    Off the beaten track but only 5 mins from Glastonbury. Food is outstanding, service polite and attentive. There was a sea shantie band on the evening we went, bonus! Recommend if you want a place to eat from a quality menu.

    The best seafood stew I've ever had. Thick tasty sauce, enough bread, didn't have to ask for a finger bowl or mussel shell container they were thoughtfully supplied. Staff were brilliant, attentive without being pushy or obsequious.

  • I have been to the Sheppey many times and have always loved it. My husband and I were given a voucher for Christmas so went again for lunch recently. I still love the place especially the lovely outside area but I was really disappointed with the menu choices. I don't want a big meal at lunchtime but would prefer smaller ones late/sandwich. Also I do not eat fish and I am not fussed about burgers so I ended up having to have the vegetarian option. Would be great if they had a separate lunch menu.

    The food at the Sheppey is consistently excellent! Exciting and playful starters, good hearty mains and impressive desserts, the Sheppey never fails to amaze each year I visit. The staff are very friendly and personable to round out great experiences to dine there as much as an evening drink. Nearby activities: Westhay Moor and Avalon Marshes Nature Reserves Noteworthy details: The Sheppey's very own cider is made for them by a farm on the same road in Godney!

    Came for lunch here in early July. The food was exceptional. I had the fish and chips and it was one of the best fish I’d had outside of the north east. The two people I was with also had wonderful meals. The staff were friendly and welcoming - especially to my dog! Service was great and the location and setting is beautiful. The pub is really quirky and funky - I absolutely loved it. Well worth a stop off.

    I didn't stay here so I am not able to rate the rooms. I did have a beautiful lunch sitting by the little river in the sunshine, watching the damsel flies and little fish swim, and listening to the birds chirp. Location was heavenly. The waitress working had a lovely, chatty friendly manner - the food was delicious I had the battered fish and chips (huge portion couldn't finish it). Really enjoyable experience.

    Popped in for a family lunch on a Friday. Food was pretty good. Prices were high though so you'd expect that as given. Service was pretty amateur tbh, but got there in the end. Amazing beers and ciders, really funky vibe in bar area. So I'd like to go back in evening especially if live music on. Also a bit out of the way so have to drive, which kind of negates the great bar thing. Sons haddock and chips looked top drawer. Wife and I had fish stew which was v nice. Younger Kids plates were actually quite substantial and properly cooked.

    We had the pleasure of visiting The Sheppey Inn whilst staying in Wells. We visited on a Wednesday evening and had such a lovely meal. The food was absolutely delicious - I had the tuna steak for starter, venison for main and sticky toffee for pudding - I recommend all three! We also had a wonderful waiter called Jake who was very attentive and provided fantastic service. If we are in the area again, we'd definitely return!

    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...
