Introduction
The Dolphin is traditional pub situated in the middle of the Old Market town of Ilminster in Somerset. Positioned next door to one of the finest looking Parish Churches in the Country, with a short trip of 5 miles to Chard, 12 miles to Taunton and 10 minutes drive from the A303 the main links to the West Country.
With a consistent wet led trade of about 80%, the Dolphin offers a cosy and warm feel for diners in the small but manageable Restaurant area.
