The best restaurants in Porlock and District West Somerset South West

We love the big cheese, in fact I have just finished the delicious cheddar purchased from their deli on our holiday in Porlock last week. It's also a great place for your morning coffee and cake, located in the centre of this delightful seaside town with comfortable seating and a very genial host. Thank you to the staff at the big cheese - we will be back soon.

We had nice roast evening meals. Will visit again when next in Porlock. Cash only though, no cards. Recommended.

Staying at porlock weir..such a beautiful place. Had a coffee at this little cafe. .good size coffees .service very good. Didn't eat so can't comment on food

We returned to this please after many years for cream tea. What a disappointment it was. As soon as we entered the garden the entrance of which looked a bit overgrown, 2 ladies were chatting away ignoring as completely and we weren’t sure if we had to order at the counter or wait to be served. Eventually, we realized that we had to order at the counter. We ordered cream tea for 2 choosing earl grey with slices of lemon. They didn’t have any lemon which is fair enough therefore we opted for coffee instead, which was very average. The scones were some of the smallest we have ever had. It is not beluga caviar, it is just flour! The garden was not quite as idyllic as we remembered it. we understand that over a period of time things change but unfortunately not always for the better. The jam and cream were ok. The day after, while waiting at the bus stop in Porlock, we started chatting to a couple and funny enough they had had a similar experience, so here we go

I’ve been here many times and every time is just as good as the last. I can not fault this place, the food is just incredible, I can’t say I’ve ever had a bad meal at Ziangs, it’s consistent, always full of flavour and well worth the money. The staff are lovely as well which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable and I’m so happy to see them still going after the rotten few years we’ve had. I think it’s great that they have adapted to the times as last time I went they where serving Chinese takeaway food because I think delivery’s of some ingredients where hard, they have now gone back to the Malaysian food which I’m so happy about as it’s just faultless! these guys really know what they’re doing when it comes to the food they serve and you can tell they are passionate about it too which it just wonderful

An lovely tea Garden and great for a ploughman's lunch. The staff are very pleasant and the service and quality of the food is excellent.

Was really disappointed with the service, was not what I was use to, ( usually one of our best places to visit ) there were different people running it from the kitchen and they had no idea whether they were coming or going, the ( cook ) was walking around the small prep area stuffing food in his mouth while prepare drinks and food for customers. While the lady that served me at the counter questioned everything I asked for then passed the order to the ( cook ) and I’m sure I was over charged as she seem to start putting prices through the till then walked away from the till when she came back asked had i paid being truthful I said not yet so she put more prices into the till, should have challenged it but she already seemed confused as to what she was supposed to be doing didn’t want to upset her more. It is doubtful we will return.

Great breakfast both Full breakfast and the large big breakfast. A good find on a wet and windy Saturday. Nice breakfast well cooked to order so expect a little wait but worth waiting for and the dog was allowed to come inside as well.

Stopped here for coffee and cake whilst my children were crabbing. The lady that served us was an absolute delight! Worth a visit for her friendly and welcoming service <3

This place is a MUST for anyone who is looking for fine food at a reasonable price, excellent quality food cooked by a bloody genius chef. Waiting staff are quick and professional. The overall experience was BRILLIANT. 10/10!! 👌

We stayed for the weekend and ate there for every meal - breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was a great selection of good, straightforward, well cooked and delicious food efficiently served by friendly helpful folk. There was a delightfully friendly atmosphere throughout the whole of our stay. We will definitely be visiting again, the sooner then better!

Good local pub that fitted us in for dinner at the last minute, and just after they'd closed the kitchen! Top service - recommended!

We really enjoyed our meal here. We were greeted in a very friendly manner &amp; engaged in conversation. The room where we had our lunch was full of books &amp; old photos of The Castle - which we loved. The food was reasonably priced &amp; not too bad.
