside and out, with a small canal and great views. Children will love to see all the old toys dotted around, some of us adults will get nostalgic with the array of Thunderbird toys, even one of my hero Mr. T. The food is great, roasts, vegetarian and lovely desserts. Brilliant selection of beverages for all. Amazing staff. Once you have finished, a ten minute walk will take you to a national reserve park to lose some of those calories. You will need to get to the place by car and be careful on the roads, there are pot holes and bumps, also patience as a lot of cyclists and it is in some parts narrow. The cyclists will move to the side when the are able to. All in all a great day out for all the family. Nearby activities: Close to a wonderful national park, great for cycling or walking. No cars, but car park to leave your car. Walkability: Not a place within walking distance. Noteworthy details: The memorabilia is awesome. They have some great art, done by local artists that you can read about on their walls.

    Well what can I say about this place! It’s one of the best places we’ve stayed in! The staff are so friendly, the food was amazing and all locally sourced which is a huge bonus. I loved trying the local wines, they rotated them so I got to try different ones over our 2 night stay. We stayed in room 1 and it was extremely clean, stylish and comfortable. Huge huge shout out to Ben the owner who saved my birthday when we couldn’t get a taxi into Glastonbury and he dropped us!!! Such a kind thing to do - can’t thank you enough. Rooms: Clean, stylish & comfortable Food & drinks: Locally sourced and excellent quality Noteworthy details: Super super friendly staff and owners

The food was excellent as was my cocktail that Jake also recommended and everyone looked after us very well! I love coming back to The Sheppey when I get the chance, it is such a hidden gem with the best views and setting of any pub in Somerset. I highly recommend to everyone !

    What a quirky little pub in a beautiful setting. The hotel recommended this place and we were so happy that we went. The creative menu is super delicious. We opted for the asparagus and fish stew starters and the butternut squash, sweet potato, rice, and bean vegetarian main. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. The array of 'stuff' displayed around the pub brought a smile to my face with everything from transformers to a yogi bear to sesame street characters to unusual artwork - it was worth taking a wander around and you probably have to see it to understand it. If we were ever in the area again we would revisit it. Hopefully, it would be a nice day and we could then experience sitting outside in the decking area. Highly recommended!

    A truly amazing place tucked away from all the hustle and bustle. Hand cut chips with skins are divine. All the ciders and beers are not heard of. The Sheppey Cider is highly recommended. Everything is funky as hell in there too.

They even let us sit for 3 hours after our meal to catch up with our friends; we weren't hurried out the door like you get with some places. All of the food was absolutely delicious, would definitely recommend the truffle and Parmesan fries. Can't wait to return in the summer time!

All beautifully cooked, not a frozen roast potato in sight, and amazing gravy too - hats off to the chef Tom. All of the staff were lovely and really helpful, Ben was kind enough to clear some tables for us to dance, and the bar staff were great too especially Kev and a younger girl I didn't get the name of - thank you all for looking after us and making our night so much fun! Will definitely be coming back and recommend visiting The Sheppey for excellent food and service. Dietary restrictions: One of our ladies is Coeliac and the staff were very helpful and accommodating with this making sure everything was suitable for her.
