The best restaurants in England

The George is an outstanding village pub that is one of the hubs of this small, rural farming community. I have lived all over the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland, as well as Cyprus and Germany and the village residents and the pub are more welcoming and friendly than anywhere else I've lived. Local residents and visitors to the area support the George because they enjoy the people and the atmosphere. Perhaps it might not appeal to certain types of people who don't understand how a rural community functions and, if that is the case, then they should simply go else where.

Stopped here this morning for a cuppa. Hubby had a cheese toasties and tea , I had a coffee and doorstep toast. Both were very good, really enjoyed them.

Popped along one evening. Found a space in the road outside. They have a great menu with lots of ingredients. You can make your own or go for one of the set waffles. We had lots of fun decided what to do. I opted for ice cream a mixture of vanilla, smarties, chocolate sauce etc while the rest of the family went for bubble waffles. There were a few tables outside to eat. Everything tasted delicious

Tony and Jack arranged my Aunt's wake. We couldn't have asked for more. From initial enquiry right though to the end of the day nothing was too much. Catered for all dietary requests and the food was first class and plentiful. Thank you from all the family

Been coming to Pam’s for years. Today I had their Chicken, hosin sauce, rice, spring onion and cucumber( the weeks special) and it was amazing! Never had a poor meal, ALWAYS quick, food hot, and great quality. Great selection of food. Brilliant delivery service and the team are just so friendly and happy. Highly recommend and well done Pam’s! 👏👏👏🤩

Lovely little gem of a place. Amazing food, great service, very welcoming. A charming little treasure trove to wander around with a beautiful sunny court yard at the back, very relaxing. So glad I found this place I will certainly be returning. Highly recommended if you’re in or passing through Ilminster you won’t be disappointed 😊

Absolutely shocking got fish chips and curry the fish was soggy like mush asif it was not fresh and had been frozen it won’t be the same again so won’t be ever going again !

We had lunch here today, in the garden. We chose the sweet potato burger (with a yummy brown roll and a delicious sriracha mayonnaise) and the Buddha box (brown rice, falafel, hummus, veg) and thought both were excellent for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike - tasty and healthy and not expensive. I don’t know when I was last so impressed with a meal in a cafe! Service with a smile, too.

Exceptionally tasty food, would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back to try other menu choices. Excellent variety of meals, snacks and drinks. Fantastic friendly staff, made to feel very welcome. Thank you very much 😊

Our usual go to brunch place is closed for refurbishment so we thought we’d give One Up a try. Turned out to be a good choice. I had the full breakfast my wife poached eggs on toast accompanied by 2 flat whites. My breakfast passed the sausage test and the flat whites passed my wife’s exacting test. The staff were all great. This could be our new to go place for brunch.

We used Park Street Kitchen for a work based Black History month event, the food wnet quickly and all participant were raving about how yummy it was 😊 Emma was really good she worked with me to devise a selection based on my budget and delivered in a timely manner so we could set up in good time for the event. I will def be using PSK again

Lovely place, great atmosphere and very friendly staff especially a gentleman named Lou. My friends and I will definitely be returning again soon.

Made an order for three pasta dishes and a garlic bread for delivery last night , only two turned up and dough balls ! Complained and received a £4 refund which was not even the difference between the meal and dough balls ! Portions were tiny and arrived cold . Had not used them in some time so obviously had gone badly downhill. A disgrace

I just tried to order 2 pizzas via their app, which didn't work, then over the Internet on a PC, which also didn't work. When I phoned to try and tell them and order over the phone, I was told no orders could be taken that way and Shap Pizza was so interested in being told that their app wasn't working.....they put the phone down on me! Sorry but we live locally and that isn't impressive.

Another great relaxing evening at the Great Western, staff as usual, on the ball, smiling and having a laugh with everyone. Pork pie on the bar for anyone to have, went down well with a few pints of Guinness. Pub is so relaxing, great place to chill.
