The Kitchen at Kimbers' in South Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Little holiday trip to Buckthorn Western, cottage owners gave a recommendation to visit Kimbers . We had the ploughman's and the Rubens sandwich. OMG ! the sandwich was delicious 😋, well worth the drive .

The pie just melted in your mouth, no fat or grisle. The mash was fantastic and the gravy out of this world. My friend who is gluten free said the gulten bread was perfect. Finding good quality gluten free is very difficult but this one was lovely. Many thanks to the staff who were friendly and helpful and made our visit perfect.

Great spot to stop if travelling on the A303. We had a lovely pot of tea and an ice cream, and purchased some bread and eggs too. Dogs v welcome. Great views !!

We called in today as we were house hunting in the area. It was lunchtime and we were starving. Three adults and a three year old. Lovely, cheerful staff who gave us excellent service. Food arrived very promptly and was very good quality. We hope to live in this area soon and intend to become regulars when we do.

Excellent quality food and great service. A great farm shop cafe that's hasn't become commercialised and overly expensive.

Fantastic quality meats. I love their support of keeping cash alive as well. So vey important right now. I love their shop!

Saturday brunch. Great menu, swift service and we could take the dog in. More unusual things like shakshuka eggs - yummy!

It was just ok. Not the best breakfast we’ve had. Bread was dry. Sausage had a small piece of bone that I had to remove from my mouth. Chairs sticky. Menu completely different from what is shown on their website. I wouldn’t visit again.

Delicious breakfast! **** (Would of given 5* but uncomfortable wooden chairs and website gave different menu with cheaper prices)

Don’t drive by, this is a hidden secret in Somerset absolutely delicious food and the service excellent. Take a visit to experience the food yourself.

Wonderful choice of food, delightful friendly staff and lovely surroundings to eat in. They have a great log burner when the weather is cold and huge windows that can be opened up in hot weather. Vegan and vegetarian food available too. Couldn't be better.

We went to an evening Game Tasting Event at Kimbers Kitchen. This was a tasting of small plates of various game …rabbit rillettes, pheasant goujons, wild boar ragu with pasta, wild duck breast and venison loin. Everything was expertly cooked, compliments to the chef, and the service was efficient and friendly. We would definitely return for a similar event.

Kimbers never disappoints. The staff are friendly, the service is excellent, and the food is always of a high standard. With a varied menu and generous portion sizes, it is definitely worth a visit.

Very nice pie and quiche but prices are a little high and sizes are what one might call ‘ladies portions’

Attentive staff, excellent service and great grub - a winning combination. Very strongly recommended. Will definitely go back. Thank you.

Three of us and our two dogs, stopped for hot drinks and cakes whilst staying on holiday nearby. Really impressed with the whole experience, staff; food and decor all very good. Enjoyed it so much, we returned for a delicious breakfast on our way back home at the end of our break.

This review relates to the Farm Shop. The restaurant is not open. We have purchased a variety of goods from this shop from meat to fresh vegetables and we have never been disappointed. We are looking forward to the day when the cafe is open again.

Lovely clean friendly environment with welcoming staff. Choose somewhere to sit lots of tables some by the window or comfy sofas by the log burner to choose from. A balanced menu to suit all tastes and smaller choices if you want to have something to hold the hunger back rather than a full meal. We had the meat burger and vegan burger. Very tasty not greasy and lovely crisp fries to accompany it and homemade slaw. I have visited the kitchen at Kimber’s many times with family and friends never disappointed. Food cooked freshly so occasionally you might have a little wait. I highly recommend this for a visit connected to the farm shop and the antique/craft centre makes a lovely afternoon out. I know my parents always want to return when the are back in Somerset.

Came yesterday for lunch with a friend - we had burgers and they were absolutely amazing so yummy and fresh , left some room For cake which were again was beautiful and freshly baked. Lovely food and lovely staff we will be back very soon x

Welcomed by a warm log fire and smiling, friendly staff, our party of four adults and two children were seated at a spacious table. The chairs, as mentioned in earlier reviews, are metal tubular rather like a village hall but nevertheless, they were substantial, bearing my 24 stone body without a creak and still comfortable two hours later. A cheerful younglady took our drinks order and allowed us as long as we needed to decide on the choice of our food. The drinks were, of course, good (Fentemans never fails) and when it came the food was filling and tasty. There is no separate children's menu as the staff will prepare any meal in an appropriately-sized way for a child's appetite. All in all, we spent almost three hours on site and will definitely arrange another family get-together at the Kitchen at Kimber's.

