Introduction

There has been a pub at Windmill Hill for around 200 years. The owners, Chris and Janet Slow, are celebrating their 12th year and in that time have built up a reputation for very good food and drink in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The pub is run in a relaxed, informal manner allowing you to enjoy a drink, some food or celebrate a special occasion in the Barn , a seperate venue behind the Square and Compass.

The Barn, in the generous garden grounds behind the pub, offers the perfect venue for weddings, conferences and parties set in beautiful Somerset countryside. Large gardens, seating and modern facilities make the Barn suitable for all manner of occasions.

Situated between Taunton and Ilminster,
and within easy reach of both, the Square
and Compass is set in it's own large
grounds. Overlooking the Blackdown Hills
it is surrounded by rolling fields and
beautiful countyside. The Blackdown Hills
is designated an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty.

The pub is a well-known destination for those
seeking home cooked food and employs fully
qualified chefs with an emphasis on quality in
a very relaxed atmosphere. The interior
features wooden ceiling beams and heavy
hand-made wooden furniture. In the winter
there is always a roaring log fire.

The Barn Venue

In addition to the pub itself, the Barn offers a purpose built venue for weddings, conferences, music and parties. The Barn has a civil licence for weddings and a fully licensed bar, modern toilets and large dance area. The professional music & sound system increases it's appeal and scope for all other types of gathering.
