Great hosts and lovely food best pub in dunster for atmosphere and welcoming staff
Absolutely lovely! We stayed B and B, we were only planning on having one drink and then to retire to bed, but with such a friendly atmosphere we ended up staying up until late! Beautiful people, fantastic pub, delicious breakfast! Thank you!
Visited by chance. Friendly welcome, food tasty and hot. If you are looking for a good pub with plenty of atmosphere and reasonable prices, try the Foresters.
Stayed two nights in Dunster last weekend and because Foresters was just a stones throw from B&B, opted to go to this pub and I enjoyed what I found. Spacious interior, laid out tables as well as bar area. Bar and restaurant staff very friendly and accommodating on both nights, where I arrived later in the evening and without reservation too. Food plentiful and tasty. Very reasonably priced too. Right on the main road out of the village.
This is a pub on the outer reach of the village of Dunster.
A bit more traditional in appearance, with flagstone floors, and many original features including some fireplaces which could make it quite cosy on a cold winter day; especially if you've been out walking.
It doesn't have a car park, and the road is too narrow for on street parking; but there is a pay & display park about 100 metres away which is not too expensive.
The pub offers good food and a number of specials. All appear to use local products. We had a light lunch which was excellent and good value.
Definitely worth seeking out.
This is situated a few minutes walk from Dunster village. Nice old style pub. Reasonably priced. They do food which looked really nice. Staff friendly and welcoming. They have a pool table and a dartboard. Plenty of seating inside. Found to be a nice find. They don't do food Sunday night but still would recommend. Nice to come here after walking around the castle and village.
Do not miss this pub at the end of the village of Dunster. Pat and the team will give you a warm welcome . Treats for your four legged friends and a roaring log fire on those chilly days . A very welcome stop after walk on Exmoor. A well kept pint and the food is delicious , It is home made , hearty and very good value for money . If you want a proper sunday roast , Pat's are legendary, be sure to book. This is a local's pub , however I am a visitor to the area and love Dunster so keep coming back time and time again to stay at the Foresters because the welcome you get is so friendly and genuine - A proper pub ! I have stayed in the accomodation several times, a good night's sleep and tasty breakfast and will always come back for more - We were delayed on the motorway and arrived late one evening after the kitchen was closed . Pat cooked us a late supper , we will not forget. Home from home for us . Thankyou Pat & Team
Absolutely love the wonderful homely family atmosphere of the Foresters in Dunster. Food and accommodation are excellent and the service and friendliness of Pat and all her staff are second to none - absolutely faultless. I highly recommend the Foresters where a warm welcome is always waiting for you - both pet and child friendly and Nelson the resident Parrot is the star of the show! Definitely the best pub and B&B in the whole of Dunster and the surrounding areas where visitors come from far and wide. The medieval setting of Dunster is also absolutely stunning and so full of rich history and folklore.
Probably the best pub in Dunster. The food is very competitively priced as are the wide range of drinks. It has a great beer garden and lots of atmosphere!
Maybe not as classy as the other pubs but a down to earth West Country pub.
Give it a go!
Well what can I say . This pub holds lots of wonderful memories over the years from a teenager to now. Pat and her team are always welcoming . I have a large family and have had several get togethers over the years including our wedding party last year and a wonderful Christmas party. The food was amazing and all home cooked and there was plenty of it. The atmosphere is always friendly . The foresters is a traditional pub that myself,my family and friends love. Keep up the good work Pat 👏. We will be visiting very soon xx

Fabulous place, so welcoming, friendly and atmospheric. We've had some smashing evenings there playing live music and watching other bands. Pat is simply the best, she takes care of everyone and everything making sure you have a great time. Food is very good too, well presented, tasty, lots of choices and good price.
The location of the pub is perfect, especially if you love hiking, the area is stunning & picturesque. The Foresters Arms is the perfect pub to stop for a pint and good food.
Oh and those stunning red geraniums in the windows make the whole village proud!
Pat is a lovely lady, she's always gone above and beyond.
Always there with a warm welcome no matter how long it's been since the last visit home.
Accommodating, friendly & kind. Wonderful food too boot..!
