"What a gem of a place! We stayed here for two nights, breakfast one evening meal included. The welcome from the bar staff there is no reception area you go to the bar was warm friendly. We were quickly checked in shown to our room which was clean and had a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was superb excellent ingredients all locally sourced set us up for a busy day of shopping! We returned and had Dinner on Saturday Evening in the Restaurant. Our waitress Florence was exceptional so polite, friendly and had a lovely smile. We both had a Starter Main both were very good and finished the meal with a Cafetière of coffee and handmade chocolate delicious. We checked out the following morning after another excellent breakfast slight problem with our bill which was quickly sorted and we received a genuine apology which was appreciated. Can't recommend this place enough will hopefully return again."

"My husband and I ate there last night having only booked a couple of hours earlier. We were most impressed by the two new dishes that we ordered; one lamb and the other chicken. The service was slick and attentive and we were not kept waiting at all despite the restaurant and the takeaway business both being extremely busy. The naan bread was wonderfully fluffy, and the food was excellent. The Cardamon is not licensed but other diners obviously knew and had taken beers or wine along, a trick the we will remember for another time. Waiters all very smart with impressive hair and great serving skills. We will be going back soon"

"Had the most gorgeous dinner at the newly renovated Green Dragon beautiful interior and atmosphere (the bar is stunning! , fantastic selection of drinks, and the most delicious food at excellent value! Had the amazing Dragon Burger double Powderham Castle Estate beef patties, double bacon, double cheese, the crispiest onion rings and chips, and a salad dressing to die for! Very impressive vegetarian and vegan options as well! Absolutely worth a detour if you're in the area!"

"Funny little place. £8.40 for fish n chips, nothing special, plastic knife and fork and eat from a box. (sorry Oceans and Landfill) Sorry to slate an independent but because of this you don’t know what to order. Rather a disinterested girl at the counter taking orders, who’s whispered responses couldn’t hope to compete with the speaker blaring pop music 8 feet from my right ear. It was nothing more than OK. Probably an expensive stop for a family. Think I would drive on a bit further next time."

"We stumbled across Delicious whilst walking the Parret Trail and it was an amazing find. It 's a deli and cafe, the food is fresh, homemade and 'delicious ', served in generous portions. I had ham and leek quiche, with new potatoes and salad and I can say it 's the best quiche I 've ever eaten. We popped back in the car later in the day so we could buy some more! The salad was also excellent, not just a side salad. It was fresh and zingy with pomegranate seeds, sweet tomatoes and fresh leaves. My hsband had bacon, brie cranberry ciabbatta which he said was lovely. We bought potato salad and pea, feta mint couscous to take away which were all excellent. The staff were lovely and friendly, the village is pretty and it 's well worth a visit. Only trouble is we were there on holiday and it 's a long way from home sadly."

"I don't understand why it's so difficult to find an affordable roast dinner, but this one seemed alright at first. However, when our children wanted an extra slice of chicken and beef, the price increased from the original £10.95 per child's roast to £15.95! Paying that much for just one extra slice of meat seems outrageous. The roast itself was good, but they had run out of gravy so we couldn't have the extra we needed. We also tried a sticky toffee pudding, which was not only reasonably priced but also delicious. When the bill arrived, it said we had ordered 5 pints of beer even though we only had 4. When I questioned it, the lady admitted it was a mistake and took it off the bill. However, she then pointed to the table where there were 3 glasses and accused us of having 5. This was quite rude. The roast was decent, but the staff's attitude was off-putting. It's not worth spending £15.95 per child's roast for just an extra slice of meat. We might have considered returning if the staff had been more pleasant. What a shame."

"what an absolute gem of a money. I was looking for something special to celebrate with a friend and could not have been happier with this place. I am vegetarian and the court was well cut, fill and an explosion of aromen. very cheap and in the position, a simple conversation with the chefs/owners really seal on personalized experience. love the story, love eating, can't wait to come back and see what they're gonna rest next."

"During our journey back to London from Cornwall, we came across this charming family-owned restaurant. My wife found it while searching for lunch spots near Ilminster junction. Despite being a bit out of the way for us, we were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. Situated in a beautiful green area, the welcoming lady who runs the place greeted us warmly. Although the selection of hot food options was somewhat limited, my wife adored their vegan goodness bowl so much that we ordered an extra portion. The kids enjoyed the freshly made sausage rolls and baguettes. The homemade brownie and double chocolate muffin were exceptional, with my son - who typically avoids desserts - claiming it was one of the best brownies he has ever had. Overall, this was a fantastic discovery along our journey and highly recommended for those traveling to or passing through Ilminster."

