The Levels Country Kitchen in Sedgemoor

I am reviewing 2 visits. Our first visit was for a lunchtime sandwich. Our second was for a Sunday lunch. Our lunchtime sandwich was a lovely experience. We sat in the main area of the cafe which was calm, light and airy, nice atmosphere and service. The sandwich was very good, fresh and plentiful. The Sunday lunch was served in what I would call the conservatory. It was very cramped and busy. The air conditioning was turned up way too high, but was turned off on request. The Pynes roast beef was very nicely presented but ruined by over use of garlic. The cutlery wasn't suitable as the knife didn't really cope with the beef, even though it was perfectly cooked. The dessert was delicious, I had blackberry and apple pie. On payment, we tried to use a voucher which had been given as a present. There had been a problem with the system back in June,which had cost The Levels a considerable amount of money. They said that they had sent emails to everyone explaining the problem. Our son checked, but found no trace of any email. He had however had the amount of the voucher refunded a few days after purchase. We paid for the meal, but felt a bit let down by the whole experience. Also one W.C. for male and female for a whole restaurant is not adequate.

Amazing food and service, highly recommended. Pork pancetta for Sunday lunch was incredible

It was all right, although the flatbread needs to be toasted or grilled first (doesn't need to be served warm). Main issue, was the service was very slow. They might have been short staffed, although the place wasn't full

Set in the grounds of a spa/small holiday complex, this was a peaceful venue. Food was delicious with excellent portions. Spotless and tastefully decorated.excellent friendly service.

Came for a birthday brunch…food was sensational, as was service. Very tasty tea and coffee…a gem of a find!

We just stopped for a quick lunch, of course we hadn't booked but very lucky to get a table outside as its only dog friendly outside. Grabbed a menu and it was a easy choice Korean chicken and it arrived very quickly, it was a lovely day with lovely views of the Somerset Levels. Next time we intend to stay longer but obviously we need to pick a sunny day.

We had an excellent lunch here yesterday. Service was prompt and food delicious with a lovely crisp salad and cheesy chips. We had a fish selection bowl. Staff both attentive and friendly nothing too much trouble. We shared a brownie, chocolate sauce and ice cream sweet that was excellent. Coffee great too. Throughly recommend this place and we’ll certainly be returning! Thank you❤️❤️

Excellent food and service but not the place to go if you want views of the levels

We had quiche of the day, and breaded fish cougons. Excellent

We had a very good lunch, plenty of choice from their 'different' menu and all reasonably priced. The service was very good, food attractively presented, so a very enjoyable time.

Had a fantastic breakfast here and a great coffee. Will definitely go again!

Popped in on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised, had the burger and fries. The burger was amazing so tasty and you could tell it wasn't from the freezer, definitely will be paying another visit. Lovely surroundings and very relaxing, coming next week for spa treatments, so will be in for lunch.

This cafe came highly recommended and did not disappoint! Easy to book, the cafe has a modern but traditional style, with a great range of food, served by lovely staff! We will be back!

We visited for breakfast on Saturday 1 June. We had not booked and it was quite busy but we received a friendly greeting and shown to a table. The food did take a while but that was no problem, we could see food coming out for fellow diners so clearly the kitchen was working through all the orders. I ordered Eggs Benedict with a side of fried Halloumi. It was delicious, served on warmed plates and piping hot. Probably the best eggs Benedict I have tasted! My husband had the Shakshuka - it was spicy - as he likes it. Just a slight criticism - it is described as being "oven baked eggs". It was in fact one poached egg! All in all, a very nice place for a quality breakfast. Just one issue with the parking - we cycled and we could not find any provision for parking and locking bicycles.

Lovely food, great staff enjoyable experience

We had made a table reservation for today at 10.30 we arrived and we were sat straight away a lady came and took our drinks order and informed us there was a 15 minute wait for food which we said that's fine. We ordered 1 waffle,1 rocky Road pancake stack and 2 breakfast stacks it took 1 hour and 10 mins for the food to come if we had been told the correct waiting time we would have chosen not to order and gone elsewhere. There was no apology for the delay due to the poor service and delay in foid we won't visit again.

This is a great restaurant for breakfast and lunch, slightly off the beaten track but well worth the journey. We had Sunday lunch today, the food was lovely and nice to see seasonal vegetables for a change, the vegetarian option was also good. Also one of the best onion rings ever which has no place on a roast but wax very tasty

Great Sunday roast. Will certainly return

Very welcoming venue. Staff very polite & made our visit special.

Nothing good to say, Food was definitely not up to what I thought it would be. Second time visiting and decided to try again. First time wasn't up to much either. Shame as a lovely location. Young girl serving was uninterested and looked bored. Coffee was bitter.

