The best restaurants in Ammerdown Mendip South West

Beautiful setting and decent menu for coffee and cake or lunch.

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.

Fantastic pub, great food, friendly staff and a great price Definitely be going back

Beautiful setting but the service was so slow. Queued 25 mins for a coffee and cake which was disappointing. Coffee was really bitter and croissant dry and tasteless - you’d get better from a buying in a supermarket. Was looking forward to eventually having a coffee but it wasn’t great

2 Night stay. Nice, quiet location. Wonderful woman/staff. Very welcoming & informative regarding the area. We had the double room (4). It was very tidy. Only issue was, there was an old thick dirty cobweb behind the armchair in the room and also black stuff on the walls here and there. Our Continental breakfast was really nice. If you wanted a cooked breakfast you have to pay extra. We did not use the bar. Soft matrass. I slept well but my wife did not. (Hard to please everyone with a matrass). We did not use the tapas style menu.

Lovely evening, food was amazing and all staff were lovely xx

We had a very good lunch here today. My burger was quite large and the bun was well toasted with pickled gherkin slices, lettuce leaf and generous splashing of cheese with plenty of chips. My wife enjoyed her Megrim Sole with Nduja and sea buckthorn sauce with mussels. We had no space for any pudding. They seemed to have joined many pubs in adding a service charge to the bill which we were happy to pay as Faye's service was efficient and with a smile.

Great friendly country pub with great food.

This pub is an absolute gem! We went for Mother’s Day Sunday lunch and the service, food, atmosphere and value are absolutely first class. We were offered a complimentary glass of Prosecco on arrival and we thought it was a really nice touch too. The pub itself is cosy and unpretentious, a real breath of fresh air. Easily my favourite pub in the Frome area. Thanks to everyone for making our day so enjoyable.

Visiting with members of our Rotary Club we had a very nice lunch and enjoyed good service.

This was the destination pub an upmarket eaterie .Before COVID we used to go 2-3 times a month. Food was classic but inventive and staff were experienced and knowledgeable. Over the last few years we’ve been a couple of times and have been disappointed with the food. We tried it again for Valentines Night and will never go again. The menu was so boring. The food was overpriced inadequate and under seasoned . The Talbot must be one of the loveliest pubs in the South West of England it’s such a shame. Decidedly gone downmarket.
