The best restaurants serving British food in Porlock and District West Somerset South West

An excellent and nourishing home made soup, generous portion included a large chunk of nice rustic bread and butter, had set me up on several visits here. Also, real local Miles loose leaf tea sourced from the Miles Tea distribution centre across the road, worth a visit. My fold up walker was easily accommodated, and I noticed it was a dog friendly place. Been here a number of times and the quality and friendly service make me want to return. Thank you for not playing 'demolition music' but instead a calm and muted background of Classic FM Radio.

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.

Another lovely evening meal at the Lorna Doone restaurant yesterday. Always so welcoming and friendly. Our guest had the chicken pie, my husband ate the saltimbocca and I had a perfectly cooked, juicy fish. Mel's suggestion of the Sangiovese - as we all felt like red wine - was perfect. Unusually we even went for pudding. I loved the rhubarb pudding and my husband enjoyed the sticky toffee. We'll be back soon! Thank you!

We stayed here over the weekend. We have had food here on previous visits, and it has always been good quality. Add good service, friendly staff, and pub ambience, and it made for a good weekend.

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.

Was really disappointed with the service, was not what I was use to, ( usually one of our best places to visit ) there were different people running it from the kitchen and they had no idea whether they were coming or going, the ( cook ) was walking around the small prep area stuffing food in his mouth while prepare drinks and food for customers. While the lady that served me at the counter questioned everything I asked for then passed the order to the ( cook ) and I’m sure I was over charged as she seem to start putting prices through the till then walked away from the till when she came back asked had i paid being truthful I said not yet so she put more prices into the till, should have challenged it but she already seemed confused as to what she was supposed to be doing didn’t want to upset her more. It is doubtful we will return.

Stopped here for coffee and cake whilst my children were crabbing. The lady that served us was an absolute delight! Worth a visit for her friendly and welcoming service <3

This place is a MUST for anyone who is looking for fine food at a reasonable price, excellent quality food cooked by a bloody genius chef. Waiting staff are quick and professional. The overall experience was BRILLIANT. 10/10!! 👌

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!

Good local pub that fitted us in for dinner at the last minute, and just after they'd closed the kitchen! Top service - recommended!