Great place , yummy food , nice menu , friendly staff

My first visit here & it very nice. Had quiche & salad & a latte. Food & coffee were delicious. Would recommend booking as there are limited tables.

We had a lovely Sunday roast here today delicious the only downside was we waited 40minutes for the food but worth waiting for thank u

Can not fault this place. It is set in a beautiful village and the countryside views are stunning. The food is generous and the customer service friendly and caring. Pet friendly by sitting outside. The Sunday lunch is outstanding.

The food tasted amazing, the portion sizes were quite large though. The service was great once we we seated, and the waitresses were all super sweet and lovely. The only annoying thing was that the place closed at 4pm. The onion rings are the best I've ever had

Super lovely food, staff couldn't be more helpful! Great experience!!

Great roast dinner. Wife had beef I had pork. Very enjoyable good price,great food + pudding Very busy because it's good. Book to avoid disappointment

Sunday roast was amazing. Staff very helpful, lovely atmosphere, clean and tidy.

Went today with a group of friends. Food was absolutely 💯 % delicious. Catered for every need. Brought a slice of chocolate cake to take home. Enough for 2 people, but I ate it all myself 😁. Will definitely be returning. Don't change anything its absolutely perfect 👌

Very nice place. The staff was really nice and the atmosphere was excellent and calm. The food was really good and tasty. We had the wrap of chicken and bacon that was amazing and the burger with onion rings and chicken was absolutely perfect. To end the lunch we had 2 cakes of the week which are really big and generous and also really soft and sweet.

Overall great experience for a day out for lunch. Prices are reasonable and the food is tasty. I had the chicken burger and the chicken was slightly burnt but nothing crazy. The skin on fries were well made.

Wonderful high tea this afternoon. One of the party was GF. All food was delicious, service was great and venue superb. Thank you.

This is a surprisingly good food stop located in the Somerset levels. It is part of a health spa complex and offers a wide menu at competitive prices. Well worth a visit and certainly expect to be returning in the future.

Very bright and clean restaurant in the middle of the levels. Went to celebrate my dad's birthday as parents had previously enjoyed brunch here. Not a great selection for lunch and if you didn't like mushroom the 2 seasonal quiches (which on the plus were homemade but a bit bland) were off the menu for you. Had the fish and chips - very greasy however the minted mushy peas were lovely. No ice offered for cold drinks that were not cold. No Piccalilly for the egg and chips and missing a dessert off the menu. Chips added to a main when potatoes were requested and ice cream on the dessert when cream was asked for however when pointed out cream was provided much to mum's delight. Overall, speed of service was pretty standard for freshly prepped and servers were very polite even if their hearing was a little off!! Haven't tried the breakfast menu but my parents were more impressed with that than the lunch. Would try again and give the restaurant a second chance - prices for main dishes reasonable but a bit high for the sides.

A great selection of excellent food and beverages. Very friendly and helpful staff. It's a bit of the beaten track, but we'll worth the effort. Highly recommended.

Lovely food for a very reasonable price and a stunning location. Parking is limited on sunny days so get there early!

We arrived at 2.15pm to a half empty restaurant and were turned away as they were fully booked. It is a modern building and very quiet, but unfortunately we were unable to sample what was on offer.

Friendly staff and generous portions. My only concern is that it is not a wheelchair-friendly venue.

Great food at a reasonable price. Nice surroundings. Friendly and helpful staff.

Unfortunately the service was not good. Had to keep finding a server, having to repeatedly ask for menus, had to remind them we only got 2 out of 4 coffees ordered. Waitress clearing the table when one of our party was still eating and leaning over that person to get a plate.

Went for a breakfast and I have to say everything was perfect. I would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic breakfast here recently. Brilliant service and friendly polite staff. Stunning location. Dog friendly garden. We will certainly be back. Highly recommended!

Only had coffee but great little place

A pleasant café on the edge of a quiet rural village. Food and drink are reasonable.

Just great. Staff are friendly and helpful.

I have eaten here before when visiting the spa and found it to be perfectly acceptable; a nice cafe serving a reasonable selection of freshly prepared food. It can get rather busy and noisy inside and the service can be a bit hit and miss again when it's full but it's a nice little destination. Today I arrived at 3.05pm, having arranged to meet a friend for a quick coffee and checking the website before we set off for our mutual 30 minute drives to meet in the middle. The website and the notice on the door both said 10am-4pm, there were at least three members of staff still inside when we arrived. There was no notice on the door explaining the early closure and all the staff studiously avoided making any eye contact with us as we tried the locked door. It is very disappointing when you make the effort to patronise a local business and they ignore you, having changed their publicised opening hours without explanation or apology. Fortunately we were able to go 15 minutes up the road to an alternative cafe and enjoy a lovely coffee and cake at a business who had stayed open to their publicised 4pm closing time.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere. First visit and I was very impressed. Quick service, beautiful food. Will certainly be going back.

