The best restaurants in Mendip South West

Took my Grandson to Rugby in Bath so popped in for something to eat. Saw the mixed reviews so was not sure about the place. However, we had nothing but excellent service. Easy to order from the bar. The internet was working to well to order at the table. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Drinks arrived quickly after ordering. Food was just has quick. Lots of it. Hot and tasty. We both enjoyed the experience. Would go again.

2 night stay that was faultless from start to finish. Stunning location, amazing room, warm welcome and nothing too much trouble. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, staff work so hard to ensure your stay is made special and your furry friends enjoy it too! Food superb, great service, and little added extras are charming. A little bit of relaxing luxury away from it all in a lively, friendly atmosphere and quiet peaceful location! The Talbot has it all in spadefuls!! A very special find that we shall continue to enjoy over the years!!

Excellent position and a lovely building. Very pleasant restaurant with plenty of room between the tables. Service was attentive and we didn't have to wait long between courses. We both chose the steak frites which was fine but not the best in my experience, hence the dropping of one star. We would however visit again if we were in the area.

We live local. Got a take away due to exhausted from work. Hardly any food, too costly and to top it off, absolutely no taste to the food!. The tandoori mixed grill was rubbish for £15.00. The silver trays were half empty. Honestly Go somewhere else! They even wrote down my address wrongly so food was cold when it arrived.

Awful service. We booked a table for the six of us and we were all really looking forward to the meal, as we’ve always thought that it looks like a lovely restaurant. We were waiting for over half an hour before our drink orders were taken and another 30 minutes before they appeared. We ordered two charcuterie and cheese boards as starters between us and it took over 40 minutes for these to come out. When they came out, each board only had two tiny pieces of cheese which had clearly been broken off a slab a cheese rather than cut. At £18 each these were extremely disappointing. We were then waiting another 45 minutes for our mains and when they came out our starter plates etc had not even been cleared. We had been in the restaurant for almost 4 hours by the time we left as a result of the long wait for any service. The restaurant wasn’t exactly busy and the staff were standing around most of the time. We asked to take off the service charge at the end of the meal due to the poor experience and the waitress was rude and did not apologise for the poor service. Will not be returning.

Last year i went in September asked the lady in the pub bar ,if she knew if the chip van thats there on friday and Saturday used fresh cut chips ,she said yes ,and sure enough they were great ,the fish and the chips ,just came from an overnight stay ,was hoping the chip van was going to be there,it looked like it was but parked behind the sports bar ,and they were taking orders from behind the bar for food so was a really big queue,put my order in 40 minutes later got a buz off the number stick ,got it and the fish was loads of batter and the chips are the usual frozen rubbish you get at most holiday camps now not impressed at all ,seems they want to make quick money now ,to lazy to use real potatoes,take my own food from now on

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.

Parked in store car park, noticed cafe so decided to return after a visit to cathedral etc Returned at 1pm on a Sunday to find that the new quiche that was advertised on all tables was out of stock as were the next 4 different things we asked for off the menu board. Including jacket potatoes! Last time I looked Waitrose sell potatoes? Offered no suggested alternatives, poor service considering cafe open for another 4 hours

It was helpful service with a smile, the food arrived very quickly to the table and it was to the standard that we expect from the chain. Always enjoy the salad buffet. Plenty of onsite parking and a decent tip rounded it off.

The landlady and staff at this pub all seem to care deeply about their customers, the drinks they offer, the town of Glastonbury and their welcome. My own choice of tipple, Stag, is easily the best pint I have ever enjoyed. This is a BIG old pub! There are two large bars, a snug and a huge beer garden where we spent a very enjoyable few hours. When we went there was only one member of the bar staff working. But a couple of minutes out of our lives is pretty negligible, especially considering what we were waiting for (Stag!) And there is even a little notice in the carriage bar requesting a little patience. If visitors expect instant service of substandard, homogenous products at a Poundland price, might I suggest they pop into a 'Spoons rather than a family-run community pub?

Loved eating with fish. Would eat again shame about chip watching me eat from the corner. Would definitely eat again though

I have visited this Starbucks 3 times now. Every time the toilets were a disgrace. No toilet roll water on floor (I hope it was water!) Today the cafe area was so humid and smelly I left and bought some very nice food and drink from the M and S shop on site. Avoid at all costs

Ordered fish , chips , mushy peas and mild curry to take out . The food was inedible . The fish was dry and overcooked the batter tasted disgusting like it had been fried in dirty oil . The chips were dry and looked like they had been cooked and warmed up about 3 times . The peas were so green they looked nuclear . The curry was so mild it had no taste . Now I have been here before and not had a problem but the ingredients are definitely cheap and nasty and the cook needs lessons . I will not be going back .

After spending about an hour wandering around and finding the shops I wanted to visit were the opposite side of the village to the car park, i was ready for the coffee break! Nice setting and if you had children (we didn't) it was adjacent to a children's play area
