The Tollgate, Dyrham in South Gloucestershire

A great little stop off for tea and cake with fantasic views to the Welsh Hills on a clear day. The warm scones are delicious and reasonably priced.

Without a doubt the best stay I have had for years. I was met with a friendly and smiley receptionist called Saran who answered every question I had straightaway. The room was homely and had everything I needed. I will certainly be staying again

Have visited the Tollgate on many occasions and always had a good experience. However, today after a Bath hospital visit my wife and I went to the Tollgate for a treat only to be turned away at the door by the waitress informing us they were now closed this was despite open signs being on display and the website advertising opening hours until 4pm. Currently with businesses in recovery is it acceptable to turn away £20 - £30 worth of afternoon tea business 20 minutes before the advertised closing time? Not to mention the lost revenue when we don't return and the lost revenue when we inform family and friends not to go unless its at least an hour before closing. An explanation to clarify what constitutes their actual closing time in order to save wasted trips and fuel would be nice, is it 4pm weekdays or is it like a pub where 'last orders' are 30 minutes before closing.

What a fantastic find on our way home from a weekend in Bath. The afternoon tea was divine. Beef and horseradish finger sandwiches, fruit scones with jam and clotted cream and a homemade cake to boot. Left feeling satisfied and ready for the journey home. Lovely service, lovely food and amazing view. Highly recommend!

Worst experience I have ever had. Wanted coffe told we would have to be quick. Then waited ages to be served. By the most aggressive women. Dirty overcrowded. Won’t be back.

Lovely breakfast with really good ingredients. The sausages and bacon were of the highest quality. Service was very friendly. My only, tiniest of niggles was that the conservatory was a little ‘fresh’ and needed another heater to feel homely.

Waited 45 minutes for our food, jacket potato had hardly any filling. Toasted sandwiches were ok but could have been cooked a bit longer. Was cold inside. Staff friendly.

Visited the Tolgate today for breakfast after a few days break away in nearby Bradford in Avon. We’ve driven past the Tolgate many times and always fancied popping in, so today we did. We were sat in the conservatory area which was very nice, just a tad cold but the outside temperature was near 0. Our order was taken almost immediately, two hot drinks, a breakfast and eggs Benedict. A friendly couple then sat on the table next to us and ordered their food around five/ten minutes after we had. Shortly after, the hot drinks came and not long after that the couple on the table next to us had their two breakfasts brought to their table. Some time had past and our breakfast still hadn’t arrived, we had been waiting around half an hour. There was one other table with two people on it in the tea room so it wasn’t particularly busy. After forty minutes of waiting for breakfast, I approached the kitchen as I couldn’t find a server and asked the chef about the breakfast. He informed me that the order had never been given to him. We were travelling back to wales and didn't want to waste anymore of the day so unfortunately wasn’t able to wait any longer for the kind chef to cook the food for us. The female waitress and male chef were both very apologetic and I believe this was an accident, however did spoil our visit.

Having planned to spend this mid-week morning at the nearby Dyrham Park we had reserved a table here for lunch. We were both hungry after a good 2-hours walk around the Park’s gardens. This small café-restaurant is right on the A46 between Bath and the M4 at Junction 18. The views towards East Bristol are expansive, and it was a beautifully clear day. This was our first visit to an eatery in 2022. It was also well-overdue for this restaurant; as it is located on the main A46 route to the M4 from both Bath and East Bristol. Both my partner and I have driven-past this place hundreds of times, having lived in the area, in my case, for most of the last 40 years. Today our table was reserved for 13:30 and we arrived a good 15 minutes early (not a problem) and had a short wait whilst our table was cleared and cleaned from the previous occupants. We studied the menu and both decided on a ‘Berry Go Round’ smoothie and then the beef burger. Sadly, the smoothies were ‘off the menu’, but the burgers were thankfully not. My partner opted for no burger bun, whereas I had the ‘full-fat’ version. Our coffee and non-alcoholic drinks were soon served - the coffee was good and strong, and my sparkling rhubarb and apple water was excellent. The burgers arrived after a reassuring wait (thus indicating that they had been cooked to order). The burgers were served hot with raw and caramelized onions, leaves and tomatoes plus 3 good crisp onion rings. The brioche bun I enjoyed allowed me to eat from my hand whereas my partner had to use cutlery. We both agreed that we have rarely had a more moist, tender and tasty burger: it was fabulous. Slightly pink and so juicy, and the chips were good too. It is unusual for me to order a burger, but today it just appealed (maybe my sixth-sense told me?) Service was excellent and charming. The conservatory was a bit cold, but we were suitably dressed and warm from our walk, so that didn’t affect us. This is a very pleasant eatery; maybe ‘pleasantly quirky’ but much to be enjoyed. We will be back and it will be difficult not to have another of those wonderful burgers!

