The best restaurants in Bishop's Lydeard Taunton Deane South West

Very nice food a lovely little gem hidden in the countryside. Anyone travelling in their direction should definitely stop off and try the delicious menu they have on offer

Had Sunday lunch and food was delicious. Was served quickly and great atmosphere in the restaurant.

I celebrated my 30th birthday here with my husband. I made a reservation for a Thursday at 11 am and there was already a line forming. It’s a super popular restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu was extensive and we had a lot to choose from. I picked the Queens Tea service with black currant tea, fruit, salad, cookies, a scone with Devonshire cream and jam, crumpet, & Tuna sandwiches, salmon and cream cheese as well. I would love to try the Branston and pickle one next time! We also ordered the Shepards pie which really took me back to my childhood. All the food was delicious, fresh, & came in a timely manner. The staff were friendly, and the vibe was immaculate. I also appreciated the candy in the bathroom lol. Great birthday overall!

Fabulous birthday eve dinner, thank you Sioben, Harrison, Sofia. Molly, Lilly-Mae and Ruby in fact all the Friday staff were excellent thank you

Soggy quiche alert!! We have been using this wonderful farm shop for years and most of the produce is fantastic. However, the quiche’s are so wet and soggy!! We bought 5 a few days ago for a walk and they were inedible.

We had our wedding breakfast on the Quantock belle , it was amazing ,the food the staff everyone was amazing. Our guest are still talking about our wonderful day. I must say that David Nobel help us from the begging to the very end , he did more than what he should. The staff all volunteers once again couldn’t fault them. The train was amazing , clean and the service was first class. The chef Sam well how can he do such an amazing quality of food is a credit to him. Thank you Sam. So we cannot recommend them enough. So if you want something different for your wedding or special day , don’t hesitate , we had 76 guests it all went smoothly. So Thankyou David and all your wonderful staff. Maria & James

Today we had lunch for 19 people and I cannot fault our experience. Huge thank you to all involved; Ben, Barry (and your team) and of course owners Tim and Jane for such a warm welcome, absolutely amazing food and superb service. We all had such a brilliant day! We will 100% be back soon!

A celebration meal with friends. The food was wonderful and the service was first rate too. It was a friends birthday and we left feeling like we had a truly special evening. Would recommend this place to anyone

Having met friends for a walk at Fyne Court we decided to call in for some lunch afterwards. What a little gem! Beautiful pub, clean and well presented. Cheerful helpful staff, good menu which catered for our Vegan and Gluten free friends. We would definitely visit again

Okay place for pub food with its own different atmosphere.

Excellent Thai food, great drinks, and friendly service.

I have eaten here before and the food was excellent, but I decided to bring my new partner along and stay for the weekend. We booked the Exmore suite which has a 600 year old four poster bed. Have to say waking up in the morning and looking out of the window all you can see is lovely Greenfields and it really does make you think that you’re in the middle of nowhere. There is also a footpath that leads up to the Beautiful Quantock Hills. Breakfast each morning was available at 8 am and I have to say you need a healthy appetite to get through that. A full English and as much toast and coffee as you can drink.. we went out each day and had a great time and we both look so forward to going back and having our evening meal at the pub which was always delicious. Saturday night was live music, Irish singer and the place was packed to the rafters. We were made to feel very welcome by the locals and had a very, very enjoyable night.. Sunday started with Breakfast and then he went back to Taunton to explore it further, which was very enjoyable. I come back early afternoon for a Sunday lunch.. I can say the beef was to die for with Beautiful roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding lots of different kinds of veg and of course amazing gravy. My partner being a vegetarian went for the. Beetroot tart which she said was amazing and must say it did look delicious.. Thank you very much to the landlord landlady and of course the staff . We both had an amazing time and we will definitely be back..

Located in Bishop's Lydiard, a very good takeaway food, open 6 days a week between 5pm and 10 pm..open also on bank holidays 😀 You can place your order over the phone and go pick it up so you don't have to wait over there,they don't do any deliveries. Good food, good service. Definitely recommended...enjoy it

Everyone needs a drink after 90 minutes ambling along on a steam train. This is a small cafe at the journey's end . It's ideal for a quick pasty and a hot chocolate before journeying home .It even comes in a special railway carton

Called in for lunch at The Bird in Hand. We were welcomed by the landlady, who had on offer a wide range of real ales, ciders and lagers. As it was lunchtime, and we had detailed cerebral work to do later, we both opted for soft drinks The Bird in Hand has a great village pub feel and is clearly both 'a local' and visited by those further afield. I clarified with the landlady about the open mic sessions on the last Thursday of each month. I have still to get to one of those. It was a beautiful day, so we had our basket meal in the quiet and peaceful rear garden. This is a great pub to visit - both at lunchtimes and in the evenings.
