Quantock Tea Room in Sedgemoor

This was the worst meal any of us ever had we can not recommend the place cream in scones where off the sandwiches where stale salad was past it’s best coffee was bitter definitely not a place to spend a nice afternoon

We were desperate for good coffee and a quick breakfast before hitting the road. The gentleman who served us was lovely and even advised us of the Porlock roll road which is the most beautiful road we have ever driven along! Fab smoked salmon and scrambled eggs too!

We only stopped for coffee and a snack before visiting Coleridge Cottage. The tea room is quaint and has some interesting old photos around. The coffee was good and we enjoyed our pastry and shortbread. Service was good and the cost ok.

We thought the cafe would be closed in Feb but the owners also run the shop and post office on the same premises. There was a good selection of cakes and snacks – try the chocolate brownies! Service was friendly so we ordered some sandwiches for our next day's walk and they were pretty good too as we sat on top of the Quantocks ridge.

Called in here for breakfast when staying at The Old House in the village. Served a good selection of meals and coffees at a good quality and reasonable price. We wish we had visited it more often during our stay in this lovely friendly village.

A friend and I drove to Nether Stowey for the day and enjoyed a really long walk, much of it uphill to a former fortress. (Or something - he's a history buff and I'm not!) The weather was exceptionally humid, so, by the time we got back to the village, I'd developed a powerful thirst. He'd been to the Quantock Tea Room before and liked it so we went there and I had the best pot of tea that I've had in ages. He had a white coffee and a pastry and we sat chatting for half an hour or so. We were the only people there. I'll definitely return here the next time I'm in the area.

We stopped off there today for a break in our journey, The lady could just not be bothered, she was rude on several occasions, we were made to feel very unwelcome. The food was poor quality, I had a tea cake and the butter was in a little sachet that was clearly months out of date. The rest of the food was just average for a mediocre low brow café. We all used the toilet which was accessed by walking up the road and around the back of the café/shop, the toilet was dirty and damp. It was a surprise to find various chemicals stored in bulk just laying around the toilet area which truly posed a potential health and safety hazard. There were two other couples in the café at the same as us, we met them outside, they too commented on the "unusual arrangement" of it all. Maybe we were just unlucky but both my husband and I were shocked by the whole expierience and were very surprised to see such a high ratings on here, it truly deserves a poor rating.

Really enjoyed the Ploughman’s and the local ham, egg & chips. Friendly and courteous service. Will be back for a cream tea soon 😀

Lovely little cafe, run by friendly welcoming staff serving lovely food and drinks. Definitely a recommendation and I will be returning in the future. Thankyou :)

We detoured into Nether Stowey on a long, hot and frustrating drive from Cheltenham to Minehead. Frustrating because us innocent tourists \wanted to bypass the centre of Bristol. Try it without satnav some time. Anyway, by mid afternoon our hunger was getting the best of us and we diverted into Nether Stowey. What a delight! This large village is absolutely beautiful as are the Quantock Hills in which it nestles. The Quantock Tea Room is attached to Nether Stowey's post office/shop. The ladies who run it are charming and friendly and this turned out to be one very welcome break. We couldn't go past the Somerset cheddar and ham sandiches that turned out to be generous and filling. Highly recommended.

Exactly what you would hope for in an English village. Nice little cafe with good food and cakes. Friendly and relaxed.

We had lunch here as we had arrived a little early to check into our B&B. We had enjoyed a cream tea here about the years ago so we hoped it would still be good. We weren't disappointed; the service was good and the food excellent. We got into a conversation with the owner who said he would get some information for us and sure enough, he delivered it to our B&B the next morning. How's that for good old fashioned service? Would thoroughly record.

Breakfast was great was a full english and was all hot, not like you get in some places where the beans can be cold. and Colin the server was amazing and very friendly. Top notch service.

Unexpectedly lovely tearooms/cafe in this little corner shop with post office. Lovely, friendly staff......didn't have a cake although really wanted to but did have toasted sandwiches - yummmmmy! Went back for lunch twice because they were sooo good, nice pot of tea, big tables, and can do post officey things and buy some groceries - perfect!

Was very disappointed. Had to wait ages to get served - personal conversations in the kitchen to be more important. We really felt we were a nuisance.

