  • 4/5 Monica T. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a super meal here with visiting family from France. The service and food were wonderful. However it was marred by the high noise level in the main eating area. This was due in part to a small group who guffaw and squealed almost all the time we were there. It made quiet conversation hard and was intrusive. A quiet area would be nice or possibly additions to mute the noise level generally. Being asked to leave our table although we had finished and were about to leave we felt unneccessary and slightly aggrieved. We hadn't dawdle or taken excessive time. All very polite but made us feel as if the restaurant had become a 'pack 'em in' joint which we have not experienced before and we have visited on many occasions. A shame as we value good professional service and gentle ambience. We will return but request a quieter place to dine if possible.

    A calm easy going late lunch today. Dog friendly. Good food well prepared and served. We we’re welcomed and politely served. A gem of a country boutique pub and well recommended. Our server Kat deserves a star for her style and manner. We will come back again and please keep things as they are. But don’t get too well known we would like to keep you secret. Well done.

    Wow what a beautiful place to stay! My husband and myself stayed for 3 wonderful nights. The staff were all exceptionally warm and friendly and nothing was to much trouble which made our stay so great. Our room was very comfortable and lots of lovely touches like toiletries, gowns, slippers,hand sanitizers and was offered fresh milk a great plus. Lovely location with lots to see and do close by. The food served here was also excellent, thank you all and look forward to returning again.

    Visit with family, good choice of drinks, wine Draught & bottle beers also serve low alcohol beer, food was excellent, order and brought to table by friendly and efficient staff, outside area with good size car park. Steps down to bar entrance , however I was not aware of a ramp down for less than able people, disabled toilet was available though. Overall an enjoyable visit.

    If you're looking for authentic country food and exquisite cocktails, look no further than this charming little gem of a restaurant. From the moment you walk in, the warm and friendly staff will make you feel right at home. When it comes to great food and cocktails, this restaurant hits the spot. The food is delicious, and the cocktails are just superb –making it the ideal place to unwind and enjoy life's simple pleasures. Highly recommended!

    Very pretty pub, having been lots over the last few years I do often leave feeling that I did not get value for money. It’s very expensive and the food is average, wine is nearly the price of a bottle per glass and the staff although never rude are often unenthused slow to serve, especially if you’re seated outdoors, they’re all quite young so perhaps just lack the experience to deliver a level of customer care one would expect of an establishment charging what they do. The location, decor and ambiance, however, are great I’d go back for the vibe and an evening drink, but for food I’d look elsewhere where for better value.

    Amazing weekend break at The Litton. From start to finish we could not fault anything. The decor is lovely and cosy, and every little detail has been thought of. The bar and food area is welcoming and comfortable, there are lots of options for food and drinks (we loved the game pie!), and most of all we have to highlight how professional and welcoming all the staff were - it really was a delight to stay and we hope to come back very soon!

    One of our best ever pub experiences. After travelling 4 hours from Cornwall with 2 dogs (one of which is a reactive rescue), we were welcomed warmly for dinner and Ollie our waiter was absolutely brilliant with the dogs. The food was delicious and excellent portions. We would come back again in a heartbeat, and hope to book to stay next time we're in the region. Thanks everyone at the Litton (especially Ollie!)

    Beautiful pub with great outside space. Went for lunch. Had a sharing ploughmans platter. Very disappointed. It's a bit too much for one but no way enough for two. 3 pieces of bread, 3 slices of apple, 1 egg 2 quite small slices of cheese. Ordered a side of chunky chips that were inedible. As we were there to celebrate a birthday, I didn't make a fuss but will probably not go back.

    Stayed for 3 nights. We chose a lovely room with vaulted ceiling, all very clean and inviting. Breakfasts and evening meals were delicious, quite obvious they have a very good chef. There were a lot of people booked in for meals and it was easy to see why. Finally possibly the happiest, friendliest most efficient staff you could wish for. As you can see we enjoyed it!

    Visited for a Sunday Roast absolutely excellent, possibly the best one I have had. Service was excellent. Nice selection of drinks. 10/10 must visit again soon.

  • 4/5 Ed H. 9 months ago on Google
    A really lovely pub. We went in unfortunately terrible weather and because of a late extra booking had to sit outside, but the patio heaters and feature fire were good at keeping the cold mostly at bay and the blankets a nice touch too. Staff were attentive and polite, food was decent and didn’t break the bank.

    Absolutely brilliant place! Very relaxing and quite. Our kid was running around the beautiful landscape and then was enjoying gorgeous food! Compliments to chef for such a creative way to serve the food! Everything was incredibly tasty! Everyone who is coming to this lovely little village highly recommend to visit this place for great food and service!

    Absolutely beautiful pub in a lovely area. Our meals were delicious and dessert/coffee too. The outside area was near empty when we were leaving so we were able to relax and chat after our meal by the fire. Some honest feedback; whilst our meals were delicious, I found the portion sizes quite small. My husband and I had the chicken roast and I felt we weren’t given enough chicken. Each of us were given two roasters, one part of a carrot and one part of a parsnip, one half piece of courgette on top of a bed of mashed swede, some greens and cabbage. I had a gluten free roast so unfortunately mine came with no Yorkshire. The kids meal my son got was ‘pizza’ but was a French bread pizza - since he is 3 it was a little hard for him to eat (like crusty), and cost £8.50 with no scoop of Icecream included - that was £2. Overall we had a lovely time and would come again.

