The Montague Inn, Shepton Montague

Eaten here a bunch of times and never had a bad meal. So many places just aren't worth the money thesedays, and althought it isn't cheap (not over the top expensive either) you at least feel the chef and the staff have given you something decent in return for your hard earn't cash. Oh, and at the time of writing this they do a very decent set menu for a tenner on a tuesday evening. A very highly recommended establishment.

The Three Horseshoes, Batcombe

A well presented pub with a lovely gardens and friendly staff, with a good selection of drinks.
As for the food, it was quite reasonable although nothing fantastic. Maincourses were well presented and enjoyable, although not as tastey as they could have been. In particular the steam pudding was a washout, dry and flavourless, however the sticky toffee pudding was up there with the best of them.
So a bit of a mixed bag, persoanlly I wouldn't go there again as I don't feel it is good enough to be worth the money. I appreciate that places have to charge more thesedays to make money with the rising cost of everything, but I can't help in feeling unless they can produce something a little more inspiring, average earners won't be prepared to part with there hard earned cash.
