Holm Restaurant in South Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Outstanding food and absolutely outstanding service. My partner was heavily pregnant for our visit, we ordered the taster menu and the chef kindly offered to amend the menu to suit her requirements. The staff gave us numerous alternatives and made my partner feel very special. The food was so good, it sent her into labour.

We were blown away by the quality for the food, setting and comfort of the rooms for our recent stay at Holm Somerset. Every member of the team were knowledgeable and friendly and we enjoyed attentive service throughout our stay. Particular thanks to Nicolas (Head Chef/ proprietor) and Shaun (General manager) Would definitely recommend and cant wait to return !

We had a 2 night stay and Tasting menu on 1st night. Wow! The rooms are comfortable and the Studio lounge for guests nice to sit and chill out. The food with accompanying drink selection delicious , both the vegetarian and meat / fish version. Breakfast was also tasty with a good choice, set us up for the day especially with the cinnamon brioche roll to take away for later 😊 . Thanks Matt for looking after us and Nick and his team for the amazing food.

Ordered the tasting menu - exceptionally delicious from start to finish. Fantastic flavours and presentation. Lovely service. We are frequently eating out in acclaimed places - this was the best food we have tasted in quite a while.

First off the food was amazing, well presented in a timely way and full of flavour, could not fault. As for our service by a tall ginger haired guy I felt from the time we arrived to when we were pretty much ushered out,looked down on as if we were not good enough to be there. We had popped in for a causal lunch not a special occasion as he stated we must have. Like I’ve stated before the food was great and I had dessert which I never do,asked if we wanted anything else after the meal we stated we didn’t and were happy just chatting and finishing our wine when the bill turned up ( which we did not ask for) shortly followed by the card machine ( funny as the table by the side of us had arrived and finished way before us did not have this poor service) as I passed him my card he asked if it was going to be all on one card !( just two of us so as if I was going to split the bill with my OAP mother) This left me feeling not only embarrassed but really uncomfortable as we left.

The food was excellent. A bit surprised when offered cauliflower cheese it came as an extra. The roast potatoes where excellent too with a small amount of cabbage. The cauliflower should, in my opinion, been part of the roast beef. No atmosphere, when we arrived we just hung around until finally someone came to take us to our table. The bread was bought to the table being told it was soda bread, no way, just delicious brown bread. The decor could do with a facelift too. Slightly disappointing after the recommendation but the food was good.

Now this a really great place! Just done a 2 dinner, 2 night bundle and HOLM delivers a very good experience. The expert staff were a big part of this. Both the Chef's tasting menu & breakfast were top notch. The former waaay better experience than at L'Enclume, where the 5+ hour timing might suit the kitchen, but NOT these diners. HOLM got it just right with great dishes (nod to trout & blood orange) plus the tempo was spot on. To avoid this looking like a snow job, the loft room was lovely, but the 40+ steps less so, even the dog got vertigo. We will be back as it is really warm & welcoming place to dine & stay.

Great food. Explanations of each course on the Chef’s (tasting) Menu by the waiting staff were always a little rushed and not very clear. Not changing cutlery between courses was a little odd, so had to ask for clean cutlery. Staff could’ve been a little more attentive with drinks. Had to find a waitress to ask for drinks menu after finishing my drink 15 mins before, then had to ask another waiter 10 mins later to order a drink. Also they took my wife’s cocktail away before she had finished! The temperature of the room was incredibly hot - to the point where the lady next to us fainted! Worth saying though that these were all just picky comments, and definitely didn’t spoil what was a very lovely meal. Some very minor improvements and this would be 5/5 every time.

We’ve been lucky enough to eat In some lovely restaurants recently but we think this was the best food we’ve had. Our meals were exceptional. The atmosphere felt casual, loved the contemporary decor. The staff are so nice too and made our stay very pleasant. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend it.

