Police were called out to the unusual scene, which was caught on the hotel's CCTV, at 9.45pm after receiving several calls from members of the public.

The situation was brought under control by midnight and nobody was hurt.

Steven Jones, manager at the Phoenix Hotel said: 'It was unbelievable, we have never seen anything like it here before.

'The cows were all moving at quite a pace, and a few ran past on the pavement right next to the pub.

'It is lucky that it was not 10 or 15 minutes earlier, as a lot of people had just left and had been standing outside the pub.

'I think the cows ended up congregating at the rugby club in the end and made a bit of a mess from what I hear.'

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Constabulary added: 'We received several calls at about 9.45pm regarding cows in High Street, Chard.

'Road closures were put in place at junction with Fore Street and A30 as a precaution.

'It was estimated that about 85 cows had escaped.

'Officers remained at the scene until about midnight as they and members of the public rounded up the animals.'

This is the sickening scar left by Hollywood star Armie Hammer on his young lover after he branded her just millimeters away from her private parts. Using a sharp knife Hammer cut his first initial 'A' into her skin during a kinky sex game, which ex-lover Paige Lorenze insists got out of control. Seconds later the 6ft 5' inch screen idol - who has claimed he's '100% a cannibal' in vile Instagram messages to other women - then licked the blood from the wound. Lorenze shared the exclusive image with DailyMailTV as a stark warning to other women who might be seduced and manipulated by Hammer.

And Lorenze exposes Hammer as an out of control narcissistic sexual deviant, whose wild fantasies and BDSM fueled desires which she says could ‘seriously injure another woman.’ The blond beauty...
