Found myself standing outside wondering how on earth I get into the place? Not very clear, found a door and hoped for the best. Very friendly staff and we were welcomed as soon as we walked in. Food was lovely and a good selection of veg. We had the carvery which is plated up rather than you going up to get it and choosing you own.
Great selection of puddings and all very appetising.
Word to the wise though:- when you pay your bill you will see on there they charge you optional gratuity(tip) @10%, there is nothing optional about it. First thing you know about it is when you check your bill. Would be nice to be told about it.
We are away for the weekend in Castle Cary having a bit of a break from city life and sucking in as much of that lovely fresh air as possible!! 🏞
We were recommended the Alhampton Inn and booked in for lunch earlier today. The pub itself is an absolute beaut, recently expanded during Covid and it’s looking fantastic for it!! The two gents we met running the place were brilliant - friendly, informative and just genuinely good people, they really made you feel welcome!
Then the food… absolutely banging!! Everything we had was delicious, with that Haddock Smokey stealing the show - when was a pot of cheesy fish with crumble on top not gonna be amazing!! 😍😍
Our fave things: It’s a toss up between the great service and that banging Smokey!! 🐟
We came to this pub off the cuff. We had all the starters and desserts as we weren't that hungry. All the food was of a very high standard and the staff were lovely and very friendly. We will definitely come back. The Butcombe Ale was exceptional.
