The Holywell Inn dates back before 17th century but it is reputed that a pub, maybe parts of the present building, had stood on the site since the 14th Century. There is certainly still evidence of the original straw thatched roof built on old cobb (mud&straw) walls with old oak beams.

The Holywell Inn can be found in the village of Holywell Lake 3 miles South of Wellington in Somerset, near the border of Devon and less than a mile from the A38 at Beambridge.

We have an ideal position for country walks, so you may wish to either drive and use us as a base for your walking, or on a pleasant day maybe try a lovely walk from Wellington.

When you step into The Holywell you will be greeted by our new bar area built to incorporate an old canal narrow boat as the bar counter. Here you may order drinks or food or, if you prefer, you can continue through the old doorway into the dining areas for your meal.

The main dining room has heavy oak beams, an open fireplace and country pictures on the walls.

Third year running

The Holywell is a free-house, and for those who enjoy good ale, there are well kept Westcountry beers from local brewers on hand-pump, in addition to guest beers from around the UK. We have a varied fare of home-made food from locally sourced produce.

For Lunchtime our Lunch Menu has a wide range of food from baguettes to tasty, hot, home-prepared meals. Our Evening Menu has a much larger range of hot meals plus we always have a few chef's specials on the blackboard. Also check out out very popular Steak Nightevery Thursday when we offer best steaks at good prices.

For Sunday lunch we have our much acclaimed carvery where there is a choice of three roasts, normally Beef, Pork and Turkey along with a huge range of roasted/boiled vegetables.

Main Dining Area

There is also our famous range of vegetables in sauces these are much liked by vegetarians but why not try some with your roast... many do.

We have a large garden to the rear, with plenty of tables, where nice cool drinks and food can be served in the summer months.

There is ample car parking for customers.

Families

Unfortunately, due to misbehaved and noisy children in the past, we no longer allow families with children under 5 years old.
Also families with children under 16 are not allowed to stay in the bar or main dining room. We are sorry but have had to take this action after many other customer complaints.

Well behaved dogs are welcome in the main bar only. We cannot accept dogs into the dining areas whilst food is being served.