We booked for breakfast and so glad I did as it was very busy and most tables were reserved. We were in the original toll gate section so it was warm and cosy. Lovely breakfast, good choice and will call again.

Wow what a beautiful place. The bedroom was perfect, warm and cozy, had a fridge and a good selection of tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The bed and pillows where so comfortable I fell fast asleep! The how’re was just right and kept in feel with the old farm house vibe. The staff where so warm and friendly. The boss even getting up early to make me breakfast before I started work. What more can you ask for in customer service. I’d highly recommend. As the whole place has a great vibe to it. If definately stay again x

On Friday 19th Nov I telephoned to book a table for 3 at 12 noon for lunch on Tuesday 23rd Nov. This was achieved with some difficulty, as the number at the foot of each menu page is disconnected. (I pointed this out to the gentleman I spoke to, who in fact telephoned me back to confirm where I had seen it). On arriving today, we were told there was "no hot food" as the chef was off. Apparently this happens most Tuesdays. After traveling 50 miles to meet a relative, this was extremely disappointing, as on a cold day we were looking forward to hot food. There is nothing on the Website to say no hot food on Tuesdays! It reduces the menu by over 50%, leaving sandwiches, and baked (microwaved) potatoes. On the positive side, the staff were very apologetic and understanding. Gave us complimentary scones! The food we had (sandwiches and cake) was excellent. We normally call in for coffee when passing, and though lunch would be good. Very disappointed. Why were we not told of the absence of hot food when we booked!!!!!!

Had lunch here this week. We were seated in the conservatory which was very cold. I’m sure in the summer it would be lovely but not early November without heating! I didn’t like the plastic tablecloth’s but they had been cleaned before we sat down. However, the menu was very extensive and we were delighted with the food. We waited a long time to get service in between courses which wasn’t ideal, I think they must have been short staffed. I’d like to visit again to see if we have a better experience.

Two months ago, our daughter booked for Sunday lunch today as part of our family weekend, eight of us. We arrived today only to be told that they were fully booked. When we said that we’d booked 2 months ago, the reply was, ‘Well, I’ve only been here a month”!! The staff made us feel unwelcome, tried to cram us all into a tiny room at the end where a staff member was eating their lunch. No offer to help with the pushchair down the steps, no apologies for totally missing our reservation; in fact, we were made to feel as though we were a major inconvenience. We left in disgust. We ended up in the local Rose and Crown, where we were made very welcome and, although fully booked, the staff went out of their way to fit us all in for an absolutely delicious roast lunch.

Popped in for breakfast and was very glad we did. Good welcome and comprehensive breakfast choices. Excellent coffee and a good size! Waitress was very helpful and although service was not speedy (they were very busy so cant complain). Breakfast was really well cooked and delivered hot to the table (not always the case) Full English was enough for me although the Big Boy Breakfast was very tempting!

I had the most gorgeous roast but my daughter and her boyfriend didn't fancy roast so the chief very nicely offered to cook whatever they liked, they had amazing food as well brought to us very quickly. Highly recommend

Booked a few weeks ago for lunch after a walk. Part of our group (non walkers) arrived first to find the place closed for a wedding. They should have let us know!!!

I've passed this place many a time over the years and often thought I should factor-in a stop here one day when visiting the area. I finally did...and quite quickly wished I'd driven past it like I did all the other times! It's a very...