Visited whilst travelling home from Cornwall. Only needed a light bite but my wife swayed me into ordering the beef with a couple of sides. What we had was perfect. Accurately cooked beef, a refreshing beetroot salad and a take on a panisse with westcombe cheddar instead of a potato dish. Our next visit will be to stay and try the chefs menu. Well done everyone involved.

We had the taster menu the food was divine especially the potato veloute. Little gem in an unexpected place. Enjoyed a good selection out cocktails. Decor and location was unique, a little bit of London in the countryside.

Great people, amazing food, stunning setting. 5*. We had two meat-eaters and one vegan; they gave me (the vegan eater) a bespoke menu with two delicious-sounding options each for starter and main, and they accommodated side-sharing by putting non-vegan things separately (the pink fir potatoes were incredible!) Can't ask for more. And most importantly, the vegan options had as much love, care and flavour as the other dishes. Huge thanks team - we'll be back!

I loved this place. We were fortunate to be able to spend a night in one of the 7 new bedrooms at Holm. The restaurant and rooms ache urban, Skandi cool, whilst being in the middle of a lovely village in Somerset Our room was beautifully designed and very comfortable, as was the whole property. The bed was super comfy, the shower was lovely and there was even a bath in the room if you are not already Zen enough. There is a mini bar in the room as well as tea and coffee making facilities with gorgeous freshly made cookies to great you on arrival. The separate snug, which hotel guests can use with an honesty bar, is a great touch. We also ate here and the restaurant is first class, every dish from the chefs menu in the evening and breakfast the following morning was fresh, full of flavour and delicious. The staff here are great. everyone that we met during our stay were so friendly and welcoming. You can tell that they love working here and that they are all invested in making this relatively new establishment the best that it can be. Special mention must go to Barry who met us when we arrived and was always on hand to help and make our stay extra special. Nothing was too much bother for him. He is truly an asset to this place. Thank you to everyone for a fab time, we will definitely be back.

My stay at Holm for my 40th birthday with my family was a firm highlight of 2023. I loved everything about it: the beautiful rooms overlooking the High Street and church, the bed linen, the bath, the delicious food, the service/staff and the calm energy of the dining room. Nicholas and Matt were most accommodating hosts and I'm fairly sure the beetroot starter on the feasting menu is one of the loveliest things I've eaten all year. I can be a critical and difficult guest after years of feeling ripped off by various high-profile hotels and/or restaurants, but I simply do not have one criticism of Holm and can safely say it is the best value for money (as far as hospitality goes) in memory. I hope to return very soon.

I would ignore M/S Happinness review, only ever posted one review what do they know? The meal we had here was great, £59 tasting menu was amazing value, served by lovely friendly staff in a buzzy dining room. We slept upstairs in one of the newly appointed rooms which was lovely. Will definitely return….. only 4 stars as food could have been hotter.

It’s taken a long time for us to find a date to get to Holm but oh my, it was worth the wait. The food, the wine, the service, all impeccable. Almost regret leaving it for so long. it was great value for the quality of the food and drink. We had a discount code from the newsletter which made this incredible value for money. I would happily have paid the full price (and more) for the food we ate and the drinks we drank. The Twinkle cocktail was a perfect aperitif.

Limited lunch menu might have been perfect on another day but today was restrictive. Portions were small and value was very poor for the price asked. The stripped interior had little ambiance and the seating must have come from a Junior school, being uncomfortable for adults. We wanted to support local restaurant businesses but local pubs offer a far better experience.

Beautiful setting, amazing food. Everything we had was fantastic. Beef and blue cheese croquettes, ricotta agnolotti, sea bass with sides of hispi cabbage and potatoes followed by apple choux and chocolate cremate. All amazing and packed with flavour. Top spot for lunch or dinner. Highly recommended. Passionate chefs really shines through.

Such a great spot, we've been 3 times now and we've loved it everytime. Friendly, great staff and the food is top quality. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful restaurant with a delicious menu. We received a warm welcome even though it was a little before their opening time. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding. Highly recommend for a special dining experience without fuss just good quality produce cooked with passion.

