HOTEL Chocolat in Mendip

The refurb of this place is of a very high standard and the staff are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the food lets it down. Primarily, if you don't like burgers or fish and chips, find somewhere else. I visited with a friend and although my fish and chips were good, my friends meal was first served on completely cold vegetables. On pointing this out to the waiting staff, she offered a replacement which, we expected would be a plated meal with hot food. Unfortunately it was delivered as a pile of veg and potatoes thrown together in a tin dish. Not ideal and a real disappointment. Probably would not visit again.

Stop for lunch 10/10.food was great.and plenty of it.will be stopping here again. Plus they do GF.

Wow called in while walking the dog staying in the area, garlic mushrooms to start were lovely and the seafood platter excellent value lovely staff highly recommended

The pub itself is fine, bordering on fine. The food however was just dire. We both had sandwiches, on the cheapest of bread, thin and brittle, one of us stupidly chose the ‘cheese and pickle’, which was almost entirely pickle was a toddler’s-handful of cheap grated cheese. The real crime were the chips - thin, cheap, overcooked and tasted like they’d been cooked in old burnt oil, we had exactly one each. So by all means enjoy a drink here, just avoid the food.

Offers a better selection than my local Sainsbury's worth travelling a bit longer for. Friendly staff, large store, wide aisles.
