The Pantry in North Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Popped in for a light lunch, and ended up finding a little gem. I ordered the eggs Benedict, eggs were cooked perfectly, lovely and smooth hollandaise, well seasoned. My partner ordered a jacket potato with tuna which she said was lovely. Her stand out favourite was the coleslaw, we both like it when people use thick mayonnaise to make it. All in all, just a lovely simple lunch visit with polite and helpful staff. We will be returning

This place was recommended (by a local tradesperson) and arrived thinking that even if it looks a bit ‘tired’ and slightly unloved, the food is probably the good bit… Staff (front of house) not unfriendly, but clearly a little tired too 🤔. Got a smile when mentioned the recommendation and from who. Asked for cheese & spinach omelette but with salad rather than chips. What a disappointment this was, though will grant them the spinach was fresh. A spoon of (likely bought as opposed to homemade coleslaw) next to badly chopped iceberg lettuce and flavourless tomatoes roughly thrown about. Omelette (for the amount of eggs used) was far too cheesy and very basic in looks and taste. Would have been happy to pay £11.95 for decent food but I’m afraid this offering was below par.

Cold called me claiming to be from vodafone

Our first visit to the village, came in with my husband and father in law, absolutely lovely atmosphere and the ladies were lovely! My husband’s a coeliac and much to our shock they were able to do a gluten free cheese and onion salad and he devoured it. We had the Bakewell Tart Cake… it was incredible. Really enjoyed our visit and it really added something special to our visit!

Absolute credit where it is due! What a beautiful afternoon had by all. I booked this lovely little place for 9 of us to have afternoon tea. The food was delicious, so elegantly presented, sandwiches full with delicious fillings with beautiful fresh bread, scones served with jam and cream and the homemade cake was wonderful!! I highly recommend this lovely establishment, you will receive a warm welcome with the most amazing foods.

We visited for lunch. We sat outside because of the rare sunshire. Service was speedy and friendly-enough. They used stylish classic crockery. Lovely ambience. The panini was okay but rather small with limited accompaniments. The 'full English' was quite generous; the sausages adequate but very odd toast

Delicious home cooked cakes.... I'm in!! Cute, cosy cafe. We'll definitely pop in again 😊

Really disappointed we came here for my birthday lunch 7/3/24 it was our first time visiting. we ordered 2 Bacon & Brie panini’s and a side of fries. We waited 45 mins and then our food came which a cold baguette . I said we ordered a Panini and she said this is what we call panini’s here so that was a real surprise. We would not come back here again very disappointed and the staff could not have cared less.

Very friendly and quaint cafe. The staff were very kind and hospitable. Great menu options that are suited for all types of dietry requirements. My sister and I were very happy with our panini's and freshly made coffee and walnut cake slice. Would highly recommend! :)

Great little cafe nestled in the heart of the village. The ladies are always so welcoming. Gorgeous cakes, brekkie and lunches. Great atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble.

Called in for a takeaway hot chocolate and cake after walking in the area (it's good to support local businesses...). Quick service but very expensive imho. £16.80 for two (not very special - tasted like instant made with boiling water 🙁) hot chocolates and two (not very big) slices of cake. Small, rather 'intimate' café. Not sure I'd have enjoyed 'eating-in'. I'd like to think I was charged the amount I was by mistake...

We had Afternoon Tea which was Superb. Plenty to eat and lovely fresh homemade cakes. Great place to eat and lovely staff too. Highly recommend.

Lovely cakes and coffee.Quick service,sat in sunny courtyard.The food looks amazing

Amazing cakes and delicious food Will definitely going to be returning ♡

Big brekkie & little brekkie ! No complaints about this brekkie, very tasty & quick ! ☀️🌞🕶️ also ladies were lush, love u guys! Mwah!

Served by lovely Louise. Friendly country atmosphere in the Pantry. The cakes were homemade and generous slices. We had coffee and walnut cake with a tasty hot flat white. Not rushed and nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely be going again.

Stopped off on a long cycle ride. Lovely relaxed cafe with the warmest of service. Ample breakfast sandwiches on granary with piping hot coffees. Ideal.

Lovely cafe in a sunny spot. The staff were really helpful and food was great

We turned up as a crowd of 20 after a family wedding, last minute, on a sunday late morning and got an exceptional service that could not be faltered. The brunch was quick to arrive and delicious, staff were friendly and ambiance was idyllic. A gem of a place. Thankyou The Pantry!

