The Bear & Swan is a rustic village pub in Somerset, with squint beams and rough stone walls and a menu built around locally sourced pub food. There's outdoor seating too, so on a warm day the kids have a bit of room while you settle in with a drink. It's the sort of easy, unfussy local that families tend to come back to, and the 4.4 rating across 844 reviews backs that up.
