The Parsons & Holms Welcome You
Now proudly run by two local families, the pub is rooted firmly in the land and the community around it. That connection to Somerset shapes everything we do, from the suppliers we choose to the welcome we offer.
Ham Hill is stunning in every season. In spring and summer, our outdoor spaces come alive with relaxed lunches, evening drinks and long, golden sunsets. When autumn and winter arrive, the pace softens. Open fires crackle, hot ciders and mulled wine warm the hands, and the pub becomes a cosy retreat after a blustery hill walk.
Simple, honest food & drink
Our menus and drinks change with the seasons, using locally sourced ingredients where possible from trusted Somerset suppliers including Bagnell Farm, Wakely’s of South Petherton, Fine Tuned Brewery and Harry’s Cider.
A bar worth settling in to
We’re incredibly proud to be recognised by Tripadvisor with a Certificate of Excellence and over 80 five-star reviews — a reflection of the wonderful people who walk through our doors and the team who look after them.
Muddy boots & dogs welcome
Dogs are welcome in the bar, and we’ve made sure they’re just as comfortable as their humans. You’ll find water troughs and a hose outside for muddy paws and wellies, hooks for leads on our outdoor tables, and dog biscuits at the bar.
Dog of the Week, on Facebook
At The Prince of Wales, we take our four-legged guests very seriously.
Each week over on our Facebook page, we’ll be choosing our “Dog of the Week” from the pups who visit us in the pub. Whether impeccably behaved, wonderfully scruffy, or simply impossible to ignore, we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled.
The lucky winner will receive a little Prince goodie bag, and a moment of well-deserved Facebook fame.
To qualify, dogs must be spotted enjoying the pub in person… so bring them along, settle in, and keep an eye on our Facebook page to see who’s been crowned.