    I only ate at the restaurant, so I can’t speak for the hotel, but The Litton has to be one of the nicest places in Somerset! Myself and my family ate here for my 30th birthday dinner and the whole experience was incredible. The venue is beautiful, the service was friendly, welcoming, and caring, and the food was delicious! It’s got the feeling of an old country pub but with modern tweaks that maintain and enhance its heritage. I’d absolutely be back if I’m in the area again.

    We loved the entire experience at The Litton. They were so very accommodating and friendly. We had a special dinner and they made sure all was smooth and delicious. The room was also so lovely and we had amazing breakfast in the garden. Highly recommend !!

    A wonderful stay with family at The Litton celebrating a 30th Birthday. 10/10. Fabulous place with top staff. Rooms and food were incredible. Couldn't ask for more. What an amazing find. Thankyou to the Manager and staff at The Litton. Spot on!

    Very welcoming and friendly, with a great menu of gluten-free and vegan food. Lovely setting near the stream... Smart and clean. Can't fault it! Been wanting to go here for years and so glad I finally did!

    Came for lunch with a family member who has just had a baby. Our first obstacle was actually getting into the building. From the car park there are three sets of stairs that you have to negotiate. So with me hobbling down with my stick while the Mr helped with the pram, we must have looked pretty interesting trying to get in. We did ask if there was a more accessible way out, but we were met with uncertainty. Nice to see there is a wheelchair friendly toilet, but good luck getting it down the stairs! We chatted for a bit, and eventually we decided on a light bite for lunch and we all had a sandwich - more precisely a baguette. I know times are difficult for everyone right now, and that you have to factor in wages, electricity, gas, rates etc into your prices, but my £12.50, yes you read that right, cheese and tomato baguette was not worth the money. When you consider a small portion of battered haddock and chips is the same price - and fish isn't cheap right now - I'd steer clear of the sarnies. It did come with some chunky chips, that were a little chewy in places, and a vague salad but none of this justified the price. It tasted ok... but if you can't get a cheese and tomato sandwich right, rethink your career. Decided to have dessert... That was a mistake. I opted for the carrot & walnut cake with spiced carrot puree and gingerbread crumble. The carrot cake was dry and hardly tasted of spice - if it hadn't been for the mascarpone cream it would have been difficult to swallow. The "puree" was just wet and lifeless. The gingerbread crumble, again, barely tastes of anything... Such a shame. We were with family so, for those of you that are shouting at the screen "why didn't you say something", I just thought it best to have a great time catching up, rather than moaning. Staff were great throughout, though, applause to them. Really helpful, checking for allergies etc. It looks fantastic from the outside, it's set in beautiful countryside... I just wish I'd had a better time with the food.

    Outstanding service!!! Wow what an incredible group of waiters/waitresses! We had a group evening meal of 14 people here on a Saturday night in Dec. It was a Xmas set menu which we preordered and that was all communicated and organised effectively prior to the evening. On the evening itself, the service provided was the best we’ve ever had and the whole group truly felt like we were the only table in the pub. The staff were so attentive to what was going on, when the best time was for the meals to come out, when people wanted drinks, when to bring out a birthday cake - honestly no one had to ask for a single thing because they were just so on it. The food was amazing, filling and we were all served literally at the same time so no one was waiting for food because it all come together. Just amazing amazing amazing. If you are looking for a pub in Somerset to host a hassle free, tasty group meal I genuinely couldn’t recommend this pub more. We can’t wait to return. Thank you!!

    Poor veggie selection (actually no veggie mains, just vegan). Choice between vegan burger and curry. Had the curry and it was terrible, nothing like any massaman I’ve ever tasted (in a bad way). Far too much citrus used, very acidic to eat. Meaty mains were good but in 2023 the veggie options need to be a lot better!

  • 5/5 Amy W. 9 months ago on Google
    Such a lovely place! Absolutely amazing staff, food and rooms set in a gorgeous location. The staff, particularly George and Ollie couldn't do enough for us - they were amazing! Thanks so much

    We stayed in The Sherbourne, which was a generous size with dual aspect but the sound of the extract fans were quite noisy. Fortunately we were given ear plugs. The staff however, were exemplary! A young crew of enthusiastic, genuine and helpful people. They were well trained, eager and all seemed to enjoy their work. Most impressive!

    Had a nice mid-way family gathering for lunch at the Litton which turned out to be a great choice. Food was excellent for both the main courses ( I had the lamb together with a very nice Riojca) and the home made sweets - sticky date pudding enjoyed by all! Also a very nice ambiance and great service from 'Cat' who was most attentive throughout, offering good advice and explanations from the menu as required. No doubt one day we will return - highly recommended.