We visited during a difficult family incident that found us in South Petherton. The serving staff and chefs were fabulous while we gingerly picked our way through their tempting menu. Over an hour, we ordered random starters, sides and cheese. All delicious and served with...

A dreary August day was made more cheerful by the friendly welcome we received on entering this restaurant . The meals we ordered were perfectly cooked with many interesting flavours & beautifully presented. My husband ordered from the set menu , which was favourably priced...

Brilliant . Great team, top chef and such tasty original dishes. Bread 10/10 Trout starter sublime, full of flavour fresh and well presented. Main course of beef steak was succulent and the side order of potatoes are a must. Desert of blackberries and almond was...

My wife and I enjoyed an absolutely fabulous meal at The Holm early in July. How lucky nearby locals are to have such a restaurant to enjoy. We were visitors to South Somerset and looking for a top notch restaurant to celebrate a special occasion....

We had a wonderful experience at Holm. The food was delicious (fish starters and meaty mains) and we felt the portions were fair - we were definitely full after starter and mains. The atmosphere and service were also lovely and made for a very special...

We loved it. Perfectly curated menu. Perfectly cooked ingredients. Perfectly served Perfect! The Scots maitre'd was exceptional and really enhanced our visit.

Delicious dinner - a la carte menu with a choice of 4 items pre dinner drink, entree, main and dessert - feels then as if everything is freshly prepared and the kitchen isn’t stretched. Tasty tiny salted cod beignets on Siracha mayo to accompany our...

Fabulous, as always!! The most amazing terrace and garden, the perfect setting for the always delicious food!! We can never not have the West Country cheddar fries!! Cucumber gazpacho and trout crudo rapidly dispatched!! Delicious! Both had the confit chicken and charred hispi cabbage with...

Unfortunately if you are a vegan, I can't recommend Holm. We called in advance to make sure there would be something vegan on the menu but when we arrived the offering was very poor. Nothing written down, just a description by the waiter. First course...

Firstly let me say that it pains me to leave a 3* review for this restaurant - the food was some of the best I've tasted but the portion sizes and cost really, really let the Holm down. I have been lucky enough to eat...

I love HOLM particularly their taster menu. But now it’s only a la carte and very expensive. The portions are not much bigger so I was hungry after one tiny scallop for a starter and delicious halibut as main but not enough. I choked at...

Great food but £36 for a minuscule sized portion of halibut as a main was disappointing. It was more suitable on a tasting menu. Starter of beetroot delicious, but again very meagre amount, and beetroot is not expensive. It would be a shame if they...

This is a great spot and the no doubting the quality of the food and provenance Staff are great and wine list too The only issue is portion size on a few dishes compared to others Halibut was minuscule for £36 as was the single...

Excellent, imaginative food and great service. We sat at the 'chef's counter', watching the chefs at work and chatting about the food. A wonderful dining experience.

Superb - do I need to say any more? - the answer is yes because the review has to be at least 100 characters long! Both the food and service were excellent. The staff were very friendly - we will certainly return

The manger there is Fergus who recognised my wife from our last visit twelve months ago. We took a special local friend there for dinner tonight and both the food and the service were outstanding I cannot fault either the service or the quality of...

The third visit to Holm lived up to the high expectations set by the previous occasions. The menu is limited but changed regularly and every dish is cleverly composed and prepared to a high standard - delicious! Service is informal and friendly, but generally customers'...

Met every expectation at every level. From the warm welcome by Fergus the knowledgeable GM , the delicious Bloody Mary right through to the perfect Coffee and Petite Fours and everything in between. Salt Cod beignets, buttermilk Guinea Fowl, Cull Yew Leg, Hereford Beef combo…....

Myself and 3 colleagues dined here last week. We all opted for the tasting menu (1 vegan). The food was excellent, beautifully cooked, fresh, local produce. The drinks were fabulous also, however for me the star of the show was the attentive, professional and not...

