The best restaurants in Glastonbury St Benedict's Mendip South West

What a discovery! Only found it as I took a wrong turning but how lucky I was. Followed signs for Mamf’s Cafe and had one of the best traditional fry ups I’ve had for a long time. Staff exceptionally friendly and accommodating (I do like my bacon done to death and they knew exactly what I meant). I will return.

Whenever we visit Glastonbury a visit to Pie and Tart at the end of the Gauntlet is a must. So much choice of cakes and savouries and Mandy's baking is to die for. Ask about dietary issues and food intolerances, you may be surprised what she can cater for. 10/10.

Freshly baked bread, and great sandwiches. We also had a couple of freshly made juices which were really nice. Allison, the owner is very chatty and friendly. Well recommended.

We got a thali and a vegetable briyani. The owner catered the spice levels to our taste and we greatly appreciated that. The food was fresh and delicious. The owner was sweet and friendly. The space is small but he is just starting out. It has its own charm, it’s nice that it’s small so you get a personalised service. I wish it the best.

Love the sandwhiches and baguettes especially their peri peri chicken at an extremely good price

We went here for our anniversary and had the most amazing meal! All the dishes were absolutely delicious with so much flavour. Rounded off with an incredible dessert. The service was friendly and helpful. Could not recommend more. We will be back. Thank you!

Proper old fashioned cafe. Everything is cooked fresh. Smashing ladies cooking.

I recently ran a retreat in Glastonbury and Rainbows end cafe catered for us, I’m not sure there is a word to describe the food, unique, tasty, wholesome, nutritious and beautiful colours. Everyone loved every dish, every slice of cake/dessert and Naomi was an absolute gem, nothing was too much and we all felt very well looked after! If you’re running a retreat in Glastonbury or locally to Glastonbury I would 100% recommend Rainbows end cafe. Thank you again!

Wonderful home cooked food in a cute cafe opposite the Abbey. Great choice of specials and though I loved my cottage Pie I had food envy for my husband's chicken pie. Proper suet pastry and accompanied by 5 different types of veg plus roast potatoes. Gravy was replenished with a smile and no extra cost. Service was lovely. Fantastic choice of home made cakes and puddings which we fully intended to come back for but to be honest even after a visit up to the Tor we were still full! Thoroughly recommend.

There is now a restaurant trading as Cafe Sol at this address. We only went because Rainbow's End next door is shut on Wednesdays, but it's very good! I had halloumi wrap with Greek salad and sweet potato chips aka fries, which were good anyway, but the best thing I had was their home-made elderflower lemonade, which had more body than most elderflower drinks yet was still refreshing. The service is rather on the relaxed side but don't let the put you off!

Visited Glastonbury whilst on a weeks break in Crewkerne. Popped into to this lovely cafe as it was dog friendly. Forgetting my glasses I asked if they catered for gluten free, they did (it stated it on the menu). As I ordered the lady behind the counter asked if I was coeliac, I told her I was. When the food was brought to the table, the lady explained that she had cleaned the kitchen and prepared my food using all new unopened ingredients. All I had was a corned beef and onion sandwich, but the attention to detail was second to none. Really recommend this place to coeliacs and non coeliacs.

We have previously eaten here and enjoyed their various sandwiches, salads, good coffee and cakes. We decided to try their Sunday roast which had been recommended to us. There was a choice of pork, beef, chicken and a vegetarian option. We were so impressed when it arrived. It was freshly cooked and piping hot with a huge Yorkshire pudding, crispy roast potatoes and a good selection of lovely vegetables. Service with a smile from the lovely staff too! Thank you ☺️

In a town of excellent, varied restaurants this may be the best. Cheery staff. Marvellous food with a Middle Eastern twist. Perhaps the best "full works breakfast' that I have ever had. A pleasant atmosphere, and come the warmer weather, a nice garden. Watch out for the unusual Wednesday/Thursday closure days

A very simple cafe that does tasty home made cake and nice coffee with friendly locals. It’s a great gig venue too
