The best restaurants in Chew Valley North Bath and North East Somerset South West

Nice coffee, food and service in pleasant surroundings. The town is a little small but has a very old church with interesting Norman architecture.

Wow, we had an amazing lunch! The tapas is so tasty and beautifully cooked this really worth making a destination!!

Stopped in for lunch expecting the usual pub fare but we were blown away by the food. The corns ribs were great to start, it the mussels were delicious. The service was really friendly and it had a great atmosphere with a mix of chatty locals and families. They also had some of our favourite Bristol beers on the taps. Only feedback would be to have a few more veggie options, but we’ll definitely be back soon!

Really needs a vibrant pub at the front of it to make it work. Very souless which is a shame as so much effort has gone into the place. Food was insanely priced. We live in London and still balked at £40 for a main. Some of the dishes were great, some good and one very poor (poached Cod). Really not nice. Service was friendly and polite. I hope this place works long-term. Would be so nice to see a pub at the front, a more reasonable menu and better atmosphere (roaring log fire? Dimmer lighting?)

Family of four visited today and we had the most tasty roast dinners. Generous portions and a great selection of vegetables. The Yorkshire puddings were huge! Service was excellent so we came away very happy. Will definitely be back very soon.

Wonderful food, great atmosphere. The Chew Valley Raj is the best around. Very large portions - you could easily share 1 portion of rice and a naan bread between 2 people. Poppadoms and condiments are provided as a starter to share. The waiting staff are friendly and helpful.

On the last day of our holiday near Chew Magna, we decided to have a brunch before the long trip home. We’d spied Moon Dance a few times during our stay so vowed to go there. There was a long list of coffees, teas and other drinks to choose from. I had a Chai Latte which was perfect and chose eggs hollandaise (eggs Benedict). The eggs were perfectly poached; round with a soft yolk. We couldn’t resist the cakes and there’s an amazing choice. I had the rhubarb crumble blondie, so gorgeous I could’ve eaten two!. The staff are friendly , the atmosphere relaxed I highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Chew Moos has fantastic quality ice cream in a place which entertained children. There is a playground with a fort and slide where the kids can play. There's some small push along vehicles and a track for them. There's a football goal where they can run off some steam. There's picnic tables and a nearby toilet. There are some goats and pigs and small horses to look at. There's parking for about 12 cars. The ice cream is of amazing quality. The flavours are rich and sweet and use their own creamy milk. Outstanding for me was their plain Guernsey milk ice cream which was smooth and had an incredible glamour, though they had many others to choose from including chocolate, strawberry, dark cherry and chocolate, limoncello, bubblegum, marshmallow. You can buy their creamy milk from their vending machine, though it should be noted that if you haven't brought your own bottle it's £2 for a glass bottle. This is a lovely place to visit for good quality ice cream, and kids will be entertained by the other things too

My Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather Edward Blibie was the Landlord of this pub back in the 1700s. I’d imagine it’s changed a bit these days. Gonna have to stop by for a pint and see for myself one of these days.

A real gem. Prompt service, a delicious range of food, and a lovely setting.

Very good selection of plants and good restaurant.

Upmarket menu with beautiful views across the reservoir. Excellent service

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a pint at The Bear & Swan in Chew Magna, and it was a fantastic experience. The pub has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a charming blend of traditional and modern decor. The selection of beers was impressive, and the pint I had was perfectly chilled and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The cozy seating and the lovely ambiance made it a great place to relax and unwind. The Bear & Swan also offers a wonderful menu, and although I was there just for a drink, the food looked and smelled amazing. I can’t wait to come back and try some of their dishes. Overall, The Bear & Swan is a gem of a pub. Whether you’re looking for a place to enjoy a quiet pint or a lively evening with friends, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Sat in the restaurant for the first time in years. I had gammon and chips with a pineapple relish which was gorgeous - i wish they would sell it by the jar. Portion was huge, food was lovely. Staff were excellent!

This is such a lovely pub, good sized carpark. Dog friendly and even on a Sunday lunchtime they let us buy some bowls of chips.
