The best restaurants serving British food in West Somerset South West

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!

In Dunster for a week and we ate here on four occasions! Breakfast, lunch, tea and cakes were all delicious. Looking forward to eating here again on our next visit

We visited The Valiant Soldier for Sunday lunch , the restaurant was very busy , so we were glad we had reserved a table . Service was very good and the food was plentiful . Our server noted that we didn’t want large plates of food and we received what we had requested . Well done … A lovely Sunday lunch , so pleased we had chosen the Valliant Soldier for our last holiday meal . The restaurant is in a lovely riverside setting with a garden seating area .

Lovely friendly staff and great atmosphere. Went in for coffee, which was lovely and saw so much good food coming out of the kitchen, decided to stay for lunch. I had the Italian Club Sandwich on granary bread and it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Well worth a visit.

Lovely snack bar, with a great menu, hearty food, and friendly staff. We enjoyed their full English breakfast. Highly recommend (better than Butlins).

Third visit to this gem. Lovely friendly service, nice atmosphere and good menu. We opted for a ploughman's, a feast presented beautifully for under £7. Whats not to like

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

We ate here 3 times in the week, that shows how good it was, do not be put off by the appearance outside, could do with with a few baskets. Nice welcome by the barmen and locals. All the meals were very good, Exmoor burger I had twice, lasagne with the best garlic bread I have ever eaten and chips, chicken wrap, falafel wrap both with chips and scampi.

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

Good service. Nice breakfast bap. Cheesy chips needed more cheese. Pleasant location by the harbour.

Nice little course, a few bits of standing water around but still very playable We didn't eat in the cafe but the staff were friendly Definitlely worth doing if in the area

I drank at the lion inn for a couple of years and was constantly harassed by the local idiot. One evening the local idiot threatened and attacked me as l tried to leave,, avoid this pub at all costs !

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.

Ten years ago I wrote a 5* review of my experience here, based on perceived good value for a vegan pasty. Recently I bought the same product and paid more than double what I did ten years ago. This is no longer good value and I will never buy another Oggy Oggy pasty. It IS, after all, a few veg baked in a bit of pastry - it's not Cordon Bleu!

We made a special stop here to buy some locally-made chocolates, as per the description on Tripadvisor, only to find out that all the chocolates they sell are now imported from Belgium. Disappointed the business owners can't be bothered to keep their listing up-to-date.
