The best restaurants in Mendip South West

Friendly and attentive staff serving great home baked food. They excel in looking after their customers

We had family visiting and had a table for six on the covered patio which is now lit and heated. There was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. Short blackboard menu but with good varied choice. We all had something different and everyone one proclaimed that their dish was delicious. Would highly recommend.

By far the best fish and shop in Street. The young lady who serves is lovely and polite and the young lad is a good member of the staff. They remember what i order every time which is amazing service. Would recommend to everyone.

I have been here a couple of times before. I must say their coffees never disappoint! Their chai lattes in particular are the best. The staff are also always friendly and accommodating, with the cherry on top being the bohemian aesthetic of this coffee shop, which adds a lovely homely feel to the place.

In the past 3 months I've had take-out from The Sushi Bar 4 or 5 times; usually once a week when I'm working in the area. The place is very clean, you can see the kitchen and the food being prepared fresh from the restaurant. My food has been ready within a few minutes of ordering and I enjoy the sushi rolls, though I tried the Katsu Curry Chicken this week and that was nice also. Even though I've not dined-in the restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the staff are really friendly recognising me on my return so I feel like a regular after just half a dozen visits.

Popped in for breakfast while in the area. Had large full English (with bubble and squeak). All cooked fresh to order. All staff friendly and welcoming. Breakfast set us up for the day with large mug of tea and big pile of toast. Perfect.

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

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.

Fantastic lunch. Very reasonable prices. Lovely friendly staff. This cafe is situated in the centre of Abergavenny. Three of us had a snack lunch. The food was well presented and plentiful. The service was speedy and efficient. Can highly recommend.

On entering the restaurant through a small door, unwelcoming staff, no interaction with customers or children, menu was okay, not enough healthy vegan options, would not be recommending too my work colleagues, friends and family, my words would be AVOID

Good food well served . Good coffee . Didn’t try the cakes but looked good.. The staff didn’t seem especially happy not unfriendly or inefficient just lacking in that welcoming feeling.Would still go back to give them another try.

We had a lovely lunch at this friendly cafe with generous portions of delicious homemade meals. Staff were very friendly and provided excellent service! We really enjoyed our time there 🇨🇦

We don’t really know Dorking but came for a comedy gig and wanted food and drink before the show. We booked a table online and then were a bit confused when we walked in as it’s looks like a work space but then has a bar and says it served food. The staff explained they had a limited menu currently. As we were there and we’d booked we thought we’d give it a go. We ordered halloumi fries to start and then various burgers - whilst initially worried this was just going to be a zap in the microwave job; how wrong we were. The food was so good. The food was restaurant quality!! The staff (particularly the gent I assume was the manager) were so friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. We will definitely go again; and look forward to when they have their full menu.

This café is very convenient for the main shopping area and we needed a break after spending the morning shopping. It is in a slightly tucked away location and has a nice interior and some outside seating. We enjoyed two good quality flat white coffees which cost £6.50.
