    We all had the roast beef dinner, out of a great choice of food, during our Sunday visit. Absolutely delicious, well cooked and beautifully presented. Attentive & polite waiting staff. It's probably the best restaurant around Glastonbury. It's quirky, spacious and there's a great selection of beers and wine. I've eaten there for years and the quality is always top notch.

    Schönes Restaurant, am Kanal Sheppey gelegen. Wir hatten reserviert und saßen auf der Terrasse, am Kanal. Die Auswahl der Gerichte war gut, es gab verschiedene Fischgerichte. Der Service war zuvorkommend. Es wurde zwischendurch nach dem Befinden gefragt. Es gab Live-Musik einer Band. Und für uns ganz wichtig und gut: Das Trinkgeld stand, nicht, wie in anderen Restaurants, schon auf der Rechnung, sondern konnte individuell während des Bezahlvorgangs gewählt werden. Es war ein rundum gelungenes Restaurant-Erlebnis.

  • Didn't use the accommodation, just the restaurant. Lovely quirky place. Good choice of eating outside or in. The food and service was excellent. It's a little pricey but is well worth the trip. There is no car park, just along the roadside. Keep that in mind if you can't walk to far.

    My favourite pub in the area. A good choice of self serve local scrumpy cider which is ideal! there is a good choice of ales also but I like to have a few Wilkins or Hecks when visiting the area. The location is fanstastic, right within the somerset levels and near nature reserves. It is very unique, quirky and fun which makes a great atmosphere! love the choice of music they usually have at the bar area. I've always found the bar staff and owners really friendly and accommodating, got chatting to a few locals also who were nice. Great place!
