Mortimers in West Somerset

Sadly whilst the food looked nice, but we didn't get to taste it. Two young girls in charge and were very slow and disorganised. We waited in a queue to order for 10mins then told to sit down then continued to wait. Walked out. Shame! Better tea shops in this lovely village. Try the Copper Kettle

Waited outside for quite a while then once we sat down we were asked ‘You’re not wanting food are you?’ Well that was the plan! Left speechless and unfed!

Really slow service and the waitress was quite rude

Really really love this gorgeous little cafe in Dulverton. Always delicious food, great vegan/vegetarian choices and all local produce. Mortimers is the only cafe open on a Monday and can be busy but the lovely, young hardworking girls are efficient and pleasant and make fabulous barista coffee!! The food is well worth the wait. Highly highly recommend 👏👏👏👏

Couldn’t be bothered to serve us after telling us to sit down and they would take the order from the table. We waited half an hour then left, very poor service. Not recommended.

Absolutely LOVE this small establishment in beautiful Dulverton- The food is scrumptious with great barrista coffee & bubble tea- The young waitresses are hardworking and efficient in the ONLY cafe open on a Monday- The girls cope well with sometimes impatient and RUDE customers which myself and my friend unbelievably witnessed- Well done Mortimers 👏 Delicious and a pleasure to sit and relax in your chilled atmosphere and music 🎶

Updated 20240719: Joy of joys, the originals are back after the break last year. Fantastic food, great choice of cakes, fabulous coffee and tea. Highly recommended, go visit this place and fill your boots with culinary goodness. Note that the burgers come without chips, so you can fill up with cake afterwards if - and that's a big if - you still have room. Originally: Such a good place to be. We stopped off for a cup of tea and coffee first, then did done shopping, and then went back for lunch. The BBQ Moo burger, a wonderfully cooked through slab of meat nestled within a rustic brioche (yes, brioche, not ciabatta) with a delightfully spicy mango chutney, was fabulous. The spinach and mushroom omelette was herby and filling and came with three little pickles and chutneys (beetroot, mango, and a curried onion one) and was delicious. Topped off with a couple of elderflower pressées and a good meal was had. Service was slow but then all the tables were taken it being lunchtime. If you were in a rush, then go before 12 or after 1330. But if you are happy chatting and working out what to do next, and wondering if you could fit in a sliver of one of the amazing cakes afterwards, then this relaxed family- and dog friendly place is for you. Did I mention the cafetière coffee is to die for? It has a soul of its own, and lets you know it's there while still in the pot. A single sniff will wake the dead, enliven your tongue, and bring colour to your cheeks. Hugely recommended.

Hard to judge on just one visit, but homemade lemon drizzle cake was light, with faintest taste of lemon.

Walked in and sat down. Waited ages before walking out. Staff don't seem interested in serving people.

Came here last year when it was Mad Hatters, but now it's Mortimer's and it's definitely gone downhill. Staff turned away outsiders wanting hot food but local builders were accommodated. We only had coffee and cake but the service was poor. This business deserves to go bust.

Excellent Sunday BH lunch, obvious care taken in prep of food, good ingredients and flavours. Good value.

My go to place immediately I step off the bus. For years!

Good breakfast and service. Very friendly but was just a little chilly as it was a cold morning and they had just opened.

Really nice Mac and cheese special.

Gone back to mortimers and absolutely shocking. Half of the jacket potato we had was hard. As for the puddings, one was inedible. Told the staff and they weren’t bothered. Was still charged for it and at £5 felt totally ripped off. The other pudding was charged £1 for a dollop of squirty cream. Waited over half an hour for someone to collect our plates and order pudding, when no one came I went to counter to order. Had to get up twice to let people in/out of table behind us, was so squashed in. We are locals and so disappointed it’s no longer Mad Hatters. Won’t be going again and certainly won’t recommend. P.S the only positive was the cappuccino was nice

Won’t go back again. Couldn’t be bothered service by the guy who was running it. Sweet little girl getting involved with the service. Expensive for the drinks we had.

What a little gem of a café! Service is excellent, friendly and personal. Dog-friendly. The burger is the best I have ever had, using local Exmoor-raised Dexter beef, with blue cheese & mushrooms. The Welsh-rarebit, cakes and cream teas are also superb. We’d eat here every day if we could.