We booked the vegetarian tasting menu and it was delicious. We thought it was reasonably priced as well. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely, and we sat next to the fire. Service great, with a knowledgable host who clearly cared.

Just enjoyed lunch at Holm - their own really tasty sourdough, elegant starters and tender lamb on pearly barley risotto with a piquant salsa verde. Wine, beer and set lunch all very reasonably priced and professional, efficient service from the small team there. A real...

I visited HOLM on Friday with a group of friends and everything was perfect. I had the vegetarian tasting menu and every single bite was to die for. Food was quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. Atmosphere was incredible and the restaurant is surprisingly...

My wife and I know good food when we eat and see it. Last night was special as my wife organised a meal with HOLM as a surprise early Valentine’s night. It was indeed a surprise! The first was the high prices, this set the...

My partner and I have been to Holm a couple of times now, and we’ve been blown away on both occasions. We had the vegetarian tasting menu, and honestly it’s to die for. Each time we’ve eaten and enjoyed types of food that we would...

Another great relaxed midweek lunch at Holm. One of those menus where you want to eat every dish! They welcomed our Labrador with a bowl of water. (The tables are well spaced so he wasn’t a nuisance to others. ) The staff knew the menu...

Had a large family meal in the private dining room to celebrate a birthday. The food was wonderful and interesting, with each course showing great care and attention with the highest quality ingredients, lovingly prepared. The staff were friendly and helpful, all round a lovely...

I went to Holm with my husband for my birthday - what a treat! We both had the tasting menu and were delighted with each course. The food was beautifully presented and very tasty. The serving staff were friendly and efficient with the right amount...

We think this was our fourth visit of the year to Holm and as good as every previous experience. Upon entering you are greeted in the warmest manner by Fergus who as Maitre’D seems to genuinely enjoy welcoming you to the restaurant. For a lunchtime...

The second visit to Holm was for a family dinner as an alternative to swapping presents, and the restaurant matched all the expectations set by the first. This is unquestionably fine dining in a pleasant setting, thoughtfully designed. As are the tasting menus: A delightful...

One of the best meals we have eaten in a long time. A fantastic array of dishes, locally sourced ingredients, cooked by skilled, knowledgeable chefs, who care about their dishes, using locally sourced ingredients. Every mouthful was a delight. We feel lucky to have experienced...

Really enjoyed lunch here with my gorgeous wife. The kitchen is open plan, which helps create a really good atmosphere. Chefs and front of house staff very chatty and knowledgable. We will definitely return, so long as the maitre d has forgiven me for trying...

Excellent in every way! Food is incredibly good; great attention to detail including flavours, textures, colours and focus on seasonal ingredients… just brilliant! Service is perfect too. One can really relax and enjoy the whole experience here, what a rare treat!! We had been there...

What a wonderful treat. We went for their Sunday lunch menu (£35 for three courses) and not one dish failed to impress. The food was utterly delicious and the staff were so friendly it was like being welcomed to lunch by old friends. The menu...

I was really delighted to get a table at what looked like a new top end restaurant just down the road from me, company was great but the food was far off the mark for the expensive price. I have had the privilege to eat...

Five of us visited last night and had a brilliant experience. We received a very warm welcome on arrival and were shown straight to our table where drink orders were taken.they have a good variety and I was able to have a pint from a...

We went to Holm with high expectations and we weren't disappointed. It was excellent. The tasting menu (vegetarian) was absolutely fantastic: beautifully presented, great flavours and locally sourced food. Sometimes, restaurants of this quality are "stuffy" and pretentious, but Holm is the opposite....really friendly staff,...

A fried and I were looking for a special restaurant halfway between us (South Devon and Hampshire) and we’re so lucky that Holm ticked all of the boxes. The greeting was friendly with the added bonus of a birthday card for my friend and the...

