The Courtyard Restaurant in Mendip

My wife and I had an excellent dinner this evening at the Courtyard. Not only was the food great but so was the service and the prices were very reasonable. Please book with them. You will not be disappointed.

Very much enjoyed eating here. Staff were attentive. Lovely

A gem of a rural restaurant with a friendly and helpful staff. The only reason i didn’t give the food 5 stars is because of a couple of minor mistakes on our order which were, to be fair, swiftly corrected. Highly recommended if you are visiting Wells, but be sure to book in advance as it’s justifiably busy.

The good here is really good. Lots of choices if you're gluten free, even the dessert menu nearly everything was gf. Staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful with dietary requirements etc. My husband isn't gf and also really enjoyed his meal. Would absolutely recommend.

Superb! The best Sunday lunch I have had in a long time. I wholly recommend this restaurant, I could no find fault. Quality food well presented. The staff are wonderful, friendly and helpful. The restaurant is stylish, tasteful including even the toilets. Thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Great quality food, friendly & attentive staff, would highly recommend.

Lovely menu and delicious freshly cooked food. We ate 3 courses and it was all very good. Would thoroughly recommend this family run restaurant 100%. If you get the opportunity go!!

Superb food with amazing price. And the staff and owner are very nice. Would love to come here again.

Great food, good menu, relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff and good value

Lovely food. Mostly had the 3 course set menu and it was great value. Lovely ‘tender’ pork fillet steaks and beautifully cooked sea bass. Many excellent GF options. Staff were great. Thoroughly recommend- go try it, I don’t think you will be disappointed especially if you struggle to find great GF food.

The food and service was fantastic, they also offer a fixed menu option which was an excellent value for money.

Went for Sunday lunch whilst visiting Wells - was a late sitting but the food was still excellent and the service impeccable, thank you.

Had a lovely meal here with my partner, before a Concert in Wells Cathedral. Very nice friendly and welcoming Staff. Superb food, very well presented and certainly reasonably priced. Tucked up an alleyway, off Sadler Street in Wells, this is a Restaurant that seem to be doing everything right. I'd highly recommend and we will certainly be returning.

The Courtyard is spotless, lovely atmosphere. We enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch with all freshly cooked vegetables, at reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and attentive, superb service, I can highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely revisit.

Very nice food and good portions.

We visited as a group of 4. We all had different starters and different main courses. All of them were excellent. Some if us followed up with puddings, the bread and butter pud was fantastic. Good value with excellent service, a place that is not to be missed!

Hi caliber food at very reasonable prices, really nice Sunday Lunch

This Chef can cook ! The food was absolutely outstanding! My lasagne was the best I’ve ever tasted and the salad was beautiful and interesting. My husband’s sirloin was tender and the chips were to die for ! The ambiance in the restaurant wasn’t that great ( fairy lights half not working ) but service was really lovely and friendly. Would really recommend

Don’t be fooled by the old school style. Very good food and the staff are so nice. Loads of GF options as well. Very enjoyable

Absolutely fantastic meal, great and friendly service, lovely little spot. So sorry we hadn’t visited before, but will definitely be back.

Just visiting the area, and looking for a good place to eat. Very pleased to say, we found an excellent restaurant here. Everything was 5 star. Food, service the lot. Can't recommend this lovely restaurant enough.

A very sweet restaurant tucked away in a little alleyway. Simple menu but very well executed. The pork medallions in mushroom sauce was outstanding. Great service.

Five of us had dinner here. Varied imaginative menu, beautiful presentation, everything perfectjy cooked .

Absolutely fabulous 5 star service and food. The only place to dine and celebrate occasions in Wells. Thanks again for the wonderful food and ambience, as always a fantastic evening.

Great experience excellent staff especially Julie will return soon 🙂

Great night. Hosts were smashing and added to the enjoyment

Lovely meal, friendly staff and incredibly welcoming to people with Gluten allergies My dad can sometimes struggle with choice but this time around he had plenty to choose from for his birthday Would quite happily visit again and recommend to others

Excellent Sunday roast on Easter Sunday. Very tasty and excellent value for money. Everything freshly cooked- just like your Mum’s roast!

Amazing meal,cooked to perfection, presentation superb, lovely waitress, overall the best meal I've had in a long time.

What a great family run restaurant. We were treated to really friendly, quick service. The food is top quality and excellent menu choice. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, staff very attentive, quick service & meal was delicious, excellent value & lovely venue thank you 😁

A great place with fantastic food and friendly staff. The food was perfect

Food was delicious, service very friendly, premises very clean thank you

Best roast dinner ive had in ages. I will go back for sure. The waitress Julie was lovely as were the others. She sorted me getting a Yorkshire and both lamb and pork which was great. The meat was lovely as was everything. The restaurant was beautiful and had a lush atmosphere.

