We cannot recommend Stephane highly enough! He is an exceptional electrician who truly goes above and beyond for his clients. When we had an urgent issue, Stephane responded promptly and even attended out-of-hours to ensure our problem was resolved as quickly as possible. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident throughout, and he made a stressful situation so much easier to handle. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, efficient, and genuinely cares about delivering top-notch service, Stephane is the person to call. Thank you, Stephane, for your outstanding work

We have used ZS Electrical 3 times now and each time the service has been incredibly quick (twice I had emergencies and he came within 20 minutes and the other on the same day). The work was carried out promptly, zero mess left and was so well priced. I've also had no issues with the works carried out since. Hence why I continue to use ZS electrical as I trust the work, which is so important these days! Would recommend every time.

We enjoyed another fabulous dinner at the Cotley this evening. Packed with diners, and people at the bar yet it wasn’t noisy, the service was impeccable, and it was warm and cosy on a chilly evening. As for the food, sensational for a country pub that’s a cut above, without being pretentious. Thank you for squeezing us in at no notice. We’ll be back.

We had another fabulous meal at the Cotley last night (28 Dec) As soon as you walk in someone says hi! Be with you in a second. Truly a great team here. Professional yet still retaining a common touch. That’s a good thing by the way! Table was waiting and menus were given and drinks were ordered. Smart service. But not rushed. The table is ours till we’ve eaten our fill. That doesn’t take long either. Portions are generous and delicious! We had everything from trout (my starter and so delicious) could go on. Duck. Venison. Burger. All absolutely delicious. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

My husband booked us a room at the inn for the night for my birthday (and our first night away since becoming parents!) and our stay was just the best treat! Our room was absolutely charming - gorgeous outdoor area and we loved the suite set up - having the beautiful lounge area and then separate mezzanine sleeping area. Everything from how the room was styled with gorgeous coffee table books to the luxurious bed etc was on point. The staff were warm and super helpful, our evening meal was excellent and the breakfast in the morning was amazing - high quality and gorgeous setting. We honestly can’t wait to stay again!

We came for Sunday lunch and were really bowled over by how good our whole experience was! The “Bloody Shame” was absolutely delicious, the pheasant katsu was a very creative dish, and the roasts were out of this world. All this was made even better by such a warm, personable staff at the pub. Thanks so much - we will come again!

Had a fab overnight stay here this weekend. Everything was absolutely on point. Customer service was super friendly and intuitive, food was fantastic and there was a good drinks list. The room we stayed in was gorgeous and very well done and there were lots of nice little touches such as the guest’s pantry. Will definitely be going back

Chris is very efficient, quickly understood the jobs that needed to be done and completed them excellently. I would definitely recommend him to other potential customers.
Rating: 5 / 5
We contacted Chris to install electrics and network cabling in our new office unit in Bristol. From the first meeting with Chris, all the way throughout the project, working with Chris was extremely collaborative and professional. Chris completed the work to a great level of quality, and was flexible when we had to make some minor design changes along the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris, and we will certainly contact Chris again for any future work.

I recently had an electrical issue at my home and reached out to Entrust Electrics for assistance. I couldn't have been more impressed with the promptness and professionalism of their service. From the moment I contacted them, they were incredibly responsive, they scheduled a visit at a time that suited me, and they arrived promptly, wasting no time in diagnosing and fixing the problem. They conducted themselves with the utmost courtesy and expertise, explaining the issue in simple terms and outlining the solution clearly. Overall, I cannot recommend Entrust Electrics highly enough. Thank you, for your outstanding service!

Very happy with the standard of work Chris carried out. We had a new fuse box put in, sockets installed and a fault with our shower isolator remedied; all done efficiently and very neatly. Chris was professional, honest and got on with the job at hand. Competitively priced and wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again. Nice one!

I cannot recommend Chris at Entrust enough. His knowledge is A1. His ideas and designs have the perfect balance to meet practical as well as aesthetic requirements. He is a very friendly and personable chap. He is very aware he is working in your home and we felt very comfortable leaving him to work independently and trusted him with keys to our property. His work standard is A1 as is his efficiency. His pricing matched his quotes and he went above and beyond in every way to make sure we were 100% happy with every aspect of his work. He was very tidy, always using dust sheets and vacuuming up after every visit. You wouldn't have known he'd even been here. We will never use anyone else. Do use Chris, you won't be disappointed.

Had such a lovely stay, and meal. Warm welcome, a clean and cosy room (silent all night - I slept like a log). Dinner was gorgeous - can't recommend the food enough. Breakfast also delicious. Staff were all so friendly throughout - after a long drive and a stressful day it was just what I needed. Will definitely stay again.

Visited my close friends on NYE at Castle Cary. They introduced me to their lovely local pub and I heard a lot of good things about this place. Wow, as soon as we stepped in I felt the warm welcome from the bar. A very good choice of drink and draught beers and ales. The menu choices were great and very tasty. I opted for the Special of the day and shared the starters, but we skipped the dessert as the portions were huge. Very clean and very friendly. Highly recommend when you're in this area.

