Our Review:
“Tucked away in the idyllic village of Thurloxton, Somerset, The Maypole Inn was an incredible find that turned our bank holiday into a full-blown culinary adventure. From the moment we stepped inside, this charming country pub felt like a warm embrace — welcoming us with rustic character and genuine hospitality.
We kicked things off with The Maypole Stack — a towering behemoth of a burger, bursting with flavour and dripping with juicy decadence. It was so generously portioned that even between the three of us, not a single soul could finish it! The lamb rump, tender to the point of surrender, melted effortlessly on the tongue, while the thick-cut gammon delivered that perfect balance of smoky saltiness and succulence.
What truly set The Maypole Inn apart was its ability to serve comfort food without compromise — heartwarming, hearty dishes crafted with care. Friendly, attentive staff made sure our visit was seamless, and the dog-friendly setting made it feel all the more inclusive. This is not just a pub; it’s a destination. If you’re anywhere near Somerset, consider this your sign: go.”