Having passed by many times and liked the look of it, we decided to stop on a sunny afternoon, the place was busy but we were greeted pleasantly, and were told where to go to sit outside. After a reasonable wait our order was taken,...

We had a family meet up for lunch. The cafe was very busy but our table was held despite us being late and the staff were efficient and helpful. Food was good and the views are great.

We visited here with my family and our two dogs. The staff were lovely, food was served quickly and was delicious. The views were beautiful. Reasonable price. Will definitely be back!

Had breakfast here this morning, simply lovely, can highly recommend the Tollgate, gorgeous place, stunning food, Nuff said, can't wait to return 10/10

An excellent experience. We pre-booked for lunch Just a short journey from the M4. Very welcoming staff and a socially distanced marquee for eating with nice views over rolling hills an added bonus. Food was hot as it should be but isn't always, it was...

If your looking for that little something extra special then this is the place. Took my grandparents here for a meal and they loved it. It’s not your typical restaurant feel but definitely restaurant quality.

We used “The Extra Mile” guide to find The Tollgate. It was an excellent choice for a lunch stop away from the motorway. We rang ahead to book a table, and managed to arrive on time. We had a table in the conservatory with the...

Lovely food and coffee. Delightful staff. It's now open in the evenings so definitely worth a visit.

Customer Service Poor! Whilst entering The Tollgate we had to wait 8 minutes before we were approached by someone, where we asked if there were any tables free. Instead of being greeted by a simple ‘Hello’ instead it was a ‘wash your hands’ and ‘we...

Saw this on our way from Longleat. Lovely little restaurant with beautiful views over the countryside. We ordered pizza's and a salmon salad. All the food was freshly prepared and very tasty. Also had a slice of the toffee apple cake which was lovely, as...

Lovely food and fantastic service. We thoroughly enjoyed the views last night despite being overcast. This is my second visit and have thoroughly enjoyed both occasions. A super place to eat, drink and relax!

Stopped for lunch on our way to Devon. Lovely old building.. we had the brunch menu. Excellent porridge and eggs. Nice teas and coffees. Charming view from the back.

Pulled up with family to this lovely looking restaurant and shown to our table with the lunch menu. All is good and light lunch menu is perfect before our journey home. Left for 20 mins why we decided what we wanted - perfect - waitress took order and when ordering Mac and cheese for my son the waitress had to check with the chef they still had some. Waitress returned 10 mins later to say that nothing on the lunch menus she had given us was available and were only doing roasts dinners. I get restaurants are only just opening back up but you would of thought the dipsy waitress would have enough brain cells to know what menus she is working with. I am sure the food is lovely so this rating is purely down to the waitress! Service station it is then

Can’t rate these Pizzas highly enough! Fabulous choice of takeaway food throughout the various lockdowns over the last 14 months. Should you chose to eat in the views from the paddock are amazing.

Outstanding food was enjoyed on our first family outing. We were able to sit at a safe distance but enjoy the company of our family. The first time out together in over a year. Would high recommend a visit

We had a delicious Sunday lunch for 6, the service was very good and the waiting staff were very pleasant and helpful - offering to take a group photo for us which was nice. We will definitely return, we saw the afternoon tea which also looked amazing!

We visited to celebrate our wedding anniversary with the family- we pre ordered the food. Service was fantastic, food was really fresh and yummy! Views perfect- such a lovely spot! We shall definitely be returning.

Although I had passed without taking notice before, I actually found this lovely little place thanks to Google maps. It’s absolutely lovely and our savoury cream teas were utterly delightful. It was a very cold and blustery day, but the garden is sheltered and we were nice and warm. Service was good and it would be lovely to go again if the opportunity presents itself.

We've been getting takeaways throughout lockdown and recently had a meal outside. The staff are lovely, the food does not disappoint and the views are amazing.

Cannot recommend this lovely little place enough.The food always seems like it’s been prepared with a little extra touch of care and detail and it shows in the taste and presentation. The staff are always friendly and welcoming to the point it feels more like eating in someone’s house as a guest. If this wasn’t enough you are also free to enjoy the amazing panoramic views from the garden of Bristol and Bath as it stretches out into the Severn vale and on a clear day even the Severn bridges into Wales.

