Had a lovely lunch here (four incl an 8 yo).... Great quality food accompanied by a Palmers ale. Friendly host and will be back whenever we are on the area. Book ahead a as popular!

Superb meal for early Valentines meal. £36.00 for a three course meal with free two glasses of Prosecco, the food was superb, very fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly, accommadation was clean and comfortable and a super fresh full breakfast.

Perfect friendly pub that cooks a great homemade style carvery…such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere right from the start, our dog was made welcome and offered a treat then served straight away with drinks. A proper quality true pub with wonderful service and a very...happy pub dog. Oh and super roast potatoes! We shall return next time we visit Montacute.More

This is a regular haunt of ours. Very enjoyable meal from a menu with plenty of choice. Lovely village pub with very friendly staff. Always an enjoyable evening.

We’ve been in Somerset for a week now and it’s fair to say our food experiences have been like the weather - hit and miss! After another underwhelming meal last night I took to Tripadvisor and came across the Phelips Arms Immediately the atmosphere was...welcoming and they managed to find us a table. The food was clearly homemade. My husband had the pie, my son had the burger and I had lasagna which, other than my own, was the best I’ve had in a long time. Wish we were staying longer as I’d definitely return. Great atmosphere and fantastic foodMore

We are all vegan and two of us gluten free too. I was very impressed with the number of options that were vegan. I had two gluten free rolls with pesto tomato and cheese, salad vegan coleslaw and crisps it was delicious. My daughter had...a vegan jacket potato which was amazing and the salad with it was great too. Hubbie had a vegan baguette which was also very good and my youngest had plant based meat balls and spaghetti and garlic bread. Nothing was too much trouble and they even had vegan mayonnaise! Thank you for such a calm and happy dinning experience!More

I had booked Sunday lunch to coincide with a visit to Montecute House which is but a few yards away from the pub. We were shown to our table and were advised that the chef would be 'ready' for us soon. We didn't have long...to wait. There was a choice of three meats which were carved in very generous portions. We helped ourselves to a good selection of vegetables which were freshly cooked. The meal was very good indeed. We shared a dessert - Bailey cheesecake in a pot which was rich and creamy. The young staff were helpful and friendly as were hosts, Charles and Ann. It is a lovely old building, full of character. We would be more than happy to return.More
