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!

Nasty fries, soggy southern fried chicken. Have to put a hundred words for some very bizarre reason, isn’t it enough to say the food was very poor!

Although we did not stay here, whilst visiting the area, we stopped in on several occasions because of the name (if you know you know). What an amazing and friendly welcome, run by family. Even though we were not staying here, we were made to feel like guests in the family home. Would highly recommend and when we are back in the area we intend to stay .

Food was nice. Staff need some more training. Seated with no menus even though we had booked to eat and unsure on the menu. Staff were friendly and polite.

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.

We only went there for Sunday lunch and omg it was excellent. We would recommend the place and we will definitely go again

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.

I've had a few meals here it's always very hit and miss. If you have children over 6 years old please expect to pay adult price for them as menu states children under 6 then goes straight to adult price on the Sunday carvery! So a 7/8 year old is classed as a adult 🤔
