The best restaurants in South Somerset South West

Amazing must visit ! I have been to meet at eight a few times now and wanted to take the time to leave a review, I love the decor very unique and classy the dim lighting creates a lovely atmosphere , I felt like I had left Yeovil for the evening. As an slightly older client it’s lovely to have somewhere nice to go that you can chat to friends , would be a great venue for a date too Staff were incredibly attentive but not too much, very friendly nothing was too much trouble very informative. We sampled a few cocktails all of them I couldn’t fault them well presented, I loved all the different glassware. We had some really great food too , all the snacks complemented the fondue, I hadn’t had one before so wasn’t sure what to expect, I think it’s a very niche choice , I wasn’t disappointed, I will definitely go back a try another flavour Definitely my new favourite venue for a night out , well done all

Outside seating undercover so dog friendly. Inside seating spotless We always plan to have something new from their very extensive menu but.... the breakfasts are just so good that despite visiting almost every other month, A No % breakfast is a must. Amazing value for money, good quality sausages (the standard we judge every breakfast by) and always piping hot. Nothing fancy, more of a working cafe but spotless and great food at a fantastic value. They also do delivery and are very popular.

Popped in at lunchtime to see that the cafe had a new coat of lockdown paint, which gives it a fresher feel. The half breakfasts were great - proper toast and nice banger and bacon. Plenty to eat and not expensive.

I wanted to book a special night out for a birthday celebration and decided to try The Botanical Rooms at The Newt. Having read the recent reviews, I was a little concerned about the variability, but need not have worried. Lovely location, stunning building and a lot of effort had been made with the lighting, both inside and outside as we walked from the car park. We were guided very efficiently through all the menu choices, the girl let herself down when explaining the local nature of the menu firstly tried to tell me that Colchester is 'local' and then that it is on the south coast! She followed this by telling me that the 'locally caught fish' was from Brixham in Dorset! I corrected her and unsurprisingly she stayed clear of us for the rest of the evening! Fortunately, after this the evening improved. LeLe was our waiter and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgable and gave us plenty of good advice. We had the 3 course menu at £95 each and were very pleased with all three courses. We ordered a couple of extra sides with the main course. The Rosé wine by the glass at £12 for 175ml was moderate. I had the on-site produced cider at £6 for 375ml bottle, this was very good. The starter / main course food was excellent, the deserts were not on the same level, but nothing that we would complain about. We thought that the service was excellent. The final bill (inc service) was £254 which we thought was reasonable given the number of chefs visible in the open plan kitchen and the lovely ambience of the dining area. For our next 'special occasion' dinner locally, it will be a toss up between here and the Clockspire!

Popped in for a sandwich, the customer service is always great and the Sandwiches are amazing. Highly recommend the turkey, stuffing & cranberry 👌

A brilliant selection of roles and croissants and pastries and lovely coffee, The staff here are very friendly TripAdvisor I think the Dutch oven do you know this place I've just done a review for

No longer in business, premises is now the cow& apple, wish them the very best in their new location. Shame unique restaurant did not have clientele to support it.

Clean, well presented room with good tea and coffee supplies, which are filled up on request. Possibly the best full English breakfast we have ever had. Owners couldn’t be more friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. Really lovely stay, will be returning.

Booked for dinner but on arrival, they thought we had booked for buffet, fortunately they had a table for us within a short time so we had a pre-dinner drink in the bar, which is fabulous and then went for a lovely meal in the Bistro, it is a small and intimate restaurant and quite modern and food is served on hot rocks, which you cook yourself to your own taste. Nice concept and food was really lovely BUT find that it gets pretty smoky when it is very busy. This is not a unique concept to us and it was a very nice change. Service was attentive and good and wine selection is great. Little pub at the Langport Arms is friendly and wonderful for pre or post drinks too.

We have got into the habit of arriving early at the railway station in order to visit Sue’s Cafe for a hot meal and tea. The food is always hot and fresh and they have never let us down. They have thought of everything, including a small pair of scissors to open the sachets of sauce. The bacon butty and bacon bap this morning were particularly lovely.

Come in for a drink after work most evening, good prices and the manager is great, good banter and can have a laugh with her! Wish more people would come through the door! Pool table is really good too!

Went here with my younger sister recently. The ice cream was ok but the guy kept staring at us both and it made us really uncomfortable. We won’t be going again.

Cake selection good and tasty. Just a pity about state of seating area. Half of the tables look tatty as do the chairs. Half of seating area needs a refurb.

Wonderful converted old chapel with balcony where you can sit, but the tables on the ground floor have equally impressive ambience. Food is excellent - eggs Benedict a delight! Coffee excellent.....but......will it be open when you want to go there? Closed last bank holiday I tried, so tend not to go often as it seems to be a bit of a lottery as to whether it will be open for biz..which is why I have not given this place type rating. If its open and you have not been in before, go in, its fantastic!
