The best restaurants in South Somerset South West

What a wonderful authentic Thai restaurant, a true credit to the couple that own it and run it. All 4 of us ( 2 who thought they didn’t like Thai food ) had a brilliant evening with stunning tasty food and great service. There is nothing not to love about this place. We all can not wait and are looking forward to our next visit, a true gem of a place in Langport

I got a delivery it was fast and the food was amazing. It was delivered hot and the driver was very friendly You can only get takeaway or delivery here

We had a fantastic meal at Hornsbury Mill. We arrived quite late on a Monday evening after getting stuck in roadworks but we were made so welcome and had a lovely relaxing meal. There's an excellent range of menu choices, and all the food we had was superb. We were so impressed. We'll definitely be back soon.

Great lunch. Seven of us turned up as they had opened. We were are party of 4 adults and 3 children. We all chose completely different meals from the menu and every dish was perfect. Special requests were dealt with and we all thoroughly enjoyed our freshly cooked lunch. Will definitely be back again. Many thanks Diane and Russell for making our family feel welcome.

Very limited menu, scallops as main course, 3 scallops 😐 Online menu rather misleading as actual choice very limited.

Delicious food friendly staff great stop from the West Country authentic Italian food just on the A303 we had a proper decompress after a busy journey. I had sea bass and my partner had saltimbocca which were both excellent

I booked the afternoon tea special for myself and a friend and her daughter. We had done this last year for our birthday and enjoyed it so much we decided to do it again. The food was absolutely delicious and displayed beautifully. Everything was very pleasing to the eye and didn’t disappoint. The staff were very attentive and tea, coffee, hot chocolate and soft drinks were unlimited. When I booked it I was able to specify no nuts, raisins etc as we wouldn’t want to waste anything ! I would 100% recommend The potting shed cream tea for both the food and the staff and I am sure we will be back for our next birthday !

Great little boozer with very friendly staff. Pool table and a juke box. It’s a Wandsworth pub as most are in the area but they have a few decent enough beers. One of the better pubs in the area for sure.

A nice selection of alcohol and snacks

Stopped off for lunch after visiting family nearby. A warm welcome, polite, friendly and had a really lovely feel to it. We had the ham ploughman’s and a fish finger sandwich. The food came quickly and served with a smile. The food was delicious. The ploughman’s was large and a great variety. The fish finger sandwich was well cooked, great granary bread and presented perfectly.

Myself and Sarah and out Dog Odie, have been here a couple of times now, and we absolutely love everything about it. Amazing room, Gorgeous breakfast, great host, beautiful surroundings, it's our go to place when visiting the area, highly recommend it.

Skip. Strangely rude and hostile staff. Treated customers with contempt. Seemed content with the Instagram kids on their front patio and no one else. Keep walking.

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

I'm not sure if the lady treats everyone like this on a Sunday morning. She shouted over a coffee order at the same time stating she has a lot of people to feed and we need to hurry. That moment we were her only customers. When a friend asked for more bread she said eat what you have on the table. It felt so rude. The other customers sat . She seemed very friendly with them. The only difference was that we were all black mix race. She made it clear she did not want to have breakfast with us. So that was the start of our Sunday morning of the Bank Holiday weekend. Also full English did not come with hash brown. That really upset me . The others had hash browns looking over. She was not interested if we enjoyed our stay. Its still on my mind one week later.

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.