It's now called Mad Hatter's. The food was wow and very generous portions. I had a baguette with sausage, bacon, fried egg and black pudding with side salad more like a breakfast in a baguette which filled me for most of the day. Prices are very reasonable especially compared to other establishments. The restaurant is clean and staff and owners very friendly. The cafe has a mad hatter's tea party theme. We'll worth the journey from Minehead to eat there and look around the small village.

Cracking restaurant, great food, sensibly priced lovely staff. Fab fun decor Thanks

This cafe has changed hands recently and seems to be trading as the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. We went in because it advertised fair trade coffee which we always aim to buy for ethical reasons. The cake was good and the coffee was OK but it did not seem to be fair trade as I was told it was Dowe and Egberts who are not, to my know a fair trade company.

No longer Mortimer's but is the Mad hatter's tea party Great service and food, can't recommend them enough

Mad Hatters Tea room is open at this location serving tasty hot food including all day breakfasts and tempting cakes. Great value the breakfasts were so good we came back for more (and left with take away cake)! Highly recommended.

A nice little Tea Room with delicious cakes.

This cafe is now under new owners and now called Mad Hatters Tea Party! It is very quirky with lots of Alice in Wonderland memorabilia. The menu is very good catering for all tastes and all freshly cooked. The wide range of cakes are all home made too! Very friendly would highly recommend.

Now called The Mad Hatters Tea Room. Splendid breakfast and lovely people.

Lovely little cafe, now the mad hatter's cafe!

Really friendly people. Encouraged us to sit by the fire!! Gorgeous cakes and delicious coffee.

£2.60 for the teeniest tiniest takeaway tea. I really want to support independents but literally can’t afford to. At least not very often.

What a fantastic little place. The two girls serving were incredibly polite, friendly and helpful. An easy 10/10 for customer service. Unfortunately the owner was away so they were only doing cakes and hot drinks. I opted for a toasted teacake and possibly the best hot chocolate I've ever had. Hopefully we will be back in the week for some lunch.

Must visit and eat here. Spoilt for choice. Portions really good. Home cooked food. Good value. Staff friendly and helpful. Good selection of cakes. Amazing milkshakes in a variety of flavours. Can't recommend it enough.

Nice atmosphere in this pub. My chicken burger was tasty. The bubble and squeak was unfortunately a bit bland and burned. Milkshake was delicious and the deluxe hot chocolate as well.

Found this place by chance. The food was absolutely stunning 👌. Would highly recommend 👍

Great coffee, very friendly, allow dogs in, good value good food.

Lovely cafe, friendly with superb homemade food. Definitely recommend this.

Popped in for lunch today, lovely little place food looked lovely but from the moment we walked in there was no one to be seen! No staff no one behind the counter, we waited 5 minutes picked up some menus off the counter and still no one appeared when eventually someone did appear they didn't come over or approach us to apologise for keeping us, or indeed never even acknowledged us saying they would be with us in a moment. I think the gentleman serving was on his own but we still didn't get any apology or explanation so in the end we left after 10 minutes of being ignored 😠😠

Popped in for a quick drink. Very nice coffee and had very nice piece of Bakewell Tart as well.

Lovely little gem cosy friendly

Great cafe. Fantastic food and a warm welcome for us and our dog. We had intended just having coffee and cake, passing through. But the menu was so tempting. We had lunch and cake! Really enjoyed it and will definitely be back. Thanks!

Delicious scones and very good tea. Highly recommend Mortimer's

Lovely place on high street, good service. We had breakfast which was delicious, plenty of options for none meat eaters. Dog friendly.

Friendly welcome and great food, in a nice little spot

A lovely cafe excellent food and friendly atmosphere. Dog friendly well priced

Found this restaurant/cafe while on holiday in Exmoor, didn't have to wait long for a table, there was table service and even though they were busy we were served quite quickly, the food was freshly prepared and delicious

Stumbled in here desperate for ice-cream and espresso after a full-leathers ride on the hottest day of the year. Ice cream and coffee were amazing, and the owner's daughters helping out were the most diligent of staff! I'll liked it so much we went back for food after out walk. Between us had lasagna, bubble and squeak and 2 sandwiches. Everything was outstanding and worth every penny! Thanks guys and girls :)

Great coffee shop, does lovely food and fabulous treacle tart.

Great little cafe - we had coffee and cake and our dog had an ice cream which she really enjoyed. Will definitely be back.

