The Walled Garden at Mells in Mendip - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Delicious pizzas in a beautiful setting - visited with friends and they were happy to accommodate all the kids different requests!

A place to unwind for young and old with families and or groups. A simple, elegant restaurant in the middle of a natural park is worth seeing 🎉👍👍👍

A beautiful cottage style garden in a lovely setting, with plants for sale. Visit for the garden alone, because sadly the food is poor and overpriced. My quiche was a small, flat, dry little piece served with a few salad leaves. Very disappointing and tasteless. The lemon cake was good but my daughter’s courgette and pistachio cake was very dry. Go for the garden which is well worth a visit and maybe have a cup of coffee or tea, which was served in pretty vintage china cups.

A lovely place to stop for refreshment on a sunny day. We enjoyed our tea and a walk round the beautiful garden with all its features and cosy spaces. Plants and other things for sale too.

A lovely, hidden garden with lovely staff and good food.

Lovely gardens, great food at reasonable prices. Pizzas made to order. Eat in a lovely setting.

Little gem of a place. Tranquil, beautiful surroundings . Some unusual plants to buy.

Strong coffee and good cake in a nice setting.

Excellent atmospheric natural garden with café.

Very tranquil traditional walled garden with a fabulous array of plants and flowers and various quiet spots to eat and drink . A true oasis .

What a wonderful little place this is tucked away in the village but make sure you seek this out, you will not be disappointed

Excellent, lunch was good, enjoyed walking around gardens.

Garden probably not at it's best right now but a nice place to stop for tea and cake or one of their fresh pizzas

We tend to visit the Walled Garden half way through our walk. I love the setting, the garden is stunning and the plants for sale are all beautiful! I wish I could carry them all home. The pizzas are tasty, as are the salads and other foods.

Stumbled onto this en route for a walk. Great place to eat, tables were scattered throughout a great garden. The food was great, there were even options for my partner who is very lactose intolerant, and the price was very good. We will definitely be coming back.

A lovely garden with secluded spots to sit in amongst the borders. A small range of foods available with the speciality wood fired pizza but quiche and sausage rolls also available served with or without Greek or garden salad. Gluten free and vegan options available too. No plastic visible and most reusable except pizza boxes.

Wonderful setting and gardens, well worth a visit. Food, um not so good, avoid the quiche, served fridge cold with small salad on tiny plate, pizza,nice thin and well cooked bottom, topping a little sparse, cost, a wallet emptying £12

Great pizzas and salads. Beautiful gardens with amazing plants to buy. A wonderful setting and lovely staff!

Lovely setting for a relaxing cup of tea and slice of home made cake. Friendly staff. Plants for sale. Small shop. Proper cups. Trees. Fields. Bees. Pizza!

A Beautiful hidden garden in the most idyllic village. So much variety everywhere you look. The first white Monks Hood I've ever seen, and I was lucky enough to buy one for my own Sanctuary, a reminder of a wonderful afternoon.

Delightful on a sunny afternoon, pizza superb

Such a lovely place , very friendly staff , lots of cakes and other goodies to choose from, well worth a visit .

A beautiful little place....Full of flowers, plants, great countryside views, lovely coffee and cake too. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful when asking advice about plant choices. Definitely recommend a visit!

The pizza was great, and for a gluten free pizza I'm happy with that. The Walled Garden is really lovely as well.

Beautiful tranquil place. A little corner of heaven on a sunny afternoon.

Lovely place. Closes at 5. We were a bit late, reached around 4.30 so didn't get much time to spend. Loved the small ice cream tubs & brownies 😊

Gem of a place . We travelled here by bus from Frome not knowing what to expect, how pleased we where at the friendly reception and delightful food , I had a cream tea whilst my wife had a sausage roll with exceptional homemade pickle.. the gardens are small but lovely . Well worth a visit

You couldn't find a nicer setting for a spot of lunch on a sunny afternoon. So beautiful. Limited menu but features local produce and the food is tasty. The service is friendly and relaxed but why rush in such a gorgeous place?

Beautiful place for a sit down and a coffee

Lovely food and coffee. Pizza from a clay oven. Delightful surroundings.

Great outdoor space to relax and have lunch!

Lovely garden to sit in. Great cafe and plant shop. Pity it was raining when we went.

Amazingly beautiful garden and friendly staff, food prices are what could be expected, sadly the quality is not. Cakes dry but serviceable, pizza really ought to be thinner, baked better and contain some decent ingredients. Also questionable sustainability ethos – more single use packaging than a festival. When asked this is apparently still due to Covid.

Stunning gardens and an incredible location! Charming staff at the café but disappointing food - pizzas really could and should be better quality for the price and the cakes were disappointing. Not sure when the throwaway cups will go again post covid, it is a shame not to have real cups 😝🧓

Friendly welcome. Beautiful, peaceful spot.

Very very beautiful. Lovely and serene, relaxing area. Nice cake!

