Hamper Sandwich Shop in Mendip

We decided to book a family birthday celebration meal at the White Hart, as most of my family were brought up in the area. We were not disappointed, we recieved a warm welcome on arrival, great choice of drinks, excellent food at below average prices and good portions. A great memorable time was had by all.

Excellent covid arrangements. Chocolate torte wow. Apple cake wow. Milkshake perfect. Strawberry of course.

Have driven past the Castle of Comfort many times over the years, but this was the first time we stopped for a meal. First impressions: characterful old Country pub with plenty of charm, very friendly greeting by the lady running the service. We both went for the Cheeseburger and chips, expecting the same service you get in a lot of places these days - a rather bland burger and some thin french fries, bought in frozen. Boy, we were mistaken! The side salad arrived first - on a seperate side plate. The burgers arrived - big really thick, presumably locally made burgers in a fresh huge bun, a wonderful plate of "proper" chips, not fries, perfectly cooked and a handsome amount of peas. The meal was cooked just right and absbolutely delicious. We had a good chat with the lady at the bar and she advised that it was essential to make bookings for both lunchtime and evening meals, as the place is usually full to capacity. We were lucky today, as we arrived towards the end of the lunchtime service. We will be back to experience their renown steak meals and perhaps a Sunday roast.

My fiancé and I came to Wells for the night and had booked at this lovely little restaurant. The staff Rita and Alice were very friendly and efficient. I had the king prawns for start and duck and honey for main. They were both absolutely delish! Highly recommended.

The food here is fantastic, lovely welcoming staff and a friendly atmosphere, highly recommend.
