The best restaurants in Postlebury Mendip South West

Was visiting friends in the area and they recommended this local pub. Was the perfect choice for party of 5. Nice, small pub atmosphere run by lovely family. Food was delicious. (I had cottage pie - perfect. They also had vegetarian cottage pie.) and nice beers. There was a local competition of skittles (like bowling) in the side room and made it fun to watch it on the TVs while we drank at the bar and chatted. Was a great experience, highly recommnded and worth the visit!

I'll admit I am a difficult diner, gluten and dairy free and don't eat beef or pork. Menu did not have any chicken or veggie choices that weren't covered in breadcrumbs and the first person I was talking to wasn't at all helpful However. I was then offered a great vegetarian solution by another staff member and that was delicious and the service improved greatly. Would also like to comment on the atmosphere. Mostly good except for said first staff member was also hell bent on throwing every empty bottle in to the bottle bin with force that seemed excessive and was startling.

Excellent ice creams, great variety and flavour. I visited with my dogs on a really hot day in July. Perfect way to cool down. Also a special mention to the pet shop Wiggle and Wag which shares a site with the gelato shop. Both great.

Great service and a great place to eat

I've never been impressed with the sound quality at this venue, but last night's Afro Celt gig was a new low. The sound system totally failed to project into the hall and had no presence. It's flat and lacks any dimension. You'd need to be right in front of the stage to feel any sense of immersion. Even then, the overall quality is low. To make matters worse, the sound engineering was shocking, with fiddles, pipes, flute, whistle so far bant in the mix that they could barely be heard at times. A really unprofessional event that left me feeling like I'd been ripped off. I'd be really reluctant to see a band here again. Frome deserves better.

Really surprised how I feel after our visit here here for breakfast. Stopped off for a late breakfast brunch. It was very quiet. And very muggy and warm inside. Big sign that says Wait to be seated - so we did. Then told to sit anywhere. Service was vaguely good. Excellent at times and dire at others. Got a menu. Placed an order. Little interaction from the waitress, but she seemed competent. First the coffee - wish I could use Emojis here. You know the one with the puking face. Sums it up. Bitter, stale and horrible flavour. Barely drinkable though I've had worse. Then the breakfast. One full English - greasy but ok - mediocre would be fair. But the worst bit was the smashed Avocado on sourdough. Bleeeuuugggghhhhh. The white bread toast did not resemble sour dough at all, it just looked and tasted like white toast, but I could have lived with that. A pile of Avocado and two poached eggs. One egg was undercooked with a runny white (YUCK), the other rock solid?? And the avocado was tasteless, dry and just horrible. So horrible that I barely touched it. I waited for the waitress to come over and check everything was ok? she didn't. So eventually I took the plate to the counter. She didn't look up and just said thank you (as if I had brought the dirty crockery back) and went to the till to charge for our breakfast. I said I wasn't ready to pay and that I had brought my breakfast back because it was dry and horrible. She didn't even raise an eyebrow, just said she wouldn't charge for it. She didn't say sorry or even ask if I wanted something else?? I didn't bother to tell her how foul the coffee was. True to her word we didn't pay for my breakfast, but the other breakfast plus two vile coffees was nearly £20. Save your money and go elsewhere. Wish we had. The waitress was on her phone in between serving food and really not bothered. Not impressed. We go out for breakfast often and this was the worst breakfast I have EVER been served. I could forgive the rotten coffee - I am a fuss pot when it comes to coffee but there is no excuse for poor food.

Was really excited to try out this restaurant. Had read the media coverage and have tremendous respect for the owners. It was busy, nice weather had brought the crowds out to the outside dining area. It seems impossible to get good service these days, when you do it is rare. Has eveyone good left the industry post covid... There were plenty of staff on the floor, but systems and training were clearly lacking, and the basic good standards sadly lacking. As soon as we walked in lack of a clear greeting was a sign of what was to come. We ended up waiting far too long for our mains to arrive. Other tables also complaining and warning us about the lack of service. The place itself is beautifully & tastefully done. The menu reads incredibly well. The food did not disappoint. I sat eating the Fish Soup, trying to recall a better soup that I had ever eaten. This, I have to say was the best, absolutely incredible. The rest of the dishes were well cooked, and good, but nothing knock out. Rarely give reviews, but the lack of service was a big issue. One guy seemed to be more senior, but he was way out of his depth. Not even a goodbye as we left despite making eye contact with the Manager and floor staff! Would not recommend until the service is sorted out.