Been here a few times while out cycling, never disappointed, good food and service. Will add to our list of stops.

Teníamos andando Quantocks hasta el pueblo. En la cara de que el lugar no muy atractivo, de abrir la puerta a entrar en la cafetería.

Este salón funciona como una tienda/Oficina de Correos. Sólo nos metimos en un almuerzo ligero y el fuerte olor de la cocina era bastante desagradable. No había nadie en la caja y sólo tres personas estaban sentados a las mesas hablando entre sí. Después de unos minutos, me las arreglé para conseguir la atención de una chica que trabaja en la cocina. No es especialmente simpático, ella me dijo a sentarse y alguien podría asistir. Otra pocos minutos de estar esperando en la cafetería de humo y un hombre vino a nosotros para tomar nuestro pedido. Pedí el tocino y queso brie en un rollo de color marrón. No una sonrisa o agradable palabra, caminó directamente a un mostrador en la zona pública de la tienda donde, con las manos, él tomó un rollo de la estantería y lo llevó de regreso a la cocina. Me temo que no tenía confianza en la limpieza del lugar, así que me las arreglé para conseguir la atención de la señora original y anulado el pedido. Cuando me fui, el hombre, claramente, dijo, 'que tenga un buen día". No recomendado!

Normally they only cook fish and chips on a Friday but we asked if they could do us the meal on Thursday lunch instead.Well we were served our meal and it was as good as it was 8 months ago!The fish was so good I could have eaten a second piece! I am always telling Colin, the owner that!

Brilliant tasty lunch served with a smile. Exactly what we needed to start our spontaneous short trip to Somerset.

Homely quality food at a good price.Lots of choice.As it is an older building the toilet is not accessible and is round the corner through a green door.Well worth a visit.

Delicious fish and chips all served with a smile and a friendly chat. A great evening. Plus amazing homemade trifle with a generous amount of sherry in it! Would whole-heartedly recommend.

Thought we would have fish and chips whilst on a weekend away. Didn't know what to expect, but was blown away by the quality of the food. The chips were twice cooked to perfection and the fish with tempura batter was outstanding. Made with a secret recipe, was one of the best fish and chips ever. The curry sauce was also fantastic. You'd be daft to eat anywhere else - oh and the price is great too.

Had a lunchtime egg sandwich, it was flreshly made & delicious. The service was quick & friendly. Can recommend.

Called in for a cuppa and tea cake while out cycling. Though it was great value. Nice staff, will call in again.

Village tearoom alongside the groceries and post office.Lovely little place to stop for selection of teas and coffees, snacks and lunches. Nice quality and unfussy food served in a pretty room.

we stop here for tea in side the shop a welcome cuppa if you have been walking the quantocks .Parking is not easy but there is a small car park and toilets up the way.

Fantastic place to pop in for lovely food and afternoon cream tea! Very friendly staff and we had a great chat with Colin the local historian. Would highly recommend it.

This looked a nice place. We went in just as it was beginning to rain. We wanted a cup of tea and a bun. We were herded out as dogs are not allowed. Even though this is just a shop and a tea room. We were the only potential customers and there was nobody there we could possibly have annoyed. Our dog is VERY well behaved and has dined out extensively.

Really good Fish and Chips, good crisp batter and nice chips. Far better than soggy offerings brought all the way back from Bridgwater. We will see you again.

As usual Colin and Diane serve the best ever fish and chips.Washed down with a nice Sauvigon Blanc.Service is always friendly, cheerful and prompt.Could not ask for a better plate of locally sourced food.

We popped in for breakfast mid morning having never been to the village before. It a shop/ post office and tea room rolled into one and quite quaint. We ordered the full English and Ultimate English with coffee. The coffee was good and service excellent. It was an enjoyable meal before a day up on the hill.If I were to be very picky some of the ingredients could have been hotter along with the plates. Mushrooms would be welcome too along with fresh tomatoes not tinned. An enjoyable place to eat breakfast we will return.

