The best restaurants serving British food in Porlock and District 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.

Superb meal, excellent and friendly service.

Came here for the first time for pre-Xmas drinks with partner and family after seeing reviews online. I’ve lived locally for 29 years and never stepped foot in here but glad we did. Lovely atmosphere, fire lit, nice drinks and wonderful food. Even better that they offer gluten free food. Came back a few times for lunch with both my MIL and my partner and kids-enjoyed it every time.

Absolutely perfect little tea room after a hike in Selworthy woods. Would highly recommend planning a walk and coming here afterwards! Scones tasted homemade and fresh, dogs and muddy boots are welcome here.

We had nice roast evening meals. Will visit again when next in Porlock. Cash only though, no cards. Recommended.

Staying at porlock weir..such a beautiful place. Had a coffee at this little cafe. .good size coffees .service very good. Didn't eat so can't comment on food

An lovely tea Garden and great for a ploughman's lunch. The staff are very pleasant and the service and quality of the food is excellent.

A lovely welcome from the owner on arrival very chatty. He served us a decent pot of tea and a freshly cooked tasty pastie certainly will be returning

Great little cafe with beautiful views over Porlock Weir and across the bay. Helpful and cheerful staff and a great place to chill out.

SUCH A BRILLIANT FIND!! Having booked for the weekend at the Porlock Weir Hotel (equally brilliant - review to follow) we were keen to try something different - and The Bottom Ship certainly didn't disappoint us!! Friendly, attentive staff - a REALLY decent session beer (the local Otter Pale Ale) and an evening meal the hotel would have been proud of!!! THANK YOU!!!!

We visited The Castle for a family funeral. The staff were incredibly attentive and couldn't do enough for us. A special mention to Rose, who did a superb job running the bar and serving food. The pub has a good atmosphere and would be good for a casual meal or a quick pint.

£3.40 for a 330ml can of diet coke. Make up your own mind. Won't be going there again!
