Very friendly staff! When the pub is busy believe it or not, the staff are also busy serving. I see comments on here saying the staff are rude and not welcoming. That's not true. Be mindful before you leave a review. I've attached the menu's so you can have a look. The food is fresh and delicious the food can take a while but it is all made fresh per order (which is worth the wait). Music is on Sundays at 5pm. Every musician is amazing and creates an amazing atmosphere. The pub is popular with the locals which means there are locals inside, but what do you expect from a pub? The locals are lovely and so are their dogs everyone seems to respects each other. The food and drinks are cheap so what's to go wrong? I'm definitely recommending this place to my friends

Excellent food, would recommend if you're in Cheddar and want something more quirky than traditional pub grub. Great staff, superb atmosphere.

Love this place . It's friendly, down to earth, and laid back. The pub grub is great, the range of cider/beer is well priced, and the outdoor space is nice. Oh, and there's a pool table and regular live music. If you want to chat, people will chat, if you want to be left alone, they'll leave you alone. If you want bells and whistles, go somewhere else. But if you don't, it's perfect

We enjoyed it so much we came back the next day on our holidays. The pub is covered in quirky decor. The cider is cider but there is other drinks and the food yummy. The food was very good value I had the pizza which was tasty and my husband had the biggest ever bowl of chips and cheese we had ever seen! It is also dog friendly.

Nice and easy to find as just set back from the main road. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff with a decent enough menu and prices, but it was the bizarre and variable decor and atmosphere that made me want to give this funny little restaurant a five star review. Nowadays, many restaurants, pubs, cafes, bistros etc are going for a sleek, modern, clean look to forfill the customer expected experience but this ‘Cider barn’ has the most grotty, old fashioned, comfortable, grungy atmosphere made up from funky decorations such as tin signs, recycled furniture, funky wallpaper and carpets. It definitely captivates friendly locals and those interested in cars and bikes, but also the younger generation that just fancy an upbeat, cheap place to meet and have good vibes at. The pizzas were delicious and the cider even better. If your looking for something more conservative, sleek and ‘cute’ or ‘romantic’, I wouldnt recommend this, but if your looking for something truly independent and authentic with a home made atmosphere where you feel you can be yourself, come and give them a visit! I believe they do live music events too, so perhaps visit them on one of those dates. Overall, easy to find, good car park, toilets, seating inside and out, pool table, good food and drink and good service. What more can you want?
