The best restaurants serving British food in South Somerset South West

Cracking homely, local pub which is great for a few drinks and/or meal. Warm and friendly staff, nice, relaxed atmosphere. Serves good, homemade, tasty traditional pub grub with wide selection available and all reasonably priced. It’s nothing fancy but doesn’t try to be and that’s why we love it. It’s popular and often gets busy, even on some weeknights, so worth booking if you are going with a group or have in mind a particular time to go.

Lovey carvery with a wide choice of food which all tasted delicious. The beef and pork were both cooked beautifully. Very friendly staff throughout the pub. Great little find on a Sunday.

Poor attitude towards customers. I went into the cafe and ordered a coffee. Paid for the coffee. Then I was told there is a 15minute wait. Manageress was called over to help with the refund. The girl at the till was nice but the manageress made me feel like it was my fault. They were busy she said. So how I am meant to know that? There were plenty of empty tables and I was the only person at the till! Apparently it is normal to wait 15minutes for your coffee. Really?

Great setting and enjoyed the art gallery but disappointed with Roth Bar. Staff were disorganised so ordered at the bar in the end despite it being table service as nobody came. Food was expensive for what we received, the oil definitely needed changing for the fries!

This place is always empty and always get turned away even when the restaurant is empty! When you do get a table the service is excruciatingly slow, with overpriced terrible food. The waiting staff always get the order wrong and are very unapologetic. Bad food, poor beer, overpriced and poor service

After reading the negative reviews on trip adviser we decided we were going anyway and we weren't disappointed yesterday we had to wait a little while for food yesterday the staff were running around trying to keep everyone happy and doing a great job while doing so. Food was excellent relatively cheap eat and drinks give it a try they've definitely got busier over the past few months.

Extremely clean friendly and a great place to eat. Food is great reasonably priced for the meals served great customer service from Ben & Ellie always a pleasure to go there clean airy and if the place is too hot extremely good with the air conditioning it is a pleasure to come to the cafe great meeting place friendly atmosphere and great service what more can be said try it don’t think anybody can be disappointed.

NO LONGER SERVES FOOD went for lunch but found they have stopped serving food. seems a nice pub. had drinks and crisps of various flavours

This is a fast food cheap and cheerful resteraunt ideally placed for a bite before or after visiting the museum .The pies are the best choice

We stayed at the hotel for one night, the room was clean and the breakfast was quite nice. The actual pub was a mess, very run down and depressing. We were booked for two nights but came home after the first day ...... would not recommend this hotel.

Avoid. Chips were stone cold and the cod was awful and grey and half the size it should be. It was long and very thin like it had been cut in half prior to preparing. Absolutely inedible and very overpriced even if it was edible. Had instant noodles instead and the takeaway went in the bin.

First time in this pub for a few years. Always a good cheap meal to be had and nothing has changed. Pleasant and clean pub and we three enjoyed the fish and chips. Pleasant staff and good tasting food. Well presented and the puddings were tasty, perhaps a bit pricey though. However an interesting experience and one we would perhaps repeat at a later date.

Visit regularly for carvery. always tasty with good selection of veggies etc. staff very helpful. Would recommend for a good roast meal.

My wife and I eat in Palmers fish restaurant (the lager one) yesterday evening. The chips were best ever, the way I like them: quite crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The batter on the cod wa just right. Not to thick, not too thin; nice and crisp. I also had a very generous portion of mushy peas. The service was prompt and the several waiters and waitresses very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was light and airy and meticulously clean. We had such a pleasant evening I felt I had to comment. Due to the pandemic we have not ventured out much in the last three years so it was a pleasant surprise. (On other occasions we have eaten at Palmers smaller restaurant in Yeovil where we had an excellent meal too.)

Stayed nearby, and this was traditional pub was recommended to us by the local owner of our accommodation. Large car park, lovely pub, dog friendly, food was fresh and pipping hot and delicious 😋 Friendly service, would definitely visit again.