A quiet little place just off the strawberry line. Me and my young family had lunch here. The food was ok.

Had one of the best ever breakfasts, cooked to perfection. Also great service. Many thanks

We found this little place by accident while visiting Winscombe as part of a nostalgic trip to our childhood haunts. It was Mother's Day afternoon and the place was busy but we found somewhere to sit outside. Had a good cream tea served on old fashioned proper china. Staff were friendly and the price was reasonable. Would recommend.

Lovely food, cake was delicious and the coffee was good. Quite a small area so can feel a bit snug but lovely little village cafe with good range of options on the menu

A bit cramped and poorly decorated, but this is the first cafe that I've been to that has cooked my breakfast exactly how I like it. Each item was perfect (in my opinion). The prices are about right for a countryside cafe, more expensive than city prices, but definitely worth visiting if you're after a lovely breakfast. Friendly staff & customers.

My husband and I had passed this cafe a few times while staying in the area its tucked away in the centre md Winscombe just on the bend of the road that goes out towards Banwell. At last on our departure day - we got to pay it a visit. So glad we did - we had a warm welcome, a warm quiche just out of the oven and the most fabulous lemon drizzle cake any soul could ask for - we were very torn between that and the Apple pie - homemade and also just out of the oven - we'll have that next time because we will be back at the first opportunity. Also to commend - lovely lady in charge - thank you Also now realise they do Sunday lunches - if only we had known - on this form, I imagine they are lovely - next time though

Came across after walking along part of the Strawberry Line, we had a pot of tea for two & a slice of cake each, lemon drizzle and cherry bakewell, they were delicious

Lovely little cafe and feels great to support local. Pretty reasonable prices, and nice coffee (although the cups were a tad small). Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Lots of lunch options, would be good to come back to. Updated review for 2023 - unfortunately due to cost of living, prices are so high here now :( such a shame! On the other hand, the cups were absolutely huge, although the decaf coffee is sadly leaving in flavor... Such a shame! Maybe I just went on a bad day this time? Still lots of food options although we were just having coffee and it was certainly busy!

After visiting another little tea room in the village and ordering the same items, I found the price to be almost double that I paid at the other premises. The food was good, but in my opinion, it was overpriced.

Lovely service. The ladies there are always welcoming and helpful. The food is excellent and I never mind paying the extra pennies when i go there because I know I'm always happy when I leave. 5 stars everytime.

Really nice little café tucked away in a proper English village :D Staff were very friendly and the food was really good! Couldn't ask for a better service. Would really recommend if you're around!

Great little café with an amazing assortment of quality cakes & excellent lattés!! Lovely friendly service too, highly recommend.

Not my sort of place, ramshackle setup with some grotty chairs out front next to a very busy road, or a cramped inside seating area. Pretty chaotic. Perfectly average coffees (over £7 for two coffees, would a little biscuit be too much to ask), breakfast and food options look good if that's what you want.

Even though booked for 1pm only chicken left when I arrived, very poor. Vegetables over cooked, roast potatoes, some of the worst I have had. Won't eat here again

Lovely little cafe, nice warm welcome on arrival. Food is very nice and of a high standard, reflected in the price, you get what pay for. Looking forward to returning!

Great cafe, really enjoyed the greek salad.

Fabulous little gem of a place that we called at for lunch whilst on a bike ride. Ideally located just off The Strawberry Line. Delicious sandwiches, superb chips and great friendly service. Would highly recommend.

I cannot rate the Pantry At Winscombe highly enough! Always welcoming and more than happy to cater to all dietary requirements. Brilliant staff and service. I used the team from the Pantry to cater for our recent birthday party - 100 guests. The menu was inventive and varied, all communications well received and so accommodating especially as we requested a full vegan buffet! On the night of the party the food arrived exactly at time pre arranged, it was so beautifully presented, tray after tray of delicious food. Unfortunately I didn’t get to take a photos and regret this as it really was a picture to behold, colourful food decorated with edible flowers, so so beautiful. All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was, surprisingly so for our meat eater guests! 100% satisfaction, please do not hesitate to use The Pantry for any events, promise you won’t be disappointed!

A lovely place to meet friends. Tasty homemade food, fantastic cakes and delicious coffee along with very friendly staff what more could you want.

