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

It was fantastic here. I brought a friend for her birthday. I had researched various places because I am vegan and it is really difficult to get good vegan food (pretty much) anywhere. She really enjoyed her food (she eats pretty much most things), but I REAlLY enjoyed my food. Flavours, textures, content, just fabulous. I cannot wait to visit again. Matt and his team are great. Thank you.

"We have been to Osip on six occasions, both in Bruton and at the new location and at Kingsettle Hill. The food and service was, as usual, exceptional. However, when I got home I noticed that we had been charged £6 for "filtered" water. Now, when we sat down at the table we were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water and I replied tap please, for which I expected it to come out of a reliable Somerset tap as I live in the county 10 miles away and have yet to be warned that our water is unsanitary. If I had wanted argan oil to wash my hands with, I would expect it to be processed from the excreted pellets of goats living in Moroccan trees, However, from a request for water from a tap I would want just that. Considering the meal came to £200 per head and that also being what was paid by your other guests, it was rather a cheap penny pinching act on your part to charge for a unrequested demand. So, what would have been a memorable birthday treat for a close friend has lingered with me over the weekend as a nasty taste in the mouth. I do not intend to recommend Osip to friends until you decide to change this parsimonious activity. ...

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.