Went here for Sunday lunch . with wife son his wife and my two grandsons . We had pre booked but probably need not have bothered as it was not that crowded. Menus were on the table when we arrived , which I thought was a nice touch and made a change from the "I'll bring them over when I've finished doing this other stuff " sort of attitude . The young man taking the order was very efficient and well informed and again quite a change from some places I visit. Food arrived after 15 minutes All the dishes brought out together. Kids had burger and chips others had lamb stew, quiche, goats cheese and beetroot tart and I had homemade faggot and mashed potato with gravy. ALL THE DISHESWERE SUPERB! every bit as good as some of the snootier places that are now popping up round here . This place is run by a local family, who have obviously gone to a lot of trouble to source top quality fresh local ingredients and by gum it paid off!So excellent food and service , and very reasonable prices . If I had to be really picky and look for something that was less than perfect I would have to say that the place could have done with being a few degrees warmer and the chairs were some old village hall type stacking chairs which might , I suppose be considered "shabby chique" by some folk but with my skinny old backside were not all that comfortable . So would I go back there? Most definitely, but maybe on a warmer day and taking a cushion . ,

Fantastic breakfast. Super service. Will definitely go back. Very quick service and spotlessly clean

What a great place for coffee & cake. Attached to a well stocked farm shop with lovely local produce - unfortunately we were on our bikes so will need to go back....

We had a great breakfast while admiring the view. Warm and friendly place and you can buy some goodies from the farm shop after eating .

I was on my way to Bruton and stopped for a very nice coffee, then explored the adjoining farm shop. There were very tempting cakes on offer but I managed to resist!There is plenty more to explore in the antiques and recycled barn next door.Something for everyone.

I recently had a Sunday lunch here and it was absolutely lovely. Guest chefs Guy and Suzy of Pickers catering gave us a really superb lunch, served with such charm and care, I wondered why I hadn’t been there before! We had really elegant and delicious starters followed by an extremely generous platter of roasted delights. Meats cooked on the barbecue (a tame description of the impressive outdoor cooking station) accompanied by loads of lovely vegetables. We initially sat inside the quirky restaurant, then moved outside to enjoy our puddings, join up with friends we’d seen and just prolong our lovely lunchtime. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday lunchtime - and, you can bring your own wine. What’s not to like!

Went there for afternoon tea with a friend. The tea room is plain and functional, more transport cafe that country tea room. The welcome was less than effusive, the prices high, the food good in parts, the scones were not. An experiment which bears repeating only to see if they pay attention.

Our lunch was superb and superbly presented, entirely home made and nearly from local ingredients. (They have the outstanding Kimbers farmshop as a resource.) They also offer allergen-free alternatives.

There are BLT's and there are BLT's. It takes a generous spirit and good ingredients to construct this dish. At this delightful watering hole I encountered the very best BLT to cross my path in many a long year.

Just had lunch here for the first time. Really friendly, welcoming staff. Home made goats cheese and red onion quiche for me and hubby had gloster spot sosages with creamed potatoes and fresh veg. Very well priced,not expensive and well worth a visit. The cakes looked good as well. Adjoining farm shop sells the farms own meat, sirloin steaks are a must.

We stumbled across this when on a trip to the area and what a hidden gem it is! The food was lovely the service was great. The young boy was efficient and had great attention to detail. All the meat is from the farm and our lunch and cake were so delicious. Highly recommended!

I organised a group of us to go to the February Kimber Sunday lunch and I'm so glad I did! We were warmly welcomed and had a nice big table with lots of space.

Great informal and relaxed atmosphere, with warm welcoming staff. I have dropped in for coffee and cake several times with husband and then took the teenagers in for a weekend lunch - what a success! Good menu with fantastic farm fresh ingredients resulting in a truly delicious meal. It is now the local favourite for all of us. The adjacent farm shop is well worth a visit too - I highly recommend this exciting new venture, just what the area needed. Well done!

We have visited on a number of occasions. Always friendly staff, scrumptious food, and warm cosy atmosphere. Cannot wait for our next visit !!, and to finish off don't forget to pop into the great farm shop.

I visited here first as a treat for my daughters birthday whilst it was very new.

Came here for some lunch with friends hospitality was great and the food was excellent will definitely be eating from here again very well priced as well
