Sheppey Home - The Sheppey Inn

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.

The outstanding presentation of our dishes was matched by the blandness of its taste (Kentucky fried skate wings, beef burger and tasteless but good looking coleslaw). The food fell a long way short... of its GFG entry and vibrant and chilled interior. On the positive side service was enthusiastic and positive. A classic example of style over substance.read more

We had a stunning lunch at the Sheppey today. My husband tried a new dish on the menu, pigeon breast which was divine. We both had the pan fried mackerel which was fab. The staff were really lovely... and friendly. Our dog was made very welcome and was given a bowl of water when we arrived. Thank you, we look forward to visiting again.read more

Fantastic pub! Probably one of the best independent places to drink and eat anywhere into the UK. Frequently changing beers, ales, ciders and excellent food. Brilliant beer garden right on the... waterway out the back. Not much to look at from the front but fantastic decor inside and welcoming staff.read more

Stayed at a B&B close by, needed somewhere to eat. Was surprised to see the difference to interior to exterior design.Lovely open area to sit, fairy lights on ceiling in one room, an assortment of... ornaments on shelves in another. Very friendly, helpful staff.Good choice of food, though slightly expensive.Lovely beer battered fish and chips. Nice range of cider. The added bonus was they accepted dogs into the pub/restaurant, which several others also attended.Exterior could do with a ‘makeover’ to match interior.read more

Always a delight to eat here, the food has a class and style that is more than the average carvery or restaurant in the area. There is a huge bar, well stocked with local ciders and often a band... playing. The mustard and cider mussels starter stole the show for us, we'd recommend it to anyone!read more

Visited The Sheppey whilst staying locally. We were given a very warm welcome by the friendly staff. Food options were good, with a children's menu and an extensive drinks list. We tried some... locally brewed beers which were lovely. Service was prompt despite having some large groups of people on the night we visited. Our meals (dirty burger and fish stew) were delicious. Definitely recommended.read more

Lovely quaint little pub in a small village. Food here is sourced locally which means the menu is fresh and full of flavour. The Sunday roast was fantastic and such a huge portion that were we're... glad we didn't have a starter. Staff were really friendly and keen to give me a tasting tour of the local ciders from the commercialised fizzy ones to the flat farm dung tasting ones! Would definitely recommend coming here.read more

We've visited for a drink in the past, but never eaten dinner untila motnh ago. I'm so glad we did. We thoroughly enjoyed absolutely everything about the evening. The drink & food selection was... varied, wide, different to a lot of run of the mill places & great. I particularly like the choice of vegetarian & vegan dishes, which were difficult to choose between, good different & tasty options. I'll be back for more as the meal & ale I had was superb! Service was great, cheery & friendly with a great atmosphere & relaxed feel. It was right up my street! Keep doing what you're doing, good times ????read more

What a find! In the middle of nowhere and Dog friendly too. The atmosphere is funky and not your normal style for a Country Pub very unique and the food is like Michelin Star ???? next door is Rivers... Bakery and the other side is a lovely B&B with Afternoon tea so you are totally sorted for a nice break on the Somerset levels with views of the Mendip Hills.read more

What a fabulous start to our holiday. Dog friendly (didn’t even realise when I booked so that was a bonus. I had the fish stew which was just beautiful and so filling.

These guys have nailed it. From the ambience to the service, menu choice and the food, it was all spot on. In a sea of mediocrity they are a dazzling jewel! I am happy to pay for food, as long as it... is fresh and done well. But as well all know there is so much dross in the pub world, it is easy to lose faith. Don't hesitate with The Sheppey, these guys are faultless. And the drive out from Glastonbury is always interesting...especially at night!read more
