The best restaurants in Tower South Somerset South West

An unexpectedly great restaurant, with interesting and beautifully cooked food. Great service, wish we could still eat there!

Stopped here for a quick snack before going to Alfred’s Tower. Ben was such a good and friendly host and offered delicious coffee and cake especially the carrot cake. Highly recommended!!

Great little pub, tones of character from the decorations to the people enjoying their selfs there. Stopped for a sandwich and toilet break which they were able to pack us the sandwiches on the go.

Today we had Christmas Lunch at this wonderful place. The food served was beyond expectations. The service was second to none, and the surroundings said Christmas. The staff that served us were attentive,polite and superbly turned out. Young people tend to get a bad press, but these young people were a credit to the pub. We have already booked again for Christmas 2025,as we know we will not be disappointed. Thank you Sean and all your staff for a great day and making our Christmas special. Peter Taylor and Janet Hobbs.

Had an amazing Sunday lunch today….best Pork I have had in ages….really welcoming local pub with very reasonable quality food….just a joy …thank you…I will be back very soon….

Called here in the morning to collect our fresh farm produce and decided to stay for brunch. Although the cafe was packed out a seat was soon found for us. The coffee was excellent and the portions of food were generous. The staff were helpful and friendly. (There is gift/antique shop on the premises which which kept us occupied for an hour)

Lovely birthday lunch in the Botanical Rooms at the incredibly restored Newt. Had heard much of the place, was gently scared of who might be attracted to somewhere where so much cash had been so obviously spaffed at its renovation. Should not have feared. At all. Not only were the other guests entirely normal (families, couples) but in the entire visit there was only one buffoon wanging on his mobile about acceptable rates of return while wearing presumably horrifically-expensive tramp-chic trackie bottoms... and he was only in the porch. Possible due to discreetly forceful staffing. I have no idea (but one can dream, eh ?). Food was superb. Actually, perfectly sized for lunch - beautiful mushrooms, perfectly cooked fish, cleverly presented carrot with flank steak. Clearly, an expert was toiling away. Service was genuinely superb - even down to the recommending of a South African non-alcoholic drink called something like SpamWhacker or BritHitter or something. Brilliant stuff. Anyway, well done, thank you, delicious. Great wines, too. Tip: if you have lunch there, you can get over to the Roman Villa that they've painstakingly reconstructed. It really is quite something. It really is.

We always have a great meal here! Never stayed but it looks good and service is always great in the restaurant/bar area.

muybuena seleccion de comidas aunque todos los meuns de los pubs son todos iguales...probamos el cauliflower wings y me han sorpendido, estaban buenisimos, ya que no sabia lo que eran pero los voy a hacer en casa, el precio de comidas son iguales a todos los pubs del sur. los asientos muy comodos bien limpios y los aseos tanbien muy limpios.
