The best restaurants in South Petherton South Somerset South West

This café is NOT closed as at 25/05/2024. I just had an excellent coffee and cake, and I must say that the menu looks delicious, great service and dog friendly too. Will definitely call again.

Not wheelchair accessible I'm in a electric wheelchair there was no ramp to the door and the cafe was up steps so we just left disappointed

We had a lovely meal here at the New Farm Restaurant, particularly the starters and mains. I would highly recommend. We didn't care for the puddings, but that was down to preference.

I can’t say our experience here was terrible, but it was far from exceptional or outstanding. Which, for the price and following other 5* reviews was really disappointing. The menu was uninspiring, and the dishes were tiny - we went home hungry! I think you need to advise people when booking that it is a chef tasting menu only, at £69 per person we probably wouldn’t have booked. Also awful wine, maybe a bad choice but it was recommended by staff, I couldn’t drink it. Sorry, lovely setting and staff but I would not recommend anyone here. Some of the local pubs offer better quality food than we tasted here. I can’t help question whether other reviews are even real, I have eaten in some exceptional, memorable restaurants - but this falls far from hitting that mark.

I had the chicken pie, and it was lush 😋 . Will be adding this to my stop at list

Really wonderful little place hidden in a little village. Probably why we haven't been sooner. Plentiful portions and the best naan bread we've had out. Thank-you for a lovely meal , Susan and family

Really enjoyed our lunch here. Every dish was full of flavour. Portions are generous. The hispi cabbage was delicious but then everything was 😀 Book in advance if you'd like to eat in one of the cute railway carriages. There's a double decker bus option too.

Holm comes highly recommended for its food. I would not demur but was surprised at, and not necessarily enamoured of, some of its "idiosynchracies." Our reservation was for two. On arrival we were shown to our table where menus had been placed next to the cutlery and napkins. Having studied the menu we realised that it was the chefs taster menu - approximately 8 courses for a fixed price of £69.00 per person. I am not quibbling about the price but about the fact that when we asked for an a la carte menu we were met with surprise and received the distinct impression that it wasn't favoured or expected. We hadn't requested the chefs menu when booking. Equally, neither the a la carte or chefs menu indicated gluten free or vegetarian options. Surprising as today every restaurant seems to include that information and surprising too given Holm's reputation for food. I had also indicated when booking that gluten free options would be helpful. I was helped in my choice of food ( gf because of coeliac disease) but it seems a strange oversight especially in a geographic area where there are many other very well reviewed restaurants which do provide this information. Surprising too were the deliberations required to accomodate a request that a "starter" become a main course. All dealt with eventually but seemingly not part of the plan as far as the restaurant was concerned. I am obviously a restaurant dinosaur. I like restaurants where the menu is the starting point for a discussion about the food and accomodations (within reason) are suggested and offered. Holm I feel is London performative and this approach is not in its DNA. Having said all this I will say that the food we ate was delicious. I live locally and have found that some of my remarks have resonated with my neighbours. Perhaps we are just not sophisticated enough.

Lovely and friendly atmosphere lovely dogs and nice and toastie pub.

Had a tasty cod, chips and peas dinner at the Naval Volunteer Inn, Seavington St Michael on Saturday. I think it was both cooked and served by the landlady who was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed a new beer (to me): a galss of Tornado from The Windy Brewing Company

A delightful location in a delightful village… but looks can be deceptive. Step inside and the greeting is terribly rude and unwelcoming. I wouldn’t venture in there again.

Had a lovely first visit here. All the staff was very friendly. It has a great atmosphere and the food wad fantastic. I will be back in the near future.

Lovey carvery with a wide choice of food which all tasted delicious. The beef and pork were both cooked beautifully. Very friendly staff throughout the pub. Great little find on a Sunday.

We go to The Seavingtons regularly for lunch. If you don’t know what you fancy there is always a good selection on the specials board as well as an extensive menu. Prices are very reasonable and the food and service is excellent. Considering most of the staff are volunteers in both the shop and cafe I think it’s a lovely place to both eat and do a bit of shopping 👍

Celebrating a birthday lunch. The place is spotlessly clean and well laid out. The food was exceptional. From gnocchi to Steak and Ale pie thete was something for everyone. The people here are extremely helpful and pleasant and we were made to feel very welcome. Can't wait to return and try other items from the menu.
