The best restaurants serving British food in Shepton East Mendip South West

Every dish was perfect from crab cake starters to creme Brûlées. Our family table of six had three different choices of mains, salmon, chicken and venison. Every plate was perfect, with tasty sauces, jus, creamy leeks and lemon butter sauce with the fish. We all had desserts and wine too. This is how restaurants should be, great service, no rush and absolutely stunning food.

We poped in for lunch after visiting the East Somerset Railway, the pub is a stones throw from the ESR entrance. They had a great deal on for lunch and both the food and service we're delightful!

Really good food. Takeaway too. Waitress service.

We stayed here just for one night and had dinner and breakfast and it was so friendly and inviting, the food was amazing and the staff are so nice and friendly definitely would go back again

We would highly recommend the Sunday lunch It was excellent

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.

Beautiful pub, great food, very welcoming staff. Had lunch here on route to St Ives.

Had a great experience today visiting Dobbies Shepton Mallet. We were helped by great members of staff and had a great lunch in the restaurant.

Booked table . Restaurant empty, no one else in the dining room. Had to ask where we put our coats. Service extremely slow , ordered pre-lunch drinks at bar as no one attended to us, and had to ask for menu as no-one came to take our order. Long, long wait for main course and inbetween courses. Main courses very tasty but whole meal served already on plates not in serving dishes. Puddings very disappointing, profiteroles stodgy , heavy , no cream or sauce with these or the chocolate tart, very basic . Had to go to bar to request coffees. We were very neglected , staff were more interested in putting Christmas decorations up and putting fake flower arrangements around. It took three hours for five persons to be served lunch and it felt as if we were unimportant. Very disappointed , lots of staff but no attention to dining guests.

Me ,my husband, brother and parents came for a Carvery on the 13th of this month and without a doubt it knocks the socks off any other carverys I've had , the food is all freshly made by the head chef Ivor and team , Ivory's food is out of this world , the bar staff are so friendly and welcoming, we were so surprised at the fantastic value for 3 mixed Carverys and two single meat carverys it was only £73 fantastic value for a country pub we would definitely go again and highly recommend
