The best restaurants serving Default food in Quantock Vale West Somerset South West

The selection is great but best get your skates on if, it sells out quickly. The jams my hubby bought home were among the best we've tried and he fell in love with the marmalade.

Amanda did all the catering for my birthday celebrations in Woolavington, Bridgwater, and she really did me proud. Amanda guided me towards an easily managed menu suitable for all ages ranging from 2 to 95 years. It worked perfectly. Friday night's hot meal on was followed the next day by a hot buffet (chicken provencal, cottage pie and dauphinoise potatoes), salads, a wonderful lemon meringue pie, huge chocolate cake, breads, sausage rolls, large quiche and much more. The really generous portions fed 20 adults and 6 children with left overs. The food was much-praised with the outstanding comment came from one young granddaughter who can be rather choosy. Having asked who made the cottage pie she declared it to be the best she had ever had - praise indeed. I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda and her catering. Thank you.

The Castle of Comfort is an incredible place.

We were so looking forward to staying here again this year. We’ve stayed before on a few occasions as our parents live here and we travel from the Highlands to visit. I just wish we’d read the reviews before we booked again; we booked due to our past stays and thought it would be the same experience. Sadly not. The room was clean for sure but there is no decent breakfast, they only offer cooked options on the weekend if the chef actually shows up, the “ continental breakfast” they offer is self service dry croissants, folded pack ham with chunks of cheese in a mini fridge and a wee kettle to prepare your own coffee. Oh and a bowl of questionable fruit. The atmosphere is NIL. 3 times I spoke to them about dinner reservations and still it wasn’t booked for our family of 6 on the night. The menu is uninspiring and very little for a vegetarian diet and they ask that you preorder your meal during the day so I suspect your meal isn’t fresh at dining time and the restaurant shuts at 8pm the bar was all shut up by 9pm and the place in darkness. We cancelled our dinner reservation and ate elsewhere in Kilve. The previous owners Carol & Julie are sorely missed and it saddens me greatly that all the years of work, love and commitment they put into making the castle of comfort the fantastic hotel it was had all gone to waste. We paid £160 B&B - vastly overpriced, no value for money just not enjoyable anymore and it stinks of fried food. There is no one to meet you, greet you. We dangled about for ages trying to check out, we could have simply walked out. Needless to say, we won’t be coming again and won’t be recommending it to others, my other family members won’t be coming back either.

We enjoyed two wonderful dinners and our meals were prepared by a suburb chef, a total surprise never expected the high standard that was delivered. The atmosphere and service is excellent, I look forward to visiting the area and will not miss a meal here.

Customer service terrible! After cancelling a booking a couple of hours after making it and calling and emailing several times to question the deposit of £50 being kept, I was ignored and then finally got a very rude supervisor calling to tell me I had read the terms and conditions incorrectly. She said that I obviously couldn’t afford it and didn’t want to pay which I found very insulting! I repeatedly asked to speak to the manager and she denied my request. I’ve never been spoken to so rudely and with such a condescending attitude by a hotel or any business that supposedly prides themselves on a warm, friendly customer experience.

Have eaten here several times in the last few years and find the Hood Arms consistent in the high standard of their food. Recommended.

Great ambience with charming, attentive staff. Food was excellent and great value for money. Would definitely revisit if we are in the area again.

Used to be good, a proper tea stop. Now feels more like a cheap take away with disposable everything and measley portions of cream. Still a nice setting but that's about it.

Good food staff happy and helpful very good service 👍

Just a short 1 night stay and had the blue cheese burger with bacon for dinner, which was very good.

Land lady is a complete fruit loop, beware! She will involve you in family arguments, drag you into things that are not your concern and then blame you for getting involved even though you've told her not to involve you!