Closed but great, have a lovely garden

I've been here a few times after being recommend by a friend. In the past its been really relaxing and a lovely place to visit. We decided to visit again recently to relax and have a spot of lunch. We ordered 3 pizzas and some other bits and pieces, such as cake and drinks. When we ordered pizzas we were given a buzzer that tells us when the pizzas are ready for collection. We found a table and waited...and waited. 35 minutes later one of the staff walked past and asked if we had ordered pizza, we said yes and confirmed our ordered number. He gave us the pizza and said that they'd been waiting for someone to collect. I pointed out that our buzzer had gone off and that we'd been sat patiently as the place seemed busy. The staff member just said "Oh well, the buzzer must be faulty" and walked off. We opened our pizza boxes and was quite surprised by how small the pizzas were initially, but they looked good, so it didn't matter (although for £10 each I was expecting more). The pizzas were barely warm as they had been sat on a counter waiting to be collected. My wife's pizza (Salami) didn't really have any taste. By this point I was getting a bit annoyed, this was made worse by some snobby family turning up and thinking they owned the place. They were having a birthday celebration in a reserved area, but despite this, the mother decided to shout across half the garden their pizza order and that her teenage daughter didn't want something on her pizza. "Moo doesn't want basil on her pizza" screamed the mother, the daughter who was stood next to mother then also shouted "that he likes basil, but didn't want any". The reason I mention this is that generally there wasn't social distancing going on. There was a one way system for ordering food, but that was it. I feel like the there should be more in place to stop people standing next to another table and shouting their order over

Lovely spot tucked away with a beautiful garden..very welcoming and peaceful..

One of my favorite places to visit for coffee and cake, or lunch. A beautiful garden to wander in. Seating under old apple trees and throughout the garden. All set in the historic village of Mells. A visit to the church highly recommended. So glad I live in the vicinity of this beautiful place.

Beautiful and tranquil setting good food and drink. Plus plants to buy.

Lovely pizzas, super friendly staff.

Such a hidden gem! On a nice sunny day this is the perfect spot for a bit of lunch and a drink. The tables are all well spaced out so it feels as if you're the only people in the garden. A very relaxing environment and great pizza too.

A really lovely place, pricey... but worth it!

Lovely old walled garden with a separate terrace overlooking the countryside if Mells. Open air seating plus a small greenhouse style sitting area. Serving tea, coffee, soft drinks, cakes and cream teas during Covid-19. Socially distanced serving, tables plus plant sales.

Lovely tea coffee and cakes with friends for the first time in months. Excellent organisation very safe a total pleasure thanks to the lovely people

Marvellous, a haven awy from a mad world. Happy and helpful, lovely teas and cakes, simple but well done, excellent selection of plants. What not to like 👍

Beautiful place, good plants, coffee and cake too, remember to book!

Beautiful walled garden with café.

Great place to relax, dog friendly and lovely cafe with decent selection and a traditional Pizza oven.

Wonderful garden to relax in and enjoy great coffee cake and pizza

Good points - Fantastic location and garden. Bad points - single unisex toilet (considering the number of seats), bean salad and vegan pizza were both really barren, sad and uninspiring.

What has happened at the Walled Garden. Haphazard, slow service with no organisation whatsoever. I have been coming once or twice every weeks for a few years and have always thought it five star, sorry, no longer. These youngsters now running the show need to up their game from every angle.

A really lovely spot, beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, super- camera friendly and most importantly dog friendly:)

This is a lovely little walled garden in the pretty village of Mells.Even though it is not very big it’s free to enter and is packed with with lovey flowers trees and shrubs,there are also flowers and a good selection of herbs for sale.Then you can have a drink and bite to eat at the lovely on site cafe.On our visit it was raining so we sat in the greenhouse to enjoy our snack in the dry.The staff were all very nice and friendly and made you feel welcome.This walled garden is well worth a visit.👍 💕

This was a lovely place to visit. So happy I did. Enjoying the café and walking about the garden. Will go again next time I'm in the area.

Great coffee, fantastic sausage rolls but I did get food envy when the pizzas went past. I went Saturday 8th September and the staff were excellent putting other places to shame. Superb end to a great walk in great company.

Visited hoping for cream tea, but I think maybe because we got there half an hour before closing, they weren't serving it. The Victoria sponge and tea were good. But the staff were so unfriendly. They would barely make eye contact or small talk. This would definitely put me off from visiting again.

Gorgeous place, friendly accommodating staff and delicious food. Great for children to wander around the paths and explore the gardens.

Someone has really dropped the ball here. I've visited the Walled Garden several times before but was very disappointed today. There's a point where the "soft and informal" planting described on the website is just tired and neglected. Gone are the lovely old olive trees in pots, replaced with some fairly dull perennials. The fountain in the middle of the pond wasn't on. The only plants for sale were fairly tatty and a limited selection. We were made to feel quite uncomfortable walking through the section at the back wall by a group of women who were having a baby shower and had colonised on large bench. The roses on the rear wall badly need dead-heading. Actually the entire garden could do with a bit of care. It just looks tired... and it's only June. On the plus side, we had a nice coffee and cake and the staff were very nice.

Great garden, well restored, with the benefit of excellent lunches in summer. The pizzas cooked in the wood over come highly recommended.

Fantastic home made pizza & wonderful staff! Thank you!

Outstanding for home made food. Coffee or tea in the greenhouse or on the sun terrace

Nice quite walled garden friendly helpful staff good food And dog friendly

A Little Gem found. A quick coffee or chill out time away this place is perfect. Lovely staff and surroundings. That serves good cake tea and coffee . Back to nature

Lovely cafe. A greenhouse to sit in when it's wet. Just a beautiful place.

We love this place. Beautiful gardens in a lovely village. Amazing pizzas and friendly service, what more could you want?

Beautiful gardens and cafe, dog friendly

It's my aunty's and she's amazing and her garden is stunningly awesome.

Tucked away in this stunning corner of Somerset, The Walled Garden at Mells is exactly the sort of place that one hopes to stumble across when the sun is out, when the kids are squabbling in the backseat of the car, and when small (and large) tummies are grumbling. We found it on just such a day. The gardens with their old-English flowerbeds and weathered walls, are quite simply beautiful. The staff are delightful, and the wood-fired pizzas were probably the best that we have ever had. Not bad for a chance find in May.

Beautiful peaceful setting, and lovely staff.

Absolutely stunning gardens, excellent wood fired pizza. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful. A pleasure to discover it!
