Aways a friendly welcome, and the food is delicious. Menu varies constantly, and there is always a good choice, at a very reasonable price. A very popular place so best to book and reserve a table.
I would rate the service from the Staff as five star also. Dinning there is such a pleasurable experience
What an amazing cafe - the staff are so friendly and welcoming, the menu is different to other places, service is with a genuine smile and the food delicious! A real treat to have lunch here 😋 and I will certainly come back!
I keep discovering these wonderful treasures, and this lovely bistro definitely fits the category. Greeted by the lovely Paul, you're welcomed by the amazing aromas of this place. With such variety and choice, there is something for everyone with bonuses like breakfast served all day except Sundays, OMG a week day Roast and of course Sunday lunch available (best to book). I'll be going back to work through the menu a great place for the family as well as a fab place to catch up with friends.
Thank you Hartleys.
My phone booking with Paul at short notice enabled our large (20) motorcycle group to be seated, and the conversation came over as nothing would be a problem for the following morning.
We arrived to be warmly greeted by Paul and all served lovely Sunday breakfasts.
Cannot fault the service, attentive staff and the overal atmosphere.
Obviously a cafe owner with business sense, as we all put orders in and the friendly waiting staff were efficient at getting us seated and fed, with regular coffee top ups. Other dietary requirements were met by some of our group too.
A fantastic and convenient refreshment stop if travelling around the Mendips, Cheddar, Shepton etc.
Thank you.
I had the Portuguese Fish pie (no pastry - more like a chowder with an amazing topping). My partner has the roast. Tasty, very very tasty.
Fabulous Sunday Lunch. Friendly staff. I like the way the owner navigates around the tables chatting to his guests. The atmosphere is perfect, not too posh not too cafe. Lovely to see the log fire too.
Absolutely amazing service, food was beautiful and staff was really welcoming. Definitely be going back again
Have recently discovered Hartleys and what a gem. Our first experience was a quick stop
off for lunch with parents and thoroughly enjoyed our selections of dishes. The steak and kidney pie was delicious and served with fresh veg cooked to perfection. The food was so good we returned a couple of weeks later with a large family group for one of the legendary Sunday roasts. Everyone loved the food and all said they will return. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. All of the staff are helpful and again friendly. Paul and Lynda are super hosts who look after their customers. The cafe itself reminds me very much of a little French bistro, the sort that you discover on your travels around France, quirky on the inside with fantastic food. The only difference is this one is in the middle of the Somerset countryside. Really looking forward to our next visit!
Impromptu stop that uncovered this little gem. Fresh, beautifully cooked plaice and a long marinated lamb tagine. Very generous pour of an Italian Pino Grigio. Lovely, friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend.
I have always loved coming here because the owner and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food is fantastic and the menu changes quite regularly. You will find that they have special evenings and you can join their list and will be kept informed of any future events by email. They also welcome well behaved dogs and love to see them. It's better to book because it does get very busy here. You can even have the lovely afternoon tea with sandwiches and cake etc which makes a wonderful gift for friends and family on birthdays.
