HOTEL Chocolat in Mendip

The refurb of this place is of a very high standard and the staff are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the food lets it down. Primarily, if you don't like burgers or fish and chips, find somewhere else. I visited with a friend and although my fish and chips were good, my friends meal was first served on completely cold vegetables. On pointing this out to the waiting staff, she offered a replacement which, we expected would be a plated meal with hot food. Unfortunately it was delivered as a pile of veg and potatoes thrown together in a tin dish. Not ideal and a real disappointment. Probably would not visit again.

We stayed for one night after Xmas shopping at the Clark’s village in Street. This lovely Inn with rooms is only 5 miles away. The welcome and check in from the lady at the desk were fantastic. She was naturally polite and helpful, not put on at all. Our room was very clean and spacious with everything we needed and lots of hot water for a relaxing bath. Homemade cookies were a nice touch too. We ate in the pub and can also say that this was a lovely experience with great food and a roaring fire. All staff were very friendly and provided fantastic service. Breakfast the next morning was also great with locally sourced ingredients. We will return, Thank you.

Went for lunch with friends, all had the amazing home made pies. Haven’t had rabbit for a long time - all really enjoyed their lunch. Shame the only desserts available were ice cream but the pub has been very recently taken over by a very nice young couple so hopefully the menu will expand. Very quiet, but the road has limited access due to road closure at Limpley Stoke. Will certainly be returning.

Menu was dated and lack of fresh produce and vegan options

An absolutely lovely little gem of a pub, tucked away in a quaint little mendips village. Really, cool old 14th century building with a traditional old English feel. Wood burners set into old large historic hearths. And low wood ceilings make for a very nice and cosy atmosphere. Rly friendly staff, that make you feel very welcome. And a surprisingly extensive menu for a UK countryside pub out the way, including good veggie options. I got the chicken and chorizo burger to share with my gf, and the portion size was large enough for both of us to share for lunch, and was decent. Nothing too fancy, just proper hearty soul warming pub grub. Exactly what we needed after an afternoon stroll. If you find yourself in the area, say doing some hill walking in the Mendips or visiting Wookey Hole, definitely worth a stop off. Village is quite pleasant too.
