Bridge Cottage Tearoom in West Somerset

Always a lovely place for coffee and cake, a lunch or even Sunday lunch. Very friendly and welcoming.

what a lovely pre xmas lunch today. it was great hot and served with great service.lived the red cabbage. 2nd year visiting .

Friendly service, lovely location and excellent food. Would go again.

We tried on the back of the reviews their cream tea and they nailed it. Local fresh clotted cream and jam, freshly baked scones that were very good, a very pleasant welcome and a fresh tea brew. Coffee went down well aswell. A huge recommend they do open relatively late at 11.30 but are very accommodating to early arrivals . They will let you sit in the garden if you are a few minutes early whilst they open. There is a Brucey bonus, the cakes!

Great location,very good food,great service from the girls who work very hard.

Fantastic tea room - great food and charming service

A wonderful cream tea! The vegetarian sandwiches were lovely and the cakes were delicious!! There were so many we took some home with us.

Fantastic little tea room. Savoury or sweet. Good quality food and a lovely service.

Had a lovely meal at the tea rooms. Very friendly staff. Would certainly recommend it, we will go back again

Lovely location and food, friendly staff. Recommend stopping in for tea and cake when visiting Exmoor

Lovely food with quality ingredients and nice flavours. Whoever owns this can certainly bake, both savoury and sweet! And a good range of teas and coffees, with beers and wines as well.

Absolutely delicious cream tea. Super customer service too! Will definitely be coming back.

Saviour of the village . Very nice experience. Long walk and was only place open, the pub it seems is no longer a real pub.

If it wasn’t for this little gem, there would be no life in the lovely village. The locals were super friendly, the staff were so helpful, the views are to die for, the local beers will cause you to have one too many and the home made cakes... oh my god! They are like the size of a human head. I highly recommend the treacle tart!!!!

Visited for cake, tea and coffee. Cakes were good although disappointing the lemon meringue had sold out. No latte coffee and their milky coffee was undrinkable so have tea!

Lovely tearooms with good outside seating in a quiet village. Although we did not venture indoors it was popular too. Food not cheap but very tasty and we'll presented.

More than cream teas. Beer and lunch, too. Lovely garden or inside tables.

We stopped off here on our way to Porlock. The service was good and the food was excellent. The staff were all very friendly and the menu had something for everyone. It is worth checking the daily specials! I would certainly visit here again when we are in the area.

Wonderful tea rooms that serve amazing meals or cakes. Only open Thursday to Sunday lunch and Friday/Saturday evenings. There are lots of outside tables in the pretty garden Overlooking the village and tables inside for rainy days. Do book early though as this place gets very busy in the summer. The food is really good quality and well worth a visit.

We were only able to visit once as they were only open at the end of our stay in Winsford but will certainly return in the future. There was a variety of cakes and snacks which all looked very tempting and the treacle tart with clotted cream we chose was delicious. The waitress was very helpful, polite and friendly. Would certainly recommend a visit, especially for afternoon tea.

Lovely bacon sandwich sat outside in the garden next to the river . With great views of the beutiful village with thatched roofs and surrounding hills. Nice coffee friendly welcome with Covid-19 restrictions applied.

Our Second visit and we really love this tearoom. Can always get a table outside in the beautiful garden. We were a family of 5. Staff are so attentive and friendly even let us use their phone as we couldn’t get reception on our mobiles for a lift home. We had the Devon cream tea and the scones were perfectly fresh and delicious. Will definitely return and notice they also do evening meals and alcoholic drinks so will be coming here for drinks and nibbles on our next visit

Sunday lunch was excellent and the sweets were delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. Need to pre-book as it is a very busy tearoom.

We were able to visit The Tearoom today for the first time in a very long period due to the recent restrictions.We are delighted to report that it is still an excellent place to visit - we had delicious 'Rich and Reviving' coffee and they still serve the best Bread pudding ever!!The staff were friendly and efficient.Overall highly recommended.

Great service good food served by busy staff with great humour

Brilliant and very tasty homemade produce combined with great service.

What a gem! Couldn't fault it. Staff couldn't be more helpful. Food was very fresh and delicious and we were served very promptly. A lovely setting. We will return!

