The Sparkford Inn is ideal for stopping off at when en route on Somerset's great superhighway,the A303. Bypass the expanded polystyrene wrapped McDonalds at the A303 Sparkford services and head into the village to find this large roomy inn. Nothing to fault it really - as a restaurant. However if it is a pub with a selection of locals propping up the bar that you want then go elsewhere. On our visit on a damp Tuesday night we were the only people there, and as a result the atmosphere was somewhat lacking. Two beers on - Pedigree and Ringwood best and were good value - £2.25 for the Best, £3 for Pedigree (it is s Marstons pub after all). The beers were served a touch too cold and the Pedigree was nothing like what a decent pint of it used to taste like 20 odd years ago. It's a shame that village pubs need to turn themselves into roadside diners to survive, the good news is that at least this pub is still open. For now.
