The best restaurants serving Default food in Beckington and Selwood Mendip South West

We got fish and chips take away from Whiterow Fish and Chips. We used to love this place back when it was Scallop Shell, some years ago. We only realised it had changed hands when we arrived, but we were willing to give it a chance since the menu looked similar (and they also had some nice looking cakes in the window, which, while it suggests a lack of focus on fish and chips, also made us think they might know a thing or two about food generally). We got haddock and chips, coleslaw, and a side helping of aioli. The fish was pretty poor - really lacking in freshness and im not even sure it was haddock (if it was haddock, it had started to decompose, because the texture was sticky and oily, unlike any haddock I have ever previously eaten). It comes skin on, which is fine (particularly if the fish had been fresh), but they hadn’t removed all the scales. So, for the fish, 2 out of 5. And this was expensive fish and chips - nearly £18 a portion. Oyster Shell (take away sister of Scallop Shell, which has since moved to Bath) sells outstanding fish and chips at about £13 à portion The coleslaw was also pretty terrible. Mostly mayonnaise, very little flavour, and the portion was tiny (£3 for a volume of about half an apple). The chips were stale and were tough as if they’d been re-heated. The aioli was inoffensive but kind of just tasted like mayonnaise. I did not detect any garlic in it (and, seriously, aioli isn’t just garlic mayonnaise -but if it had been garlic mayonnaise, I’d have been happy). I’d recommend to give this place a wide berth, unless you enjoy spending a small fortune on fish that isn’t very fresh and hasn’t been de-scaled, and stingy sides that aren’t very tasty.

Visited the Bell tonight March 21st. Arrived a bit late but the kitchen staff stayed on a little 👍 Thank you so much for that. The menu is varied enough without being pages and pages. Something for every taste. Kids had chicken nuggets and chips and they are picky little angels. They actually said they were the best nuggets they had ever had !! I had ham egg and chips and it was amazing. Chips fluffy inside, eggs perfect and ham super tasty. Just great homely pub grub that leaves you with a big smile on your face. Thank you very much and we will be back again soon.

I had a family meal for 6 the service was excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful 5 star+

well really didn't hate it, when we visited found that it was out of business. what a shame in a lovely place in the country.

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this hotel. This was my first stay in a ''next evolution style'' Premier Plus room, and it didn't disappoint! It was stylish, had everything I needed, and I had the best sleep in a long time. A Beefeater restaurant is right next door (which was also good!), and there is a Budgens store a short walk away for any essentials. I'd definitely return, I left very happy.

Outstanding food, with low waiting time and good, friendly, efficient service

Friendly lady. Sausage and eggs sandwich made with uncut bread magnificent

Staff unable to cope with just a few customers - must be really ppor when they get busy! Food was cold by the time they'd made my coffee (waited 15 minutes) Other people complaining as well

Very slow... often had wrong orders so we now always go in to order. Even if order is correct it's almost always cold Avoid.

Ordered online and within 15 mins they cancelled my order...no explanation...tried to call no answer...joke of a company, dont waste your Time...

A location that never fails to disappoint. Slow service, cold food, missing items and staff who are clearly lost. This evening, we watched our food waiting to be bagged for 10 minutes whilst a collection of 'crew members' stood looking at it as if they had never completed an order before. Imagine our delight when we arrived home 3 minutes later to find stone cold fries and burgers that looked and tasted as if they had been boiled hours before, left to cool waiting for an unsuspecting customer, or should I say 'Guest' to have the misfortune of ordering. So that this isn't a totally negative review, I should say that all items ordered were in the bag, however it would have been better if every item ordered had been left out of the bag!!!
