Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

"Oh My God" it just gets better each time and since the first time I went it was excellent the Food & Staff just are totally amazine. Now if I was a food critic then I would say "DON'T" eat the Honeycomb Golden Nugget Cheesecake and the simple reason is that I would hate to turn up and find out that they have "SOLD OUT". No really this was lush and I wanted to take the plate home to finish every morsel as I would hate to miss a bit, LOL. This is my third visit here (and it will not be my last) and my wife's fourth visit todate and this food heaven just 100% perfect. I have to admit I am fairly new to Thai food (about a year now) but The Lethbridge Arms is on the top of the hill in regards to Quality, Taste, Service & Atmosphere. One big tip when you plan to visit The Lethbridge Arms is to take plenty of tissues as it is so upsetting when you have finished and have to leave.

Visited for the first time tonight after hearing lots of great reviews and it did not disappoint! Great selection of wine at all different price ranges and the owner was really helpful when discussing options and preference. The food was fantastic, great selection on the menu and the portion sizes were perfect - something for everyone. There is so much space inside with lots of cosy spots to enjoy your meal, without feeling in amongst everyone else. Can’t wait to come back!

We are a family group of six people. Our entire experience was fabulous from start to finish! We were served by Sarah who was friendly and efficient without being pushy or intrusive. It was a Saturday evening and despite the pub being busy it didn’t feel crowded and there was a lovely atmosphere. Now to the food - we opted for Thai and it really was superb. Everything was freshly cooked to order in a mild/medium or hot spice according to taste. The sharing platter as a starter was both tasty and good value and the soups were lovely too. We’re already planning a return visit 😊

We visited the lethbridge for a large family meal back a few months ago and the food and service was fantastic. However having returned for a birthday meal with the same group the service was less attentive. Waiting upto 20 minutes for the final meal to come out after pre ordering sometime before . The food was delicious and the pub atmosphere could not be faulted , however we found the service not on par with the standard of food , having to ask for desserts and not being offered tea or coffee . We appreciate the fact the pub was busy , but considering having to pre order we did not expect meals to be missed and having to wait a considerable amount of time .

A really enjoyable evening . The restaurant was really busy with a buzzy atmosphere, but the staff were very attentive and friendly and both food and drinks came quickly. A huge choice of Thai food and nice to know anything could be made mild, medium or hot! We shared the platter starter which gave a nice variety , enticingly presented with 4 different dipping sauces !! The mains were very generous portions and very tasty. And we even managed to squeeze in dessert from their extensive choice. A lovely meal and we will definitely go back soon.

King prawn penang curry was excellent and I asked for it hot and it was (10/10). My partner had king prawn massaman medium spice which was a little bland (7/10). The prawns were big, fat and juicy and plentiful. The prawn toast and crackers were hot and not greasy (10/10). Lovely environment and nice buzz about the place. The only negative was the dessert. Two small slivers of mediocre caramel cheese cake at £7.95 each isn’t worth it. This was our first visit and we will return but not have a dessert.

What a surprise! Thai food in a pub in deepest darkest Somerset. We had missed Thai food since moving to the area from London a year ago. The Pub feels quite traditional on first appearance, and whilst primarily a restaurant, there were groups just drinking, suggesting this was equally attractive to drinkers and diners alike. The Menu, as perhaps you’d expect, offers a comprehensive list of authentic Thai staples alongside more traditional pub fare, in a tempting selection of burgers. Neither seemed to be compromised for the other although the possibility of having chips with a Red Curry did rather send shivers down the spine. We chose Tom Yum Kai and Tom Kha (soups) followed by the Chef’s special Chuchee (fillet of Bass in Thai sauce) and Sweet and Sour Chicken Pad Pre Wan. You could choose your spice level low, medium or hot. As new-comers to the Lethbridge Arms we chose medium. We were very happy - although next time we will go for hot as we like our Thai food spicy. The restaurant was busy on a Saturday night and we were lucky to bag a table at short notice, nevertheless service was attentive. Food presentation and flavour was probably the highlight. We left well fed and satisfied. Bravo!

My wife and I enjoyed an amazing date night here, and the experience was an absolute delight. Our waitress Ruby was friendly and happy to give advice on levels of spice in the dishes - something particularly important given we have vastly different preferences! The starter, a shredded papaya dish, was crisp and refreshing, my wife's duck curry was fantastic, and my stir-fry was just as fiery as I imagined for a "Thai hot" which, while enjoyable, definitely tested my limits and got me sweating! I particularly appreciated chef Amy coming out to check whether the heat was too much and generously offered to make a fresh meal if it was too hot. This definitely made made us feel cared about and valued. The Lethbridge Arms is now our new favourite place for future nights out!

An incredible Thai restaurant in a lovely Somerset pub near the Quantocks. Great pub if you want a pint and traditional pub food, but also a wonderful Thai restaurant. Never been here before and had great fresh food with bags of flavour. I started with a soup full of chicken, green beans, lemongrass and coconut milk. You can specify mild, medium or hot for all the meals. I went with hot and real heat but no loss of flavour. My wife had a papaya salad which was lovely and tangy, but my soup was the winner. We also shared some sesame toast which was brilliant. Main course was a chicken stir fry with jasmine rice which got better as I ate it, whilst my wife had a yellow curry with tofu which I finished for her. Nearly all the food is gluten free and starts as vegan or vegetarian and you can choose chicken, prawn meat or tofu to be added. We couldn't manage any puddings but three starters, two mains and a bottle of wine only came to £71, which was a bargain. Our waitress was lovely, really friendly and attentive. Can't tell you how happy we are to have found this. Great food and ambience at take away prices!

Had a wonderful lunch with friends today. One of our party needs a gluten free meal and the choice for her was really good and varied. It’s not often all six of us experience a really good meal but we did today. It’s becoming more and more difficult to find nice venues for our gatherings and today we weren’t disappointed. Harrison had a lovely manner and served us well. Good value for freshly cooked and tasty food. Good atmosphere too

06/02/2025 From the get go; walking in the door; a very warm welcome from Chevaughn. We had drinks from the bar firstly. There was absolutely no rush to be seated. Once sat the order was taken by Chevaughn who knew the menu inside out and able to advise us on our choices as 6 of 7 were all different (being novices to Thai food and menu). The service was excellent as was the food itself. One to return too without question of doubt.

My husband and I went here for lunch today. with our Border Terrier. It was warm and cosy after our chilly walk and there was a very welcoming atmosphere. Our needs were very promptly attended to by a very friendly Harrison behind the bar. After settling down with some drinks, we ordered some prawn crackers and spring rolls to start with and for the main course my husband ordered the medium Kaeng Khiao wan (Green Curry) whilst I had hot Pad Thai with chicken. The food was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed it in the very relaxed atmosphere. We will gladly return here.

This restaurant is perfect, a mix of traditional Thai food, and classic British pub dishes. The service was excellent, Ruby was always checking on us and was very fast at completing requests. The food was perfectly cooked and perfect portion size!

Lovely food and waitress Lily Mae was excellent! Highly recommended! We didn't know what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised by the authentic food and very attentive service! It was very busy but the staff were enthusiastic and very well organised.

My wife and I dined at the Lethbridge Arms, which is convenient for us as we live on the outskirts of Bishops Lydeard. We particularly like the Thai menu and the restaurant has an authentic Thai chef so the food is authentic and delicious. The service was efficient and despite the inclement weather on a Wednesday evening the restaurant was busy. The menu is varied with a good range of Thai starters, main courses and desserts and the menu also offers a range of burgers for those who prefer less spicy food. Highly recommended.
