Chew Kitchen in Bath and North East Somerset

The Sunday roast was delicious and the staff was very nice! Great options of wine, including Portuguese wine. Lovely place!

A wider range of good quality food than one might expect from a regular eatery. Service is excellent and friendly.

Brilliant place to stop before going to Bristol Airport. My mussels were perfectly cooked and generous for £10, my husbands cheeseburger was a big hit. It’s oddly located in a housing estate but don’t be put off, the food is great quality, friendly service and they even have mufflers on the ceiling so you can actually hear your companions, that attention to detail shows they really care. Well done.

Fantastic first experience today at The Chew Kitchen.

Have been coming here for a few years and love it. The food is always good and the staff are very professional, polite and accommodating. Visited today and had a great sandwich and coffee. The Sunday Roasts are always fab!

I have been visiting Chew Kitchen for years and have always loved their roasts, however the last roast I had was probably the best one yet! I had the duo of beef and pork with the stilton gravy and my husband had the duo with the red wine gravy and neither of us could fault it. Chew Kitchen definitely produce the best roast in the valley!

Delicious! Had a meal for 4 of us on a Saturday night, all the food including 3 cheese croquettes, fish and chips, monkfish, squid and the creme brulee were fantastic. Lovely atmosphere for breakfast and lunch too, plus a wide selection of options.

Came on Friday for our work’s Xmas meal - 16 people in total. Wanted to thank Morley and all his staff whom gave excellent service along with delicious food We all had a great evening

I have been a very frequent customer of chew kitchen in the past, having left a 5 star review 6 years ago and having visited many times in between. There is no denying this place does the best roast dinner in the valley, something that has brought us back time and time again. Although this frequency has reduced due to the costs of the roast dinners increasing over the years, we still enjoy coming here for a treat. The owners changed over earlier this year and this is the first time I have visited and had a roast whilst solely under the management and chef of the new owners. I am very pleased to say that the roast dinner is still just as delicious as it always has been and would still recommend anyone try this dinner as you won’t be disappointed. I absolutely love the way they cook their beef, which is complimented by the Stilton gravy. Also their red cabbage is some of the best I’ve tried and something I was really looking forward to. When my dinner came out the red cabbage provided to us was very sparse, only enough for one tablespoon each which wasn’t what we were used to on our very many previous visits, and so we asked for more, and for some more gravy. It was a bit of a surprise to see we were then charged £3.50 for the pleasure of a bit more red cabbage, and £2 for the gravy when we were given our bill. As mentioned I have been coming here years and this was never something that was in place before, nor were these extra charges verbally explained to us when we requested extra, or was there any written explanation on any menus that you would incur extra charges for this type of thing…which isn’t something I’ve ever had anywhere I’ve ever eaten out so I guess it’s not something you would expect. So to see them added to the bill does leave a bit of a sour taste to the experience, because £20 for a roast dinner is already on the more higher end. But as I have mentioned we do always thoroughly enjoy our roast here, as we did today. And we will return, but our visits won’t be frequent because it priced more for an occasional treat in my opinion. It would also be better if the extra charges were clearly written on the menus…or scrapped altogether because I don’t feel they warrant fair charges. If we were given a fair portion we wouldn’t have requested more so it’s not really fair to then expect to pay £3.50 more for something you’ve already paid for. I would like to note we did bring up the extra veg charge on our bill and this was reduced to £1.50 but I still don’t believe this was warranted.

First time at Chew Kitchen and had a really nice lunch of a massive sandwich each and a shared bowl of chips. A good menu with lots of choice of sandwiches, soup, salads and larger plates like fish and chips, vegetarian curry, ham and eggs etc. Nice looking cake at the counter and well priced coffee. Not too busy at noon on the Wednesday we went but we had pre booked just in case.

What a lovely find! Great staff, great food, lovely decor x

A newish venue , but welcoming staff. Very good tasty food provided by Morley. Swift service, sensible pricing - Chew Kitchen deserves to do well. Parking a bit restricted at lunchtime.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Need to book as very popular. Easy parking. Tiny bit noisy.

Really friendly lovely staff. We had the breakfast and eggs were cooked perfectly with nice bread. Worth a visit.

Has been a long time favourite of ours. I'm pleased to say that it's maintaining its standards under new management.

