The best restaurants in West Somerset South West

Really nice alternative to the buffet scramble. Nice setting friendly staff and tasty food. Thanks!

Arrived on Thursday for quick bite to eat and was surprised with how beautiful the decor and how friendly the staff especially the one with the beard and curly hair who went out of his way to help us with the menu options Food was lovely and price was perfect too

Not as good as most chip shop chips, but still excellent

We visited the Bicknoller Inn for a Friday lunch and were respectfully and quietly met by the pub dog, mentioned in so many reviews to date. Sophie was managing front of house, both bar and restaurant, was polite and friendly throughout and worked with efficiency and speed. We picked up drinks from the bar - although Sophie even offered to carry them - and were shown to our table in the airy and light dining area. Our ciabattas arrived within a reasonable time of ordering. Whilst on the expensive side, portions were generous and presentation (on a board) well above what one would expect for a light lunch! Flavours were generally very good and we left clean plates (well, boards). Just before we left Lynda (the manager) kindly spent quite some time chatting with us about how the Bicknoller Inn is run, how it is sourced with local ingredients and as much as possible is freshly prepared (e.g. the bacon in my ciabatta and the homemade coleslaw accompanying it). Lynda also talked about the pub industry in general which was interesting to hear. On our way out we stopped and said goodbye to the mastiff who had greeted us and we departed happy. The Bicknoller Inn is well worth a visit. Clean, well run, with polite and capable staff. The building has tremendous character and is warm and inviting. Worth the little bit extra we paid and we will return before long.

Burgers all cooked, fries all cooked, and 2 incompetent staff wondering what to do next… my food was sat for 3 minutes with no drinks while they made drinks for the next 3 orders! I’ve worked in fast food and you need staff who are capable of pulling their finger out when it gets busy! 25 mins total to get served would have been quicker to go to a sit down restaurant!

Full of character,very quaint & quirky & maybe needs a little updating here and there but clean & comfortable so a very enjoyable stay,hosts very welcoming & friendly,beware of glass front door my husband walked straight into it!.Some rooms could perhaps be noisy as beside main road.

One of the best Morrisons cafes on the network. We had the fish and chips, the fish was lovely and all delivered promptly. This cafe is quite unique as they are keeping up with the cleaning! We were served by a young man, who was very friendly, professional informative. He never seemed to stop, he was seen cleaning the food area, refilling the cups, cleaning the tables and helping customers, you need more staff like this one! Thanks

We visited the pub as we were staying on the campsite close by. The Land Lord was friendly enough but the place looks like it has seen better days, plants on the window cills with cobwebs on and lots of plastic flowers! This place could do with a good spring clean inside and out particularly the ladies toilet which was black around the edges. We didn’t eat here, there were people eating but for a weekend it was empty, such a shame!

The fish and fries were crispy. No queue and decent portions. Curry sauce was nice but gravy wasn't the best. It was watery and the server had to give it to us in a cup so it didn't "soak through the container." Kind of wish we picked a different sauce for our loaded fries which were otherwise pretty good.

We order take away here regularly. My husband loves their pizza and I their risotto. They always deliver on time and the food is always hot. Definitely try their Camembert!

Food was lovely, messed up order and waited 45mins for deserts, to then be brought out mains again instead 🤦‍♂️ but we finally got the right items and the staff were lovely to us and offered free drinks while we waited.
