| Closed up now but has signs on it saying will reopen again as the "Wooden Top inn". Whether this actually happens remains to be seen as there is no sign at all of this pub reopening in it's present state. Any updates on this one? montie49 - 30 Apr 2018 17:39 |
| Hadn't been in this pub in a while. It used to be good, but has gone downhill under the new management. Now seems to cater to a much rowdier, unpleasant crowd - we made the mistake of going when they had live music. The beer was unexceptional, the barmaid was slow to serve, and surroundings looked lacklustre and a bit grubby. Can only assume that the glowing reviews below were written by family or friends, or maybe they were from when the previous owners were still about. If you're in the area give this one a miss and continue on to West Coker. There's a nicer pub there. We'll give the Portman Arms a rating of 2 just because we're not totally heartless.

| Went there for a drink one evening. seemed nice enough. Barmaid was friendly. Didn't try the food so can't comment on it. Anthropoid - 27 Jul 2012 12:42 |
| Oh dear, called in here for lunch. Plenty of nice signs outside including one which said "a warm welcome and atmosphere" Well there was no warm welcome, just a grumpy very scruffy barmaid who looked like she'd just got up! No atmosphere, it was dark and chilly. We had a meal, but it was just average, the ham was obviously the last and they'd just shoved a lump of it on the plate. Can't see this lasting.

| this pub has now been taken over by a new couple who have completely re-furbished the place. The food here now is brilliant with a good selection on the menu. I stayed in one of the bed & breakfast rooms which was very clean. I would recommend this pub now as it is very clean and the whole staff have a very good attitude - not like the previous lot who did not seem to care about their customers. The real ale is kept very well and the shelves are fully stocked showing this place is now actually taking off. The landlady in particular was very pleasant and cooked me a great full english breakfast. Good luck to them in the future. marksman - 25 May 2011 17:44 |