Just a tad too noisy for a Sunday lunch

What a brilliant place! Omg the breakfast here was so delicious, hot, and cooked to perfection. Oat cappuccino spot on too. Will come be back. Thank you 😊

Amazing breakfast 👏😀 including bubble n squeak. Excellent latte. Sat in garden at the back, lovely.

What a fabulous place for Sunday lunch! This was a birthday celebration, and the restaurant not only served the most beautifully cooked, generous portions of roast, but they were attentive, friendly and very efficient. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

What a treasure of a place! Superb food and great service. Good vegetarian options- the pan fried gnocchi was delightful. The meat eaters had the lamb which was very generous in size and cooked to perfection. For desserts, Panacotta and baked cheesecake- the best we’ve had. When we first turned up we didn’t know what to expect as the location wasn’t obvious, but aren’t the best gems a little tucked away! Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

On the day i went, very noisey.

If you love mussels then this is certainly a place for you!!..lovely little bistro in the middle of chewstoke, and a sun trap in the small garden. Highly recommend a visit 👍

We really do enjoy dining here at this pleasant and busy restaurant. The food is always excellent and the service is both friendly and efficient. We both look forward to dining on really good fresh fish offered as ‘specials’ on the menu. Today we were celebrating my Partner’s birthday, and had invited some close friends to join us for their first visit here. We had, wisely, made a table reservation and the restaurant was, as usual, very busy. We were very pleased with the location of our table, and the menus were promptly presented. I was charged with e responsibility of choosing the wine and chose the same as we have enjoyed previously; being the Lion Ridge South African Chenin Blanc. An excellent ‘all rounder’; dry with a light fruit flavour. A good choice as we all enjoyed it very much. My Partner: no starter, a main of ‘Cod with a herb crust’ with minestrone, and a dessert of ‘Victoria Sponge’ with a side of vanilla ice cream. For our guests: a husband and wife. To start he had ‘Pork Terrine’ with bread and butter, red onion chutney, baby gherkins and green leaves, a main of ‘Cheese burger’ and chips, and for dessert ‘Orange Cake’ with an orange sauce, and topped with a sliced strawberry and cream. For her: no starter, a main of ‘Salmon Salad’, and for dessert the ‘Passion Fruit Tart’, topped with raspberries and cream. I ordered the ‘Pork terrine’ to start, ‘Cod with a herb crust’ for my main, and Passion Fruit Tart’ for dessert. Coffees (and one tea) were taken. Everyone commended the food: it was all so good to eat. As I said this was the first time for our friends but they are moving soon as this place will be close to halfway between our two homes. Service was as usual very attentive and obliging. For example my Partner’s dessert wasn’t featured on the menu. The Victoria Sponge was on display for those popping-in for an afternoon tea. The request for this dessert with the addition of an serving of ice cream didn’t cause any issue at all, it was “of course” when asked. We have been to other restaurants where it would certain to have been “I’ll check” and/or “Sorry we have no pricing for that”. This was once again a superb dining experience with fine food, great service, and reasonable prices.

Best cafe around. Try the Chew breakfast 😋

Excellent service and delicious meal. Very friendly staff, restaurant and toilets hygienically clean

Been going to this establishment for a number of years and always had great service and food. Pleased to report that nothing has changed now that there are new owners. We had the Sunday Roast meal and it was fabulous. Everything was top quality and brilliantly cooked. Combined with friendly and welcoming service made the whole experience very enjoyable. Also really enjoyed a bottle of the "families" own Italian red wine which was superb. Will definitely be returning and continuing to support this great place....thoroughly recommend!

A hidden gem. Beautiful food, friendly service and very reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

A hidden gem, all the food was well presented and tasted delicious.

Exceptional service, really friendly staff and super yummy food. Thank you Chew Kitchen 😀

We came here for lunch as a party of 6 and despite being over an hour early the staff were happy to accommodate us. Food and service was excellent, the place was clean and we spent a good few hours here having drinks and a leisurely lunch. Atmosphere was so nice and reasonably priced drinks and food. The servers were amazing so friendly and efficient! We loved it here!