This is in a delightful setting with a garden next to a stream. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The delicious food is all made on the premises to a very high standard. I especially love the treacle tart with clotted cream.

As a treat we visited the tea room in the hope of getting a cream tea and sandwich. The delay in the heat to order food was the only annoying factor as the staff were not well organised but c-19 does not help matters so it was not entirely their fault.The food and utter pleasantness of the staff made up for the delays but some other visitors found the queue, i.e. standing in the heat, a bit much. It was also the fault of other visitors who made a meal (excuse the pun) of their order instead of being succinct.Loved the cream tea and sandwich, friendly to dogs and as always, a welcome treat.

Pleasant atmosphere and food. Great place to visit

Absolutely brilliant , lovely setting , service and cream teas are excellent

Stayed in Winsford whit week and can 100% recommend this as the place to eat and drink every timeOwners and staff so welcoming and obliging.... And range of food and drinks to suit all tastes and budgets Thanks for making our first break since covid started as a family so more enjoyable

Great menu and good service. Enjoy the garden.

Lovely coffee and walnut cake and coffee. Pleasant service.

Very friendly place with excellent cakes, light lunches and drinks. We went twice.

Today I had a really delicious Roast Beef lunch at this beautiful tearoom. The beef was so tender accompanied by a good selection of fresh vegetables. The staff are very attentive and friendly too.

Stopped in Winford to look round this picturesque village and visit the church. Unfortunately the church was closed due to Covid-19, but we were lucky enough to find the Bridge Cottage Tearoom instead! Very pleasant staff and good Covid-19 precautions which as we are elderly made us feel very safe. The immaculate toilet was a lovely surprise!! The toasted panini we had was very tasty and came with a generous salad on the side and a pot of hot water was provided to top up the teapot, which is always nice to see. We would certainly go there again.

The Bridge Cottage Tearooms is in the beautiful location of Winsford and offers indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are very welcoming and showed us to our bench styled table where the menus were waiting. Our group of five chose their beverages of tea and coffee plus a portion of Victoria sponge. My green tea was delicious and was served in a china and saucer which I'm sure added to the flavour. My wife and I agreed to share the sponge slice however, it was so light and the real double layer cream enjoyable, I wish that we ordered one each! I definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Stopped for cream tea. Beautiful scones. Fantastic service. Sympathetic to current COVID requirements. Highly recommended

A really lovely café with a pretty garden, lots of seating and in a lovely position. Dogs welcome in the garden. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the food is delicious thank you.

We stumbled across Bridge Cottage Tea Rooms yesterday and oh how we wish we had found them sooner. Fantastic service by the young man and young ladies - so helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We only ordered sandwiches and a ploughman’s but the food was superb and much of it homemade. We look forward to returning many more times. Thank you all.

Was busy because it's very popular,and very popular because it's Very good. Enjoy.

Great food, absolutely amazing welcoming s8

Was in Winsford on a family gathering. Decided to book Sunday Lunch locally. We had to pre-order the meat but that's was no bother. We all enjoyed our meals immensely including the vegetarion choice. The service was also good and the owners very hospitable. Was busy when we arrived which tells you of its popularity.

Booked in advanced and enjoyed lovely roasts served with all the traditional accompaniments and vegetables. Desserts not pre-ordered, but once seen, everyone chose a favourite from the wide range - all to die for; the diet starts tomorrow. Thank you Teresa and team for the warm welcome and efficient service. A great finale to our Exmoor trip.

Been here a few times. All of which were disappointing. We were told outright on a couple of occasions that they weren’t doing hot food or sandwich’s because they were busy! There were 3 other tables occupied along with ours. When we ordered 2 cream teas, 1 to share between each couple, we waited 45 minutes! To then be brought 1 small pot of tea, even though we had ordered 2 separate cream teas. When querying we were told that was how they do it, and if we wanted extra cups or plates so we could share the scones then we would have to make a donation for the extra washing up! Disgraceful customer service

Great location , food & service

Tea rooms are really friendly with extremely hospitable staff. Great selection of food and cakes as well as a variety of hot and cold drinks. We were made to feel very welcome

Called in for lunch and we were made very welcome. Lovely position in centre of village with parking nearby. Plenty of outside seating as well as inside.Good selection of dishes on offer. We just shared a lovely local ham and mustard sandwich and salad plus pot of tea. All very good and made an enjoyable break from touring round the area. Came here many years ago and still just as good if not better.

