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

The chef is brilliant very warm welcome nothing was to much trouble very friendly Clean and welcoming definitely would recommend will continue to eat there

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

I’ve been here many times and every time is just as good as the last. I can not fault this place, the food is just incredible, I can’t say I’ve ever had a bad meal at Ziangs, it’s consistent, always full of flavour and well worth the money. The staff are lovely as well which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable and I’m so happy to see them still going after the rotten few years we’ve had. I think it’s great that they have adapted to the times as last time I went they where serving Chinese takeaway food because I think delivery’s of some ingredients where hard, they have now gone back to the Malaysian food which I’m so happy about as it’s just faultless! these guys really know what they’re doing when it comes to the food they serve and you can tell they are passionate about it too which it just wonderful

Great place to stop on the coastal road from Porlock to Lynmouth. Large parking area with amazing views over Exmoor so you don't have to be a rambler to visit! Super friendly, super dog friendly, super warm in a cold day with a log burner roaring away. For the hardy or a warm day there is a welcoming grassed area outside with tables and views. Excellent range of food and drinks a a great place for snacks or a light lunch. I can recommend the bacon - thick cut and not too salty - in a generous toasted sandwich along with cheddar and a hint of mustard. Delish! Exmoor Coastal bus stops here when running in Spring to Autumn.

Spent one night in Porlock, came here as looked inviting and the reviews were positive. Had a lovely pie meal on a freezing day, fresh food cooked to order. Lovely beef and horseradish pie, packed full, crunchy veg and generous helping of gravy... accompanied by a great glass of merlot. Really enjoyed my meal and appreciated the warm welcome after a long journey. Thank you!

I wasn’t sure what to expect, I booked this over Christmas just so I complete a couple of sections of the SWCP. To be honest I just wanted a base, I hadn’t planned in being in much. But I’ve just booked a second night in the restaurant because the food is soooo lush! The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are so helpful. Lovely little pub which is clearly popular with the locals so I’d suggest you book a table during peak season

Popped in for a takeaway sandwich before heading off for a walk. The sandwich was lovely and fresh with a generous amount of good quality cheese and pickle. The sandwich was well packaged. I also noticed that the shop and toilet was immaculate.

We returned to this please after many years for cream tea. What a disappointment it was. As soon as we entered the garden the entrance of which looked a bit overgrown, 2 ladies were chatting away ignoring as completely and we weren’t sure if we had to order at the counter or wait to be served. Eventually, we realized that we had to order at the counter. We ordered cream tea for 2 choosing earl grey with slices of lemon. They didn’t have any lemon which is fair enough therefore we opted for coffee instead, which was very average. The scones were some of the smallest we have ever had. It is not beluga caviar, it is just flour! The garden was not quite as idyllic as we remembered it. we understand that over a period of time things change but unfortunately not always for the better. The jam and cream were ok. The day after, while waiting at the bus stop in Porlock, we started chatting to a couple and funny enough they had had a similar experience, so here we go

Great little cafe with beautiful views over Porlock Weir and across the bay. Helpful and cheerful staff and a great place to chill out.

Had lunch excellent food excellent service would definitely recommend but highly recommend you book first gets full and busy extremely fast

We visited The Castle for a family funeral. The staff were incredibly attentive and couldn't do enough for us. A special mention to Rose, who did a superb job running the bar and serving food. The pub has a good atmosphere and would be good for a casual meal or a quick pint.

The breading of the fish and ships was really not good (only greasy and without any consistency), normal pea puree/fries. No lemon. The sauces were individually packaged, the tartar sauce tasted absolutely not like tartar sauce. Very little choice in beers (all the kegs were empty and apparently nothing in stock), I had to take a bottled beer which tasted nothing good. Bar door open, it was really cold to eat. The staff was very nice despite everything, too bad!

We really enjoyed our meal here. We were greeted in a very friendly manner & engaged in conversation. The room where we had our lunch was full of books & old photos of The Castle - which we loved. The food was reasonably priced & not too bad.