Our favourite village cafe, lovely staff, great choices on the menu. Delicious home made cakes, quiches, scones & more. . I recommend the bacon brie & cranberry toasted sandwich & the lemon drizzle cake- both my favourites. The staff are very adaptable with the menu, if you waht to alter items they're happy to do this. We visit every week, I meet my mum & her friend in there for lunch. Pop in for breakfast, lunch, coffee & cake...highly recommend The Pantry, we've been going in there for years, are regulars.

Went there for a coffee ☕. We where walking the Strawberry line

Me, my parter and son stopped here for a drink and hoping for a bite to eat whislt riding along the strawberry line, we ordered our drinks which came out pretty quickly and staff were attentive. But unfortunately this is where it went down hill for us, the cups, glasses and milk jug we was given were filthy with grease and old crusty milk, my coke had what looked like dried milk floating around in it. When I took my coke back in to let them know, I nearly slipped on the floor where it was so greasy. One lady replace my can of Coke and seemed quite rude as I did not want to order food from there. But upon returning outside I noticed the new can of coke was filthy all around the top. After this we did complain to which a diffrent lady was very apologetic and gave us a refund. Will not be returning due to the lack of cleanliness and hygiene in and outside the premises.

Amazing food, brilliant service and staff! 100% recommended!

Nice panini with cheese and red onion. Staff helpful with gluten free offerings.

Shame it's next to the main road. Otherwise lovely

Friendly staff and lovely cakes

Tea and cake (home made and lush) ....... first time our cycling group stopped in The Pantry....highly recommend......very friendly and attentive to our orders which there was many..... 🚲🚲🚲👍

Great food and great service highly recommend

Great hot coffee and the best cake I have eaten for a long time. Very friendly staff. Will definitely return when in the area but already told others about it

Extremely over priced for what you get. Didn’t get told the price untill we had eaten. Paid almost £30 for 2 medium breakfast’s and 2 juices. Definitely has lost mine and my family’s custom.

Very welcoming, including our dogs. I thoroughly recommend the home-made quiche, coleslaw, salad and chips. Perfect.

Lovely place to get breakfast, lunch or tea, great food, lovely staff, would highly recommend the Pantry.

Just lovely! The ambience is really nice, the staff are very friendly and accommodating and the home made cakes are divine! I've also had a very nice lunch here and at a very reasonable price. They also do yummy takeaway pizzas which I highly recommend.

Had a delicious bacon & egg sandwich with a coffee for breakfast today. Clean, tasty and substantial. Very friendly owners. Wish I didn't have to ride 9 miles each visit but worth it when you get there. Free car park just around the corner.

Lovely cooked breakfast in a cosy cafe.

Great coffee and cake stop just off the Strawberry Line.

Lovely cup of coffee and tea cake. Friendly service.

The coffee may as well have been half a spoon of Nescafé with a pint of warm milk.

Spoilt for choice with delicious cakes - to go with the great coffee ! Top service too !

Lovely mushrooms on today and coffee on a chilly day

Food here is great two ladies that run it were very nice home made cakes amazing

Lovely staff, lovely food love the pantry.

We visited for lunch - good menu choices, excellent food plentiful and well presented, lovely staff - couldn't fault it. (Heartily recommend the chunky chips!!)

Decent breakfast, a little disorganised and not the cleanest...

Lovely little place. Food was amazing. Would definitely visit again

A lovely little cafe with delicious food and drinks and a nice courtyard in which to enjoy them.

Very welcoming, friendly. Excellent food will definitely be returning

Lovely and hearty breakfast! Will definitely revisit!

Very friendly staff, good food, lovely village atmosphere.

I often visit the Pantry for lunch with friends and have been meaning to write a review. I love this place. What makes it so special is the people who work there. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the lady who owns it is just lovely. Today I visited with a friend and I had my favourite - chicken, brie and cranberry panini. It's such a great combo and comes with the tastiest coleslaw and freshest salad. You know when the salad is going to be good when the tomatoes are deep red in colour. My friend had the brie and cranberry sandwich on granary - she was blown away. The bread was cut thick and was clearly fresh in today. And don't get me started on the cakes! i usually have the Victoria Sponge with apricot jam (it's insanely good) but today I went for the lemon drizzle. It did not disappoint. I now can't decide which one is my favourite. The menu inside is varied and they serve breakfast all day. A great cafe, run by caring people and a wonderful ambience. Thank you :-)

Had a fish finger sandwiche with some chunky chips. Reasonably priced and tastes really good. Would definitely stop in again. Worth a small detour form the strawberry line cycle path nearby.

