The best restaurants in Mendip South West

Excellent covid arrangements. Chocolate torte wow. Apple cake wow. Milkshake perfect. Strawberry of course.

1.after not having breakfast because I was excited to having our special anniversary lunch. So disappointed!!It was an awful veggie meal. Didn’t eat my bruschetta.Slice of bread with beef chopped tomatoes. Main meal worse. A truffle resotto. A few mushrooms and rice over cooked with that test of vegetables oil. Could not eat it awful.

all fur coat and no knickers the service was appalling starter course was less than average in fairness main course was good they serve cocktails that they have no idea how to make dirty plates were left on the table my coffee was forgotten staff seemed to be loitering but not doing anything after 15 mins of trying to get attention of one of them i gave up and had to get up and approach them fine dining? give me a break pretentious bullsh_t

No salad on a Monday lunchtime? I wanted a chicken caesar salad but ended up with a tuna melt panini instead which was tasty enough but nothing special. Staff were ok service pretty quick but wouldn't rush back

So visited plenty of times before, also the one in Windermere. When enquiring was the pale ale the same as the Windermere branch I got a shrug of the shoulders from the girl behind the bar and I was told after a delay that it’s a different business and that the son now runs the keswick one. It showed! Place was really quiet, staff seemed dis-interested, shame really as numerous visits have been good! Oh well back to the Windermere branch of the same name! For a much better experience I hope (and free bar snacks)

Our favourite place for breakfast/lunch in Wells!! It’s fantastic here … great food (the Loaf Breakfast is delicious) and games and play area for kids. Really nice quirky ambiance too.

Great roast lunch today Sunday. Good food and reasonable price. Pleasant service in a nice traditional pub. Highly recommended.

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!

Always freshly cooked and great value.

Good afternoon , just want to give some feedback to our disappointing visit to Passeys today . We booked for breakfast and everyone in our group agreed that half the breakfast was cold or warm at the best . One breakfast had a hair in it also . This is not good at all for the premium price charged . We have been several times before as a group of six or less with no problems. I wanted to discuss with the lady serving but one of our group did not want to cause a scene so we just paid and left . This used to be our go to place on Sunday morning . It’s the most expensive breakfast in Portobello, and the quality of food does not now justify the price . We won’t be back .

Service and staff are great. Food is served quickly but it is ordinary and for the price you pay I don’t see any value for money.

Amazing food. We had the Christmas menu. A lovely environment. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Couldn't recommend more.

Took the family (12 people) to celebrate a birthday. Staff were brilliant and friendly and the food was great. Would recommend to anyone to visit and try fresh, tasty food. Thank you for making this birthday special.

Pleasant ambiance, warm hospitality, delicious food and service with a smile. That is how I would sum up the Long Story Bistro experience.  I love coming here to catch up with my friends just for a blether over a luscious cake and a cup of coffee which is truly divine. The food is exceptional too, from traditional to vegetarian, vegan and other healthy choices. Nobody ever struggles to choose. But like any place of hospitality, it is the people who make it. And the staff here certainly go out of their way to make you want to come back for more. So we shall 😉!

Excellent service and atmosphere and the food was delicious! Really happy we found this hidden gem. We will definitely be back
