The Windwhistle Inn - South Somerset

Lovely carvery, friendly staff and a whopping big pub from how it looks from passing by. Beautiful views sat out in the garden. Will visit again

I had a fantastic experience at the restaurant today, and I want to thank the entire team for serving us a delicious roast for our party of 8. They even went the extra mile to fulfill our special drink requests. I also appreciate the loyalty card program they offer.

On arrival the garden and grounds and view were superb. We found a nice table and all was very clean, the waitress friendly and efficient. Sadly it was not a carvery but a plated meal. When it arrived I was sad to see that the plate was overloaded. Gammon slice, (bit fatty 6 roast potatoes (which could have been a little more crisp. cauliflower, carrots,parsnips, brocholli, pop up Yorkshire pudding. stuffing (a bit tasteless, and gravy. A massive meal which would have done me for two days. It looked good value but sadly I could only find room for half the amount. Sticky toffee pudding with custard was superb. and a good coffee to follow. I feel this pub has missed a trick. Most of the people lunching were 70 plus and would have preferred to have a carvery where they could just take as much as the wanted and not been over faced by such a plateful I shall go again but try their a la carte menue, ot specials if they have them

AreAte here as a large party recently. We found the food to be very average. Not quite the same feel as the first time we went here some 18 years ago. The curry was ok, but then so it is in Wetherspoons. The food didn’t take long to come. The tables were in need of some work. A little dirty. Would only come back if desperately hungry. Outdoors has some climbing frames for the kids.

We visited the wind whistle for a carvery after hearing that it had a great outdoor space for the children … which it does! And thank goodness really because it’s about the only good thing about the place unfortunately which is such a shame because it has so much potential. We had 4 carvery’s, at nearly £70! And weren’t told at any point that it included desert. Vegetables were undercooked, and the cauliflower cheese was thin and tasteless. Broccoli was brown around the edges and the condiments section was such a mess it was actually very unappealing. If we return, it won’t be for food.