My first chance since lockdown eased to meet a friend for lunch and as always the food was very nice and the staff very friendly. Outdoor dining only at present but when the sun is shining it's great to look across to the Severn Estuary and the Black Mountains.I'm looking forward to the time when breakfasts will be available again as I am particularly fond of the vegetarian option!

Visited on an evening for tea with my young daughter and friend and we sat outside. The food is always gorgeous! I had a goats cheese salad and my friend had a chicken caesar salad whilst my daughter had ham, egg & chips. We also shared some sweet potato chips. We also had home made scones with jam and cream which were just delicious. Good selection of drinks both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. The view is always brilliant as well. The staff and management are really lovely. Well worth a visit or ten as never been disappointed by the service, standards or quality all round.

The food is delicious. The view is amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful. A really good place to visit.

The view is spectacular, if a little exposed. The scones were fresh, warm and generous and the amount of cream was very generous too. The coffee blend is very pleasant. Outside seating only as everywhere at the moment, but clearly signed, spaced and recently updated. Would definitely return.

Booked for a lunch visit as I had never been before and we were taking a stroll around Dyrham Park afterwards. Enjoyed a lovely lunch in the sun with some amazing views. Very friendly and helpful staff and good social distancing in place.We will definitely be wanting to try a sunset tea at some point and the takeaway pizza sounds worth trying out too :)

We visited the Tollgate on a Sunday afternoon for a roast with a view, and it did not disappoint! Beautiful Sunday dinner in the garden, sheltered from the wind behind the wall in the sunshine. Great service and lovely afternoon.

Highly recommend, visited twice now and will definitely be going back again. Amazing food and the staff are so friendly!

Had a delicious pizza here on Friday evening while watching the sunset. Friendly service, tasty food and great views. What more can you want! Ive just booked to go again this week and can't wait!

Every time we have visited this wonderful tea room we have had exceptional service and the food has always been fantastic. We chose to come here for our first family outing this year, while covid19 restrictions start to lift. We booked outdoor seating to which we were promptly directed to on arrival by a very welcoming member of staff. The seating is situated in such a way that you aren't too close to other people so we felt safe. Staff wear masks at all times and were very quick to serve us. We didn't have to wait very long for drinks or food. As always, the outdoor views are breathtaking. Special mention to the head chef. The food tastes amazing. Highly recommended. 10/10 from us during every visit. Can't wait to return!

Yummy TOP quality pizzas and delicious sweet potato kebabs! The best take away experience so far - definitely recommend :)

Visited many times and I have to say that The Tollgate is my favourite, not only for food but to spend my free time in too! Beautiful and delicious full english breakfast with spectacular views out in the garden, it's the perfect spot during summer! Service is always kept at its best despite the busy time. All Staff and the chef are so friendly, they always makes you feel so welcomed! This place is a must to visit!

I have driven past the venue many times before discovering the real beauty inside this old charming restaurant. It's quite easy to miss as it's located in the middle of no where, however that's what makes it so special. If you previously visited you will know exactly what I mean. -The food is very tasty and presented like at a high end restaurant, traditional English cuisine really reflects on the history and atmosphere of the building, creating a long lasting experience. I have visited with my grandmother during the pandemic once everything has opened up for a few months, I have to say she is a very fussy lady, but I can't thank enough for creating a safe and a clean environment not only for her but for all returning and new customers, It's been really hard to make her feel comfortable during this horrible time. She has enjoyed the food and the whole experience overall, the scones were fresh and probably the best we have ever had. Big thank you to the whole Tollgate team, we can't wait to visit you soon.

Visited many times, always warm welcome and excellent food and service. Takeaway pizzas 1st class. Once fully open again will be back 👍

Great service, fab food and so glad Tollgate have been open for takeaway......good to help local businesses. Can’t wait for full opening, sitting and seeing the amazing views.

Fabulous village tea shop, recommend you book as can be busy. Lovely home made cakes Many thanks for girls

I had visited The Tollgate on multiple occasions before lockdown and enjoyed fantastic food every time! I’ve even been back during lockdown and the takeaway pizzas are just as delicious as I expected. I would really really recommend a visit to The Tollgate!

