The best restaurants in Wessex South Somerset South West

As ever, Alessandro has got it right! The pizze are always great and he's always got a smile on his face. We go here regularly (pre-order and stop for a pint on the way!). I always have the carnivore (extra spicy) and the wife always has a margharita and at £18 for the two, a real bargain. He's only there Thursday, Friday and Saturday and it's always best to pre-order to ensure he hasn't run out of pizza dough! He's also in nearby Long Sutton on Wednesdays. Especially recommended

Loveliest cafe. Good cake and other food, very good coffee, they can do decaf and cater to gf too. Friendly staff

I loved this place! Appears to be In quite an isolated position but in reality is near to small townships. A traditional pub. We had a very enjoyable lunch, tasty and good hearty portions went down well. They have an amazing choice of ales which I could not appreciate at lunchtime and places to go but another visit beckons. The owners and staff were friendly and helpful. We all would have no hesitation in returning.

We stayed as a family of 3 in room 6, with the four poster bed and the roll top bath which we enjoyed using after 2 busy days of sightseeing locally. I really can't remember when I last slept so well. The food from the restaurant was delicious, we ate there both nights and enjoyed both the menu, puddings and the specials. Both mornings the chefs were kind enough to make our son pancakes as he doesn't eat full English breakfasts - this was so kind of them and he really enjoyed them rating them top joint with his granny's! Also we loved the homemade croissants. The staff were so lovely even when dealing with one of the most obnoxious and aggressive customers I have ever witnessed in my life after breakfast yesterday. Well done. Thank you so much for a memorable and very comfortable stay. I will have to find a way to get a bath like that in my house!

This place is lovely and the staff are wonderful they are also great neighbours.

We booked a table in advance for four to celebrate my mother-in-law’s 88th birthday. The welcome, food and service were excellent. We had afternoon tea; the sandwiches were “door stop” size with plenty of filling. Cakes and scones were excellent. We had to take some home as we couldn’t eat it all. Perfect celebration. The only disappointment is that they no longer accept tips on credit card so remember to take some cash…..!

Excellent food, great service and great value for money. Clearly a place used by locals as well as tourists, which is a recommendation in itself. Highly recommend

Amazing service and amazing food! Really impressed with the whole menu. We loved the chips, fish and curry sauce! Strongly recommend!

Just a few pints in a great local pub.

We dined at 28 Market Place on Friday March 31st, a birthday meal. We were delighted by both the food and the service. The menu is reassuringly small, but sufficiently varied, and both my pickled mackerel starter and lamb rump main were very well cooked and presented, as were my wife’s linguine and cod. .Though certainly not cheap, it was fairly priced and good value, and considerably less expensive than the only plausible (though excellent) local rival in Bruton. Overall, it was a pleasurable experience, and we would be delighted to come again.

Lovely location, great food and friendly service. We went with our son and had a starter and main all the food was fantastic. Son had a pizza and my wife and I had steak and chips. Only given a 4 out of of 5 as a 10% gratuity as automatically added to the bill. To be honest I would have tipped any way as it was all great (and probably more than the 10% ) but I really to like the presumption that I want to tip. Will definitely go back though.

I had booked a table for 5:30 PM on a Sunday night, and we were literally the only two people in the entire restaurant other than the waitstaff. Yet, we were never rushed to leave. That was greatly appreciated. The portions are large, so go for the smaller one if you have the choice. Dinner was obviously fresh made and quite good. Way too much for me to eat it all, even though I picked the small option.

paid £23 for fish finger and chips and 2 burger meals for a burger meal to not turn up the shop to say half hour for another delivery and £6.50 for the other burger !!!! The ac to actual cheek. They let someone take orders on the phone who knows no English so they get it wrong then charge the customer for there mistake. Disgrace

We were in Somerton for the weekend and purely by chance ended up at The White Hart for dinner. We hadn't booked, but Rob very kindly managed to find a way to rearrange the bookings to provide a table for the two of us - and we were so glad that he did. The wine was good quality, we ordered two main meals from the regular menu - flat iron steak and cider battered haddock. The staff were polite and friendly. We saw workers throughout the evening very clearly dealing with a very busy restaurant - but everyone we saw was working with pace and purpose, focused on service delivery and working well together. Everyone worked quickly but with a calm energy. Even when relaying tables this was with attention to detail and clear care about customer experience - we saw tables being balanced so as not to wobble for the diners, candles and glasses laid out to be aesthetically pleasing, table legs get wiped to be clean for the next diner - just small things that were done as second nature that show the approach to standards. Both dishes came out in good time - especially considering that the restaurant was (from what we could see) completely full. The food was cooked beautifully; the steak was delicious, seasoned well and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The batter on the haddock was lovely and crisp, but achieved without overcooking the fish, which was still perfectly tender. Both plates were appealing and presentation well thought out. Attention to detail was a theme that carried through into the food where garnish was built into the dish properly rather than an after thought - For example the lemon served with the fish could have been served simply cut and been perfectly acceptable, but effort was taken to lightly grill the lemon for deeper flavour and more appealing appearance. We couldn't have managed a dessert, but the options were very enticing. We ended our evening finishing our glasses of wine in front of the fireplace before leaving. We already plan to return, despite the 3.5 hour journey from home.

Me and my partner and our friend and her baby went for dinner, the staff were really friendly and the food was amazing. Big shout out to Chaim who was very friendly and just amazing great service. Highly recommend going here !!!
