The best restaurants in Ammerdown Mendip South West

If you’re in the area, I highly recommend this place. Great pizza and the scenery is an amazing. Great idea and overall great experience

Unfortunately, a power cut had happened when we arrived, so food was delayed. However, we were kept informed, and when power was restored, it wasn't too long before the meals arrived. Absolutely lush!

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.

We went for an extended family Boxing Day lunch. We were staying from out of area. From the bar staff to the kitchen staff, they couldn’t have made our time with them any better. We were made to feel exceptionally welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The food was not only great quality, huge portions but incredible value! We can’t recommend this little gem enough! Thank you so much!

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.

Lovely pub, gr at service, food and drink. A real gem.

Went for Sunday lunch on the recommendation of a neighbour and we weren't disappointed. We had a huge plate of home cooked dinner and it was very tasty. It was very affordable. There was a good atmosphere. It is dog friendly and there is a car park. Lovely pub!

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

Went for Sunday lunch on the recommendation of our neighbour . The food was fresh, tasty and home cooked. It was excellent value for money with an enormous plate for £13 (I think!) The pub had a nice atmosphere, has a car park and is dog friendly. Would definitely return.

Met a friend for lunch and were looking forward to a great Sunday roast next to the fire on a cold winter day. Well, we got the open fire, but the good was distinctly lacking, and surprisingly so for a chain that prides itself on the quality of the food from all its other restaurants and pubs. We had two Sunday roasts and a burger. While the beef was nicely cooked, all the vegetables were average, and items were missing from the description on the menu. The burger came in a singed bun and was incredibly overcooked, dry, bland and flavourless. Such a letdown. It was asthough it had been deep fried rather than griddled. Again, some of the items as described on the menu were also missing. I've had better burgers from McDonalds at less than half the price! My advice would be to go for a drink and enjoy the pub itself, which is delightful, but find somewhere else to eat. From our experience, it's overpriced and overrated.
