"Hands down the best pizza delivery I have ever had! Absolutely incredible! I ordered the 14” vegan Margherita with extra olives, spinach, peppers, mushrooms, onions, and sweet corn. It was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be ordering from here again many times in the future."

"I had never been to The Orchard before, but I had heard great things about it. I am happy to say that it lived up to the reputation. We visited on a Wednesday for their curry night and it was fantastic. There was a nice variety of flavorful curries to choose from. In addition to the curry night special, they were also serving their regular menu, which some of our group opted for. The portions were generous, especially with the main menu dishes being larger. The value was exceptional as the curries were buy one get one free. We enjoyed our experience so much that we plan to return for their burger night, also featuring a buy one get one free deal. The price per person was between £1-10. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere all deserve a perfect rating of 5."

"A group of 4 of us ate in on a Sunday evening whilst staying in the area, attracted by the BYO facility. Tbh, we weren 't expecting too much from such a small unassuming place with 4 tables in a shopping area. How wrong we were! We often go for a curry and can honestly say this was probably the best we 've had! A great selection of delicious curries, we had Sikander Badi Lamb, which was so tender it fell off the bone, Moglai chicken containing large chunks of succulent 'real ' chicken (as oppose to preformed chicken, which you often get), a Lamb Tikka Roshni with lovely tender and lean lamb pieces, and a Chicken Tikka Mahkany, all very well presented. The rice was fluffy and light, I particularly liked the coconut rice and my friend loved the vegetable rice, with proper chunks of veg in it. The garlic nan bread was cut up nicely for us to share, bombay potatoes were lovely large spiced chunks and the poppadums were large and crispy, as were the onion bhajis. Portions were huge and they kindly provided boxes/bags to take our leftovers away. Even tho it was a small informal place, they kept standards high with pristine white linen table cloths and napkins. We brought beer and wine with us (no corkage) and bought some soft drinks there. The bill for the 4 of us arrived with chocolate mints and hot towels and came to around £98 (no tip added, so we left our own, as we received good and friendly service). Payment by cash or cheque only. We will certainly be eating here if we are in the area again!"

"I had never been to this restaurant before, but I will definitely be returning. The staff were very efficient and friendly. They had a good selection of beers with clean pipes, as well as a variety of other drink options. The menu had a wide enough selection to please everyone. I enjoyed a tasty pizza (although the base could have been a bit crispier), while my husband had the haddock and chips. He loved every item on his plate – including the mushy peas, tartare sauce, chips, and fish. We both had a rocket and Parmesan side salad, which consisted of a quarter packet of rocket topped with plenty of Parmesan flakes and a delicious dressing. My only complaint was that I ordered two double espressos and they came with petit fours, costing £5 each. We were under the impression that the petits fours were complimentary, so we were surprised when we received the bill. Despite this, we chose not to complain as we had already enjoyed the meal and the extras. Overall, a great dining experience, although receiving the petit fours without the option for just coffee felt a bit cheeky."

"My husband and I went to the halfway on our way home as we thought it was a dog friendly pub. We have 2 dogs, one confident and rarely barks, and the other one who is very nervous, but we have been working with her to build her confidence. Our dog had been doing really well at The Pound in Aller and the Prince Alfred at Burrowbridge, so we wanted to widen her experience. We chose the Halfway House at Langport, as we saw on line, it was dog friendly. Sadly as my dog, although I was using training techniques to try to calm her, when a couple came to sit near us, our nervous dog, was more nervous. The couple were lovely and continued to talk to us while we calmed our dog, understanding she was scared. Sadly the bar staff spoke to us, and said, your dog is barking, people are eating. I could not do more than I was to mange the training, so told the bar person, we would finish our drinks and leave. He said, it wasn’t him, it was everyone else. This was not very helpful. The people we were taking to said they often have evenings when they have lots of dogs and they can become barky and hoped they would see us again. We will not be going back again, some pubs are child friendly and you expect some noise from children, I thought a dog friendly pub would understand some noise from dogs, especially those who the owner is trying to help increase their confidence. We understand the establishment can decide who they want in their business. I thought we were going to be in a pub who understood nervous dogs, but this was not the case. We now understand the owners want to allow dogs, not not nervous dogs. This is a lovely pub, but only wants quiet dogs."

