The best restaurants in Chard Holyrood South Somerset South West

we found this lovely place by accident. Wonderful food, totally fresh and clean and home cooked in lovely cosy surroundings. Comfy chairs, sparkling dishes and cutlery, everything was spotless and the people who run it were charming. A lovely place to relax and enjoy lovely food or simply some coffee and maybe a bit of cake. Really a charming place.

We googled for a good restaurant in Chard and was impressed by the good reviews for A Tasquinha. We weren't very impressed by the entrance which wasn't very welcoming and had cigarette butts around the doorway. The inside of the restaurant was nice, clean and has a small garden outside. We presume the lady who served us was the owner. She is very pleasant and welcoming and took our orders and served our food speedily. We ordered a tapas plate for starters but when it came, there were no olives as they had run out that morning. However, we were charged the same price. (Sainsburys is 2 minutes up the road!) She recommended one of the specials, a bean, calamari and prawn stew which, for a cold day sounded good but the prawns were undercooked, there were only small very small pieces of calamari and it was beans, beans and more beans which was quite bland. My husband had their 'sausage' special. A tiny piece of sausage with a cooked egg ( he was not asked how he wanted his egg and it was a hard fried egg. I can't recommend the food here

Only had coffee but it was a perfect Latte not too strong unlike many of the large chains. My little dog Mackintosh loved his complimentary dog biscuits and water. Lovely little place 💕

Lovely food, excellent service. Thanks

Found this hidden gem and recommend to all. Good food, coffee and service. Lady who served us was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We had panini's with salad which were very tasty. I would go again when in the area.

Friendly chill cafe - perfect place for breakfast.

Excellent food and service, worth a visit!

Had a few times, very consistently good. The veggie burger as a whole was tasty but the 'meat' was a bit supbar - dry, unpleasant texture, unfortunately common with veggie meat. The chips also have a tendency to be too salty, including the children's chips, which is disappointing. Otherwise, great speedy service and always updating menu.

Wonderful converted old chapel with balcony where you can sit, but the tables on the ground floor have equally impressive ambience. Food is excellent - eggs Benedict a delight! Coffee excellent.....but......will it be open when you want to go there? Closed last bank holiday I tried, so tend not to go often as it seems to be a bit of a lottery as to whether it will be open for biz..which is why I have not given this place type rating. If its open and you have not been in before, go in, its fantastic!

Sad to say chips dry and fish cake soggy. Trying not to be mean but batter was also thick. Very very disappointing for £33.

I use Spice Villa regularly. As a vegetarian with coeliac disease. I am always very careful and I feel very safe ordering here. They know exactly which items are gluten-free (most of it) and haven't made me unwell. The food is always well cooked, and the portions are generous without being over the top.

A proper English tea shop serving real tea and delicious snacks and cakes, topped off by being served by some beautiful stunning senior ladies, what a wonderful find in the heart of chard.

Absolutely the best Chinese food! We come from 30 miles away when we have time, because we think it is so good. The staff are welcoming, the restaurant itself a bit weird in decor , but comfortable and well worth a visit. Only drawback is the distance! 😄

Vibrant friendly atmosphere with wonderful staff! Great for watching the football! Parking at the back.

Usually order the same thing, fancied a change. Disappointed, ordered something medium spicy but it was bland and tasteless. I will go back to the usual, chicken tikka balti, always excellent