Cute place but glasses out of the dishwasher were a bit mucky. Decent enough food.

friendly staff that were helpful and sorted me with a decent quick hot lunch

A bijou coffee stop with oodles of tasty fare. Well worth a visit.

Lovely coffee, nice and hot, friendly service. Recommend.

Ok very pleasant and courteous staff

Very warm and friendly welcome. Food good and cakes to die for!

Panini's weren't unavailable, instead toasted chicken, brie and cranberry sandwich was excellent. Lime and mint lemonade was memerable although would have preferred it sparkling. Salted caramel sponge 👎disappointing. Although the service was efficient the lady was unfriendly, cold and aloof. Felt she didn't want to meet my eyes.

Went here for food today, it was really nice food, and very food menu choice. They were very good we changed a few things, and they didnt mind. The food was fresh homemade, and very good value. Would definately go again!.

Lovely cup of tea and bacon sandwich sitting out in the sunshine. Fully recommended

Lovely welcome and great service from a very friendly and helpful member of staff. Generous portions and well presented food which was delicious! We would recommend! Only hiccup was the traffic on a busy road .

Called in this morning with my wife, son and his partner for breakfast before driving home to Windsor. Great service and a fantastic full English was enjoyed sitting in the sunshine in front of the cafe. Set us up a treat, thank you.

Great coffee and cakes! Friendly staff! Well worth a visit!

Brilliant food friendly staff excellent service

Had a lovely cuppa here. Staff lovely. Will visit again.

We had a family visit for breakfast, which was served promptly, by very welcoming and efficient staff. The food was beautifully presented, and perfectly cooked. Tea served in bone china cups and saucers and lovely tea pot. However, we did feel that the tables were a little close together. Well worth calling in if you are in this delightful village. We will go again.............we will look forward to it.

Very helpful friendly staff. Great cake and coffee....

Very friendly, clean and lovely full English.

Lovely food great local business

Great home cooked food, served with a welcoming smile. Will be visiting a tad too frequently! iThe best little cafe around. Full marks.

We were pleased to find The Pantry open for lunch on a Tuesday lunchtime, as website said it was closed. Very busy courtyard but great to be able to sit outside, although you have to go in to order and pay. Simple sandwiches done very well.

Good coffee and friendly welcome.

What a wonderful little place in beautiful Winscombe. One of us was at risk of hanger on a Sunday morning jaunt in the country. The Pantry saved our bacon, and the mood, with a lovely cooked breakfast, with great service too. Highly recommended.

Didn’t fancy cooking breakfast at our campsite, quick internet search came up with The Pantry, really enjoyed it and very friendly staff.

Lovely place, pretty setting (free parking nearby and only a few yards of the Strawberry line walk) Delicious breakfast, huge pot of tea, good quality ingredients, perfectly cooked, fast friendly service and very reasonably priced. A real gem, definitely recommend.

Breakfast at The Pantry. Excellent coffee, proper toast ie thick cut granary, top notch breakfast sandwich 👌🏻 Highly recommended. Cakes looked pretty good too but had no room left !

Staying in this part of the country for work, been driving around for ages trying to find somewhere open to have some breakfast before work, passed this place (which was closed), saw a small Co-Op and was resigned to having a supermarket sandwich for breakfast. Parked up and off to one side noticed the slightly open door to this place. Slowly pushed open the door, half expecting to be closed, turns out it was open after all (YES!). Pushed for time so ordered a full breakfast to take away - best thing ever - perfectly cooked bacon, amazing sausages, hash browns, fried egg - everything about this breakfast was awesome.It was destiny all the other places were closed, this breakfast was meant to be!Breakfast so amazing that lost all personal pronouns!

Lovely lunch and the owner was very kind to charge my battery on my electric wheelchair so we could get back to our campsite. Thank so much 💜

In Winscombe maybe 100 feet from the cycle access to The Strawberry Line National Cycle Route 26. Great little find, owned by a terrific couple of young ladies with a great menu at reasonable prices. Very helpful too!

After seeing the sprawling crowds (not observing social distancing) in Cheddar we were delighted to find this charming cafe. The only downside is the proximity to the road (which seems to have a disproportionate number of young drivers in speeding cars!) but that didn’t take away from a lovely hour sat on the terrace in the sun. Club sandwich was delicious as was the chocolate orange cake. Such friendly staff and wonderful service, added to the great food, made this a great find. A fellow customer also said the afternoon tea was as good as it looked!

Love a place where you can go in, order and get a good quality simple breakfast served with in a few minutes.
