Named after a family of local landowners, The Freke Arms was built in the early 1800's on the instructions of (then known) Henry Freke to entice the farm workers over from the nearby Quaker village of Stanton Fitzwarren.

Bought by Arkell's in 1892 and altered to it's present state in 1966, it still retains much of it's character of pubs of that era, one of it's main attractions with customers of all ages. Traditional food and a warm, friendly welcome are two more of the trademarks of this comfortable and genuinely unspoilt pub.

Food is available lunchtime and evenings, 7 days a week. We offer a wide range of traditional foods including homemade dishes using locally sourced produce, together with Vegetarian options on our main Menu.

A choice of daily chef's specials is available on our specials board. See our web site for the full menu choice.

On Sunday lunchtime, a choice of our roasts (beef, port, lamb or chicken) is available together with 2 vegetarian options.

The large dining area can seat up to 80 people and the use of our patio area is available during the summer months.

Disabled access and toilet facilities are available.

We also cater for all occasions with buffets and special menus of your choice
