The best restaurants in Ammerdown Mendip South West

Beautiful, quaint little cafe within a peaceful garden space. Its a really lovely place. The food was very nice (we ordered 2 pizzas and some soft drinks). The area is lovely, its very dog friendly and the staff are really kind and welcoming! Would highly recommend and we hope to return in the future if we come back to Somerset.

We often go to the Jolliffe Arms, sometimes lunch and evenings but mainly for their Sunday Roast .The staff are always friendly and helpful and the food is the best,you can pick a single meat roast or a mix of meats, the portion sizes are very good, the regular size is plenty for lots of the family , also the puddings are very good and nice sized portions,all in all great great food at a very fair price ,I would definitely recommend the Jolliffe Arms, a lovely old pub with atmosphere and great food.

Enjoyed a fabulous tapas dinner with three friends last night at the Vobster Inn prepared by a genuine Spanish chef. We shared ten different dishes from pheasant croquettes to Manchego and quince jelly. Why would you choose burger and chips when you can have a meal that you would never attempt at home.

A truly great evening was had last night. We went for a Christmas meal, and from the point of arrival when we found “Thatchers Zero” in the fridge for the designated driver, to settling up at the end of the evening the experience was great. Super friendly staff, and a well behaved pub dog who just had a look of “please love me” on his face. The food was superb, and the price was good value for money. I would definitely recommend the pub.

Arrived in Mells for first time and spotted cafe which we entered immediately after a lengthy journey. Cafe was due to close in 15 minutes so we placed our order with the young assistants. However the owner came in from the post office and rudely instructed us and his assistants that we would have to have a take away due to it closing. We still had 15 minutes! So we went outside on a cold day to drink our coffee. Another group of people arrived shortly after and managed to get served without the boss knowing. They also came outside. The boss returned looked outside and stared at me like daggers as though it was all my fault his closing time might be slightly delayed. I didn’t respond. He then went back next door grabbed the doormat and started beating it vehemently against the wall of the shop with dust flying everywhere. Not a good first impression of Wells!

We were guests of our dear friends, Sarah and James, who are members of Soho House. As we entered, there were tomahawk steaks and large other meats on the counter (enticing!). The menu had huge variety and the vegetarian and light options were just fine. In the end, the whole group of 7 of us opted for steaks, either the tomahawk (for sharing) or the sirloin for the odd one out. Good choice of booze and bar staff who knew their drinks. It had to be said that a few items were "dropped" from our order, but this was swiftly put right by Soho staff. All-in, a very good evening. Hope to be invited back again.

We booked a party of 12 for my mother in laws 60th birthday, soon to be disappointed by the following, we arrived early as discussed a week prior to booking to set up balloons etc.. and told the table was seated with other guests so had no other option to stand in the cold! On being seated the chairs were all very un steady and bits of wood hanging off, service was very very slow, then onto the food my partner and I food came out cold then re plated another meal with extremely fatty beef soggy veg and 2 small potato and to charge £21 for each roast is disgusting. Would highly recommend people avoid this place and we will not return

A really amazing proper country pub. A really warm welcome from Chris as soon as we walked in. We sat next to a beautiful fire place with cosy atmosphere. The food was plentiful and 5* quality with great service. Quite easily the best pub experience had for a meal out. We will definitely be going again.

Food is of an average quality with a premium price tag. Sometimes the food is excellent and sometimes the food can be poor, it all depends on when you visit. Nice outside seating area for an outside drink of a summers day

Amazingly friendly bar staff, Chris could not have been more hospitable! Such a nice relaxed vibe and the Sunday lunch was delicious, great portions and quality food. Definitely hope to go back soon 😁

2 night stay that was faultless from start to finish. Stunning location, amazing room, warm welcome and nothing too much trouble. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, staff work so hard to ensure your stay is made special and your furry friends enjoy it too! Food superb, great service, and little added extras are charming. A little bit of relaxing luxury away from it all in a lively, friendly atmosphere and quiet peaceful location! The Talbot has it all in spadefuls!! A very special find that we shall continue to enjoy over the years!!