"We were there the Saturday before Christmas and it was busy with both small and large groups. On arrival we were shown straight to a table. The service was attentive and the food arrived in good time, we weren't made to feel rushed at all. For starter I had fritto misto, white bait, calamari and prawns, chap had butterflied King prawns in garlic, for mains I had salmon, chap had spaghetti and meatballs. Good portion size and absolutely delicious and all washed down with a very pleasant house white wine. As luck would have it there was a singer, he performed mostly modern songs and some classics. It was quite noisy but not so loud we couldn't hear each other. Lively place with a lovely atmosphere."

"I enjoyed a fantastic lunch in the outdoor tent at the restaurant. While I would have preferred to dine inside, I had to follow the rules which did not allow indoor seating. This did affect the atmosphere somewhat, but it was not the fault of the restaurant. Nevertheless, the service and food were both outstanding."

"We had a great evening at ask yeovil, the food was amazing the only problem we had was over an hour wait for our started to come. We asked one waiter who was very rude and walk away saying he would check and never came back! Then, after wait another 10 minutes we ask another lady who was lovely and explain our order has been missed and it was on it way, also offing us a free bottle of wine or a discount. We appreciate the waitress who did an amazing job to resolve the issue but the long wait and rudeness of the other wait made our night less enjoyable!"

"Unfortunately not a great choice of beers. To eat, we ordered pork souvlaki and lamb chop as main courses 14 each). The pork was supposed to be marinated but came out pretty dry and tasteless. Not a big portion either (2 small-ish skewers). The tzatziki...was watery and hardly tasted of garlic. The salad was mainly limp iceberg lettuce with a watery yogurt dressing on pretty tasteless as well. The chips were good and the pitta was warm. But overall very bland and basic for the prices. The lamb chop was purely fatty and grizzly, there was hardly any proper meat on it. It had a very strong taste and seemed a very cheap cut. Vegetables served with the lamb were OK but again pretty cheap-tasting. Chopped-up, oily aubergine is a bit of an odd choice for a veg side dish, though. Service wasn't brilliant, either, we had to remind them twice to bring the tap water we had asked for with our other drinks. Nobody came and asked if we wanted any sauces (ketchup) or how or meal was, not even at the end when we paid. For those prices, I would have expected a relatively decent meal (not just made up of cheap ingredients) and half-way decent table service. The descriptions of the dishes on the specials board sound great and sophisticated, but unfortunately they don't live up to the hype. I only saw after our visit (on their Facebook page) that they are looking for a new chef. I wish I had known that before. I wouldn't go again, unfortunately. Ah yes, the table surface was sticky, too. No Covid measures in place whatsoever."

"Often come to the rusty with either just my partner or our family we have together, very welcoming with lots of happy and friendly faces! We see Mark who runs the pub as one of our friends now and the same to Sean and Nicky!...We feel we can allow our young child play in their child safe garden in the sandpit and toys that they have provided for everyone without worrying about her getting hurt. Definitely one of my favourite local pubs around here! Great atmosphere on a Friday with their chase the joker game, often Putting on great live music and providing amazing bbq food, cannot wait for them to open up for more food options in the future! We love the pub you are turning the rusty axe into!"

"I had lunch here today with my daughter. There was a very welcoming atmosphere. My daughter is vegetarian and lactose intolerant and there were plenty of options for her to choose from. A member of staff, (I didn't catch his name), was very helpful and went through the options with her. The food was excellent and exceeded my expectations. I was hoping to have a piece of cake, as they all looked delicious, but I was too full. I will return soon to try one. I left feeling uplifted. Well worth a visit."