I visited the Chew Kitchen at the end of May 2023 for lunch whilst on a cycle ride with a friend. My friend had the goats cheese sandwich with vegetable for £7.25. It was a good size sandwich on nice fresh bread and my friend was pleased with his choice. For £15 I had the salmon steak with potatoes and what appeared to be a small amount of sautéed spinach. The salmon steak was just about an adequate size but a bit seared, and the potato portion was minuscule - two very small salad potatoes that were quartered. The whole meal could have fitted onto a tea saucer. I asked for either more potatoes or some bread as I still had a long way to ride. I was given a basket of fresh bread with butter which I was thankful for, but I still felt cheated - I will not be returning to the Chew Kitchen.

We were invited to the open evening by new owners morley and Amanda and it didn’t disappoint! Absolutely fantastic! From starter’s to specialist coffees 👍 the atmosphere is friendly laidback and very relaxing. The staff were efficient, professional and friendly.. so onto the food we had the MUSSELS that we’ve been waiting for since covid 🤣fantastic the best in the west by far!! The ribeye was cooked perfectly and the Cornish fish was fresh and cooked beautifully. I had 2 different cocktails which were perfectly made by Morley (thankyou)😉 The whole experience was enjoyable from start to finish and I definitely would recommend anyone wanting a relaxing evening out impress your family and friends with this lovely bistro/restaurant you won’t be disappointed 😊.

Well, it’s goodbye to Nicky and Rob, thanks for all the great meals in the past and best wishes for the future. Welcome to Amanda, Morley and recent arrival Teddy ! The transition has been seamless with Amanda and Morley being the perfect hosts. 10 of us had lunch on Sunday 28th and we all remarked how good it was, well done to everyone at the Chew. We are booked in for Friday evening, it’s great to the be going to the Chew Kitchen in the evening again, Jane and I are really looking forward to it. Best wishes to the new team, early indications suggest you have it all sorted. Andy & Jane

Lovely coffee, delicious rhubarb cake & friendly staff!

Nice food at reasonable price, good quick service

Very nice restaurant, food and service excellent and good value for money. You won't be disappointed.

Good wholesome food, lovely friendly staff, everyone enjoyed their meals, definitely recommend and will be back

Off the beaten track and immersed in a residential area, this is a local knowledge, very popular bistro/cafe you will be more than pleased you either discovered for yourself, or were kindly directed to. It has been described elsewhere as 'an unpretentious setting hidden away from view' Locally sourced food (even the herbs are homegrown outside the door) cooked on site with a menu that changes daily. Visitors to Chew Valley Lake, who, appreciate a calmer, more refined dining experience, will appreciate this venue, well away from the frenetic activity that often occurs closer to the water.

Quick service, very friendly happy staff, all 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed our mains, desserts & coffees 2 x fish, which was big, 2 x kedgeree, 1 x ham, 1 x pork, all plates were cleaned off food, 6 very happy 😊 ladies, and full. A couple of the ladies have been here a few times before, highly recommended by them, and will definitely be back.

After a good 90 minute walk around nearby Chew Valley Lake and Bishop Sutton we arrived here at 13:40, having reserved a table for 14:00 for lunch. We had visited before, back in June 2021 and did enjoy our meal on that occasion, so we had promised to ourselves we would revisit, and that turned out to be today after nearly 18 months. The fish served here (often as a ‘special’) is renowned for it’s quality, and thus we had decided that was what we really wanted. The problem was that the Mussels and the Haddock & Chips were both main plates. Then I had a great idea; we would order one plate of mussels to share as our starter (and substitute bread for the fries), and then have a main each of the Haddock and Chips; my partner concurred. On enquiry with the manager we were told “Of course you can”. I then ordered what turned out to be a really excellent wine: a South African Chenin Blanc called ‘Lion Ridge’. It had a very pale colour, giving an aroma of crisp green-apples, very zesty and superbly dry. My original medium glass soon disappeared, and the second one didn’t last long either. At £4.80 for the 375ml glass this was great value, and perfect for our fish starter and mains. My Partner was driving so didn’t join me. The mussels were simply superb and the cooking liquor (i.e. the sauce) was just sublime. There wasn’t enough bread to soak it all up, but soup spoons had been provided, so we ‘really shared’ this mussel pot. We could have asked for more bread (baked in an independent bakery in east Bristol), but we still had a main course to come. The portion of mussels was generous as a main, and ideal as a starter for two. As I sit and type this my mouth is watering with the thought of eating this dish now, especially the vibrantly tasty sauce. Our mains were also very good, the (thankfully deskinned) fish was ultra fresh and delicate and the batter was crispy and also delicate. The tartare sauce was perfect. The chips (thankfully not a huge portion) were chunky and had good quality. The peas were most satisfactory. It was an excellent main and very much enjoyed; plates were cleared and appetites were sated. Sadly, we had no room for a dessert. This is a most pleasant eatery to visit, with good carparking, warm inside, attractive presentation and most welcoming. The food was skilfully cooked and well presented. We enjoyed a good banter with the manager and her colleague who was also very pleasant and efficient. The restaurant was almost empty from the lunchtime rush, so our banter didn’t bother other clients. Exemplary service was provided from arrival to departure, and we did so-enjoy the whole experience. We will look forward to returning and we will not be leaving it another 20-odd months before doing that. I also expect I will be driving!!

