This pub has to be one if my favourite pubs to visit.
Tucked away on the hills of Mendip on the Wells Road , the Hunters Lodge Inn is a popular place with locals and visiting cavers.
It's one if those places that is stuck in time. There isn't even a card machine and cash is king.
The ales and beers available here are locally sourced but there is a limited choice. The food is super tasty and is home cooked. Did I mention how tasty the food was. Lol.
In short, this pub is stuck in time and should never change.
The landlord Roger is in his 80s and still runs a well oiled bar. I've not been there for over 3 yrs and he still remembered my name.
I would definitely recommend a visit here for a fix of nostalgia and a yummy pint to boot.
And if all that wasn't enough to tempt a visit, it's even got its own cave attached to the side of the pub and can be visited if you dare. Just ask Roger for the key.
Excellent country pub which feels like it's in the middle of nowhere. Simple country decor inside (it was a dark cold November evening when we visited, so didn't venture outside much, apart from the trip to the toilets). Real ales served on gravity, and a range of proper ciders are available. Food is hearty and wholesome, including some spectacularly strong cheese and onion rolls and warming macaroni cheese. Two rooms, the 'back room' was host to a number of local folk/Irish musicians on our visit, apparently a regular occurrence. Wished we had been able to stay longer.
Love this pub still the way pubs used to be.
Just remember to bring cash as they don’t do contactless.
I have been going there since I was a young lad and still able to go caving.
Roger is such a nice person so friendly and always pleased to see you.
The food is great and I can never go without having their old school faggots and peas in gravy with a gert slice of bread. Flipping awsome..! 👊😎👍
If you want to visit the perfect Somerset pub... this is it! Ale straight from barrel and the most scrumptious ham/cheese rolls. Set in a time warp and bursting with character. Cash only.
If you like a proper old fashioned pub you'll struggle to find better one. Flagstoned floor barrels behind the bar (beer on gravity) usually from Butcombe or local breweries the food is basic but tasty, wholesome and very reasonable. Just a thing to note, the pub's on a crossroad and might appear a bit derelict but don't let this put you off, it's a real rare gem for the true lover of proper country pubs.
Warm welcome. Lovely garden. Great beer and cider. Simple but hearty food with decent portions and very fair prices.
Beer straight out of the barrel, good wholesome food, absolutely loved it, all pubs should be like this!!
It's like stepping back in time, wonderful pub!
Limited food choices. It is a marmite pub. It is like being transported back to the 1930's. Absolutely packed when we were there. Meeting of the local cavers association.
Why am I giving this wonderful pub 5 stars? I don’t want anyone else to come and spoil it. Everything about it is top notch. Try the food and stay the whole afternoon. Fantastic walks at nearby Stock Hill.
