Set in a picturesque village, the latest addition to The Pony Group by Josh & Holly Eggleton, located in Chew Magna, Somerset. The project aims to complement the Eggleton's Pony restaurant and cookery school five minutes drive away and involves renovating The Pelican pub in two phases: opening as a pub for locals in November 2024, with subsequent plans for 10 bedrooms and guest experiences in 2025.

Summary
At the heart of a very picturesque village in the Mendips, this refurbed inn relaunched in November 2024 as a recent addition to the West Country empire of Josh & Holly Eggleton and Josh & Lottie Bryant. No reports as yet on its simple fare, which ranges from all-day breakfasts to burgers, ploughmans and steak.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