Fabulous food, brilliant service. Celebratory family meal and despite large party, service was flawless. One of the best roasts out I’ve ever had, beef was beautiful. Thank you!

Fab fresh tasty food, served with a smile What's not to like. Can't wait to return. That's I'd we can get a table. Booking advisable. Thank you 😍

One of my favourite places to eat. Fresh, quality food. Just another level. I love the salads, but all dishes are done to a very high standard. Roasts are also exceptional & great value for money, for how much food you get. Nicki & Rob are a lovely pair. We enjoy our visits every time we come. Look forward to seeing the team soon

We visited just before lunchtime for drinks. The staff welcomed us very cheerfully. The place is dog friendly and our dog was treated to a biscuit. We were't rushed even though lunch was being started and people were coming in. It is tucked away but...

Very friendly service. Dog friendly too. Great little place tucked away behind the surgery.

Friendly staff who delivered the most fantastic roast. The beef and pork were superb accompanied by a lovely selection of veg. 100% will go again

the coffee was mediocre, the pain au chocolat was horribly dry and bread like. things like this are just inappropriate to mess up at a café. would not recommend, though the staff were nice.

I have eaten here on several occasions, the food and service are always excellent. It is my favourite place for Sunday lunch, I recommend the Pork in Stilton sauce.

Great coffe and cake stop for cyclists. Large groups ring ahead

We had a wedding party breakfast, which was delicious. The friendly staff went above and beyond.

Excellent breakfast today and a very pleasant restaurant with a nice outdoor area. Very friendly service. Not sure on prices as I did not pay but think it is reasonable. Definitely worth a visit if you can work out the opening times. We were a...

Very good breakfast. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

We always have a great meal when we come here. The food is homemade and delicious - we particularly love the salmon salad. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. It’s lovely to sit outside in the garden in warmer months.

Our first visit here for Sunday lunch, truly amazing! Advise booking as quite busy but definitely worth going. We met a friend here & enjoyed good service by friendly attentive staff, wonderfully presented food. Two of us had starters, Broccoli & Stilton soup which was...

What a wonderful place to have lunch and a catch up with your friend. Great atmosphere and divine dishes - can't wait to return for more deliciousness!

Brilliant cafe in Chew Valley. Parking, dogs allowed and catered for, good food and friendly service. Outside seating area. It's a shame they are now not cooking breakfast and opening hours have been cut down. Only open from Wednesday. I'm friends and i miss our breakfast catchup. Maybe when the Covid threat is under control thing's will go back to normal.

I regular visit this cafe. The coffee is good quality and the service is friendly. Also cakes. There was a change of management somewhere mid COVID, which was a big improvement. Lots of free parking. It is very popular as a lunch resto (but I...

Amazing place with amazing food.

Beautiful Christmas lunch today with friends and very friendly and helpful staff .

Roast dinners are amazing, very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere

I eat at Chew Kitchen at least once a month. The standards never ever drop, even when they are busy. Chicken caesar sandwich is a my personal favourite!

Nice place for a tea and a coffee

Chew Kitchen is a great restaurant for Sunday launches and for other occasions

Lucky Chew Stoke in a nutshell! Great coffee, delicious cakes, haven't had a full lunch but I expect it to be pretty good!.

