Lord Poulett Arms

Located in a lovely small quiet village we have stayed several times here now. The food and drink is good if expensive. The rooms are nice but this time round there was a drainage smell in the bathroom. Being an Inn you will get pub noise until late which isn’t ideal if you’re a family and have to go to bed early (not a criticism of this place because all Inns have this downside normally!). Breakfast didn’t have any pastries which kept me healthy but it seemed a bit of a smaller selection this time round. Food quality remained good though.

Second time staying here- cannot recommend enough! What delicious food- breakfast included and it’s so yummy! Staff super helpful and leave lovely biscuits and treats in the room. Rooms are very clean and maintained to an exceptional standard. Lots of parking along the street and lots to do nearby- recommend esp. if you are a National Trust member. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful stay and meal for our anniversary and the staff went above and beyond to make it extra special. Beautiful room with thoughtful touches and some of the best food we’ve had in a while. Excellent breakfast too. We can’t wait to return. :-)

What a wonderful stay we had. We went down this weekend to celebrate with our friends for their anniversary. From the moment you step instead a warm welcome awaits. Log fires and very cosy. We were greeted by John the landlord who showed us to our room. We had our dog with us and he was made welcome with a treat bag and the room was perfect. We had dinner in the evening and the menu choice and wine list. The village was quaint and good dog walks and very peaceful. Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of fruit, cereal and toast and a cooked breakfast and other options. Nothing was too much trouble. Staff were lovely. Highly recommend a stay for a weekend with great hospitality. Will certainly visit again. Thank you. Kim and Paul

Gorgeous pub for Sunday lunch - we didn’t stay so can’t comment on the rooms. The inside is beautiful, especially with the open fire and Christmas tree at the moment. We had 2 beef roasts and 1 pork, the beef was good, VERY pink, which I like, but I can imagine some people wouldn’t, the fat wasn’t rendered on the beef which wasn’t quite to my liking either. Eveything was cooked really well, sprouts & pancetta on the side are a must! I would’ve loved a bigger yorkie - but that’s just me. Dessert was the only negative, came out after about 30 mins and tasted burnt, the staff were super helpful and remedied straight away. Wonderful pub, gorgeous interiors and garden - a real local countryside gem.

What a wonderful place! My girlfriend took me here for my birthday. We were warmly greeted and the atmosphere in the pub was fantastic. The food was excellent and the room was comfortable. All the staff were lovely. The following day I managed to lock my car keys in the car and almost the whole village came out at various points to try to help. It's a special pub in a special village. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

My husband and I stayed here for one night and the experience was just perfect, from manager John's warm welcome and the beautiful room (we had the one with the bath) to the atmospheric and cosy pub (full of locals and buzzy even on a Sunday evening) and the excellent breakfast spread the next morning. It was the perfect country pub experience. We're already planning to return in the summer so we can enjoy the large garden too. Highly recommended.

Absolutely love this pub - the food is consistently excellent, with the majority of the menu being gluten-free which is a huge plus. The service is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming whether you're popping in for a few drinks, a casual dinner, or celebrating a special occasion. Highly recommend!

Lovely carvery lovely place to eat on a Sunday Absolutely delicious! Would thoroughly recommend.

Great atmosphere, very good food and lovely good looking staff! A quiet Monday evening but all the candles were lit. The local beer was good, there was no bloody TV and if there was music I can't recall it. Our dinner was delicious, I had the vegetarian bread pudding which was very unusual and got 10/10. I'm not a veggie but it sounded a great dish and boy did it deliver. not cheap but a great indulgent night out.

My second time at the Lord Poulett, first time for Sunday lunch. It was perfect today, great atmosphere and attentive staff. The roast lamb here was second only to my mums. There was a big portion of well cooked vegetables, and the lamb leg was served sous vide and chargrilled. The beetroot was a nice surprise, well roasted. A delicious home made mint sauce sealed the deal for me. The starter was an usual choice for me, tataki sea bass which was a sashimi style thing. Very delicate and flavoured with coriander and sesame oil. Three courses was probably too much for me, but I tucked it all away regardless. It was £21.50 for three courses, which is a generous price for that amount of quality food. The pud was brownie with whipped cream, fruit and nuts and chocolate and vanilla ice cream. I'm still stuffed full now three hours later. The village is very idyllic, reminded me of the place where the Vicar of Dibley was set. I'll go there again and again without doubt. I'd love to stay in one of the rooms too. 10/10.

Third time to the Lord Poulett and it didn't disappoint! Had carrot soup for my starter, and duck breast for my main, and local cheeses to finish. Their menu is seasonal of course so it's constantly changing, although everything I've had there was wonderful. For the weekends definitely book ahead, there are always busy! Haven't been for lunch yet, but I'd love to as it's a lovely village to see.

Famous across Somerset is the Lord Poulett Arms in Hinton St George (the village with Britain's longest life expectancy). Have been here numerous times over the last few years. The food and atmosphere is epic. On my most recent visit I tried the Steak Burger with their Triple Fried Fries, super! Staff are friendly, and went out of their way to contact us days after one of our party overpaid almost threefold! One of the best pub lunches in Somerset hands down..

Astoundingly good food in a beautiful atmosphere. The staff leave you to it which is a delight because the food is so damn good. Local meat and vegetables knowledgably cooked. Also, old boys from the village at the bar having a pint.deserves its title as Dining Pub of the Year 2009.

This is a great place to have a drink or even better the food is delicious. I thoroughly recommend it.

my ,in their 80's,parents took my sister & her chap + myself,my son & my husband here a few weeks ago,for sunday/birthday lunch,expecting to be able to have a roast meal,not pos at this pub.also portions small as far as my 2 men were concerned,starter & poods fine

yes it is a pretty atmospheric pub just going for a drink it'd be great, but the food at dinner is expensive, portions small and cooking is in the fairly basic range.
