Lovely pub and scrumptious food,! Wish there were more like this around. Very unpretentious, good company and an interesting wine list . Sea food wonderful and atmosphere a pleasure. Will certainly revisit. Would not suit starchy predictable people as a one off in every way.

A new chef is in residence and the food last night was excellent and good value. Still hasn't changes much so if you like a good country pub this is the place.

I visited this charming place with some friends and family at short notice, the staff were very accomodating and friendly. Our meal as excellent with good healthy poritons you could tell it was homecooked and fresh, for a party of 8 people with varying tastes and appetities we fund it goodvalue for money.

Lovely old quainte pub with open fires and friendly staff. We found it quite difficult to find as the sign for it is only visible from the other way to which we were travelling. Unfortunately, my meal was not the best and I understand there has been a chef change recently. Chef can't have tasted his food before serving, it was very sour and overly rich. Real shame as we'd been recommended this place and I can see it has real charm.

I met an old friend here who lives in Somerset and is a regular if infrequent visitor to the Globe. We enjoyed an excellent and very good value lunch accompanied by good local ale. This pub has character and style, is very friendly, and run with care and attention.
Highly recommended, and set in beautiful countryside off the beaten track.

We live in Bristol and wanted to meet some friends from Bridport and find a local pub with charm and a good menu in a mutually convenient location. The AA Pub Guide has not let us down in the past and certainly did not on this occasion.
The pub is welcoming and the staff friendly. The menu was varied but most customers appeared to have the sunday roast.Three of my party had the roast beef which was excellent and the two courses for £9.50 option exceptional value for the quality.
There are several themed rooms for eating - displaying bric a brac from a long gone era- railway prints / wirelesses /old musical instruments etc
It is well worth negotiating the country lanes to visit this unique pub. Too many pubs these days rely on a certain 'formula' but this was unique and we wish the proprietors continued success

Went to this pub the other week and had Sunday lunch, which was excellent. Refreshing to still find pubs like this that have individual features and not part of a chain. The pub is very unique and definitely worth visiting even if it's just for a few beers. The bar area is in what looks like a corridor which is something i have also never seen before. After lunch and a few beers we found out that this pub is the closest to the oldest tree in England so we made a visit to the next village to see the tree.

We had a great sunday lunch at this fantastic Inn last weekend, the roast beef was delicous. The Inn is extremely rare, has several different areas to eat in and a substantial garden for sun lovers and kids. We were not sure how to get to it as it is slighly off the beaten track, but we found clear signs from the main road. We completed are our journey by visiting the oldest tree in England in the next village. Well worth a visit.

We came across this lovely little place while driving through the Somerset countryside on a warm May public holiday. This old Inn had a nice atmosphere with very friendly service and served a good choice of freshly cooked food (lunch and dinner)with excellent vegetarian options. We tried the lunch menu and sat outside in the nice sized garden before taking a walk along the nearby paths and fields (we also came across what is reputed to be the oldest tree in England about 1.5 miles away - the 'Ashbrittle yew' - 3000 years old). We would certainly recommend it and will definitely visit again on our next trip to Somerset.

Excellent. In terms of value for money, taste, quality of food, surroundings and service this cannot be faulted. We ate from the lunch menu, I had the best steak sandwich I've ever had and my girlfriend had a brie and bacon ciabatta. Both dishes were served with generous portions of home-made chips. The food was fantastic and with a side portion of garlic bread and two drinks the bill came to a very reasonable £18. I can't recommend this place enough and hope to be returning when I'm next in that neck of the woods.

What a treat it was to go to this 500 year old Somerset inn that serves delicious food made with local, seasonal produce, and to top a local microbrewery provides them with just one of their tasty ales. For real food and ale lovers, this is not a pub to be missed. Highly recommended!!

What a lovely evening. The Globe has an excellent reputation locally, and we hadn't been for ages, not since before we had the children actually - the eldest is now 16. The range of dishes is perfect, enough to give a good choice and reassure you that everything is freshly cooked on the premises. Lots of local ingredients; friendly but inobtrusive waiting staff; lovely ambience; lots of memorabilia to look at; choice of dining room or bar (only difference appears to be the dining room has tablecloths; tables in the bar are not actually in a bar, better described as smaller dining rooms) If you want to try The Globe, be sure to book.

I have to take issue with some of the points made in the last review.
We went out far too late on a Friday evening and naturally couldn't find anywhere that was serving food until we stumbled onto the Globe which was quite happy to take our order at 10pm and our desert order at 10.45.
The place is thankfully 'unimproved'and has one of the old fashioned bars, serving good Exmoor and Cotleigh bitters and a couple of different ciders. The dining areas are spread out, split up and adorned with (presumably) the owners racing memorabilia which gives it atmosphere. I had their home made steak and kidney pie which was enormous, extremely tasty and good value at £8.95, the rest of the main menu looked the same - we didn't have starters. Deserts were also very nice and priced between £3.50 and £4.50. There was nothing wrong with the service as far as we could see, if you wanted something they provided it, if you wanted to be left alone that's fine as well - no bimbo tripping around asking you if everything is Ok when you are trying to take your first mouthful! The absence of piped music was also a blessing.
We will be going back

Pleasant enough place. Service very indifferent and, in one case, surly. Food is good pub food and appears to be freshly cooked, but EXTORTIONATE for what one actually gets. A prawn starter for @ £9+ consisted of four large prawns and an excess of salad. Gravadlax, for a similar price, was a couple of small pieces in the middle of a plate with a small dish of dipping sauce. Very nice, but certainly not value for money. The battered chicken, with salad and chips, seems to be very commercial, and was definitely overdone. Not much chicken, but lots of chips and large salad - no dressing offered. Melon (price on the day !!! For Melon??)& parma ham starter was mostly melon and £8+. On balance, don't think it is worth visiting again.
