I had lunch here on 26/10/23 with a group of friends having pre booked a large group all having different dishes . The food was excellent and clearly freshly cooked to order so don’t expect instant service ( which was excellent ). The array of choices on the menu was good although I would suggest more choice for vegans or those with food intolerance? Having said that they were more than happy to “ tweak “ the dish I chose . Would highly recommend this pub to anyone , but don’t expect cheap , fast food ! It’s far better than that !

Visited for Sunday lunch on a very busy Sunday.
Luckily we booked a table.
Food was lovely, plentiful, fresh and very nicely presented. Great selection of wines too.
We will definitely visit again.
Had a super meal here after a walk in the lovely countryside.
Food was excellent and very tasty and staff very friendly and efficient.
Would highly recommend.
Parking wasn't a problem that day.
A great country pub. Staff are lovely and a really good menu. Menu just right,not too many choice so you know it's going to cooked fresh. Can highly recommend then faggots and mash. Going to try the fish and chips next time. The people on our next table had it and it looked amazing. Great selection of beers from a great brewery. Can highly recommend.
We have eaten at the King John a few times now and always found them to have an interestingly varied menu available.
Tonight we enjoyed Vennison faggots with mashed swede and greens and Hanger and Sirloin steaks.
All perfectly cooked and fully flavoursome.
The service was excellent, fast efficient and friendly.
We particularly appreciated Zac’s helpful explanations of the meals available.
We had a great time and will definitely recommend to friends and come again ourselves .
Really enjoyed it, in a fantastic location and the King John Room was definitely worth the extra - lovely staff for drinks and an excellent dinner. An all round excellent review from us. (If I had anything as a tiny negative to say, perhaps certain members of the kitchen staff shouldn’t be pumping out hardcore American gangster rap music from the kitchen in to the car park - it’s perhaps not quite in keeping with a rural Wiltshire village setting).
19 of us enjoyed a wonderful lunch yesterday. A big thank you to Kate and Sarah and the team. The menu was just ideal for us as you offered smaller portion for some of us oldies! A delightful location and we will be back when we are next in the area. Thank you once again - Judi, Somerton u3a
We had a delicious dinner last night. Such a great place with excellent menu & tasty food. Thank you to everyone, including and especially Zac & Nicholas who served us.
We are staying locally, and the King John was recommended to us for a meal while we're here.
While I would have liked more vegetarian options, the sweet pea and mint ravioli with feta was lovely! My partner had the cheese soufflé which she was very happy with.
For dessert, the lemon posset was delicious, but there was a problem with the chocolate sauce on my partner's brownie and ice cream order; it tasted very strange, bitter and coarse to us. Staff were sympathetic and without any fuss at all brought her a new dessert with a fresh chocolate sauce in a jug to try, and that was perfect, definitely ending the meal on a high.
We very much appreciated the kitchen being so flexible and the staff being kind about our initial complaint. Looking forward to coming again!
Great rooms and wonderful food. Perfect location. We were served by Jules and he was incredibly polite and helpful! Looking forward to visiting again.
