"Today I held a baby shower cream tea at Union street for my friend, we held it at US because of our long standing relationship with our family. We felt is was a trustworthy and reliable place that would give the best possible experience to our soon to be baby mumma. Unfortunately this hasn’t turned out to be the case. I spoke with you/your staff 4 times prior to today regarding all of the arrangements and at no point was I told of any cancellation policy or terms of use of your services nor did I sign anything. I called up on the day when I was informed that 3 of the 20 people who had RSVP to the event could no longer attend. At that point I was thanked for letting US know and that was that. I did this out of common courtesy. Everyone paid for themselves as they left and the Mum to be was the last to leave (understandably as she was thanking everyone for coming) when she went to pay for her cream tea she was also charged for the 3 cream tea’s that we informed you were no longer needed earlier on in the day. I have tried to talk to the manager with regards to the situation and have not been met with the customer service that my family is used to and would expect from such an establishment. We are all extremely shocked by the situation and cannot get out heads around it. If you had previously informed us of the t&c’s we would understand and you/your staff had plenty of opportunity to let me know that i would still need to pay for the cream tea’s in which case I would have gladly done so and asked for them to be boxed up ready for us to take home. If we were having to still pay for the 3 that were no longer coming, why did we not have them at our table for us to enjoy? Or given to us as we left to take for the 3 guests that couldn't come seeing as it was already made up? As I was told by the manager that this food had already been made up, hence having to pay £113 extra! I am saddened that this has happened as we have never experienced anything like this at US before. Having spoken to the manager I was made to feel like this is my fault as I didn't give 24 hour notice and never received an apology for the lack of communication and vital information missed from the staff at US, and this negligence from the staff has cost us £113, which would have been avoided if staff had made me aware of their 24 hour rule. We were having a lovely time until this happened and it's put a real dampener on my friends special day. This would have been a completely different review if this situation was handled better."

"My husband and I went to the halfway on our way home as we thought it was a dog friendly pub. We have 2 dogs, one confident and rarely barks, and the other one who is very nervous, but we have been working with her to build her confidence. Our dog had been doing really well at The Pound in Aller and the Prince Alfred at Burrowbridge, so we wanted to widen her experience. We chose the Halfway House at Langport, as we saw on line, it was dog friendly. Sadly as my dog, although I was using training techniques to try to calm her, when a couple came to sit near us, our nervous dog, was more nervous. The couple were lovely and continued to talk to us while we calmed our dog, understanding she was scared. Sadly the bar staff spoke to us, and said, your dog is barking, people are eating. I could not do more than I was to mange the training, so told the bar person, we would finish our drinks and leave. He said, it wasn’t him, it was everyone else. This was not very helpful. The people we were taking to said they often have evenings when they have lots of dogs and they can become barky and hoped they would see us again. We will not be going back again, some pubs are child friendly and you expect some noise from children, I thought a dog friendly pub would understand some noise from dogs, especially those who the owner is trying to help increase their confidence. We understand the establishment can decide who they want in their business. I thought we were going to be in a pub who understood nervous dogs, but this was not the case. We now understand the owners want to allow dogs, not not nervous dogs. This is a lovely pub, but only wants quiet dogs."
