White truffle in North Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Terrific food from a varied summer menu; this is not food you can cook at home. Very friendly and professional service. Highly recommended.

A very pleasant restaurant located in a former Chinese just off the High Street, it has quite an upmarket plush feel to it, and the waitress seemed very friendly. We were brought tap water without asking whilst we perused the menu, which I always prefer to restaurants that try and sell you a bottle. The menu offered a decent choice, with six or seven options per course. Service was efficient, with just the right amount of waiting time, even when they got busy. It can be a fine balance between being so quick that you feel rushed and thinking where on earth is my food, but they got it just right. I started with the Beetroot cured salmon which was served with burnt orange, radish, Bloody Mary jelly and a lemon balm. The salmon was a decent size and just the right amount of beetroot infusion, whilst the jelly gave a real hit of heat. Across the table, the grilled Brixham scallops with garlic butter and a parmesan crumb were also a generous portion and very well received. A great start to the meal. My main course of roasted hake, Jersey scallops (plural), samphire, new potatoes, pea and lemon grass velouté and pak choi was perhaps a little less successful, although I still enjoyed it. First impressions were that it was a bit on the small side, and the description was a bit off as I only had one scallop and there was no sign of the pak choi. The samphire had gone soggy where it was sat in the sauce, and I wasn’t quite sure about the lemongrass and pea flavour combination, with the pea being by far the dominant of the two, although that of course is just personal preference. It was still a good dish, but after the highlights of the first course, it felt a little disappointing. No such concerns though with the Confit pork belly with braised pig cheek, carrot and anise puree and fine beans. This was a much more generous portion, tender and well-cooked meat with a good flavour. To round off I went for the Chocolate orange and hazelnut delice with hazelnut crisp, cinder toffee and coffee mocha ice cream. This was certainly a return to top form, very well presented, decadently rich and a real treat. The butterscotch custard tart with a cocoa shell and vanilla ice cream also went down very well. Overall, I really enjoyed this, it was great food in a nice setting, with great service and reasonably priced to boot. I’m not a fan of service charges being added automatically to the bill, but pretty much everywhere else in Bristol seems to have started slapping 10% or even 12½% on since Covid, so it was a refreshing change here to only get 5% added on, I’ve never seen it that low anywhere else. Overall, well worth a visit, and just what Nailsea has been crying out for since Lawrence’s closed.

Absolutely delicious. What a great place - lovely atmosphere, great staff, attentive without getting on your nerves. Food was super delicious, lunch for my husbands birthday. Duck croquettes a def hit, hake dish was beautiful, shin of beef lovely & desert lovely not too sweet or too much. All in all worth a visit will come back. Lovely to see a great independent restaurant in our local area - better than a chain any day of the week. Amazing value. Don’t change a thing.

I honestly can't see how they produce such high quality food at the price. We had duck croquettes (fabulous) followed by hake with a scallop and interesting veg etc, which was really delicious. My guest has a sweet tooth and found the deconstructed cheesecake very good.

This was our second visit, and once again we had excellent food, with lovely service. I have only eaten in two Michelin Starred restaurants, and this was better than both of them on each visit. The menu has excellent choices and I would have been happy with any of the dishes. Beautifully presented and served without fuss or pretensions. My wife has several dietary allergies, and on both occasions these were managed really well without any fuss. I can strongly recommend this restaurant and all the staff. (Note to all who live in the Nailsea & Backwell locality, please go and use this restaurant. we don't want to lose it!) Robin & Sue Lambert.
