The best restaurants in Ilminster South Somerset South West

We heard a rumour about this cafe... and my gosh did it surpass every expectation we could have imagined! Amazing service and the best home made cafe food! Plenty of inside and outside seating and dog friendly!We will be coming back when we’re in the area again!

Lovely little gem of a place. Amazing food, great service, very welcoming. A charming little treasure trove to wander around with a beautiful sunny court yard at the back, very relaxing. So glad I found this place I will certainly be returning. Highly recommended if you’re in or passing through Ilminster you won’t be disappointed 😊

Visited this lovely cafe recently. Had the most delicious coffee & walnut cake, with a flat white. My Mum had a slice of yummy Victoria sandwich, and my Dad a hot, fresh cheese scone & butter. Highly recommend a visit.

Great service just moved from Dorset to Somerset best fish and chips I’ve had since I was small brought back great memories thankyou

If you’re in Illminster and want some good food or even ok food DONT go here if I was you the Riverside is better. Poor hygiene that I’ve witnessed and dog hair I’m my cake Lovely looking place but who ever is running it needs to stop and think about what they are doing!! Safe bet is going to the riverside or burger king on the roundabout!! Worst coffee & even dry cake I was not impressed

The days when this pub opened as often as this website suggests are long gone. It's a part time pub; the opening hours are on a board but not complete, but presumably known to those who are regular drinkers there.

Overpriced sandwiches ordered a cheese and pickle don’t know what happened to the cheese it was just a tiny sprinkling of cheese. Salad on the side was unimaginative. £23 for 2 sandwiches and one bowl of tasteless chips wish we had looked around.

Only call in when travelling to Chard, always make detour to get my fish and chips here. The batter and fish is the best I have ever had, from Blackpool, Yorkshire, all over UK. Best wishes.

arranged a weekend stay for 37 people. Very helpful staff especially Sandra. Many rooms had been refurbished and very clean. Had a very happy. Food excellent and drink prices reasonable. A very happy experience.

Me and my partner were away on holiday and found this spot Wednesday 31st July A true hidden gem if you ever want a Indian restaurant in illminster I would recommend this restaurant Waiter/chef a true pleasure to talk too not trying to get you to buy drinks Food absolutely incredible Also a true family feel to the place Only downside we live 160 miles away 5 stars throughout

Good food, great beer and excellent service.

We visited here for a birthday meal and the atmosphere was great! There was a live band and the vibes were brilliant. The hanging kebabs were delicious and of course the cocktails were good.

Just wanted to thank Emma,Rob and team for an amazing Christmas Meal we had last night. The food was absolutely delicious and so good, that we will be coming back next year. Staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble. If you want to support local businesses, would highly recommend. Thank you x x x

After owing thousands of pounds in rent to my very patient dad who gave him multiple chances, the owner of Riverside Cafe Ilminster, Ethan Parker was rightly asked to leave the premises. This is how he left the building, still owing thousands. He’s moving his “business” to Axminster very soon under a new name. If you happen to be a landlord in that area then do be aware. Do not trust this extremely immature boy.

Nice enough - husband really liked, I was less enamoured. Can't complain about portion size, if anything far too generous. Shop could do with looking a bit nicer (do you want to eat food from somewhere which, in the public areas, has gaffer tape on the benches and posters/cards for events that happened months ago?) I'd visit again, but only if I was hungry/it was raining heavily and didn't fancy walking a bit further from home.