One of the best places to eat in the centre of Wells. Great choice of meals and the roasts are delicious. Friendly service, pleasant atmosphere. Hidden away in a small courtyard near the Swan Hotel.

23rd wedding anniversary celebration, very nice finding this place, food, staff and atmosphere all great , will definitely call in again.

Lovely good and lots of GF options.

Came here with a large group (14) in August 2022. They accepted our booking very last minute, and they were extremely helpful. Very lovely and helpful staff, delightful atmosphere, delicious food, and very reasonable prices. The whole party enjoyed the experience enormously - we cannot recommend highly enough!

We could not fault a single thing at this restaurant. The food was amazing - the steak is melt in the mouth. The staff are so friendly. The prices are very reasonable and they had an offer on top of that ! Wouldn't hesitate to return if we lived closer, and would recommend anyone to go there. Noticed they also had a varied range of vegan options (instead of just 1option like some restaurants) . 10/10

We chose this restaurant when staying in Wells to break a journey. To say we lucked out is an understatement. Delicious food, beautifully presented and served by friendly attentive staff. The cost of the meal was very reasonable. If we ever fund ourselves in Wells again on a night that this place opens then we would make a beeline for it.

Our Sunday roast was superb, the place was packed but they still managed a great service and quality food. Well done!

when we arrived at this restaurant we were put off by the entrance which almost made us decide to go elsewhere. Scaffolding which was not erected recently was the first impression we faced but we braved this and I am pleased that we did . We were met at the door by a very warm welcome and directed to our table. The service and enthusiasm of the staff instilled a sense of expectation which was met with a fairly standard menu but the best was to come . The quality and presentation of each course was in my opinion very good and a lot of the local venues could learn a lot from this family run business and this made our visit an A1 event. Well done Courtyard its a shame we live so far away as we would be regular customers. Come on you Somerset people and make this a "must try venue " we gave our visit 10 out of 10

Lovely experience I loved it I would 100 % recommend to a friend

A very good Sunday lunch. Good value for money.

Food was very nice it was a bit cold in the building but good service

First time here today & it was excellent! Very friendly and attentive staff, food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back again!

Excellent service and food at a more than reasonable price. Highly recommended.

We visited this sweet little restaurant tucked away in the courtyard for our meal and had a lovely evening. The two waitresses were friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious, served with generous portions of veg. The restaurant itself was very clean, bright and open with a relaxed atmosphere. I'd encourage everybody to visit ❄

Fantastic food and warm atmosphere. Beautiful artworks and wonderful decor. I'd highly recommend the courtyard for a romantic evening or family meal

What a great restaurant! We ate here on Saturday night and the place was buzzing. We had a lovely meal and the gentle background music was just right. Nearly all the desserts are gluten-free but delicious all the same. Personally I would have liked a slice of brown bread with my salmon roulade starter, but that is my only observation and won't stop me giving 5 stars. The staff are lovely, too.

Had the most fabulous vegan Sunday Roast here with my boyfriend. The food was perfectly presented, with delicate vegetables (including tiny delightful asparagus spears). The place had a lovely atmosphere too. I hope one day I can come back to try the a la carte menu!

A wonderful find in Wells, tucked away, but well worth looking for! Excellent food, well presented and beautifully cooked. A really friendly atmosphere. One of the best evenings of our holiday in Wells! Would thoroughly recommend.

Amazing gluten free choices, good portions, great value, lovely staff and speedy service. Will definitely be back if we're in the area again!

Never had a bad meal or any cause to complain. Lamb shank delicious.

Pound for pound the best restaurant in Wells. Excellent food well presented and exceptional value. Happy to highly recommend this establishment.

We stopped overnight in Wells on the way down to Cornwall.Visited the Courtyard for dinner it was very reasonably priced at £12 for two courses. Good choice of starters and mains, including veg with extras on the blackboard. Portions were generous and served hot. Staff were friendly and accomodating of our needs. Would certainly return when in the area again.

First time and loved it.lovely and cosy surroundings pleasent staff food was lovely and reasonably priced had 3 courses plus some wine all for £21 will definately go back

A wonderful little place set back in n alleyway. Kind of a dark approach but worth the adventure down Dena great meal

Excellent food . Good prices . Excellent service .

Very attractive restaurant including fairy lights and mirrors complimenting modern decor. This works for lunch or evening. The service is attentive and friendly but best of all is the food. Oh yes that is very very good.

What a fantastic place! It is set back off of the road so you might miss it and that would terrible!! A really warm welcome, a fantastic selection on the menu and brilliant value for money with the set menu! The food was gorgeous! My partner had the pork and I went for the salmon... both fantastic! Will definitely be returning on my next visit to Wells! Worth the visit!!
