The best restaurants serving British food in West Somerset South West

Oh my, what a treat , called in for a cream tea, delicious beyond words.. Best scones we have ever had, served with clotted cream and scrumptious whortleberry jam....real leaf tea accompanied, served by a very nice gentleman , who enlightened us on all the local fruits. Absolutely a must if you are in Porlock, we look forward to returning

What a find!! Can not recommend this Tea Room highly enough. We’ve had lots of cream teas over the years, but Bramdowns is the best ever. The homemade scones were amazing. The service was first class and so friendly. The decor and the crockery are lovely, also with the music in the background you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Thoroughly enjoyed it, so much more than just a cream tea. Long May you continue, Ladies. Next time we’re passing by Porlock, Bramdowns, is a definite stop off.

We spotted the sign for this on the drive through, so after visiting the castle, walked back to find it. So glad we did. We had the platter to share, not a single thing could be faulted. Service was excellent. We loved the look of the cakes but were just so full, so purchased 2 to take home for later that day. Really sad I forgot to leave a tip, too busy chatting to the staff & looking around so much to see, even a gin distillery. We will be back.

We were so looking forward to staying here again this year. We’ve stayed before on a few occasions as our parents live here and we travel from the Highlands to visit. I just wish we’d read the reviews before we booked again; we booked due to our past stays and thought it would be the same experience. Sadly not. The room was clean for sure but there is no decent breakfast, they only offer cooked options on the weekend if the chef actually shows up, the “ continental breakfast” they offer is self service dry croissants, folded pack ham with chunks of cheese in a mini fridge and a wee kettle to prepare your own coffee. Oh and a bowl of questionable fruit. The atmosphere is NIL. 3 times I spoke to them about dinner reservations and still it wasn’t booked for our family of 6 on the night. The menu is uninspiring and very little for a vegetarian diet and they ask that you preorder your meal during the day so I suspect your meal isn’t fresh at dining time and the restaurant shuts at 8pm the bar was all shut up by 9pm and the place in darkness. We cancelled our dinner reservation and ate elsewhere in Kilve. The previous owners Carol & Julie are sorely missed and it saddens me greatly that all the years of work, love and commitment they put into making the castle of comfort the fantastic hotel it was had all gone to waste. We paid £160 B&B - vastly overpriced, no value for money just not enjoyable anymore and it stinks of fried food. There is no one to meet you, greet you. We dangled about for ages trying to check out, we could have simply walked out. Needless to say, we won’t be coming again and won’t be recommending it to others, my other family members won’t be coming back either.

This is the Cafe that used to be 'Mortimers' so was keen to see if the slow service had improved......it has! Attentive staff and plain but very good food served quickly and in a friendly different atmosphere. Well done! New Owners ! We will, and already have, been back !

Fantastic food served and cooked by really nice, friendly people. Don't let the fact that it's on an Industrial estate put you off, or you'll be missing out. Transport type cafe with everything cooked freshly, but you don't have to wait too long for your hot, delicious food. In or out, your food will be brought to you by very friendly ladies who are always smiling!! Prices are very, very competitive and, in my opinion, the best value for money in the town. Next time we're up from Hayle, we'll be visiting again, and again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

What a great find. Simonsbath, as an Exmoor location, has a lot to offer. Its a great starting point for walking, its very picturesque and there is car parking, loos and the Exmoor Inn. But, during the day when what you really need is a warm welcome, a hot drink and a hearty meal, Boeveys is a great choice. Nicely busy when we went and obviously a location for friends to meet given its position on the crossroads. In good weather you can sit outside but inside is very comfortable with great facilities. We had the soup which was excellent and dried out a little following an earlier rather damp downstream walk to Cow Castle.

Amanda did all the catering for my birthday celebrations in Woolavington, Bridgwater, and she really did me proud. Amanda guided me towards an easily managed menu suitable for all ages ranging from 2 to 95 years. It worked perfectly. Friday night's hot meal on was followed the next day by a hot buffet (chicken provencal, cottage pie and dauphinoise potatoes), salads, a wonderful lemon meringue pie, huge chocolate cake, breads, sausage rolls, large quiche and much more. The really generous portions fed 20 adults and 6 children with left overs. The food was much-praised with the outstanding comment came from one young granddaughter who can be rather choosy. Having asked who made the cottage pie she declared it to be the best she had ever had - praise indeed. I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda and her catering. Thank you.

The selection is great but best get your skates on if, it sells out quickly. The jams my hubby bought home were among the best we've tried and he fell in love with the marmalade.

First time using bapmobile since it changed hands, absolutely fantastic service and the food was amazing. I called them up to place my order, I was told to make my way down in 10/15 minutes. When I arrived the food was pretty much ready. The lad that served me was very polite. The food was absolutely beautiful, I had the cheese and bacon burger with onions. Food was piping hot and was to die for. I for sure can definitely recommend bapmobile.I will 100% be using bapmobile in the very near future. We'll done mate keep doing what you are doing 👍

Always friendly and always good food

Loved it, the coffee was great and the cake's delicious 😋

called in for lunch-terrific food and drinks-good value-staff looked to be enjoying themselves - would recommend this cafe and will go again-best Mocha drink i've had for ages

What a charming restaurant, been coming to Dunster for years and never had the opportunity to try it before. We had a set Christmas menu which we all loved, fabulous attentive staff who knew everyones name from the first course, and such a delightful ambience and festive decorations, thank you for such a great evening, we will be back!

No longer open sadly, but great to talk to the person who used to run it...