Only had coffee and cake which was lovely and sat in the garden. Don’t expect your Costa type coffees but proper nice tea and coffee, sandwiches and more and now it is licensed.

What lovely food they serve. Good choice of menu and first class service.

Plenty of outside tables and chairs - just need the weather!However, plenty of seating indoors and a good range of food. A favourite is the cream tea with lovely scones plain or fruit with supplies of cream and jam, washed down with cups of tea. Plenty of variety. Also, there's lots of cakes to choose from - so tempting!You can buy a number of items also.Well worth a visit to this quaint village with its thatched cottages and foord.

Best cake, best service, very nice garden to sit with much harmony.

Nice relaxed cups of tea and cakes. Perfect sunlit setting and not too far from home in Minehead. Friendly service. Dot & Gordon Niccolls

This is a lovely tearoom in the heart of Exmoor. Always a warm and friendly greeting, excellent coffee and simply the BEST bread pudding you can get. Highly recommended.

Really good food and a good place to eat

Stopped on our way back from a walk on the moors Lovely tea room , varied menu, great staff very attentive and the variety of cakes were excellant. Forget the calories

Long wait, how long does it take to cook breakfast? The owners obviously do not put customer service high on the list of priorities. Just another tourist passing through!!. It was not busy. 45 minutes to cook breakfast, we had finished our coffee. I like my coffee with my food11

Very good nice teacake. Tea in China cups. spotless toilets. Will come again next year

Bridge cottage, tea rooms, WINSFORD. It must be one of the best life savers there is on the moors, Here they hit the mark, If your interested in fantastic food that is! Cheers.

After a days rambling, what a perfect way to end with a cream tea. Friendly service and excellent food and a lovely cuppa.

I can’t believe I live so close and have never visited here before. What a gem. We had high tea. Wow. Everything was fabulous. The owners couldn’t have made us feel more welcome. We will certainly be going back.

Superb tea room with lovely garden in beautiful village, just go there!

Nicely decorated and laid out cafe with a very nice garden with plenty of seating and tables. A good selection of cakes and light lunches.

Good service and choice on menu, realistic price.

Took my friend out for drive to show her bit of countryside and stoop off for lunch and sat in the garden . We ordered ham salad it was absolutely lovely proper gammon ham and they put beetroot in separate pot which was lovelysave the juices running over the rest of salad.

Had the mackerel salad, lovely big portions, especially the cakes, service excellent.

Lovely location, very clean and gluten free home made scones available! Lovely owner too!

Lovely family lunch, lots of choice on the menu, I opted for the ploughman’s which was delicious, thickly cut ham and lovely crusty bread with all the accompaniments. Service is always good here and the price very reasonable for tasty homemade food. A real treat.

I just spent a few days staying with family in a friends house in Winsford - on the last day we went here for breakfast and wished we had on the first day - it was great - so we came back for cream tea later. Super location, really nice people and delicious food!

Beautiful setting, lovely garden, Very polite staff to top it off the food was amazing. Highly recommend visiting. Thank you for a fabulous lunch.

Just what you and expect and more in a quaint village of pedestrian humped backed bridge, Ford's and thatched cottages.

We stopped here when we saw the little splash ford just outside the Tearooms.

Great place for a cream tea. Dog friendly

If you are touring, walking or just out and about and you happen to be in this area this is a must. The food is wonderful, the deserts, the cakes are just what you need to have a excuse to walk off those few calories

We have visited this tearoom on several occasions for coffee and cake whilst out cycling . always good service and fantastic homemade cakes .

Very pleasant , pleasant and friendly staff, clean, typically English country garden tea room. Recommended

The lunch we had with a pot of tea was quite good but my goodness I kid you not I stood in a queue with four people in front of me for 45 mins yes 45 mins before I could order. When asked by someone in front of me if they could please take her order as she was tired of standing and her friends were sitting outside they refused and said they could only do one customer at a time i.e. take order and cook!!!! And to top it all once ordered there was a 30 minutes wait for first the pot of tea and then more wait for our food.

