The Coleridge Way

The Coleridge Way is a 36 mile walk taking you through the stunning Somerset country side. The route was inspired by Samuel Coleridge the poet and philosopher who lived in Nether Stowey where the Coleridge Way begins. The Valiant Soldier is situated half way along the route and is ideal for an over night stop and well deserved meal!

“Follow in the footsteps of the romantic poet”.

Had a really good meal here with friends. The menu spoilt us for choice with so many dishes that looked good. The service was very good and the bill was very reasonable. We will certainly be booking again soon.

Absolutely love this place, reminds me of home. Bring back sticky toffee pudding 😋. Great service. Great food. Good portions. Overall just a lovely place that me and my family go every time we come back to England. Kid friendly as well. Good old British pub with a nice inn.

Have visited the Valiant Soldier on various occasions for meals and drinks. It has an excellent menu with a good range to suite all tastes. With the food being well prepared and presented. There are 'Well kept' beers all served by friendly and polite members of staff, in a cosy setting. Personally I recomend the steak, stilton and caramelised onions Baguette.
