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.

We had another excellent meal at the ship, the team as always work hard to provide a warm and welcoming place to take a seat and enjoy the great food on offer, good selection of ales and everyone is treated as an equal.. we had the lamb rump and a venison burger both top class, had a sweet each which finished the meal nicely

What a fabulous lunch. There were eight of us who ordered a variety of sandwiches, toasties and cream teas. Food was excellent and great value for money. Service was quick and friendly. People have written reviews complaining about the decor which is actually very tastefully done. Besides, with such great food in a beautiful setting why worry about the decor!

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

Lovely place, great coffee, great cakes, good service. It was a chilly day but the cafe was warm and cheerful. Would definitely recommend.

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 stayed for the weekend and ate there for every meal - breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was a great selection of good, straightforward, well cooked and delicious food efficiently served by friendly helpful folk. There was a delightfully friendly atmosphere throughout the whole of our stay. We will definitely be visiting again, the sooner then better!

Amazing Sunday lunch I'm a big eater did me in lol