To the owner a massive thank you for staying open after lunch. We were the cyclist caught out in the rain! Thanks again for the coffee, scones with cream and jam. Excellent service and hope the baking went well! 👍

Great rarebits and toasties Friendly staff and interesting decor. Good Covid practice too

Mortimer's full English breakfast is amazing!

Just a quick stop on our cycle for a delicious shortbread biscuit and some tea & coffee. They had a reduced number of tables available inside as well as some additional tables in tents outside to allow for social distancing. Very clear Covid-19 procedure and helpful staff.

Absolutely delightful food, freshly prepared. Good sensible safety measures too. The burger was cracking. The salmon and herb omelette the same. and the high tea... well see the photos! Perfect.

Great coffee and atmosphere. Lovely to chat with Robin the Proprietor of this lovely cafe. Wood burner, chunky table and chairs, good menu selection and prices are reasonable. What’s not to like. See you again when I’m back on the river there. 😁

We popped in late this afternoon for drinks after having a long walk through the woods. Various hot drinks available including fruit teas, coffee's, latte's and hot chocolate for the kids. Good selection of cakes also. Two friendly young ladies served us today and we knowledgeable of the local area and very welcoming. Will be visiting again!

Great breakfast and perfect coffee as always

Good tea rooms near the bridge. Can be busy, so you may have to wait to be served.

Friendly service and great food.

Always wonderful service and food, and looking so festive this time of year

Pies to die for and a fantastic, warm welcome!

Fantastic experience as always. Hospitable, warm and friendly. Delicious food. We will definitely return again and again.

Glad to find this open, and dog friendly, on a Sunday. Cosy and welcoming, friendly owner but a little pricy. Made our day to see the owners very young daughter (about 6?) helping to clear tables and serve food!

What a fabulous find, great coffee, amazing gf cake, and fantastic place!

Just had a coffee and a tea in here. Although nice atmosphere, food is very expensive especially sandwiches and the basics.

Just had a lovely all day breakfast never ever tasted such a well presented , delicious in my life owners very polite

Nice place and good food menu for reasonable prices. I grumbled about the price of the coffee but it was a good cup, if rather small. My wife's tea was more generous. Nice atmosphere, pleasant staff.

So glad we found this place. The coffee is the best. Owner and staff really chatty and helpful. The food was amazing. We will definately be back. Highly recommend

Friendly, cosy atmosphere and really good coffee, ideal for the coffee aficionados and afternoon tea fans alike.

Very good sandwich, with two cheerful young women coping well with a full cafe

Very good food quick cheerful service.

Food good but premises now run down and tired. Needs a revamp. Quite cramped inside.

Fantastic cup of tea & Lemon Drizzle cake to die for

Fantastic food and friendly service. Would go back again and again to try all the tasty dishes. Do not pass by this one.

Great coffees and cookies, with a smile.

Very nice food and great service frim helpful friendly staff would definitely recommend

This is a lovely rustic cafe serving very generous portions at reasonable prices. The cream tea cane with scones warm out of the oven, and more clotted cream than you could hope to fit on a pair of scones. They have a good variety of fancy loose leaf tea, and you get a 3 cup pot. Free WiFi provided. All in all a very good way to spend an hour to relax and take in Exmoor

Great food, friendly helpful staff.

Delicious treacle tart and coffee & walnut cake with a largest teapot of really refreshing in house mixed tea, friendly welcoming and calm relaxed decor.

Great food, great coffee. Lovely little place.

My sister is pregnant and the staff were really helpful in catering to her needs. Really polite and friendly and made a fantastic meal for all of us. Highly recommend.

A wonderful find for food and for a good pot of tea and cake. Staff are friendly and cannot do enough to help. We went back! If I could transport it to home I would.

Mortimers is the best café. Super tea, great food and wonderful friendly service. A complete gem.

Very nice tomato soup. Dogs are welcome.

Friendly, dog friendly, and served a decent cappuccino. We sat out on one of the sweet little outdoor tables but inside looked nice too!

Very impressed with the service. We had been cycling in the rain and it was the very place we needed with super friendly staff and a very welcoming environment.

Great sausage rolls and coffee, and friendly staff in a nice atmosphere

Lovely cuppa great waitress dog friendly very welcoming....coming back...😁

Always a must when in the area.

The rarebit is brilliant. The children were really well catered for they even had little cutlery. The cake is amazing.

A lovely quaint place, with friendly staff and excellent food. It's very busy and a tadge small so get in when you can. Highly recommended.