    Beautiful rooms, well decorated and very clean! The staff and service was excellent. Location was lovely but we couldn’t find any good walking routes directly from the pub which we were hoping for but that’s not their fault. Really recommend and great value for money!

  • 5/5 Ellie X. 8 months ago on Google
    Just had the loveliest birthday lunch here! We sat out next the river on a comfy table with blankets available if needed. The staff were fabulous and made us feel relaxed & always on hand if we needed anything. Staff were all upbeat and smiling nothing was to much for them! Food was wonderful my friend has a gluten intolerance and the waitress brought her out some gluten free toasted bread to have with our crab without us even asking. The kitchen altered our main so we could both enjoy a Cesar salad. We were comfortably full unfortunately no room for desserts but they looked incredible and we will be returning to try! The litton was beautiful inside and out & truly hidden gem! Thanks to all staff

    Highly recommend staying here - we stayed for 3 nights with a newborn baby and dog. The staff were all kind, supportive, and always happy to help. Situated in a little village in the Mendip Hills, this is a fantastic place for anyone who likes good food, countryside walks, and needs a quality dog-friendly hotel.

    My partner and I ate here for dinner, a beautiful place, good service, and the food was sensational! We had the pulled beef shin crispy roll and the pressed lamb belly for starters, both were 10/10 and I think some of the best food we have ever had. Mains were the maple glazed rolled pork belly and the beer battered haddock, again both absolutely delicious, the pork with creamed leeks and Italian roast potatoes were so flavoursome and the haddock crispy, flakey and fresh. All 4 plates went back completely empty! We would have had a pudding but we were so full from the generous portion sizes we couldn't manage! 100% recommend - one of the best places we have ever eaten.

    If you're looking for a place to eat and stay - The Litton is hands down my top recommendation for the Somerset area. My partner, god parents and I stayed here over the Easter long weekend and it was an unforgettable experience. The rooms were absolutely beautiful and had that luxury boutique style to them which made the experience feel really special. Now, let's talk about the food - the pub dishes were modern and absolutely delicious. We ended up dining at The Litton for every dinner during our stay because nearby pubs and restaurants just couldn't compete. Every dish was wonderful and really exceeded our expectations - a big shout out to the kitchen who pumped out such wonderful food at such a high standard day in and day out. Also, the included breakfasts were very generous and delicious - everything you could want and more! I have to give a special shout-out to Holly, who made our stay at The Litton feel like we were part of the family. She was always so welcoming and helpful, and went above and beyond to assist us with our dinner reservation and adhoc requests. All in all, The Litton exceeded our expectations in every way, and I can confidently say that I would go back and stay at this wonderful B&B in a heartbeat.

    Sunday lunch was about £17 plus drinks. Service was as good as you'll get anywhere, not hassled but arriving at the right time to take orders then short wait for service. Food was enough and came ready served not on separate dishes. It was cooked well and full of flavour. Meat was cooked nicely and flavoursome and portion size good so felt full with just the main. I rarely have starter of pudding in any case but what I saw of others looked good although a starter and pudding will double your bill and I'm not sure it's then such great value. This is the same as most other restaurants now days though. Surroundings are well decorated and laid out and cozy which gives it a very comfortable atmosphere. Whilst it's quite expensive in these times it's actually not bad given the costs businesses face. For the occasional treat it's a lovely place to go. Menus and prices are on line.

  • 5/5 Tamasin G. 10 months ago on Google
    Had a lovely afternoon sat outside enjoying the sunshine. We stayed here previously and loved it, & our return visit for an early dinner didn't disappoint. The food & service were fantastic, we will definitely be returning.

  • 5/5 Paul B. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was top notch, excellent flavours and portions that acknowledge people go to restaurants because they are hungry not simply for an experience. The dining areas are very well appointed and there is ample room so guests are not crow-barred in. Good service and pleasant staff made for a great evening. The restaurant is well known locally but if you are travelling from outside the area you should know that the location is very picturesque offering easy access to Wells and the Mendips and that there is ample parking with well laid out gardens for when the weather permits al fresco activities.

    Stayed for 3 nights over New Year and the team at every level could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Very professionally run, lovely rooms, great food and cocktails. Great location for exploring the area, Bath, Wells and great walks in the local countryside.

    Lovely pub. Nice beer garden, interior design is great, friendly staff. It was my first time there, but I will go back in the future for sure. The food and drink choices are great, couldn't decide what to go for, so I have to go back to sample the rest.

    We celebrated a 30th Birthday for my Son at The Litton on a busy festive Saturday evening. One word Outstanding! Exceptional service, food and staff. Everything was spot on and nothing too much trouble! We also stayed in the rooms which were fabulous. Our new favourite place! Thank you to the Manager and his team for a perfect 10/10 evening! 🎂🥂🎉🥳

    We stayed at the Litton in December on our wedding night for 2 nights. The staff were fantastic, they went above and beyond with all the small details to make it feel like the most special experience. The Litton felt like a home away from home, the room had all the amenities we needed. We had brunch the next day with some of our wedding party and the food was fantastic. Would highly recommend it exceeded all expectations!