"During our four-night Somerset getaway to visit gardens in the area, we stayed at the Seedhouse Air B&B in Shepton Montague (highly recommended). The Montague Inn became our go-to spot for drinks, dinner, and Sunday Roast. Each time we walked in, we were greeted warmly and received excellent service. My wife was thrilled to find Butcombe IPA Zero on tap (she doesn't drink alcohol but enjoys a good beer), while I indulged in their House Red. The food was consistently excellent with sensible portions, high quality, and reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and attentive, the chef accommodated my dietary needs, and the overall atmosphere was exactly what you'd want in a local pub. We look forward to returning in the Spring and will definitely dine and drink here again. Thank you, Sean and Team!"

"We went to lanes for a mothers day treat with family. The service was lovely, staff incredibly friendly and welcoming, the food was cooked perfectly and to a really professional standard. The only thing we found dissapointing was during our main corse staff decided to pack away tables and chairs, I'm not sure if this is normal (it was around half past 4) but it did make us feel a bit unwanted and unwelcome. I did think this was strange in a restaurant and establishment which prides its self on high standards. Maybe something to think about as it is off-putting even with the lovely service."

"A very welcoming return visit, to a really good gastro pub. The food is outstanding, the lovage veloute with smoked eel probably the best soup ever tasted, as smooth and rich as could be created. Chicken with a Middle Eastern stuffing and hispi cabbage perfect. The burger as always rich with the flavours of the grill, the triple cooked chips crispy as can be outside soft and smooth inside. The whole finished with a lemon posset topped with granola and strawberries. The menu changes frequently, so what we enjoyed may not be on for your visit, but whatever is will be wonderful. As much as can be sourced locally. What's not to like. Booking is essential and a visit not to be missed. All the right precautions are in place."

"Absolutely brilliant!! For a village pub, this one is superb!! It looks very welcoming from the outside, being built of the local honey-coloured stone, and has a lovely 'feel ' inside. The quality of the food is excellent, portions are plentiful and the beer is pretty darn good too. Inside the building is sort of split into two, there 's a bar area with seating at the front and a dedicated dining area to the rear which is a little quieter, not that the bar is at all rowdy but it could be on a weekend?! We intend to be regular visitors as its well worth the 20 minute journey from where we live."

"A lovely welcome and pleased with our room. One of the chalet rooms with a mezzanine level for the bedroom. It was nice to have a separate living space with a tv, seating, tea making facilities and a fridge as we were staying for 3 nights and the weather was unpredictable. It was warm and clean and the bed was comfortable. The meals were large and well presented, in fact too much for us really. Breakfast was also good, be prepared to wait for the toaster which took ages! We did find the place to be generally run down and tired and in need of a lot of attention and there’s lots of things I could list, however we have genuinely enjoyed our stay and these things have not affected our enjoyment. So if you want something that is not expensive and convenient for lots of places, this is it. The bar has a limited selection of drinks and certainly hasn’t caught up with the gin trends but this didn’t stop us spending a couple of good evenings there talking to other guests. It also is tired and in need of some repair but it would be a shame to try to modernise it as it’s one of the few “traditional “ inns around. I hope that the owners are able to make the necessary improvements soon but don’t make it bland and cold like so many other pubs these days. Quirky can be good providing standards are kept up."

"This is by no means my first review of this lovely pub. But the consistency we find with their meals and the Sunday roast in particular is worth telling over and over. Today three of us all went for the roast beef melt in the mouth, and cut just as one wants it, rare for those of us who like it that way, through to well done if that's your preference. And served with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pud, four seasonal vegetables (today it was red cabbage, broccoli, carrots and green beans) and lots of thick beef gravy. We chose not to have starters or desserts this time, opting for the large main meal alone and so ignoring the slightly smaller option. Today, had we not gone for the beef, we could have had the pork, which we have had on occasion, as it always comes with stuffing and perfect crackling. And it is always just as good great consistency that we've never found anywhere else, and price wise it's all amazing good value too. In short, it's hard to beat, on quantity, quality and price and little wonder therefore that it's always wise to book in advance. That said, Dave and Di run a place where nothing's too much trouble and they'll always fit you in if they can, but my advice is, when it comes to food this good, don't leave it to chance, pick up the phone and book. We already have, and we'll be back at our usual table next Sunday."
