Lovely cappuccino and the staff were friendly and helpful. Friends that I was with had lunch and they had dietary needs, that the staff were really great with and offered alternatives. We were made to feel welcome throughout our visit and I will definitely be back again.

Yummy food, quick service and clean cafe! Very cosy vibes with a wise range of seating. I had french toast and breakfast burger ans it was delicious!!

Christmas has arrived at the Long Story Bistro in Wells, I actually felt christmassy for the first time this year when I arrived at this wonderful, cafe/restaurant. Such a lovely warm welcome as always from there delightful staff. Perfectly crafted coffee and scrumptious cake, I had the carrot and pistachio cake delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend a visit when visiting Wells.

Wow. Booked for the Sunday buffet and was concerned that as a veggie I would probably just get a veg curry and some rice. Wow was I wrong. The Sunday buffet is not a buffet it's a banquet. I expected warming trays of various food that everyone dipped thier spoons into and piled their plates high. Wrong. There's a special menu of about 55 different dishes to choose from all included in the price. The portions are small but plenty and you can keep ordering until you are full. Plus there were some fantastic choices for vegetarians including lots of paneer which is my absolute favorite. So impressed. Every dish we ordered was exqusite. Freshly cooked and delicious. You bring your own alcohol which makes it affordable for a night out if you are on a budget. Soft drinks, puddings and poppadoms not included. That was the only negative. Poppadoms not included?? Very odd. Especially as we were encouraged to order them to start with. Er no. I am not going to fill up on poppadoms that are not included in the price, when I am doing the all inc buffet?? The service was slow but attentive and to be expected when everything is cooked freshly. Fabulous evening. Great value. Thank you!

Good value, great taste. We had the cappachino together with a hot chocolate served with a very friendly, chatty service. Made it all worthwhile.

First visit. We sat in the small bar area but noticed that all the other diners on the day sat in a lounge opposite. The bar is cosy, perhaps the difference was table service in the lounge but as we were the only ones in the bar we in effect also got table service! Lunch was only from the set 2/3 course menu. Staff very friendly and helpful. We ordered whitebait and sweet potato hash as starters, both were done well. Mains were the rump steak (an additional £4) and fishcakes (trout and haddock, perhaps an odd mixture but moreish ). Quality excellent. The steal local and dry aged, cooked exactly to liking, and really was tasty and tender, came with 2 eggs! The 2 fishcakes were equally excellent. In all a filling lunch! Because we sat in the bar the service charge was only added to the food element - what a great example of good hospitality. Would return.

“The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. The staff provided the best service I have ever experienced. Highly recommended!”

Popped in on a quiet sunny March time. It had a few customers which grew in numbers during our time there. We had a lovely greeting, and teh quality of service was kept up during our visit. The food was tasty and reasonably priced

Lovely Pre Christmas stay at the Swan. The staff were excellent, the room well appointed and clean. Best first night's sleep we have had anywhere. Breakfast was well cooked and enjoyable. Food and drink pricing is what you would expect from a city centre hotel. Car park is tight and has limited spaces so you need to arrive in good time for a space. We would stay again.

Lovely atmosphere with a log fire burning and people enjoying the festive period. Luckily for us one table just became free as we arrived. Service was quick, good selection of drinks. Would recommend 🍻

I had the duck bhuna, special rice and sag aloo. All was perfectly cooked and very tasty 😋

The owners are a wonderful family. The Chip shop style menu is brilliant and well priced. Also does great takeaways and delivery. Lovely entertainment and pub sports venue, as well as a great home to many teams, clubs and community groups. Really great visiting The venue. Definitely recommended

Our waiter Alex was very friendly and attentive! Great place to eat!