Food freshly prepared, staff and surroundings pleasant.

Tasty breakfast. Beautiful cake and coffee. Friendly staff. Very clean place. Thank you

Lovely staff and really good food. We had lunch which was great value, highly recommended.

It's OK, we had a table for 5. Staff didn't know their menu very well and had to check with the kitchen. It was busy with 2 large parties having baby showers so the staff did do well but need to learn how to put food on a table, ie from behind a client not lean across them, I even had an elbow touch my cake. 2 of us had fish and chips we asked for ordinary peas, not minted pea puree, which they kindly accommodated. The fish was small, hidden in a lot of batter. Coffee was good, not much cake left to choose from on a Saturday lunchtime. It's OK if you're in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip.

We went to celebrate my husband's birthday on recommendation but we were quite disappointed especially as we had travelled some distance. Having said that, I think although we had made a booking it was very unfortunate in a way that they were very busy. Thus quite a few of the things we originally ordered had sold out even to the coleslaw which accompanied most dishes. The food came out intermittently - again yes, we were a party of 7 but 20 minutes elapsed from the first person getting their food to the last person being served theirs, minus coleslaw which again some of us had but not enough for the whole of the party. Having said this, the food was very nice and it was kindly acknowledged when we went to pay that we had had to wait. I'm not sure that we would go back again considering the distance we travelled and the fact I wanted it to be special for my husbands birthday and I would say due to the whole experience it was just mediocre and I felt very disappointed.

Went for a 60th family birthday lunch, good service and food served quickly.

Most excellent! Friendly staff, very polite and helpful. We were a party of 7 and had 5 different meals with desserts. Every meal was delicious, fresh and tasty ingredients. Throughly recommend the meals here.

Absolutely delicious. Thoroughly recommended.

Had a fab lunch there yesterday. Ham, cheese and onion marmalade sandwich served with fries and salad. Oh what a joy. So tasty. Pot if tea brill (usually I find tea in restaurants is too weak) this was just right. The two ladies serving were lovely polite, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you so much.

Sadly disappointed with the High Tea. We booked for a birthday celebration yesterday and basically only got half what is advertised on the menu. The savouries should have consisted of chedder profiteroles and chilli jam, champagne and wild mushrooms tarts and onion and feta mini tartlets all sounds lovely but we only got the mini onion tartlets. Also there should have been a choice of cake being Victoria sponge and apple cake we only got the Victoria sponge. Was also disappointed with the fact that as. There was 13 of seated on a long table it would have been nice to have the scones and onion tartlets on plates at each end of table and one in the middle so that it was easy for everyone to get at. As it was all scones were on one plate at one end of table and tarts and the other which meant it felt more like a buffet rather than a sit down afternoon tea. However in saying all that what we did have was nice but on the basis that we effectively only had half the menu I would not order a high tea again or recommend it.

Lovely relaxed place, great for brunch and lunch. Friendly staff and good locally sourced food.

Fantastic food and service. Tis rare to find somewhere that does a Ploughman's with both Ham and Cheese together as standard (in my experience its usually one or the other.) Not just 1 cheese either. Good portions, quality and tasty food. Only dripped 1 star because I felt the music could've been a little quieter (I'm sure they would have accommodated if I'd asked though.)

Nice food and staff - dog friendly in the outside area

Good place for Lunch on the levels

Had a lovely lunch with my friend. I had Somerset Brie, streaky bacon and cranberry on toasted brown bread. It was called a melt....but not what we call a melt....then for dessert I had chocolate brownie and Ince cream which was absolutely delicious...I drank apple and rhubarb presse which was very tasty. My friend had a roast beef ploughman's lunch then toffee pudding with ice cream. I gave her my chips as I don't usually eat them. She said they were very tasty. Would definitely visit again. I enquired about the spa but apparently it is up a lot of steps and as I'm disabled with difficulty in walking it is of limits for me which is a shame :(

A delicious breakfast and lovely helpful waitress. Will definitely be back.

Great lunch will definitely go back

Had a beautiful lunch here today, fresh and super tasty!

Brunch on a Monday..had the vegan breakfast very nice quick friendly service and in a very nice area..recommended

Beautiful setting, delicious food and fabulous and friendly service highly recommend

The best afternoon tea ever...and I've had 'tea at the Ritz' in London....wonderful food and just that little bit different in the savoury choices....I waddled out...🤣

Great cup of coffee in lovely surroundings. Thankyou.

