The Helyar Arms dates back to the C15, possibly earlier, and its name was adopted after the death of the last of the East Coker Helyar family, Dorothy Heneage, in 1947. It was previously known as The New Inn and was owned by and mainly served the Coker Court Estate. The skittle alley is housed in an old building at the rear of the pub in the car park, which was converted from an old granary and stables in 1934.
With a large sunny garden to sit in during the summer months and a car park that can accommodate over 30 cars, we think The Helyar Arms is well worth a visit.
Our comfortable and homely rooms at The Helyar Arms all have en-suite shower rooms, great facilities and take their names from local places.
Using local farmers and suppliers where-ever possible, we take great pride in offering a menu of both pub favourites and fine dining dishes.
