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.

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. Also had the St Clementine... pudding which was also stunning but I couldn’t finish it! Such a quirky place and lovely staff, cannot recommend enough.read more

We had a meal in The Sheppey and it was wonderful. Top rated friendly service with all staff having a great knowledge of the menu. The food was delicious- the vegan options were amazing. Our... little dog loved it too and was given a lot of attention. Very quirky and can’t wait to return. The team of chefs are clearly very good and produce food to top restaurant standard. We loved itread more

Great pub - excellent service. Wonderful food and just a great stop off for a drink. Lots of choice for beer wine and cider including a large range of ciders in boxes where you can help yourself with... tastes to get the right one. Beers very well kept and good selection.Well worth a visit. If you want food do think about booking as they can get very busy.read more

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
