The best restaurants in Porlock and District West Somerset South West

An excellent and nourishing home made soup, generous portion included a large chunk of nice rustic bread and butter, had set me up on several visits here. Also, real local Miles loose leaf tea sourced from the Miles Tea distribution centre across the road, worth a visit. My fold up walker was easily accommodated, and I noticed it was a dog friendly place. Been here a number of times and the quality and friendly service make me want to return. Thank you for not playing 'demolition music' but instead a calm and muted background of Classic FM Radio.

What a find!! Can not recommend this Tea Room highly enough. We’ve had lots of cream teas over the years, but Bramdowns is the best ever. The homemade scones were amazing. The service was first class and so friendly. The decor and the crockery are lovely, also with the music in the background you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Thoroughly enjoyed it, so much more than just a cream tea. Long May you continue, Ladies. Next time we’re passing by Porlock, Bramdowns, is a definite stop off.

We stayed one night in a gorgeous sea view room. We dined like kings, the food & drink exquisite, mostly local & homegrown. We shall be back!

Pizza is soooo good! Lovely people, friendly and welcoming.

Wonderful house, warm and welcoming hosts, great range of drinks/wines and above all delicious food! We will return and recommend to friends.

This is a regular for us. We've been visiting for years and we love it. The food is delicious, and the staff very friendly and helpful. Our boys particularly love the cannoli! It is mostly outdoor seating (with good views of the harbour), although there is indoor seating as well. We'd highly recommend it.

Stayed a couple of nights but felt like longer. The welcome and homely feel of the place made for such a relaxing break. Staff worked tirelessly and were always helpful. Kim, Olly and Jasmin. And an army of others in the morning, cleaning and changing rooms. Food was superb throughout and if it's not on the main menu then requests for something different are easily catered to. Loved the décor and the many different areas where you can sit, read or play puzzles and games. A superb garden that has had a lot spent on it gives amazing views over the sea. Dogs also welcome and catered for as much as the humans. Don't change a thing!

Last April I posted a scathing review of The Bottom Ship after a particularly bad experience. The owners responded in the best possible way by giving me a gift voucher for a future visit, and today I used that voucher. What a difference! The food was excellent, freshly cooked and delicious, the service was was first class. Having presented the voucher for the meal the staff forgot to charge me for the drinks. Yes, I did remind them! A completely different experience and we'll definitely be going back in the future.

Another lovely evening meal at the Lorna Doone restaurant yesterday. Always so welcoming and friendly. Our guest had the chicken pie, my husband ate the saltimbocca and I had a perfectly cooked, juicy fish. Mel's suggestion of the Sangiovese - as we all felt like red wine - was perfect. Unusually we even went for pudding. I loved the rhubarb pudding and my husband enjoyed the sticky toffee. We'll be back soon! Thank you!

We stayed here over the weekend. We have had food here on previous visits, and it has always been good quality. Add good service, friendly staff, and pub ambience, and it made for a good weekend.

Unfortunately didn't get a chance to try the food so I can't give leave a rating, but I'm sure it would be good given previous reviews. All I'd say is if you do want to eat from here get your order in ASAP otherwise you will be left hungry. We walked in at 7, only one table was taken, but they couldn't take an order for 2 x fish and chips, and there wasn't even a hint of trying to fit our order in. So we left hungry. All I'd say to non local visitors is get there at 5pn or ring early otherwise you may be disappointed, the food looked great which made it worse!!

What a fabulous lunch. There were eight of us who ordered a variety of sandwiches, toasties and cream teas. Food was excellent and great value for money. Service was quick and friendly. People have written reviews complaining about the decor which is actually very tastefully done. Besides, with such great food in a beautiful setting why worry about the decor!

Beautiful setting; a quintessential English garden. We have visited Kitnors over the past few years whilst holidaying in Devon but our last visit was very disappointing. Ordered cheese on toast and cheese scones. Thin sliced loaf with thinly processed cheese. Scones were tiny with thinly sliced processed cheese. Small portions of chutney. All served on small tea plates. We’ve always promoted Kitnors to others but sadly not anymore. Staff were friendly but food was poor.

Absolutely gorgeous food taste they get the spices right will absolutely return next time we are in Somerset

The chef is brilliant very warm welcome nothing was to much trouble very friendly Clean and welcoming definitely would recommend will continue to eat there