This is by far the best on Exmoor. The welcome is outstanding the food is wonderful and the prices are reasonable I can't praise Roy and Teresa enough we will be VERY upset if they ever leave.

Roy & Teresa are great hosts in a beautiful spot. Food is fantastic and just keeps coming

beautiful location at the heard of the village - freshly made scones cream and jam ( you are in Devon, cream 1st then the jam!! ) Ample pot of tea for two - we loved it

Lovely cream tea in the garden next to the river.

Visited the Tearoom many times, esp now we're almost local, not 'just' visitors! The food is always delicious, whether a savory dish or mountain-high lemon meringue pie! Ans staff are unfailingly courteous and welcoming - even when, as they often arem th place is packed!;

Great place to eat all home made food

Found the owners very friendly and accommodating.

We had stopped here before, at the beginning of the season and it was empty, the whole season ahead of them. On this visit, although towards the middle of October, the sunshine was out and the tea rooms were packed. A late bonus. The staff are friendly although working flat out and the food was tasty and decent quality. What tops this off is that the tea rooms are at a confluence of country roads, one which is crossed by a weir. Quintessentially the perfect location.

Homemade cakes were really good and the owners are very friendly. Such a contrast to the pub opposite.

We popped in here for a very late lunch. The brocolli and stilton soup was just lovely.

Wonderful tea room right in the heart of the village. Fantastic selection of homemade cakes and cream teas all served with a smile

Stop here whilst we were driving around Exmoor. Lovely quaint place. Staff very good and the home made cakes are out of this world.

Fantastic choice of homemade cakes and puddings amongst other things. We tried and recommend the fresh cream Victoria sponge and lemon meringue pie. All homemade. Friendly staff. Pretty village setting.

Lovely setting and tea room. Food was amazing and reasonably priced.

15 of us came to this tearoom today..... 13 residents and 2 supporters from Broadlands Residential Care Home in Minehead. The service was exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble. Our residents thoroughly enjoyed the delicious home-made cakes and cream teas. Everything was served with a genuine smile and we were able to sit outside in the beautiful garden in sunshine. A lovely afternoon enjoyed by all....thank you.

After a very early start and 4 hour drive down from London, we decided to treat ourselves to breakfast. Large breakfast included bacon x 2, sausage x 2, beans and black pudding (to replace eggs) plus toast x 2. Washed down with a cup of tea. So nice we booked for Sunday roast, which was large slices of beef, large Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrot, cabbage and suede. You have to book for roast dinners, but normal menu is available if you turn up on spec. Puddings were enormous and the cherry cheese cake to die for.

Stopped for an excellent cream tea, but could see others were voicing the enjoyment of their meals. Some luscious looking cakes

Though it was an extremely sunny and warm day, and having walked over Bye Common we needed to rest and eat. Three adults and two children in our party and chose to sit outside under the shad of a table parasol. The menu was extensive, four chose Ploughmans, including Ham or Cheese and our youngest member Chips, Sausage and Beans. Drinks were soon served and enjoyed, second glasses chosen. The meals soon arrived, and were very well presented, easy and good portions. We all enjoyed our food, the service from the waiting staff was very pleasant and not at all intrusive. This place is a credit to the owners, and I must also mention the beautiful setting, we will be back.

We were told about this tearoom by the proprietors after meeting them on a recent holiday. We decided to visit for lunch while staying in the area. Our lunch at the tearoom was delicious and the cakes are to die for. Although we don't have a dog they are allowed in the garden. We can't wait to visit again next time we're in the area.

I visited here for lunch with my dog.

We were staying in the village of Winsford and this lovely tearoom was in the centre of the village, inside and outside seating and dogs were most welcome. Food homemade and was well presented. Staff very pleasant and attentive.

I first visited this tea room with my parents when I was a child.... 42 years later it is still the best cream tea available.... we come here every time we visit Exmoor... four or five times a year.... it has altered little over the years... you can now get a wider range of foods.... it used to be cream tea and sandwiches as I remember.... now there is a full range of good home cooked food and ALL their cake is to die for.... I love coming here and it's always a favourite part of any Exmoor trip for all my family and the many friends we've introduced to it over the years....