As a special celebration dinner it was expected to be quite a treat to eat at Holm but we found it overpriced and not all that special - particularly in comparison to several other local restaurants who do it better. At the level and price...

We went to Holm for a birthday and did the tasting menu with wine pairing which was absolutely phenomenal, the food was divine and all locally sourced, chefs bought out some of the dishes and explained them to us which made the whole experience even...

We arrived for an early lunch and were given a warm welcome. The menu is limited but a good choice of meat,vegetarian and fish. The waitress was charming but unfortunately had not been given any training of the menu so could not answer questions however...

This was our third visit and I can honestly say the food and service is outstanding. Exquisite and well balanced flavours combined with good service makes this a memorable experience. I highly recommend the tasting menu. Delicious. Again.

We went as a group of six on a busy Saturday evening. We all opted for the tasting menu, and were bedazzled by the succession of beautifully served tasty and well presented samples of each dish. Our waiter lovingly explained each wine pairing with the...

We had the tasting menu for lunch, every single thing was delicious. Each dish had been prepared with such attention to detail and the flavours were incredible. Friendly helpful staff and a lovely atmosphere too. So happy that this place is close to home and...

Looking forward to a meal with great company and unfortunately the company was the best thing about the evening as the meal was disappointing. We were allowed one choice of having either the a la carte menu or the taster menu as a four some...

Booked a lunchtime table online, got a call within minutes to ask if we had any dietary requirements/allergies, and gave notice that a large table were booked at a similar time, giving the option to change the time if we wanted to. We thoroughly enjoyed...

Brilliant experience at Holm! Everything was perfect; excellent food (we had the taster menu), great service; friendly but professional, nice decor… we will definitely come back!!

Great addition to south Somerset restaurant scene. A genuine destination place with locally-sourced food and drink, lovely decor, excellent staff and relaxed atmosphere. This area of Somerset has always had great food pubs to enjoy, but is now starting to attract and support some fantastic...

The food at this restaurant is contemporary and delicious. The menu, undersells the meals coming out of the kitchen, bags of flavour - hands down to the exceptional kitchen team. The welcome and service is spot on!! The wine list is different and interesting. I...

Great restaurant, warm welcome from friendly relaxed staff who knew their stuff! Set lunch menu with 3 choices for each course at a bargain price for the quality of the food. Full booked restaurant so essential to book. Loved it and would certainly return.

Fantastic food- very very good and very reasonably priced. Service was fantastic, very quick and very accommodating, very friendly staff. Lovely restaurant in a lovely village. Highly recommend.

The kitchen is open and part of the restaurant with seating area. It is a very noisy space with no decor with tables close together so there isn't any privacy. The staff are loud and too friendly. Don't call me 'guys'. The meals on the...

When the Daily Telegraph food critic gives five stars you know it’s going to be good. It was exceptionally brilliant, had the eight course tasting menu for lunch. Every single course was absolutely fabulous great taste, texture and incredible flavour, I will without doubt be...

Holm is a wonderful addition to the South West! A little late writing this review but after reading some negative reviews below it seems as though we ate at different restaurants?! The most friendly welcome and attentive service throughout the meal! We didn’t opt for...

The quality of the food was below expectations. My partner enjoyed his meal but both my courses lacked subtlety in flavouring and one was very greasy. The website is mis leading - we knew the choices were limited on the set lunch menu but thought...

My brother and I sent my parents to Holm to celebrate their Golden Wedding, and after hearing them rave about the food, we decided we would go for lunch. My only criticism would be that once the restaurant filled up, it was quite noisy. Aside...

Holm had been recommended by friends and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted by a very friendly smile and welcome and ushered to lour table adjacent to the kitchen. There as a lovely atmosphere in a busy restaurant. We enjoyed watching the chefs working hard...

Expected very high standard of tasters from chefs, underwhelming experience. Many empty seats in restaurant.