Had a takeaway for the first time and it was excellent. The falafel was so soft and tasty and the pizza was amazing. Will definitely be going back again and can't wait actually go there for a sit down once everything is back to normal

Booked at the last minute for 5 people, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We had the last booking which was 3.30. I was a bit worried that some things might have run out, but the full menu was still available. We all elected for the Sunday lunch. Choices of pork,beef or chicken all served with traditional veg. My beef was excellent and so too were the other roast dinners. Total bill for 5 incl drinks and coffee, £90. All very reasonable. Will definitely be going back.

What a find! Driving up into The Cotswolds and came across this restaurant in the middle of no where. Fantastic place. Lovely inside and out with views or over the fields and plains towards Bristol.We had the full English breakfast which was absolutely delicious. Beautifully cooked and seasoned to perfection. I enjoyed every mouthful.When we went to pay we saw all the fantastic home cooked cakes which looked very appetising.

Booked a table for lunch / afternoon tea as an alternative stop en route home back from a holiday in Wales.I understand that they had a few challenges to deal with during the day which may have impacted our experience. That said there wasn’t a great welcome or attempt to manage customer expectations so there was an understanding that there could be delays so you felt you were being looked after.Took about an hour for food to be served - afternoon tea x 2, fish finger and a tuna sandwich. Two meals arrived first with no cutlery or sauces offered, which had to be chased together with the afternoon teas which arrived 10 minutes later.Food itself was ok bar the sandwiches on the afternoon tea where some were a little dry as if they’d been sitting around a while.Then trying to pay took a long tine as the card machine was down, left a little in limbo and had to wait around 30 minutes before finally being able to process my card payment. By this point there was a queue forming of other guests who were trying to pay.Maybe we visited on an off day as chose the place based on reading previous reviews. Hope that’s the case because the setting and location was very convenient.

We turned up on a busy Bank holiday Monday without a booking. Although it was full inside, there is ample outdoor seating with great views on Somerset and South Wales. It was very busy, so service was a bit slow. However, the cooked breakfast was well worth the wait.

We sourced the restaurant due to wanting a cup of tea when we couldn't check in to The Crown, down the road until 6pm - well, what a find ..... we ended up with the next 2 dinners & breakfast there as the staff were so accommodating & friendly, as well as the food was amazing (much said when husband is so fussy) - I can only thank the waiting staff and chef for adapting their menu to suit my husband, we really did strike lucky! Value for food? 100% - not often my husband, when asked, "how was your meal?" responds with, "good, very good, spot on" - lucky to get a, "it was okay" says it all - thank you all so much for making our weekend away, during this pandemic, delicious & safe :)

Lots of parking outside, this is a cozy venue inside, and out back is a lovely open air seating area with amazing views. Service was prompt and friendly. I had ham eggs and chips to eat, the slice of ham was fried for some reason, then festooned with greenery. Very odd. The chips were delicious though. For some reason, for my order of tea, hot water was poured into a teapot, and the teabag was left on the side of the saucer. NOT the way to make tea!

My husband and I visited the Tollgate tea room on Sunday afternoon 9th August and was not disappointed.We was welcomed by such a lovely young lady with a big smile who asked us where we would like to sit, inside or outside. With the weather being so good we went outside and was shown tables where we could sit. All tables spaced well apart and hand sanitiser every where for you to use.Menus are in plastic wallets and wiped clean in between customers as I understood it.The views are fantastic the atmosphere light, friendly and relaxing all the food that came out looked delicious. My husband had a fish finger sandwich but is actually came in a bun (much better) with chips and I had the sweet potatoes falafel salad. Both meals delicious and large. My husband had the loose leaf tea which comes in a pot and I had breakfast tea which came as a tea bag and hot water so I could choose how strong I wanted it. The chef and owner came out several times to ask people if everything was ok which I thought was very good.This is such a welcoming place. Lovely staff, beautiful views and fabulous food made to feel very welcomed and nothing to much trouble most definitely go there again and would 100% recommend this fabulous place ❤️❤️The Cornish’s

We had a lovely evening with the most delightful view and sunset. Two of our group had pizzas which were lovely. My Son has falafel burger and chips the rest of us had salads which we enjoyed very much. The desserts were very enjoyable if I were to criticise one thing it would be that that the raspberry chocolate cheesecake Brownie was a little dry would have been lovely with some ice cream or cream. The mango cheesecake ice cream went down well with those that had it. Spoke to the owner who was very obliging as were the staff. Lovely place to take dog which we did. And ideal place to take children.

