The Litton

There has been a real shift in how well the restaurant kitchen and service team are run in the past few months, making the Litton well worth a visit for meals now compared to our previous visit 2 years ago. The food is excellent and good value and the service is great - very friendly, attentive and helpful.

Absolutely excellent experience and felt so welcome.. liv the waitress was so smiley informative really welcoming and Ollie was soo accommodating and very chatty I have been for food several times and enjoyed but booked a room tonight. Amazing evening

A wonderful lunch in a relaxed, unhurried a**osphere. A huge thank you to Cat for being so lovely and looking after us, making my mother's 80th birthday so special. The food was beautifully fresh and so carefully prepared. Thank you so much. Looking forward to our next visit.

We stayed here for four nights while exploring Somerset. Most of the guests were English couples and families. We had dinner here twice and it was quite good. The hotel gets very busy in the summer so reservations for dinner are recommended. Our room had the most incredible hanging lamps covered in feathers. See picture.

We wanted this place to be as good as the reviews but regrettably the meal we had was shockingly bad. Sunday roast beef billed as “pink” came way over cooked, tasteless and leathery tough. The sign of a kitchen who have no clue is a failed Sunday roast. Not only was the meat awful every other element was cheap and nasty. The 2 (!) roast potatoes were soft. Industrially uncooked. The veg was a dish of greens that were so overcooked the colour was green grey. Impossible to eat. The Yorkshire pudding was flat, burnt on the edge and dry cardboard texture. Finally, the gravy was low grade powdered or granular, over thick and made what was on the plate even more inedible. The smell was horrible. This is a clue to how this kitchen functions. Not a single person can be bothered to make or spend that little extra on real gravy. The second main dish was the “large” size fish and chips. The chips were ok but they used cheap potatoes so they tasted mostly of frying oil. The fish was not large and the batter was dark brown. I attach a picture of my leavings. Also ratio of batter to fish was a joke. All the sauces were the cheapest slimy type made mostly of sugar and vinegar. We both felt sick after this meal. Another feature of this pub is that it is like a busy railway station. Large car park packed with cars. The buildings packed with families inside and out. No doubt some people are after that buzz (with life size plastic Disney type character covered in graffiti where we were sat) but if you want a cozy or quiet country pub you will need to look elsewhere. Each member of staff was really decent, helpful, efficient and sweet. We didn’t complain and leave partly for that reason and partly because doing so ruins the day. And we were starving.

Phenomenal foodie experience. Stunning food, but without the expensive prices set in a welcoming beautiful a**osphere and fabulous service! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience and lovely family evening meal. Will definitely be back one day

The hotel part of the restaurant is lovely the rooms spacious and cosy bathrooms lovely and warm . Large TV and comfy bed storage under the bed which is helpful. The restaurant has lovely food and the breakfast is great. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

We visited the Litton a few weeks ago for lunch & immediately decided we’d like to go back for a night away there - although it’s not too far from home. The pub/hotel is finished to a very high standard, the room was amazing, food was delicious, great a**osphere, staff were very friendly, helpful & a credit to The Litton. Cocktails by Ollie were delicious. We will definitely be going back. Thanks for a great stay.

Met with cousins on Sunday here and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Food was very good and staff very attentive It was very busy, so considering you have to drive here it’s a testament to the fact that they are doing things correctly Excellent
