The best restaurants in South Somerset South West

Stayed in the bed and breakfast at the back and it was a completely lovely experience. Food was excellent, people as well.

Great local pub with a good range of beer and cider. Check Facebook for opening times. Owners are super friendly and always great to pop in for a pint

Brilliant chippy, has been for years. Huge portion sizes always hot food and delicious. 5 star chippy this one. Lots of choices on the menu, polite and warming staff

Stayed at the campsite for the weekend and they had some live music on the Saturday. We had a fantastic night with a little bit of dancing. Will definitely visit again.

If you’re in Illminster and want some good food or even ok food DONT go here if I was you the Riverside is better. Poor hygiene that I’ve witnessed and dog hair I’m my cake Lovely looking place but who ever is running it needs to stop and think about what they are doing!! Safe bet is going to the riverside or burger king on the roundabout!! Worst coffee & even dry cake I was not impressed

No frills food with a local twist, with some food locally sourced. Separate breakfast and lunch menus, served in a cosy setting and with an ever present cake options.

Had a few times, very consistently good. The veggie burger as a whole was tasty but the 'meat' was a bit supbar - dry, unpleasant texture, unfortunately common with veggie meat. The chips also have a tendency to be too salty, including the children's chips, which is disappointing. Otherwise, great speedy service and always updating menu.

Ignore all the key board warriors with nothing better to do than moan at small things. A great coffee shop. Nice staff. Lovely location. Will definitely visit again. One review I read mentioned that they had many great visits to this coffee shop but after one negative visit they decided to write a bad review. How petty. It’s a pity they didn’t leave great reviews for all the nice visits they had made there. I love it in there. Lovely coffee. Friendly. Nice and relaxing.

We began our visit with a visit to Nina's Cafe for a cream tea with sandwiches and it was fabulous - a very tasty meal with professional and friendly service. Plenty to see, just a little disappointed that we could not interact with the cats.

I decided not to order breakfast, but a slice of cake. Came out of a fridge & nowhere near fresh. The coffee disappointing. They offer one price on the internet, but arrive there and the prices highly inflated. Overall the place looks run down, inluding the adjacent tat shop which looks closed down. Dire need of a manager

Went there for Sunday lunch which was fabulous, a full choice of Beef, Belly Pork, Chicken and Salmon plus a veggie option too. Everything served piping hot with great vegetables and roasties.

The days when this pub opened as often as this website suggests are long gone. It's a part time pub; the opening hours are on a board but not complete, but presumably known to those who are regular drinkers there.

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.

The chip shop has been closed for a while due to staff going on holiday. Last night we very much enjoyed our chips, chicken and curry sauce.

What an amazing find!! I was visiting Ilminster with my granddaughter today & found 'Cafe Square' & it was just perfect for lunch! Childrens' Menu was great so she was happy & the very kind ladies adapted my request & made my day, gorgeous meal, perfect relaxed surroundings, clean & I can't speak highly enough of the 2 ladies, I will definitely be back next time I visit, thank you soooo much for making my day ladies!!
