Richard and Jacqui welcome you to the Owls Nest – home of great food and the finest real ales. We hope that you will come to visit us very soon.
We offer homemade, locally sourced great food at attractive prices.
The full menu is available lunchtimes and evenings!
At The Owls Nest every day is a Sunday Roast day if you choose! We buy the best locally-sourced meats and offer them to our customers as the treat they deserve.
The Owls Nest always has a delicious home cooked pie on offer, lovingly made by our resident pie supremo Danielle. Have you tried one yet?
We are rightly famous and recognised for the quality of our real ales. There are invariably three or four handpumps at the bar offering a range of beers from around the South West and further afield. Our now annual Beer and Pie Festival is a bright light in the dark evenings of winter – keep your eyes open for news of the next one!.

I've driven past this place so many times and it's always busy. We went in for a drink there once and wanted to go for a meal. We finally went with friends last night and it didn't disappoint. The food is home cooked, good portions and delicious. The girls who served us were great and it was very Christmassy so a wonderful atmosphere. My only criticism is that our table was near the door and the front door is held open (?) so the freezing cold wind comes in through the inner doors and made it unpleasantly cold. I'd ask for a different table next time but we'll definitely be going back.
We were told by a neighbour to try the Owls nest last January (2023) and we have been coming for Sunday lunch ever since( apart from twice for family reasons) we have a little dachshund who is very well behaved and it’s such a pleasure to be able to take her with us. The food is second to none, I would have a job to compete with the chef and I class myself as a very confident chef of good old fashioned food. This place is a gem, warm and friendly owner and staff. It is a real treat and an absolute pleasure to visit this pub.
This building has been in the family for over a 100 years come see this lovely building and enjoy some delicious old fashioned food. He was telling us some lovely stories about his family and how many generations have owned it and he even said the people were out with their phones measuring the difference angles of the floor it's pretty incredible. We haven't stayed in the rooms per se but I imagine there are amazing