This still has to be one of the best fish and chips around!Good size piece of cod with chunky chips.A nice light crisp batter.I had to keep distracting others at the table so I could help myself to theirs ☺☺

Fish and chips served in the tea room at the village post office every Friday evening.Colin and Dian get the cod fresh on the day and make their own batter and mushy peas.Nicely served up and plenty of it. The cod is skinless and boneless - I have to admit it is one of the best I've had.Good banter with Colin.Definitely will be back again. I only hope I can survive till next Friday's fish night! Thanks for a great supper.

Friday night was Fish and Chips night and it was a treat.The licensed tea rooms is a friendly well laid out room of the shop cum post office serving a small menu at various times so look and book. The fish was cooked to perfection and the chips were mouth burning hot and so tasty. A reasonable range of drinks and great service with friendly humour. A very pleasant experiance. All we have to do now is work out when to fit the massive cooked breakfast in before we have to go home.

Stopped here for coffee and cake yesterday while visiting, great cake, great cappuccino and great service. There was a good menu as well with a 'Fish on Friday' specials, well worth a visit.Parking free and 2 mins walk.

After staying in Nether Stowery for a few days on business we quickly learnt that this place would be our go-to! We tried their pizza night and was amazed at how delicious their home cooked food was and they couldn't be beaten on price. Friendly owners who made us feel welcome, even when we came in just to buy one 2nd class stamp :D if we're ever back down here we will definitely return

Wonderful toastie fabulous cake great leaf tea and very warm welcome - what more could we ask for! Oh yes - reasonably priced too!

fantastic friendly staff, excellent range of cakes and pastries, ideal if your looking for a snack in nether stowey

Friendly staff, excellent home made food. Can also buy a postcard, write it while having tea and post it as also a Post Office! Also sell lovely gifts, unusual foods and honey. Well worth a visit.

Finished a walk in Nether Stowey so popped in for a well earnt tea. What a delight! We were welcomed like long lost family members (never been there before). Then offered delicious home made cakes with 'real' leaf tea.If you don't like large chunks of delicious home made cakes, plenty of leaf tea, a warm welcome - all at a very reasonable price, this is not the place for you. If you do then this is definitely the place to visit, I will be back.

I live in the village and use the post office regularly, the staff are always lovely.Recently I saw that the attached tea room was running a weekly 'pizza night', this is fab for the villagers and visitors as it saves driving into the nearest town to get a takeaway (although you can eat in too!)The food was great, far better than I anticipated and at a great price too!We will definitely be retuning and would highly recommend to anyone who lives in or is visiting Nether Stowey.

Huge, and some of the best I have eaten outside Italy. The staff are friendly, and nothing is too much trouble.

We was staying in the Village in a local B&B and we popped in for a Coffee but left having Ham, Egg and chips. Which I've got to say the food was very delicious. The Cafe had a real Country feel.When we visit Nether Stowey again we will 100% be back.

A homely small restaurant attached to post office/shop in the centre of the village. Enjoyed a very tasty toasted sandwich and tea. The staff are very obliging and friendly. I can highly recommend this restaurant!!

We stopped off here on our way back to Wales from Butlins Minehead in October 2014. We were apprehensive about going in as we have two young children and our experience of tea rooms are that they are not generally child friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the children were more than welcome and made a fuss of. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was freshly homemade, tasted good and plentiful. It was decorated well and was clean. We also purchased some local honey. I would definitely recommend and visit again if we are ever passing by in the future.

We booked an afternoon tea for a family 70th birthday party for 10. We had this after the shop closed and so had the charming tea rooms to ourselves. Nice presentation of food on tiered stands & the food was gorgeous. Lots of lovely finger sandwiches including smoked salmon, cheddar and egg (and even some special request marmite for a fuss pot!) lovely fresh scones with butter jam & cream, lots of cake and mince pies. Plenty of tea and we were offered refills of hot water. Nice glass of bubbly for the adults and some friendly service made it a lovely family occasion.Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a high tea in a relaxed cosy setting!

We came on a Tuesday from spain, passing to see family. We stopped at this Tearoom/ Post office for a drink and a snack, only to find out that they make fresh homemade pizza's on a Tuesday night between 6-8 in the evening. We were there at 4 in the afternoon, and quit hungry. They served us with a smile and very pleasant understanding. We were told if we could wait till the ovens were hot , they would make us fresh pizzas. By 5 o'clock we were served 4 fantastic big crispy pizzas with all the trimmings we liked. No pressure on sitting and eating and atmosphere was very friendly country family style. Absolute brilliant , we had a great first impression of english country life. We will surely do this again on our next visit and will also try to get there for their Friday night Family fish and chips night. Prices more than reasonable.