"On the Cask Marque Ale Trail with a fair choice of revolving ales to choose from. Arriving early this day, I asked some patrons, already with pints in hand, what was the trending tipple. Doombar came as a chorus and so it was. The ale was in excellent condition, the cellar man well deserving the accreditation awarded. The locals were affable and in good spirits perhaps they 'd been there longer than I thought"

"We just got back home from trying out this village café….. We were given a warm welcome and then our eyes alighted onto the wide array of scrumptious homemade cakes on offer. My wife was only going to have a coffee and a bite of my cake….. but once she’d tasted it, I knew any attempt on my behalf to retrieve my plate would be futile! After ordering a 2nd piece of cake, I thought it would be churlish not to succumb to a bacon bap as a starter. All in all, we’d found a gem hidden in the Somerset countryside."

"Travelling East to West, heading to Bude, we came across The Walnut Tree when looking for a snack and a short break from the long journey. A great find. We opted for the Caribbean tapas and found the whole experience very authentic tremendous flavours, having opted for 2 different chicken options (thighs and wings), accompanied by an excellent homemade coleslaw. The staff were also very friendly and came out to chat to us for a while (a welcomed chat, not a false pretence at hosting). We will make a point of stopping back on our next journey, and will make sure we give ourselves more time to sample more of the menu options available (and there were plenty on offer). I wish the owners all the luck in making this place a great success they certainly have the ingredients to do so!"

"I can 't make up my mind just what it is about this place that sucks the pleasure out of life. The premises are cold. I had a double 'machiato ' that was weak and had a head of froth on it that wouldn 't disgrace a knickerbocker glory and there 's no danger of an over-warm welcome from the serving staff. On the plus side, the cakes look delicious and there 's an excellent choice. Until very recently, there 's been next to no competition locally. (I have been here some 6 or seven times since it opened. Today is the last),"

"Left with mixed feelings about our evening out. The positives were that the chef took a lot of trouble to make a lovely Waldorf salad for one of our group who is vegetarian and gluten free. The mushroom dish was also very good and the chips were great. The fish and chips were disappointing as the amount of actual fish under the batter was minuscule. Our order was mixed up so we were initially presented with venison burgers instead of the vegetarian burgers we had ordered. Also the fish and chips were forgotten and we had to ask what had happened to that order. The young waitress was very attentive, polite and helpful however the lady in charge was not particularly friendly or welcoming. So overall rather a mixed experience a shame because most of food was nice."

"Never been to Bruton before, glad I visited, might visit again and if I do I will definitely eat here again. This is a cosy little no frills cafe nestled at the rear of a convenience store. Simple menu, full English, sandwiches, soup, jacket potatoes, cakes etc. One suprise on the menu, a Mexican inspired breakfast, had this and loved it and want it again though next time I will ask for a little extra salsa (love spice). Was a midweek when we visited so just the owner on duty but Cat (cafe namesake) was very efficient. Cat is of Mexican dissent (hence the Mexican breakfast) and a joy to talk to. I think she should put a couple more of her Mexican dishes on the menu, if they are as nice as the breakfast they will be winners. So if you find yourself in this pretty medieval town and hungry for some simple fare or a Mexican breakfast this is the place."

"I called in my order at 4:55 PM to be picked up at 6:15 PM. When I arrived a little after 6:15 PM, there was no organized line. Despite the current COVID-19 situation, the takeaway restaurant did not have a system in place to handle a large New Years Eve order book. I waited outside for an hour and a half before finally receiving my order at 7:45 PM, after seeing many later orders being fulfilled before mine. My food was not only extremely late, but it was also lukewarm at best, and some dishes were completely cold. I was close to losing my patience and giving a harsh word to the staff. There were no procedures in place and no social distancing inside the restaurant. This experience was disappointing and I will not be returning, and I urge others to stay away, especially during COVID."

"This pub is 'a work in progress ' the owners told us and it was evident the owners have worked hard both physically and imaginatively during the on-going Covid period to create a pub full of atmosphere. The outside belied the interior to reveal an excellently sized bar area, a restaurant, an unexpected little snug and tasteful decor. There was an excellent menu with well thought-out fresh ingredients resulting in us having tasty and beautifully presented meals. Thank you too to the chef who even took time to let me have my first taste of vegetarian ice cream! Thank you too to the outstanding young friendly and helpful waitress who we found out was balancing two part-time jobs and driving miles daily to study for a qualification. What an example to her contemporaries. We have overnight stays in our motorhome using BritStop so the parking areas at inns and other places are an important factor. At the White Horse we were given a large self contained area to ourselves which was well back from the main road so no traffic noise. The hospitality sector is struggling through staff shortages and loss of money yet the owners Justine and Andy Kemp know how to make people welcome and nothing was too much trouble to them."

"Have drove past this sweet looking little cafe loads of times and always wanted to give it a try but have never got around to it. Thankfully today myself and my wife were in town and called in for breakfast and it was really lovely. Really good choice available at very reasonable prices and also both the ladies were polite, efficient and friendly. I had mushrooms in cream on toast and my wife went for fried eggs on toast all perfectly cooked along with a lovely pot of tea for two. The cafe seems to have a lot of returning regular customers and we will definitely be returning too."
