I almost don't want to write a review for this place because it feels a bit like a well-kept secret, but I can't help myself so I'm going to spill the beans. The food was exceptional, locally sourced without all the trumpetry that usually gets written all over menus. The ⁶service was perfect, friendly, helpful but without being too hovery or annoying. It is expensive but believe me it's worth every penny. I'm just waiting for another occasion that means I can justify going back. It is my new favourite eatery in this area. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I've only not given the 5 stars because I didn't go into them but if the same care and dedication has been used on them as the food and drinks list, then I'm sure they are fantastic. Omg this is a gem . It punches way above its weight . The owners are a delight such sevice. The food was very and beautifully presented as were the desserts. Sticky toffee pudding was one of the best i have ever eaten. Do not miss this place. 10/10 experience! 🥰 Amazing couple that made us feel very welcome, dream come true breakfast and very cozy room. Hidden gem ✨ Just had a fantastic Sunday lunch. The meat just melted in your mouth. Vegetables were cooked exactly as I like them, not al dente. Starters and desert were both excellent. Nothng to fault. Would love to try their evening meal. Sadly leaving the area to go home. Passed details of your restaurant on to some friends that live locally and they will be coming. Great food. We stopped in for after visiting the Fleet Arm Museum. We were bang on time for the kitchen to close on a quiet Thursday, but they still offered us a vegetable soup and rosemary bread. Lovely staff, pretty pub. Would visit again. pub, though rather an eatery now. Really food, though two of us shared only 3 starters for lunch. But beautifully presented and very delicious. Had a here on a Friday night. was exceptional - enough time between courses but not too long. Servers knew which plate was mine and which was my husband's without sometimes even taking the order - extra special touch! I had squid to start and my husband the carbonara, both perfectly cooked. I then had the lamb which had the right colour and the sauces/pureees accompanied it perfectly. My husband had turbot which was flaky and served with gnocchi and a gorgeous lobster bisque. Dessert was exceptional - we could've ordered double! Pannacotta smooth and creamy with zingy blackcurrant sorbet. Sticky toffee drenched in sauce without being too sweet - perfection. This is a favourite haunt for lunch, particularly on a Sunday. food, great and value. Well worth a visit. Had a glorious Sunday lunch. The price is higher but so is the quality. and food are both excellent. The lamb is not to be missed! You’ll feel nicely sated, in an intimate but relaxed dining space. Not ideal for children unless eating outside. The pub is wonderful. Fantastic Sunday roast in a gorgeous setting, great if you go with kids or dogs and a host. A favourite for sure! Banging Sunday roast, couldn’t do enough for us. Asked if we wanted extra veg, Yorkshire puds at the start and throughout as well as lashings of gravy! Very accommodating and staff! And can’t forget the beautiful Dog luna 🖤 - Deserve all the bussiness they can get 🙏🙌 Stayed here for 1 night, very and welcoming, were comfortable, spotlessly clean, with coffee/tea available. We booked an evening and the food was to die for, absolutely fabulous, we will definitely be back 😀 No score for rooms, as we didn't stay and four stars for location only to warn you it's tricky to find, but is it worth the trip - Oh, my goodness, it is SO worth finding. We had no idea how sophisticated and a lay ahead of us. The lobster risotto 'al salto' took us completely by surprise - absolutely perfect. We had the chicken supreme and the Creedy Carver duck as mains and finished with sticky toffee pudding My duck skin was so perfectly rendered that it was almost a layer of crispy condiment on the perfectly pink duck meat. I've never had better. Wonderful value for money and I write this in direct comparison with a tasting menu at the latest superstar opening in Bruton that I did not enjoy even half as much, for four times the bill…... We had a brilliant stay at the Kingsdon Inn. Adam and Cinzia were really welcoming and it felt like such a family pub - the total opposite of a soulless hotel! The food was really special and it was a great spot to explore the gorgeous Somerset countryside. Visited recently for my work Christmas meal. The food was absolutely and the staff were all lovely, and extremely accommodating. Amazing and will definitely be going back. We came for an office Christmas on Saturday night and I wanted to share how fantastic the evening was. The food was exceptional, the was exceptional as was the ambience. Well done Kingston Inn team for a superb night. I would highly recommend this pub and we will be back. Thanks again. We enjoyed a really super here last Wednesday. We sat outside and had wonderful service. The food was top notch both for meat eaters and vegetarians. Thank you We had a truly wonderful at the Inn, following a recommendation. The was warm and very attentive and the food was exquisite - the perfect balance of gastro pub and refined dishes. We can’t wait to return! We had a fabulous here this evening. The staff were very and welcoming and the food was incredible! We will definitely be returning to this wonderful place. Fabulous Sunday roast at the Kingsdon Inn, we even managed to sit in the pub garden in mid April. Need to mention the roast pork and crackling, the fabulous roast potatoes, generous seasonal vegetables, and sticky toffee pud with ginger ice cream! Staff and also could not be faulted. Top lunch! As a chef myself, taking a night off from my restaurant, l came for your post Xmas set menu last Friday. I am so often these days disappointed with expensive mediocre food being served everywhere. I wasn’t disappointed, l joined some girlfriends for a get together. Everything was excellent, from to beautifully presented and food. value for money, as l know how hard it is to produce this level of catering for such a tight budget. Will definately come again, and thank you. My girlfriend and I feel like we stumbled upon a hidden gem here. Both dinner and breakfast were amazing and had me questioning whether any restaurants in my local area were as as this! Adam and Cinzia were very and accommodating and I would definitely eat and stay there again if I am over that way. After just returning from a 2-night stay, I thought I'd check some reviews and see what other people have to say. I was very surprised by some negative comments on here, so I want to address those with my own thoughts. I have stayed multiple times, so I would say I have a understanding of the Kingsdon Inn. Please don't listen to the negative reviews; they're a load of BS and are very pedantic. First of all, the staff at the Kingsdon Inn couldn't be any friendlier. Couldn't ask for better hosts than Adam and Cinzia! The food at the Kingsdon Inn couldn't be any better. We haven't had a single bad meal; every single has been a solid 10/10. I'm yet to find anywhere in the UK with this quality of food, almost everything is homemade. As for the breakfast, it's simply the best breakfast you could possibly have. I can assure you. You would never think such high-quality food would come from such a small establishment! Hats off to Adam and the rest of the chefs. The location is tucked away in the middle of the village, surrounded by a small park and houses. The first time we stayed here, it was midsummer, and it felt like we were in the middle of the French countryside! The location couldn't be better. In regards to staying here, the are perfect and have everything you need. They're super clean and spacious. Due to the age of the building, you may hear some pipes creaking every now and then from the heating, but what do you expect from a building this old? As for the reviews about the noise from below the restaurant, you're staying at a very old inn, again, what do you expect? There's only some noise during restaurant opening hours, but it really isn't that bad. The reviewers are just being pathetic. There are three rooms, and all are above the restaurant. Again, this is only an inn and not a hotel with 100 spread miles away from a kitchen. I hope this clarifies a few things, and I hope you book your stay here because you'd be silly not to. There aren't many places like this in the country, I can assure you! Another at this delightful pub! Great service, atmosphere and the food is DELICIOUS! Only a couple of miles off the A303, we’ll soon be back. Adam, Cinzia and your team Thank you so much for such a perfect birthday evening. warm welcome (on a rainy night!) and we all very much enjoyed your menu! Relaxed and happy family. Thank you!
