The best restaurants serving British food in West Somerset South West

Nice country pub with food. The pate starter I had was small and basic, but in fairness very tasty. I had muscle linguine as a main that was served in a frightening hot bowl that continued to cook and dry out the food. The pasta was served with a heap of parmesan on the top which was not mentioned on the menu and made it very cheesy. Friendly service but the chef is best kept in the kitchen and not customer facing. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Macaubas is one of the more refined restaurants in minehead, with happy friendly staff only to eger to serve you, with a more than over the top menu in food and drinks open five days a week. Just renewed lease for the next three years, and sadly it will probably be the end of the road after that. (A sad loss to Minehead. )

We have always visited this restaurant over the last 20+ years since my wife’s mother moved to Minehead. This was the first time we felt like we were intruding and unwanted as a customer. We arrived for a 12:00 booking and immediately had the owner remind us that the table had to be free by 13:30. We had a reasonable meal although there’s not much you can get wrong with scampi and chips! But then to have the owner stand next to our table and say to other diners who had just arrived some 10 mins early for their table, ‘I have told them we need the table!’ was both rude and uncalled for. It is such a shame, a place that we had such fond memories of, and thought we were valued customers, but no longer unfortunately.

Dog and human friendly. Scones to die for and lots of delicious sweet and savoury options. Parking opposite side of bridge.

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!

Cracking service great portions and the chef peals his own spuds and fillets own fish Highly recommended

Really nice coffee suited my palate.

Called in for a drinks before setting out for a walk along Minehead seafront. Staffed by friendly, helpful volunteers, our drinks were freshly made and, f you want a quick snack, there's breakfasts, jacket potatos, etc, on the blackboard menu and cakes on the counter. There's seating both inside and outside, where there's a view of the actual turntable itself and of the other steam trains in the station. There's also a large book stall nearby. Toilet facilities are available on the station.

A very good dog friendly pub with rooms. Rooms clean, food brilliant, friendly staff and dogs allowed everywhere. Only thing that could be improved is the guest entrance to the hotel, very tired and need of updating. Otherwise a brilliant stay!

Super little cafe. Fab views of sea. Indoor & outdoor seating. Free parking nearby. Dog friendly with lots of dog bowls provided. They also do ice cream for dogs as well as humans. Nice food at a good price with some reasonably priced options. Great choice of coffee and cake.

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.

The roast dinner is the best roast I have ever had in my life and would highly recommend

Great place for Sundays lunch and a party welcome

Great welcome from the hosts, who gave great advice on things to do and see in the area. We had a lovely 1 night stay at the Notley Arms. Lovely clean and comfy room. Great evening meal and breakfast in the pub which had a great atmosphere. We would stay here again.

Excellent food. Very good service.
