Riverside Cafe Ilminster in South Somerset

After owing thousands of pounds in rent to my very patient dad who gave him multiple chances, the owner of Riverside Cafe Ilminster, Ethan Parker was rightly asked to leave the premises. This is how he left the building, still owing thousands. He’s moving his “business” to Axminster very soon under a new name. If you happen to be a landlord in that area then do be aware. Do not trust this extremely immature boy.

Luscious lunch! I had the bacon brie & cranberry melt. Bread was fresh, tasty and of the doorstep variety! Filling was well matched and delicious. My partner had the Chicken Burrito which was stacked and had every ingredient you would want for an awesome cheesy burrito. The chips were perfectly cooked too. As for the drinks, my mocha was sublime. The coffee was not too bitter and the chocolate was just the right hint, not too overpowering or watery either. Pretty perfect! Would recommend here for lunch if you want good quality and excellent tasty food.

Cheerful service, large portions. Unconventional ingredients for Caesar salad, with bacon & tomato but no anchovy. Chicken was a red/brown colour that looked like the chicken tikka on partner's naan. It was a pity that the previous day had been busy so that most specials were sold out

Been to this tucked away cafe a few times now but I have been put off by the last visit not because of the food but because of the smell of cooking oil and came out smelling like I had been dunked in it. The food is really good and have never had a bad meal but can be a little hit and miss if certain chefs don't turn up for work. I would recommend this cafe but just be prepared to come out smelling like cooking oil and the only reason I have given 4 stars not 5.

what a great find, the two of us went in between xmas and new year and has a stunning breakfast, so good we went back with the family, 8 of us the next day, lovely service, relaxed, great food and done freshly in the open kitchen, we just loved it, thank you so much