We loved this place, sadly a Monday so pub/restaurant closed but Adrien gave us a copy of menu (very good) which we given to my daughter & family so am sure they and us will eat there before long. Adrienne is a super chap, charming and helpful. Cheers Bill & Chris

First visit to this really lovely pub and the food, staff and service were excellent 👍. One of the very best Sunday lunches we've ever had. Cooked to perfection and gravy was amazing 👍👍 Staff so friendly, will definitely be visiting again.

This place is such a hidden gem! Beautiful rooms, great bar and the breakfast choices are akin to the best Central London cafes. They have nailed it on every level. Only one reason I could not give five stars and it is out of their control.....the roosters next door! by 5.30am wake up call was a bit of a shocker and it would not relent. Do stay here, it's worth it....but take ear plugs!

Went for a Mexican and half price cocktails on a Wednesday evening. Mexican is cooked in a van in the car park, but served in the bar/conservatory - excellent food (real cutlery but takeaway boxes).

A stellar experience. Lovely service from the team, who clearly are passionate about what they do. The steak I had was maybe the best I have ever been served - a lovely cut and cooked perfectly. Just a great experience.

We met friends here before an event in Shepton Mallet and weren't disappointed. The atmosphere was great, the staff very friendly and helpful and food was fantastic. Along with the standard menu they have a specials menu which was excellent. All 4 of us were delighted with what we chose, the food was hot, fresh ingredients and one of the partners took the time to say hello and ask what we thought of our meals. Highly recommend.

Lovely little pub. Lovely atmosphere and gorgeous inside. Owner is very welcoming and talkative. Only came in for a drink but look forward to coming here again for some food.

Looking for somewhere to break our journey from Lyme Regis to the Midlands, and came across this inn that did breakfasts. Situated in a small village with some parking. Arrived at 10am and ordered their 'Big Bell' breakfast, which was tremendous. Well cooked, plenty of it. Friendly staff. Well worth the slight detour.

We had a last-minute visit here as the family members we visited were good enough to book two additionals for the table. The service was really great. 👌 The female who served is happy, helpful, and bubbly as well as attentive to our needs. The restaurant areas were clean, tidy, and welcoming with a cosy feel. However, the only downtown is the bar gets very busy and rowdy, so you have to have a meal with raised voices, and sometimes it can be hard to hear conversations with whom you're dining with again this cannot be helped but I tend as a preference to eat with a bit more stillness.

Proper pub, offering good food and beer. Friendly and attentive service, despite how busy they were, just prior to Christmas. Not easy to park right outside, but you can find a spot, just up the road, somewhere.

We stopped at this pub on a Sunday and enjoyed a roast dinner. Despite initially being informed that they were fully booked, the owner overheard and welcomed us inside, finding us a place to sit with a friendly local. We found the staff really friendly and helpful. The atmosphere inside was warm and welcoming with some live music. The food was delicious, a perfect roast dinner. We would definitely recommend this place.

Absolutely loved this little gem. Stayed in the loft room which is very quaint. Very comfortable bed and amazing shower. Veryan and Peter, the hosts, were fabulous, nothing was too much trouble. Delicious breakfast and the best scallops I've had in a long time. In a great location for sightseeing in the surrounding areas. I would definitely recommend staying here. 👌

Came into this lovely little village for a over night stay as in a coach driver. Was told this was the only place to eat and drink - the food was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend the steak and ale pie! The meat was sooooooo goood! The chips were perfect too, I had a brownie for dessert which melted in my mouth - they also pour a perfect Guinness, the owners greeted us very nicely, very kind people who made me feel welcome.

Such a lovely cafe with the most friendly staff. Dogs are allowed and the Olympics was being shown on the TV. Our food was alright, but there wasn’t a huge choice on the menu. It looks as though the weekends have a bigger variety for food if that’s what you’re planning to come in for.

Best coffee for miles, in a county where it’s tricky to find a decent flat white. Coffee is advertised as ‘Aussie style’. At least four types of hot chocolate, made properly. Dogs and kids welcomed. Nice staff. Outdoor and in-barn seating

Good location on the edge of Sherborne to let the kids run and play while you sit comfortably in the old farm yard with a cake and coffee or maybe a light lunch.
Rating: 5 / 5
I love this little place that has a larger personality especially around the holidays, nice food, nice helpful staff, and full of friendlyness. It gets bigger and louder during the holidays and summer months when it opens the play area and the maize maze. Lovely for families and children. I have to say it pleases my heart to see this place set up for children's outside play, they certainly keep you on your toes, even when you are not part of that group or party, it has a little downside life everywhere when is busy hearing can be an issue even when sat face to face, so if you're expecting a wee cuppa or coffee or lunch in peace or relative quite here, you honestly won't know until you get there. It's just lovely hearing the children and youths being a play outside and not attached to their phones or computers.
Rating: 5 / 5
An amazing maize, maze one of the best around. What a pity it's the final maze this year. A wonderful attraction for all the family with all the usual facilities including a superb little cafe. Play area for younger children and very reasonably priced. Staff extremely friendly and helpful adding to the experience. The maze is open all summer until early September so get in there quickly for a brilliant day out!
Rating: 5 / 5
Went with my sister ( a local ) and daughter and granddaughter. Food was really lovely. Highly reccomend the quiche. The play area is safe and really well laid out. If you are in the area it is well worth a visit. We live over an hour away but do make a beeline for Blackmarsh Farm when visiting. Staff are lovely too.
