The best restaurants in Mendip South West

Overpriced rushed service very loud music……no customer care asked for the music to be turned down as it was going thump thump and very noisy with big parties of people.at no time were we asked if everything was ok only if we required more drinks.ordered a banquet…the starters and crispy duck all came at the same time. And we had to ask for a break before the main course came……the only redeeming feature was that the the actual decor was beautiful .we will not be returning

I like Tortilla i come with my friend and the staff and of course the food, so nice, have a good selection of fresh flavours. all restaurant is so clean, just, perfect guys.

Got there and found out theyed been closed for a few months,not helpful as we had to get there by bus.No car.

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but unfortunately I have to this time. I like to support small businesses. Popped in for lunch on Friday. We waited over 45 minutes for 2 coffees. Then the food came 5 mins later. We always say we don't mind waiting a while for the food if we have some drinks to sup on... I hoped the food would be worth waiting for, but sadly not! I chose the brie, bacon and cranberry panini. Each half had just HALF a slice of bacon and the tiniest slither of brie I couldn't even taste it!! The bread was very dry and tasteless. The coffees were tiny, but very nice. It was our first visit and I had high hopes, but was thoroughly disappointed, sadly.

Lovely food, reasonable prices, take away or home delivery. If waiting for your food pub next door. Jointly run with king kebab so two menus to choose from.

Compré dos corderos de Biryani y un saag paneer. Biryani's eran frescos y tiernos y el curry vegetal era precioso. El lado de Saag Paneer fue el mejor que he comprado. Cada cubo de paneer había sido frito en un cubo dorado dándole un sabor maravilloso que estaba bien maridado con la salsa cremosa de espinacas ligeramente dulce. Volveré x gracias

Bought a selection pack of 5 flapjacks for I think £14.00. Given the pricing I was expecting them to be really good. Very disappointed, flapjacks were dry and just crumbled, the toppings were too thick. Just not tasty apart from being way too sweet. Overall far from the quality product I was expecting. Will stick to M&S fruit and nut version in future, far superior and much cheaper too!

Came here during Cowes week. We were looking for somewhere for lunch, which had space and was out of the rain. Stumbled across the club and as there were a few seats in the marquee able to accommodate our party of 6 we decided to eat and have a drink here expecting it to be quite expensive. We were pleasantly surprised by the choice of ales at very reasonable prices and the excellent pizzas which we had for lunch. The young staff were very pleasant and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

In September, a good friend, board member and resident of Somerset, took us on a three day tour of her “home area.” We visited Wells, primarily to see the great Cathedral there, but after that visit to the Cathedral, and surrounding sites, I declared “wine thirty,” so we headed to the pub in The Crown at Wells. First, The Crown at Wells is an inn, then next, a restaurant, and finally a pub/bar. It was in the latter, that we took a table. The wine list was short, and we got the Chablis, while our “tour guide” had coffee. The restaurant and pub/bar seem to be separated, and not just in the sitting areas. I approached the bar, to order the wine and the coffee, and was directed to the “other room.” Once around the corner, in the adjoining room, I walked up to that bar (same bar, but on the other side), and the same gentleman could now serve me. The bar area had two “windows,” and apparently one was for the restaurant side of the operation, and the other for the pub. This was rather odd to me, but I had a good laugh over it. Perhaps the bartender had a good laugh at me, going from side to side of that bar area? Also, I had to be certain to pay, on the correct side. All very confusing for this “Yank.” All service was friendly, and though the Chablis was served much too cold, we had an enjoyable hour, sipping wine and coffee, and recounting our busy day, and especially Wells Cathedral and its grounds. A comfortable pub for a bit of a pause, and some wine. If we had not had reservations to dine elsewhere, the menu looked interesting, and so long as I found the right side of the bar to order from, would probably have been very good. Neat, historic inn/pub, and worth our stopping in – just get instructions on which side of the bar to order from.

Ordered from here many times but today the baguettes are stale!!! Not impressed. We may have to consider going elsewhere, which would be a shame because I’d rather support a local business.

Closed this coming Saturday (28th May), tried the make a reservation and wasn't offered anything other explanation

My daughter had her 8th birthday party this morning and it was brilliant!! Paul and Lucy were amazing with 10 children and they were so happy when they left. The kids made their own smoothie or milkshake, decorated a waffle pop, ate pizza , fruit sticks and took birthday cake home. Paul is the best host and he played pass the parcel for the first time. Thank you for making it the best party for the kids and the parents. Brilliant!

Ive been trying to call to book a table for a big party of us wanting to visit for an evening soon. All I seem to ever get is the answerphone??

Interchange Cafe is a lovely new family-owned cafe right opposite the Interchange train station. They have a wide variety of menu items so it was difficult to choose because everything sounded delicious, but I ended up going for the broccoli and tomato quiche and a latte. The coffee was the cheapest one I've found so far, and it tasted great! The quiche was probably the best I've ever had! The family who works at the cafe are very friendly, welcoming, and attentive people. Highly recommend for anyone living in or coming to Bolton. I'll definitely be coming back.

Booked the camp site no problem until we arrived to find the pub shut and has been for some time, looked on there web site still saying pub open until 11pm. The Rodney Stoke Inn is closed and the camp site people need to let people know when they book.
