My partner and I visited Matts Kitchen last night - we’ve traveled down from London to stay in Bruton for the weekend and had a superb experience! Matt is extremely welcoming and everything about his food and the restaurant was authentic, this truly felt like being at a dinner party with home cooked food, but to a very high standard. We loved every course and even better that you can BYOB. Thank you Matt for such a unique and brilliant dinner experience - we’ll absolutely be coming back and recommending to others!

We came in for a very late lunch and were served promptly. The persian starter which we shared, and the two main persian courses were delicious and generous.

The interior is beautiful, the food innovative, the staff really friendly and informed, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. Unfortunately our evening was marred by a party of six who I suspect hadn't seen each other for quite a while. They got louder and louder as the evening wore on, we now know all about their travels to New York, Bali, relationships..... By the time we got to desert we decided to go and sit back in the bar along with one of the two other couples. There was another dining room that was empty and I don't understand why they weren't seated there. The front of house said that 'this has never happened before'. Apparently even the back kitchen staff wondered what was going on. Such a shame as we had been really looking forward to going, it was a belated treat for my husbands birthday and we'd travelled a long way. What should have been a good (though very expensive) evening ruined. I filled in the questionnaire, stating what had happened but didn't receive a reply.

Hands down the best Sunday roast I’ve had in years. Absolutely delicious, very reasonably priced and hot through. Excellent food for the kids too. Everyone very happy. Also really good alcohol free beers available.

Ignore all the key board warriors with nothing better to do than moan at small things. A great coffee shop. Nice staff. Lovely location. Will definitely visit again. One review I read mentioned that they had many great visits to this coffee shop but after one negative visit they decided to write a bad review. How petty. It’s a pity they didn’t leave great reviews for all the nice visits they had made there. I love it in there. Lovely coffee. Friendly. Nice and relaxing.

It is hard to believe this cafe is rated so highly. The food was mediocre and the server and his mother create a depressing atmosphere. Plates were thrown down, the server was really unfriendly in general. Go to The Chapel instead for real food and decent service.

Purely by chance, we came across The Old Pharmacy at about 2.30 in the afternoon. We had a fantastic meal - one of the best that we recall - and we do enjoy our food. The menu was ideal for sharing plates and the open kitchen is right in front of you as you enter the restaurant which sows great and very well deserved confidence. The service was friendly, efficient and professional and we were made really welcome. The whole experience exceeded expectations dramatically and we shall surely return!

Whilst not particularly busy, the atmosphere and food were excellent. Our server was friendly and helpful, but when it was time to pay….we waited. We kept waiting. And it occurred the restaurant was now empty and we had a difficult time finding someone to pay ie, catching their attention. In the end, I did get up and walk over to nab a guy, and he did bring our bill, with no interaction. Kinda strange end to a lovely lunch.

Since this venue opened 10 years ago we have traveled the 45 miles from our home at least twice a year. Last Friday evening was the first time we had been back since the major alterations to the layout, splitting the dining area into two quite distinct restaurants. The Roth Bar & Grill has been relocated to a barn area with the bar stuck in the middle thus dividing the area in two. The whole room was dark with uninspiring drab furniture and totally soul-less. Before the "transformation" booking a table at weekends was a must, now, we were the only ones dining there for most of the evening which speaks volumes. I should point out that our food was good although rather expensive for what it was and the staff, who outnumbered us 2:1, were very pleasant. The whole thing is a total disaster and unfortunately it doesn't stop there. The area previously occupied by the Roth Bar & Grill is now an Italian / English restaurant. Gone is the open kitchen and grill area, gone is the lovely quirky bar that you walked through to the seating area and in it's place is a much larger dining area, tables with white table cloths in place of the more rustic furniture, and an absence of character. I noted that only about half the tables were taken. Separating the two restaurants is the old entrance lobby, now just a large empty space save for the books lining the walls. Previously this contained the reception area and book shop and a meat curing room, glass walled and lined on three sides by large salt bricks with whole sides of beef hung, now it is just a wide empty corridor giving access to the two restaurants, the gardens and toilets. Both my wife and I have had a life time in internal and external design, I do not ever recall seeing something of such character totally destroyed by someone with little or no talent. Frankly, it makes me very angry. Yes, it could have been altered to allow for more seating but not like this.

We have been ordering from Rick Shaws for a number of years even though we live in Castle Cary and happy Chinese takeaway nearby because their food has always been better but the takeaway that was delivered tonight was way under their usual standards. Most most of it was fine and no circumstances Order their peking duck which was frankly one of the worst I’ve ever had with bits of dried and overcooked meat what made it worse? Was whoever put that meat into the takeaway package knew that it was substandard and didn’t bother to worry. I will consider this a one off blip and continue to order from them, but definitely not the duck LOL
