The best restaurants in Ilminster South Somerset South West

This place looks beautiful inside, the decor is fabulous, although it was freezing inside. The food was terrible, out starters came and we had to send one of them back as it was cold, the chicken was so dry. The mains weren’t much better, service miserable, most staff on their phones, not attentive and didn’t deserve the service charge that was put on our bill. We won’t be going back in the future. What a waste of money.

Not satisfied at all. The worst food that i had in my life. Chicken not cooked properly. Even they are giving free of cost I don't want to eat anymore.

It is great when you find somewhere of a high standard, to eat and support local people rather than multinationals. We loved this little find but our last experience left us not impressed HOWEVER THEN we heard there were new owners really committed so thought great let’s go back - which we did today after travelling 200 miles ( we do this trip fairly regularly but have had a break) to be greeted at 11.30 just the end of breakfast - so we were given the lunch menu - that seemed fine. On ordering we were told lunch did not start until 12. Whilst we accept there is a changeover and the person serving did ask if we could have breakfast we were told it was only lunch at 12. Sadly had we been informed “let me take your order and you will be first at 12” we would have waited. We were told we could only have cake or a cheese scone. Really disappointing as were wanting a meal and we would have been real advocates. We decided that the approach could have been a little more engaging and supportive. You have sadly just lost 2 advocates who are always committed to spreading the word. I wish you much success in your buisness and the future but we won’t sadly be back despite the lovely food. For us it’s the whole experience.

Very friendly pub...good service.. excellent range of Wadsworth beers well priced...cider as well as the usual suspects. Pleasant outside seating area

Avoid. Chips were stone cold and the cod was awful and grey and half the size it should be. It was long and very thin like it had been cut in half prior to preparing. Absolutely inedible and very overpriced even if it was edible. Had instant noodles instead and the takeaway went in the bin.

So we tried to find the drive through but drove past the inner entrance once on inner road and ended up exiting! While I'd have been inclined to feel a little stupid, with 2 of us not noticing until too late, it is clear the lack of signage to say turn left/adverts pointing that way, is an issue. Couldn't be bothered to go all the way around again on the roundabout. Also, the entrance is immediately off the junction that is easily missed if you are heading into the roundabout (away from Costa) on that road...thwarted by the layout!

Worst meal I have ever had don't no weather I will come back

When chairs are moved very noisy could have better furniture. Food ok chips are still the best double cl still really good. Just very noisy

Asked for a amercano asked for hot milk, she didn't ask me for the hot milk to be added to cup or on the side in a small jug, she poured it straight into the cup, coffee not very hot
