The best restaurants in Wells Central Mendip South West

Friendly staff, good atmosphere.

The best we've experienced on our visits to historic places.

Sweet hotel, fabulous service, delicious meals. Nothing too much trouble for the welcoming staff. Highly recommend.

Perfect. Visited with my Mum on a busy Sunday. Staff were polite and efficient and the food and drinks were absolutely wonderful. Thank you!

Always solid food. I was even impressed with the French fries. The atmosphere is always casual and the service is all you could ask for. I have been back many times.

Went in for lunch. Landlady n customers very friendly. Ordered starter and main. Too much food! Very well presented, hot and tasty.

Went for a takeaway curry. Very disappointing. Much too salty and bulked up by too much hard, uncooked, big, chunks of onion. Has been better in the past. But wont be returning again.

We were not very impressed with our Full English breakfasts. The tomato and mushrooms lacked seasoning and the fried eggs were very rubbery.I tasted like they had been sat cooked for a while.Overall I felt it was overpriced for what it was. One positive was that the waitresses were relatively friendly. I believe that Whetherspoons does a better breakfast and for a better price! I wouldn’t return.

Lovely place to go and have walk around.

Lovely little pub sitting in the shadow of the cathedral. Great selection of beers on tap. Warm, cosy vibe. Stayed in the annexe part of the building. Compact and bijou no frills accommodation, but clean and comfortable. Please note, there is no parking here. Recommend Waitrose for overnight stays.

The waiter was long face when I pushed the door so I asked is it opening? And he said but long face. And he sit on the chair to chat on the phone and have to ask 2 times for the tap water. Obviously he wasn’t in good mood and the taste of pad Thai is ok but small potion so I won’t come again .

Menu was dated and lack of fresh produce and vegan options

The food and service here is consistently good, so had no hesitation in booking a birthday meal. As expected the service and food was good but the evening was spoiled by noisy unruly children. As seems to be the norm these days the parents simply ignored them and carried out chatting amongst themselves. This isn't McDonalds, ASK isn't cheap, so I was disappointed the management did not deem it appropriate to have a word with the parents. Looking around the restaurant it was clear there were a number of other diners not particularly impressed.

We popped in for a coffee and cake whilst on Saturday visit to Wells. Varied menu and a good selection of cakes, scones and pastries. Cooked breakfast coming out of the kitchen looked delicious and good portions. Coffee nice (not bitter) and hot. Facilities clean and staff very friendly. Will remember this cafe when we next visit Wells.

We have had a previous bad experience of this place once before (about 2 years ago to which I left a negative review at the time). Hoping that things might of improved we chanced it for a snack and drink. Well all I can say nothing has improved! Poor selection of food, cakes etc with high prices to match. The staff (mostly young) are left to their own devices and are slow/unsure. We waited 15 minutes after ordering at the till for our hot drinks to arrive where we were sitting. When they finally arrived the cappuccino was vile and the tea was no better - tasteless and stewed! We left the majority of both which was undrinkable! Table 6 (where we were sitting) needed clearing and a good wet cloth round it. The place could do with some updating/refurbishment. Sorry Wells Cathedral but if you are looking for people to pay a £14 entrance fee in to the cathedral, you certainly need to up your game on the other facilities such as the cafe, toilets (downstairs which are small and smelly and a better selection of merchandise in the gift shop (maybe you should go and see what Worcester and Salisbury cathedrals provide).