We were disappointed that we only had the cakes, and not the full English (something we tend to judge a café by!) as it looked amazing. The cakes were fantastic however, so it wasn't all bad, Coffee and Walnut certainly hit the spot, and the Victoria Sandwich was moist. We even had money left over from a Christmas gift voucher, and unable to give money back, we took two pieces of Oreo cake home with us in a little doggy bag. The tea was refreshing and strong, and the pot easily gave us two cups each, and my sons had coffee. I wondered if the milk was organic as it appeared very creamy and lush!. The décor is smart and modern, there's plenty of room, but above all else the service was wonderful. I think it was the manager who served us, and she met us with big smiles, friendly chit chat, and a very positive attitude. Her attention to detail was refreshing (she mopped up a little coffee spill in the saucer, and went and got a clean one, whilst wiping the bottom of the cup, and apologising) and she simply had a "can do/nothing is too much trouble" approach. As we were leaving we noticed that they did large breakfast baps, which we may have next time as it will be more cost effective for my tribe than seven individual breakfasts. My wife loves it here, and this was my first time, so we will definitely be back, kids in tow, to enjoy more than just cake. Thank you guys, our visit set us up for the day!

What a find superb, had cream tea with friends, delicious

Lovely setting very good food and friendly staff.

Fabulous place, excellent food, staff and atmosphere

Awesome friendly staff and a cracking breakfast 😊

Lovely cafe with very friendly staff. Good size portion for the veggie breakfast.

Delicious cakes and tea with a great welcome. In the middle of countryside that is ideal for walking or cycling.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Welcoming, food was lovely. Big plates. Enjoyed our meal, first time visiting.

Delicious and copious chicken Caesar salad. The sticky toffee pudding couldn't be faulted. Plenty to eat. Lovely service. Gorgeous place with some very nice pieces of painting decorating the place. Looking forward to coming back to try another piece of the large menu.

Beautiful location for a gathering of up to 25 people in their BBQ Hut. Delicious high tea. Makes a memorable occasion.

First class .spotless. tasty. And friendly. Thank you.

Wonderful place to eat. Three of us had the burger which tasted amazing. Lovely team made for a very enjoyable lunch.

We hosted my friends baby shower here on Saturday and had the high tea for 13 people in the private room off the side of the main cafe/restaurant. We couldn’t recommend the Levels Country Kitchen more. The staff were amazing and the food was lovely! Couldn’t be more helpful and welcoming and the mum to be had a great time. Thank you all so much! Molly x

Great place excellent breakfast freindly helpful staff.

Went here for lunch today with my sister and have to say its the best place ive eaten at in a long time. Varied menu, reasonably priced, cosy surroundings and lovely staff. I would wholeheartedly reccomend a visit.

A jewel of a place. Went for lunch one day having seen excellent reviews and even though we hadn't booked a table, we were welcomed and had excellent service and a delicious lunch. Noticed they did Afternoon High Tea and booked to return the following week. This to was excellent and very good value for money. The only downside for us was the level of music being played which was too much for our liking, so we'll probably stick to sitting outside.

Really good food. A hidden gem.

Fantastic food and lovely friendly service

Located on the same site as Windmill Retreat, The Levels Country Kitchen is a wonderful restaurant not just for those staying on site, but also for if you are in the area or passing through. The menu had a good range of choices to suit a variety of tastes with excellent takes on staple dishes. The food was delicious, well presented and generously portioned. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and very patient with our kids who asked a million questions. They're open for brunch/lunchtime dining though I would hope the hours are eventually extended to cater for breakfast and dinner sittings. The Levels Country Kitchen is far more than just a café, but an excellent gastro establishment in its own right. Very highly recommended.

Lovely little place, food was amazing and staff are friendly.

Very very nice. Food was lovely and the staff looked after us very well. Would recommend to others

Beautiful setting, friendly staff, great service, lovely menu fresh cooked food, locally sourced.

Had the best roast dinner as a takeaway. Everything was perfect

Lovely food, lovely setting, friendly staff

What a fantastic place. This magnificent restaurant is in beautiful setting. The staff are amazingly friendly and polite. We enjoyed really good quality food in a lovely atmosphere. I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks

Wonderful food, great service. Amazing atmosphere!

Lovely lunch. All social distancing and precautions in place, very clean. Will be back

Lovley place food and spa great staff immaculate place

Excellent breakfasts. Covid19 compliant to a high standard. Cutlery properly wrapped, tables cleared and cleaned properly. Popular and deservedly so.

A lovely venue, had a cracking breakfast with the family today, the smashed Avocado is epic and the team were really polite and friendly. Will definitely be going again soon.

The Levels Country Kitchen is well worth a visit the staff are friendly and polite the place is very pleasant and clean.