We called into Nether Stowey to break up a very long journey and are so glad we did. The tea room is lovely and very reasonably priced. Will call again if ever in the area.

We arranged to meet some lads from the Isle of Man here at 10am on a Friday morning before mountain biking in the quantocks and exmoor. It was raining heavy so none of us had any urgency to get out on the bikes as well as being starving, so all 4 of us ordered the ultimate breakfast. It came with tea/coffee/orange juice and toast. All were brought, ideally, just before the breakfast, which came in a reassuringly timely manor, so that you know it's been cooked fresh and not been sitting on a hot plate. The breakfast was spot on, really filled a hole and prepared us for 30 miles of cross country biking. In fact we didn't eat again until 7pm! We we're let down by one of the guys who couldn't finish it all off, he lost man points for that, although it is huge and great value for a tenner. We then hung around after waiting for the rain to stop, in which time we got some complementary drinks top ups and chatted to the owners. We spent a total of two hours in the tea room and felt very welcomed the entire time. The rain finally stopped and we had an epic ride across the quantocks. We will be back next year for our annual Exmoor trip. Note: the door is stiff, give it a good push! Also, there's a 'system' for the WC, but the staff will explain it to you.

We were starving and saw the sign on the main road and decided to give it a try. Lovely tea room, sandwiches and scones and croissants. We were even given some free chips for the kids as they had some left over. Set off for Porlock revived.

We stopped off for tea and toasted tea cakes whilst en route to Watchet and enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon break here . Service was friendly, prices good. Our afternoon tea was most enjoyable so we made sure we dropped in again the following day on our way back to sample their breakfast menu - albeit lunch time when we arrived. Once again we were greeted with a smile and treated to a very tasty full English breakfast. Simple well presented fare with more on the menu to tempt us back to try something else when next in the area.Whether you're in Nether Stowey to visit Coleridge Cottage (National Trust), passing through or just wondering what a place with a name like this looks like, this teashop makes an ideal stopping point.

We stopped for a late lunch after visiting the Coleridge Cottage, and were delighted to find a friendly staff and the best quiche that we've ever eaten. We enjoyed lingering over our lunch while villagers came and went from the shop for daily errands. Have to recommend the Honeycomb Ice Cream as well. If you are seeking a great meal and village charm, this is your place. Highly recommended!

This was my first visit to the West Country and I managed to spend a lot of mornings at the Quantock Tea Rooms where I enjoyed delightful pots of tea followed by generously sized English breakfasts. The bacon and brie baguettes are certainly a must try !! The tea room has a lovely country ambience where staff wear big smiles. The smell of freshly baked croissants, cakes and baguettes wafts delightfully as you walk by even when it is cold and wet outside. With the post office in the same building makes it rude not to stop in for a pot of tea of 5. The shop is stocked well with lovely and interesting delights for when you are taking a long walk around the area or just on go and need something quick for dinner. All in all a very charming little place !

We were staying at the wonderful Olde House , Nether Stowey having come down to visit family. The Post Office stocks great ready-made meals for when you don't want to cook and its cafe does a lovely brunch and cup of tea. We didn't have to visit a supermarket at all as the village is so well stocked. Best of all though, the family came over for a visit and I booked for all ten of us to eat in on the Fish and Chips night. This was perfect - they are licensed - and good value: they offered the usual chip shop menu so it suited everyone. Highly recommended.

What a delight. We had a breakfast baguette. Yummy...such great value for money. Great service. Good coffee. Overall a very lovely surprise!

Arrived late in the afternoon expecting we would not be served but instead we were greeted in a very friendly way and served with an excellent pot of tea and large slices of very nice sponge cake. We were not rushed or made to feel unwelcome at all and surprised when it came to payment just what good value it all was.Top marks!

