The best restaurants in Wells Central Mendip South West

Friendly service. Nice window seats for watching the world go by. Great coffee but the highlight is home made cakes. Even the pastries. So rare!

The coffee is spectacularly good, the cakes are gorgeous and the ambience is relaxed and friendly. It’s a delight to visit places like this.

A sandwich bar with some seating inside. A varied menu not just sandwiches. we did have sandwiches which were very nice. the prices were reasonable and the staff very pleasant.

Beautiful, beautiful place to take a leisurely walk around. Lots of history and the addition of knowledgeable guides was much appreciated.

I visited Wednesday with my pugs and ordered a massaman curry it was beautiful. The rice was sticky and yummy and the curry was divine will be back for lunch again today. The lady who owns the buisnessn is very friendly aswell i like when you find good service. Highly recommended if you are out in the market if not why not go there get thai food people 😋 😀 😉

We wanted to try Root's menu - it looked interesting and innovative - but we were pleasantly surprised by the ambience and approach to lunch service. A lot of the dishes were understated in their presentation, but there's obviously a (justified) confidence in the cooking. No need for flowery garnishes, just great dishes. There's a great skill in creating plates that look inviting rather than intimidating, and that draw unforseen levels of flavour from potentially unpromising ingredients - celeriac, for instance. Everything was enjoyable, and comforting on a cold December day in exactly the way we had hoped. Excellent.

Very nice food, choice and good service. Went for the non-meat main although I am not vegetarian. It was excellent flavour wise. Courses were good value compared to some restaurants in town and the menu offered tasty nibbles as a cheaper alternative to more expensive and filling starters.

Had a lovely breakfast, staff were very friendly and food was delicious

Lovely Meal enjoyed by myself and 6 friends

Lovely bloke hosting & awesome burgers. We had the lunchtime deal which was a burger, soft drink and fries for £11.50 (Mon - Fri, 12pm - 2pm). We upgraded the fries to be cheesey which were great but be warned... if you aren't a saucy kinda person, stick to plain!

I needed somewhere to have lunch whilst I work and Good Earth was on my list. This place is cosy yet full of character and life. It was busy downstairs so conveniently I went upstairs where I was quieter. My quiche salad was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. I highly recommend this place for those who want a coffee and a chat with old friends, that’s definitely the vibe I got from the customers.

Great food, excellent service and all at a good price

Such a wonderfully welcoming and relaxed restaurant with the most amazing food right in the heart of England’s tiniest city. We went for a family New Years Eve meal and the service and food was absolutely spot on. We will definitely return. Highly recommended!

Finally got around to going for a meal with my son and a friend. Wow! Wish id come here sooner. Lovely atmosphere (im noise sensitive and it was perfect, not echoey, not too loud, music playing not annoying, can hear everyone on table perfectly no shouting). The food was out of this world. Between the three of us we had calamari, olives and pork loin starters (perfect sizes), mains of lamb shoulder in apricots and almonds (not too nutty just perfect), and a calamari main. Calamari is really difficult to do right but this place has nailed it. Not rubbery or undercooked at all. Had coffee and a sour cherry and greek yoghurt dessert…. Heaven! Restaurant is spotlessly clean, chair cushions proper fabric not plastic ( i hate plastic ones where you stick to the seat ), restaurant was a comfortable temperature for us, no need to wear a thick jumper for dinner like in some places. Just a perfect meal in a perfect restaurant. Cannot sing praises enough. Staff friendly and checked back on us. Everything timely and not rushed. 5 stars!

Great food , nicely cooked , good choice and good portions . Sensible prices. Service excellent and gave a very relaxed feeling
