The Wooden Hut in Mendip

In with the family for breakfast, food was exceptional, service was homely and added to the experience. Would definitely recommend!

We wanted to try Root's menu - it looked interesting and innovative - but we were pleasantly surprised by the ambience and approach to lunch service. A lot of the dishes were understated in their presentation, but there's obviously a (justified) confidence in the cooking. No need for flowery garnishes, just great dishes. There's a great skill in creating plates that look inviting rather than intimidating, and that draw unforseen levels of flavour from potentially unpromising ingredients - celeriac, for instance. Everything was enjoyable, and comforting on a cold December day in exactly the way we had hoped. Excellent.

Very disappointing. We came here once before and we were very impressed but this time the batter was burnt black in places.

Such a wonderfully welcoming and relaxed restaurant with the most amazing food right in the heart of England’s tiniest city. We went for a family New Years Eve meal and the service and food was absolutely spot on. We will definitely return. Highly recommended!

Had a delivery, excellent service, fast delivery. The cod was excellent, the chips not greasy, very hot and beautifully cooked.