We enjoyed a lovely walk in Nether Stowey and then visited the tea rooms at the Post Office. The food was excellent, as was the service by a charming young waitress. However......... we were mortified to hear they way the manager spoke to her. It was disgraceful, public humiliation is not our scene, and that would definitely stop us from visiting the tea room again.Management - learn how to treat your staff!!

Always love to walk into a village and see a cosy warm and friendly tea room.Handy little shop and post office all in one.Delicious cakes !

Tasty teacake and coffee marred by very frosty and unwelcoming reception by young member of staff. We were a small group of walkers and we did offer to take our boots off but she did not take us up on it. We did not leave a mess but you would think in a place like this walkers in boots were a common occurrence. Food was good though.

Friendly, inexpensive and oldy worldy village tea roomTheir monthly pie nights are excellent.Set in a post office you can write and post those letters you had being meaning to do but never had the time

After a six mile walk ending in Nether Stowey, the cheese ploughman's was the perfect light lunch. Two types of local cheddar with the usual trimmings hit the spot. So too did the pot of leaf tea with plenty of water to squeeze out three cups each.Friendly service from the (we presumed) husband and wife team who run the post office; the tea room is linked to the shop.

Highly recommend partaking of afternoon tea here. The cream tea with warm scones, jam and cream was delicious mmmmmm ......

We arrived at our hotel about 4pm Friday and wanted a late lunch, we were struggling to find anywhere that was still serving food at this time of day, and were told about this tea room by our hotel manager. We went there, and were so pleased when they said they were still serving. The food was lovely, the tea room was very cute, and the staff were very friendly.

Food all freshly made. took a little time but lovely when it arrived. Friendly staff Overall very good.

My only negative is the lack of heating in winter? The staff are welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. Yes there is a wait for food because it is all freshly made! The smoked salmon and scrambled egg was delicious but on the cool side, the egg I mean.We did not linger for anything else because of the cold, but may try again when the weather is warm

An extraordinarily welcoming village tea room connected to the post office and a small shop where you can find food prepared and served with care and enthusiasm. Everything has been redone and decorated respecting the local colors and old spirit of the building with a lot of attention to details and to the history of the building and the village and the area. You can find local products, fresh bread, little souvenirs, beautiful postcards to send immediately from the post office! I will definitely be back, hopefully soon, and I definitely recommend the place for anyone who wants to enjoy a delicious food in a relaxing and locally colored and welcoming environment!

A beautifully laid out, spotless and inviting environment. The establishment itself includes a post office, a small shop with everything one might need including local products and freshly baked bread. The highlight is the tea room where one can enjoy Diane's lovely home-made delicacies. Thumbs up all-around! This place is a must if you find yourself in the area.

A great tea room with good home made food and excellent service.Very good atmosphere.Will definitely be back.

Good to see what can be done with a small shop. The owners have diversified to create a tea room, post office selling a variety of products including fresh breads.Also good to see that the three shops in the village all complement each other in that they are all different.Eaten in the new tea room several times now.Food is good but you do seem to wait a long time for your order to arrive, which spoils the overall experience.

A wonderful place, offering excellent pots of tea and delicious home-made scones in a light-filled, spotlessly clean room with flowers and china bunnies in the windows. They also do things like ham and egg and chips, or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on a toasted muffin. Hmm. VERY tempting. The shop also has a post-office part and a general store section, so if you like you can combine your tea with other business. As well as ordinary groceries, they have a range of local produce - jams, honey, fresh bread, double cream....

We were over from the USA to visit friends and were fortunate to stop in at the Quantock Tea Room. Mrs. P has done a tremendous job renovating the site. The food, the service, the atmosphere are all just wonderful. Just the place to rest for a while after hiking. Both Mrs. P and her husband Colin (the postmaster) made us feel so welcome that we will definetly return and recommend this site to our friends back home.

A tea room that is a tea room, superb homemade food from locally sourced products. Try her pastry if you get the chance. Fantastic service from Mrs P who owns the tea rooms and we were also fortunate to meet Mr P Nether Stoweys Postmaster. They really are the heart and soul of the village. Recommend a visit if only to say hi!

Fantastic value for money, good size meals served in a clean & friendly environment. Will visit again

I have just had a lovely lunch in this tea room. The service was friendly and the food was really good. It was hot and homemade and prepared on the premisies.
