The best restaurants serving British food in Bruton South Somerset South West

Amazing food such a great concept. No decision to make just sit back and enjoy the gorgeous food. Matt a lovely person obviously proud of his restaurant and so he should be. His staff are great too.

I went for the lunchtime tasting menu which is beautifully curated. The multiple courses were artfully presented by knowledgeable staff and each bite was light and delicious. It was lovely to watch the exceptionaly calm kitchen in action. Sadly the photos do not do the food justice!

Popped in for a sandwich, the customer service is always great and the Sandwiches are amazing. Highly recommend the turkey, stuffing & cranberry 👌

Since this venue opened 10 years ago we have traveled the 45 miles from our home at least twice a year. Last Friday evening was the first time we had been back since the major alterations to the layout, splitting the dining area into two quite distinct restaurants. The Roth Bar & Grill has been relocated to a barn area with the bar stuck in the middle thus dividing the area in two. The whole room was dark with uninspiring drab furniture and totally soul-less. Before the "transformation" booking a table at weekends was a must, now, we were the only ones dining there for most of the evening which speaks volumes. I should point out that our food was good although rather expensive for what it was and the staff, who outnumbered us 2:1, were very pleasant. The whole thing is a total disaster and unfortunately it doesn't stop there. The area previously occupied by the Roth Bar & Grill is now an Italian / English restaurant. Gone is the open kitchen and grill area, gone is the lovely quirky bar that you walked through to the seating area and in it's place is a much larger dining area, tables with white table cloths in place of the more rustic furniture, and an absence of character. I noted that only about half the tables were taken. Separating the two restaurants is the old entrance lobby, now just a large empty space save for the books lining the walls. Previously this contained the reception area and book shop and a meat curing room, glass walled and lined on three sides by large salt bricks with whole sides of beef hung, now it is just a wide empty corridor giving access to the two restaurants, the gardens and toilets. Both my wife and I have had a life time in internal and external design, I do not ever recall seeing something of such character totally destroyed by someone with little or no talent. Frankly, it makes me very angry. Yes, it could have been altered to allow for more seating but not like this.
