In all our years of living in Taunton, somehow the hubby and I have never visited this pub - today, on a whim of wanting a drive out of town and to visit somewhere different, that changed. Let me tell you, we are 100% glad it did!
On entering we found a beautiful rustic interior with an extremely cosy and relaxed atmosphere - best, there were comfortable sofas by the fire and a very warm welcome from the landlords. Lovely pints at a decent price and the home-made pork stratchings are sublime!
Apparently this amazing pub has featured on Channel 4's B&B reality show,
'Four in a Bed' - it's not something we've ever watched before, but I will definitely be keeping my eye out for a repeat of this particular episode in the future.
By the time we'd finished our drinks, we had already booked ourselves in for a birthday meal for myself in April (the menu looks divine!) and, as far as we are concerned, April can't come soon enough...hopefully we will have warmer weather by then so we can sit outside and take full advantage of the amazing views of the hills to be had....a panoramic camera is a must!
A gem of a place and highly recommended :-)
Not the first we have eaten here, the food is great although on the downside on this occasion they had run out of some of the dishes on their menu and it was only 7 o’clock, however as I said the food is great the service is prompt would highly recommend having an evening out here
We stayed over night and had a meal with drinks the evening we got there. Great place, very accommodating and excellent service too. The evening meal was perfectly cooked, and they were able to let us have our dog with us at all times. If you find yourself close to West Hatch, you must stay there. You won't be disappointed!
Stayed here before , but this is the first time I’ve eaten here , the burger � is amazing I definitely recommend it �
First impressions were a feeling of being run down. Our room was large with excellent ensuite. Inclusion of new curtains and settee would have made the room so much more appealing.
Our evening meal was superb and service was excellent. All in all the place grew on us with pleasant beer garden in idyllic countryside and worth the money.
We stopped on our way to Newquay and had a lovely meal!
The staff were nice and friendly. Very helpful!
We were able to stay in the car park in our motor home with our dogs, lovely place
Can't comment on rooms as we stayed in our camper in the car park. Food was perfection, beautiful local cider and incredibly courteous and helpful team here. Off the beaten track in a gorgeous location. Fully recommend. AND dog friendly!
A great place to go for a meal. Super service from friendly and helpful staff. Location is in the middle of the countryside and head gear views. Food was fantastic on the Sunday a small selection but what there was, was really really good, good sized portions which tested wonderful. A fair selection of wonders and beers was available. As a note the pub is really dig friendly for well behaved dogs.
Didn't stay, just went for supper.
Lovely people, great food, will return.
We had a lovely dinner outside. They catered for my gluten free needs.
This was our 1st time back since being taken over a few months ago. Unfortunately we were not impressed. We have always received a warm welcome, well kept beer and a large selection good quality wines over the last 12yrs no matter who happened to have owned the premises at the time but that appears to have been lost under the new management. The Exmoor ale was cloudy and still, the wine choice was like something out of the 80's...a choice of only 3 by the glass and very poor quality.

Perfect location for meeting friends in Taunton (15 minutes up the road), with a stunning outlook across open countryside, along the Staple Mitzpaine Herepath circular cycling / walking route. If we had more time, we would have loved to walk the route, and enjoy the exquisite home-cooked Indian cuisine in the pub (on our return).
We were very grateful for the delicious meal for 2 we had cooked for us, despite having missed the earlier closing time of the kitchen, on the day we arrived to check in (Sunday evening). Great service, good selection of food, to our dietary requirements - (including meat and dairy-free). A wonderful atmosphere of locals and visitors, mixing together, facilitated by the hospitality of the committed owner/s and staff. We enjoyed chatting around the open fireplace, to orient ourselves to the area, and find out more about the excellent service and hospitality on offer.
We very much recommend Farmer's Arms to anyone passing through this area of outstanding natural beauty; the traditional, modern-facility rooms make a perfect ending to the experience, including Victorian-style bath, with ample space for two :)
Thanks again, we hope to be back one day...
Fiona and Andy.

Hidden jem!
A large group of us decided to go for a walk nearby and booked The Farmers Arms for a post walk meal. We rang on the day and amazingly they were able to accommodate 16 of us if we pre ordered our food. No problem there. Loads of parking at the pub and easy to find.
We had an afternoon slot and had a small side room to ourselves which was great as 7 of the 16 were kids.
Great selection of drinks for all.
Food all came out at the same time, all piping hot and all empty plates at the end! I had the Punjabi chicken which was absolutely delicious whilst all the others had traditional pub grub which all looked lovely.
Deserts were just as nice, the kids all had baby sundaes. They were huge! Us adults had to help them out with them, not complaining about that!
If we didn't have the kids we would have parked ourselves in front of the log stove and had a few more to drink. Seems like a really nice atmosphere with friendly locals propping up the bar.
Definitely one we will return to again in the near future.
Lovely pub, perfectly kept ales and great food (especially the plaice)
Booked late for 6 for Sunday lunch , without a problem . Greeted with very warm welcome in logfire lit lounge .
Ordered 4 roasts and 2 kiddie meals .There was a bit of a delay in the meals being served , but no issue . Meals themselves could have been warmer , and the Yorkshire puds were a bit lifeless , but the veg accompaniments to the excellent beef were very tasty and unusually surprising .Plenty of young staff that are learning as they go , so look forward to them gaining experience , especially on the till as paying the bill was a bit of an ordeal . The ' no chardonnay ' ethos of the previous owners needs correcting quickly . Who ever heard of no chardonnay ????
Warm and welcoming, good food and dog friendly
Thanks

Superb and horse friendly thank you very much for being so welcoming were definitely coming back 😊
The Farmers Arms has been been taken over by new management since the last time we were there very friendly staff new menu personally I think it needs a bit of tweaking but all in all a very nice stay plus dog friendly and nice walks nearby
We stopped overnight in our campervan, it was a convenient place to park, very quiet peaceful setting. The pub itself is lovely, nicely decorated and comfortable, with a good beer garden that we enjoyed several hours of sun and ciders in! Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The evening meal was delicious, and our hot breakfast the next day was too. Top marks, we'd happily stay again.