I had a Savory afternoon Tea with coffee and cake. The sandwiches and Scones were out of this world they were the best finger sandwiches i have ever eaten. The scones were served warm with cream cheese and Chutney.The staff were friendly and service was A+. The self isolating rules were clear and concise with social distancing measures in place.On top of all this the outside space is huge with amazing views on a good day you can see the severn bridge.

My self and my wife came here on monday rang the bell we were later greated by a waiter, who asked us to sanitise are hands and log are details 1st. He then sanitize his hands before giving us menus he did have gloves on.Took us to are table then a waitress who was also welcoming took our order. All in all small place but plenty of sanitizers and great views and great staff and top it all fantastic food keep up the good work.

It is a very small place with little to no room for social distancing, there were 15 people in the small conservatory packed onto 4 small tables. None of the staff were wearing masks or face shields and only one member of staff was wearing gloves but they did not look clean. We were given a menu in a cover which did not appear to have been wiped down between each customer. The food was okay but the service was slow and drinks took a long time to arrive once someone finally took our order. They should really consider the safety of their staff and customers.

I had the ham egg and chips and my other half the fishfinger sandwich and chips with the cracked black pepper really complementing the flavour. The chips are cooked in really fresh oil and were awesome. The quality of the food is excellent Their fishfingers were as far from a birdseye as can be. Cooked in that wonderful oil with a fabulous batter. Washed down with a bottle of Bath Gem ale followed by loose leaf tea and a Bristol Twenty cappuccino. Great value for money too.

Well l can only say the four of us were firstly disappointed with the hygiene standards for Covid...Eg.No members of staff were wearing a mask or a visor for starters! Menus were handed out with plastic covers no sign of being wiped down between tables!I’ve been to a much better restaurant where menus were put under a glass top on the table therefore not touched much more hygienic .Tables cleaned off inbetween. Cutlery served in a fistfull here (in a bunch ) not individually wrapped in serviettes .Waitress put gloves on to serve food and drink but some food served by male waiter wearing only one glove so my plate had no glove used on it !What for goodness sake is that about ??Glasses were not all clean .Table was small square could not socially distance 4 people.Also too close to big table with family with a noisy toddler in a small conservatory !Food very mediocre for price Limited menu ..Burger with chips 11 pounds.Fish cake meal was frozen and not fresh, macaroni cheese dish was not very big and unremarkable . No wine cooler for white wine unfortunately. However, Staff were pleasant .Quite a few vulnerable older people in there being served deserve better protection from staff.People coming in both ways through the conservatory door where we were sitting right by our chairs. Needs better planning .Not well thought out.Need better spacing with tables Will not be returning l’m afraid .Peta Bray

We visited here for lunch on Sunday 12th July not long after Covid restrictions were lifted - great food, polite, friendly and SAFE, clean service - large garden at rear with views over the local countryside.

we have often thought about stopping at the toll gate and yesterday we did. this is a great little place to stop either for a snack or lunch. the service was excellent and staff very friendly and obliging. prices are good and the view it the back is stunning

Stopped for breakfast on way home to Penarth after 2 night family break in Bath. Cafe was busy but we (6) were accommodated quickly and efficiently.Teas and coffee delivered whilst choosing our food from a varied menu.All 6 of us were well satisfied with breakfasts and Egg Benedict served up. Quality and quantity excellent.Service was very good and quick.A very pleasant and enjoyable stop with superb views from rear of cafe.

I rarely leave a negative review but this was a disappointment. Had heard good reviews, but sadly our visit not a positive experience. Had to look for server, after being left with menus. My teabag arrived in a cup, the hot water forgotten, then arrived. Surely a tea room makes tea in the pot? My friends 'Flat white' was a cappachino, with lots of froth. So sad, the views were lovely, and the cakes looked nice, but we went for hot drinks, not great.

