The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Came here for lunch. Was a lovely place to sit and the staff were lovely but the food was really poor. We both had a ploughman’s but we would have been better ordering a ham or cheese sandwich as we would have received more! Very small portion for the price and with stale bread and thin ham

We came to do the Santa experience which was dire. Came to the cafe first and it was so unorganised. People on the tills no clue what they were doing , not giving people order numbers, taking ages to take orders. Chips were a large portion when they eventually arrived. Crammed space to eat with uncomfortable chairs. Dread to think what a roast would be like though.

Whatever the various opinions about the previous restaurant were like that is history. The new Ivy House is superb. Friendly waiter service, quick ordering, good prices, lovely location, airy, light, spacious,good atmosphere etc. The opening hours are similar to the Groves nursery so dinner is not an option like most garden centre restaurants. Have been there MANY times since the opening and always enjoyed it

I have previously had coffee here and while it has never been amazing, it is generally OK, though I always feel it is priced too high for the quality of coffee you get. However, today it was perhaps the worst cup of coffee I have tasted in over a decade. I am not sure why but maybe something that the barista and the management need to figure out. There are definitely better places for coffee in broadstone! Happy to guide you to these...

Normally this place is great. A 20 min wait for breakfast though was a bit disappointing. Still better food than Morrisons though.

Friendly greeting from the gentleman serving, a short pause to peruse the menu and order, food served promptly. Two different filling panini, both of us were happy. Cakes looked good but we managed to resist temptation. Would definitely go again

My wife and I both have Shepton connections but had never been to the cafe before. Having g recently retired, we called in for a toasty and a sandwich. The food selection is brilliant, prices really reasonable (no £8 sandwiches here), and the staff really friendly. Sadly, the cafe is up for sale but we really hope to get the chance to return before it closes or goes upmarket.

Excellent ‘Sourdough for starters’ course - very hands on & informative, and a delicious lunch - left with armfuls of bread and other goodies. Sourdough pittas and bagels are a revelation!

Been here for a week and feel like I’ve known everybody for years all staff have been absolutely brilliant service has been incredible food service is fantastic big thanks to Phill as he has welcomed us none local people with open arms with great enthusiasm and recommendations of places to be around the area himself and the team are a credit to the area and I strongly recommend coming in as you will feel very welcomed

Oh dear how very disappointing! Unfriendly staff had to ask for the table to be cleaned twice! As stated before over priced small plates of food. Will not be back & certainly wouldn’t recommend.

We were recently in town visiting and found Georgia's service exceptionally courteous and professional. In fact, in the tearoom, everyone was delightful. Please pass on our thanks.

Rang up today Thursday 15th August to book a table to eat for four of us next Thursday lunchtime to be told They don't serve food anymore...very very disappointed.website needs updating...

Gran noche. A veces puede perderse un poco, ya que es mucho más grande por dentro de lo que parece. Nunca estúpidamente ocupado tampoco

Ordered a bacon and egg bap. Eaten better ones at truck stops!! Over cooked bacon, overcooked egg and served some time after my wife's food was served which was also poor. (see photo) Expected better for the cost

We regularly use the garden centre and cafe and have always found standards excellent. However, our last visit was marred by finding hair in our food. The young man in the kitchen could be seen preparing food with his hair falling down over his face that day. We were rather appalled as standards have always been amazing from the look of the plants and gardens to the toilets which are spotless, everyone seems to take great care in their work, so we hope this is just a one off as it is our go to place for all things garden, the staff are super friendly, knowledge and very helpful. Perhaps the staff could be encouraged to wear the appropriate PPE in the kitchen and cafe. We will be back and hope that the unfortunate incident won’t be repeated .