We had table booked for family meal and we ware really looking forward to that. On the door I've been measured by manager from top to my toes. Not a very good start of the evening but I thought food will be excellent and the...

Very noisy no need for background music , food small portions, please note the 12.5% discretionary charge is your choice, if you don't wish to pay it ask for it to be taken off !!! Please note this restuarant only takes cards and does not...

Holm was recommended to us by some friends as a new high class eaterie in Somerset. It certainly did not dissapoint. Had taster menu for 2 and along with bottle of wine came to £160.Good value for this standard of cooking. Nice relaxing ambience with...

Couldn’t fault the atmosphere, the set up and the decor of the restaurant but the food was no where near the standard I was expecting. I had the sea trout and the combinations on the plate made it very plain and sickly, broccoli and salsifis...

According to the Sunday Times TA13 is an up and coming postcode, which includes the small, but beautiful, village of South Petherton, a stone’s throw from the A303. The restaurant occupies a former bank in the centre of the village, and is managed by a...

We visited here on Christmas Eve and the pace was busy but not loud with it. The wood burner was blazing and we choose to sit at the kitchen counter. From the moment we entered the staff were all delightful. They chatted as they prepared...

Holm is an attractive restaurant with excellent and friendly service, innovative cocktails and an interesting wine list. we went to Holm for lunch on a Saturday when the whole of South Petherton had a power cut. Rather than close the restauant the enterprising chefs decided...

Contemporary design and buzzy atmosphere. Charming and helpful staff. Slow service (it was Friday night though). Food was just OK, but limited menu. Hard seats and a little bit noisy. Expensive at £65 a head. Would we go back? I hope so, but at the...

Wow! Truly superior dining in South Petherton. The whole experience was perfect, First, the food: exquisite flavours achieved by playing with twists to traditional dishes - for example the mussels in cider, smoked pumpkin soup, and the toasted buckwheat on the delicious roasted pear. And...

Holm has only been open for a few weeks, so these are early days, but we had high hopes for dinner with friends. It started well. We all admired the newly refurbished building and the simple interiors. It is good to be able to see...

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch at Holm this week. Well executed and very well sourced. The starter of Rib eye and anchovy on dripping toast was delicious and hearty. The interval between courses a little too generous. The plaice in brown butter with leek and fennel was...

My wife and I went for lunch to the newly opened Holm Restaurant in South Petherton. Immediately we were welcomed not only by the serving staff but also by the chefs in their open kitchen. Lovely to be able to see them at work. The...

We had te taster menu and was so impressed by the quality of ingredients and presentation, that we will return. Contrary to lots of tasing menus , there was a main course and pudding included. We particularly enjoyed the partridge and scallops. Excellent fresh local...

Really enjoyed our evening at this restaurant. It’s completely unlike anything else in South Somerset - a well-judged, professional, welcoming, contemporary restaurant. Rather fabulous that it’s housed in a beautiful old bank, with an open kitchen and good artwork on pared-back walls. The welcome was...

Holm Like the three horsemen of the acopalypse, Covid, Brexit and the Chancellor have each dealt cruel blows to would-be restauranteurs. Inflation, fierce competition for staff and the raising of VAT have combined to create a toxic mix. It’s therefore surprising and pleasing to find...

There are a few good gastropubs in the South Petherton area but we have been lacking somewhere really special to eat locally. Not any more. Holm is a real treat. A bold, imaginative but unpretentious menu, locally sourced (and seasonal) ingredients and what feels like...

Excellent food and a good choice of drinks, lovely atmosphere and helpful staff. We will definitely go here again.

Its good to be able to review a really excellent new restaurant in my own village. Holm officially opened today, a companion to Larry's and others in London. The old Nat West bank has been reborn as a high end dining experience which at lunch...

My husband heard about this 'new' restaurant in South Petherton and went along to try it out. The moment you stepped in the door of the restaurant the warm, buzz of something exciting hit you. The dynamic staff worked in an open style kitchen, the...