Just the place to break a journey and refresh in charming surroundings with superb food and breath-taking scenery. No hurry, free to take as long as you need to recharge the batteries and soak up the history. Service personal and cheerful, most obliging.

Just home from celebrating my daughter in law’s baby shower with family’s & friends at the Tollgate Tearooms, where the ladies laid on a fantastic spread of sandwiches, cakes & scones. It’s a perfect location to meet up at and the service today was first class - thank you ladies

Stopped for breakfast on the way to Westonbirt. Had to wait half an hour for the breakfast to arrive. The plate was stone cold, so the food was lukewarm. The sausages had a hard crust as though they had been under the hot lamp for days. So the food was pretty awful. A couple beside us also waited for ages for their food and when it came is was the wrong thing. How can the service be so bad when the place wax nearly empty?Having passed this place many times and finally getting to stop for breakfast I was sorely disappointed. I certainly shall not be stopping again.

Drive past this place so much and have always wanted to go in and try it. Finally managed it and it was a lovely surprise. The view from the top of Bath is beautiful. Was a wet windy day so couldn't see as far. My little one had a milkshake which was enormous, her eyes lit up when it came to the table. I had a quick soup and chips to share together. Service was great, food was lovely and presented perfectly. One small downfall, it was a little cold in there and the toilets were outside, were pretty cold and smelly.

Un sitio cálido y acogedor donde nos recibieron y atendieron de una manera única. Es justo lo que necesitábamos después de haber viajado en carretera por largo tiempo.

We have often driving passed and always seen a parked car park. So at 3.30pm on a Saturday we popped in, to this lovely cafe, which on a clear day has brilliant views of Bristol and the Severn Bridge from its conservatary. The staff were welcoming and friendly. We had Wiltshire Ham, eggs and chips, followed by toffee apple slice ( well a massive slice) plus milkshake in a unique glass. Very tasty food

Visited this lovely place for breakfast. Lovely food, atmosphere, excellent service and friendly staff. Great views too. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

I stopped here, following a walk at the nearby National Trust. Staff were so helpful and patient (I changed my mind about what to order, after I saw food being brought to nearby table). Food was beautifully presented, great taste. I only wished that I had room for one of their home made cakes...they looked delicious. Definitely value for money.

The cake lovely the views fantastic and the,service good. But they don't know how to make a cup of tea. I was serv6a pot of hot water in a metal tea pot with tea bag on the side. A good cup of tea is made by pouring boiling water onto the tea. It does make a big difference.

On the way coming from the two day trip from Bournemouth to Bristol we stopped for a quick lunch.We had a jacket potatoes filled with salmon and very little cream cheese with salad on the side and the other filled with tuna mayonaise and salad on the side and two cup of teas.Both jacket potatoes was very nice and the service was very fast

Had breakfast here on a Saturday morning was very nice. I had eggs Benedict's and my partner had pancakes with bacon both were really nice, if I was being picky I would have liked a bit more hollandaise sauce but it was still lovely. You can bring your dog in and the cakes looked amazing. Only let down we had to park in the overflow and it was rather muddy and the outside loos could do with a spruce but this would in no way put me off. I highly recommend it.

We have visited several times lately.started with just a coffee n pot of tea stop.such a warm n welcoming place.full of character and lovely staff.we visited today but picked a very busy lunch time.we were told no tables but welcome to wait on off chance one became available.after only 5 mins one did.we opted for usual coffee n pot of tea along with BLT sandwich and smoked salmon and cheese sandwich.despite all staff being very busy as place was full of customers our service was not compromised.food came out quickly and was well presented as well as delicious.staff were efficient and friendly.its also great we could take our small dog.really recomend the tollgate in all aspects.

We have driven past the Tollgate many times and this time we were pleased to be able to stop for lunch. The restaurant is clearly popular and we were pleased that we had phoned ahead to reserve a table. The menu has some interesting choices and caters for vegetarians very well. We were all satisfied with our choices - falafel burger, fish finger sandwich, smoked salmon salad, hallumi and avocado rarebit - and very good coffee.