Excellent food, service. Discovered by chance

The food was excellent, no complaints at all. What I would say is even though the back and front doors were open, it was still extremely hot and uncomfortable. Could you stretch to some fans perhaps?

Really welcoming and friendly service, where nothing is too much trouble. Food excellent , especially Sunday lunches and great value for money. Booking for lunch advisable and essential on Sundays.Well behaved dogs welcome too!

I visited the Chew Kitchen for Sunday lunch. I have been at least 10 times as part of a large group, and every time the food has been excellent. The roast pork with Stilton sauce is the best Sunday lunch I have ever eaten and...

Food was so so tasty well presented and the staff friendly. The location is great and everyone had space. Will definitely return

Cannot fault Chew Kitchen. Frequent lunchtime visitor in various group sizes and always outstanding food and service. Hidden gem!

Lovely lunch, all 6 of us enjoyed our time. Would be nice to have a choice of hot desert.

The approach of another weekend saw us, once again, head to lunch at a restaurant that we had not visited before. This restaurant currently only opens 5 days a week at lunchtimes only. This time the restaurant was located at Chew Stoke which sits in...

Ate lunch today and was unimpressed. We waited twenty minutes to get our order in, hardly a long wait but two tables which arrived after us were served before we were. It was fifty minutes after arrival that food appeared. The fish pie was a...

Great cake, lovely and friendly staff

The Roasts were excellent and service was just right.

Excellent meal couldn’t fault anything you can’t get any better

Best. Sunday. Roast. Ever. Sorry other local outlets, you're good but Chew Kitchen add another dimension. If I went and they said "all we've got left is the cauliflower cheese and the gravy?" I'd be like, fill this bucket, that's fine. Actually that reminds me... having left over gravy for breakfast today...💕

Had Sunday Lunch here before lockdown. Great food, could not fault. Service was second to none. We love eating here and cant wait to go back when we are in the same tier.

We ate lunch here, good choices on the menu. I tried the quiche of the day fabulous and rich. He puddings are great too. We are looking to return soon.

A super menu ... massive variety and everything healthy well presented and to my mind perfect and fresh. Please go .. but be sure to reserve. Staff are super helpful and efficient.

Nice staff and food well presented. Good for cakes and cuppas

Its great to have Chew Kitchen open again. Very friendly team members and lovely food. Pleasant afternoon well spent!

Lovely food, friendly accommodating staff. It looked like the building is quite new or freshly refurbished. Smart decor and nice garden area out the back. Will come back soon!

Great Sunday lunch with attentive friendly staff. No specific kid menu but all dishes can be served as children's portions and happy to swap roast potatoes for fries etc Homemade excellent food in quiet tranquil setting. Seats outside with umbrellas for those looking for covid...

Very friendly staff and at this awkward time are doing all they can to keep everyone Covid 19 free!

Lunch was amazing, very tasty. V friendly atmosphere. Many thanks to Rob & team. We will return! 🙂👍 xx

First time visit. Had the roast beef and it was amazing. The staff were so friendly and we will definitely be returning. Mike and Penny Proctor.

Brilliant food - everything seemed to be homemade and all delicious (really recommend the fish cakes or salmon salad). Good COVID measures in place too - felt very safe. We will be back!

My family have visited Chew Kitchen several times and have always enjoyed the food and service, but as I haven’t visited for a while my friend and I went along for lunch today. I truly feel that the cafe has been taken over by new...

We booked for lunch (bookings are essential).The restaurant is signed form the main road and there is sufficient parking.On arrival there is hand sanitiser available.The menu was printed on paper with the drinks listed overleaf.There were plenty of choices including a burger, 2 fish dishes, a quiche and an escalope. I tried the quiche, which was very tasty and well filled with vegetables and cheeseI was too full to try the puddings, but the rest of my party did and reported that there were very good (sticky toffee pudding, panna cotta and the trio - perfect if you cant make up your mind which one to pick).This is a place we are planning to visit again.

A lovely bistro which delivered on a tasty and imaginative menu. A family of 5 and everyone enjoyed their food. The smoked haddock kedgeree was delicious and filling. The ploughman’s was tasty. Children had fish finger sandwiches and a burger. Make sure you have an appetite when you go as the portions are generous.
