Devonshire Arms

WOW! That’s the best word to describe our visit last week.
We were a disparate group of 12, ranging from 9 months to 76 years with a couple of food allergies thrown in for good measure.
We had a very friendly reception when we arrived, shown straight to our table and drinks order taken. Then the food order. As touched on above, we had a two members of our party that are intolerant to both gluten and dairy (henceforth referred to as «the Two» for the sake of brevity); our waiter went to the kitchen to check what would be suitable (this is where it gets good), he came back and explained that more-​or-​less every dish on the menu, was either suitable or could be adjusted to suit. My Wife (one of the intolerant ones, love saying that!) would have been speechless, had she not been overwhelmed by having a choice, not something she’s used to these days (her «choice» is normally limited to ham, egg & chips).
The usual bread and butter was served, with gluten free bread and little dishes of balsamic vinegar and olive oil for «the Two»; Amazing!
My grand-​daughter (4 years old) decided she would like fish and a Yorkshire pudding, which you will not be surprised to hear is not a standard menu option, but it was duly served and enjoyed.
I have reviewed this place before, and I must just mention that the interior has had a revamp since our last visit and very nice it is too, but to get back to the food: Exemplary. Cooked to perfection. I did specifically comment on the vegetables last time and I will do so again; after the event I always remember the fantastic way the vegetables are cooked, but the memory does not do them justice. To taste them again surpasses the recollection.
And «The two» had a good range of sorbets to choose from; I had the Chocolate Torte with praline ice cream. If you haven’t got my drift yet, I would totally recommend this place. Please do give it a try.

My wife and I have just had two days at the Devonshire Hotel. We both agreed that we had a most wonderful time there. The Staff were polite and very helpful at all times. The room was large. The bed was big and very comfortable with lovely bedding and pillows. The shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. The food was incredible. A very good menu. A large selection to choose from. The food was cooked very well. It was all freshly prepared and cooked. The table was yours for the whole evening if you required it. There were no pressure from staff to move you. If I had to find a slight fault it would have to be the use of paper table covering and rather thin paper napkins. Apart from that a very comfortable and clean hotel with a homely feel. Good value for money. Would recommend the B&B and evening meal package for £280.

The Devonshire Arms is a Pub come Restaurant come Hotel that sits beautifully in the centre of Long Sutton, just off the village green.
The old inn has been recently spruced up and is perhaps a little too modern for my likely, but the olde world touches to the restaurant, bar and hotel are it’s saving grace.
I went here for a big birthday lunch with the family and the food was excellent. I certainly couldn’t fault it, even if the furniture, menu presentation and other aspects reminded me a little tooo much of All Bar One.
The hotel is perfect for a Somerset visit, being in the middle of many great attractions, from Glastonbury to Montacute House, Cheddar Gorge and much, much, more.
If you are looking for a weekend getaway then this is as good a spot as any, and although the rooms are on the pricier side, you can certainly tell the difference between the Devonshire and other pub hotels in the area.