Visited for a snack lunch on my birthday on the way to Bath. My husband had a sandwich which was excellent and I had a jacket potato which also was excellent. Waiting staff were very friendly and efficient. Will definitely visit again perhaps on an evening when they are also open for pizzas.

I went to the tollgate as it was recommended by a friend. We were served by a waiter who took my order and a young waitress brought our meal both were lovely and efficient. We enjoyed our meal very much and will be back soon.

Called into this charming place on Tuesday with friends. Have to say the food was excellent and competitively priced but the experience was greatly enhanced by the waiter and waitress that were working that day.

I needed to stop for a cup of tea after a long journey when I came accross this lovely cafe with beautiful views! I was astonished by the variety of cakes and oh so tasty too. My favourite was the chocolate brownie, I had to take a piece away for later. The staff were friendly and I could not fault the service. I will definately be returning. Thank you Tollgate! :)

We stopped for breakfast on our way to the M4. The cafe had signs advertising Trip Advisor awards for gluten free food. However when I asked for gluten free toast with my breakfast I was told that they did not have any that morning as they were waiting for a delivery. The rest of my breakfast was very well cooked, but I was not offered any reduction in price due to the lack of toast. We were also disappointed by the coffee which was very weak and the regular size was very small for £2.50. Not sure if we would call there again.

When checking out on trip advisor it said they did gluten free meals. On our way from Bathford to Oxford we decided to have a breakfast to set us for the day. We asked on arrival for the gluten free menu (it never materialized) and did they do full English gluten free the waitress said yes they did, we ordered one gf and one big boy breakfast tea and coffee. The chef came out and said the sausage wasn’t gf. We said that’s fine leave it off, he also has our order showing that we had ordered a bacon sandwich and breakfast gf. We explained that it was wrong and told him what we had ordered. Drinks arrived ok then when food arrived big boy was fine however the gf had sausage and toast on! I told the waitress that definitely want a gf breakfast and to take away, I also advised them that just removing the non gf items would not be ok, at this point I said it didn’t matter I wouldn’t have breakfast as it would need to be redone (I wasn’t confident it would be right either) then they brought me a non gf bacon sandwich they said I’d ordered. Another customer who had ordered a bacon sandwich and coffee was bought the sandwich I had been offered he refused as was clap cold. At this point we asked for the bill and left. They really don’t have a clue what they’re doing.

We stopped at this lovely cafe with great views for lunch. There was another couple in front of us with a young child that had been waiting a while to be seated. The male waiter barely acknowledged us and continued to clear tables. There were several empty tables. After several minutes he showed us to our table. He had an awful attitude and treated us as if we were an inconvenience as opposed to paying customers. He returned after around ten minutes with the same attitude and took another tables order but failed to serve the couple that were in front of us with the child. They waited around 20 minutes and then left in disgust. The food was ok but nothing special albeit the cakes looked nice. We won’t be returning to try them with that attitude. Such a shame as I’m sure allot of people are out off by the service / attitude.

We have attended the tollgate on many occasions giving the staff the benefit of the doubt and every time we are left disappointed! It takes forever to even be served then the staff are always extremely rude not able to take simple orders and then arguing with you when they’ve messed up, what happened to the customer is always right!! We won’t be returning as we’ve wasted a lot of money here over the years and I will spread the word.

Enjoyed a family breakfast , from a varied menu . Amazing food , friendly atmosphere and great service .

Went for a pizza evening at The Tollgate this week. Can’t say much original about pizza, but suffice to say they were large, well cooked, generously topped, and reasonably priced. Really good.

Went here for a coffee!!! succumbed to the bacon butties, lovely fresh bread, generous portion of bacon, very nice, reasonably priced £4.50 for a butty. Planning on going again because the cakes looked delicious.

Went there last Friday after visiting Dyrham Park for a meal with a friend and we were greeted at the entrance by this lovely man who later served us our meals. The Hospitality and the service was incredible. The food was amazing. The whole experience was very nice and will definitely visit again soon.
