Panku Frome in Mendip

Fabulous restaurant. Staff incredible. Owners welcoming. Food always of a very high standard. So sad they are closing on 16th December.

Really good chicken and chips. Not greasy. Chicken is nice and crispy. Excellent food and very reasonable.

Nowhere like The Hunters Lodge, anywhere.

We visited BDW's last year and it was fantastic so we returned this year with a group of friends. We were embarrassed at how bad the experience and service was this time. Lots not available on the menu, disinterested staff and serving average food. I wouldn't bother going back. Such a shame to see a great place go down hill.

The food was interesting with good presentation, which I assume is how they achieved their Michelin star(s) however, for a truly great restaurant to be considered great, service, as well as the food must be exemplary. It’s all part of the experience, and if it’s lacking, the food can’t make up for it. Unfortunately our recent experience was less than expected and very disappointing. Wait staff appear young, and somewhat inexperienced; owners should attend to this lack and improve their training program or risk losing their status.
