Just had a most incredible meal here. The food was all amazing, the service friendly and genuine and we were made to feel special without it being pretentious. Nothing was too much trouble. Portions generous and prices very reasonable. Everyone needs to try this lovely place. We live in a totally different part of the country but will make a point of coming back to Wells just to visit this restaurant.
We were visiting Wells and the owners of the bed and breakfast, suggested we had dinner at this family run restaurant. We were delighted that we did.
The food is superb and all homemade. We shared the ravioli pasta as a starter, which was light and every bite flavoursome. Followed by the hake, which had been cooked to perfection. We also shared a cheese board, that included interesting choices, with plenty of crackers.
Although the exterior is modern, the restaurant interior is quirkily decorated, which adds to the ambience. There are several sized tables, to suit the number of guests. The staff are friendly and welcoming providing a good service. In total we spent £60 with wine and beer - worth every penny. The bathrooms were clean. We had pre-booked because it was Friday night and with this high standard of cuisine, it's definitely advisable. This is located just off the high street, adjacent to a spacious car park, which is free after 6pm. An absolute must if you are in the area.
We recently booked here for a family occasion, we have been a couple of times on a lunchtime so thought we’d try for a birthday dinner. The food was fantastic, I had the heritage tomato starter and belly pork for main. Both tasted delicious and were also presented fabulously. All our party complimented the chef and staff on what was a great night. I would recommend anyone to go try out this gem of a restaurant. The decor is great and you won’t be disappointed.
What a hidden gem . We had a delicious dinner in this quirky restaurant. The menu is imaginative, tasty, beautifully cooked and presented. I would highly recommend to all foodies.
We had an absolutely amazing lunch and dinner here. Wonderful presentation, staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The chef went out of his way to let us order from the lunch menu one evening and my husband had the best burger he's ever eaten. If you're thinking about popping in, make a reservation and try this hidden gem.
We took a chance and arrived as they opened. The Owner/Chef Leigh squeezed us in as he was due a very busy evening. I'm so glad he did, as the food was excellent. We have a fussy child, who promised to try new dishes including the Ham Hock Terrine which he devoured, which is a major compliment! The rest of the starters were great, the gazpacho was a stand out dish. The mains had a hard job following the starters, but really didn't disappoint. They were fabulous. The Ox Cheek was so well cooked, unbelievably tender and so flavoursome. The prawn tagliatelle was beautifully cooked with a "yummy" sauce. Desserts continued the theme of the rest of the meal being incredibly good, tangerine and almond sponge, Eton mess, affagato and sticky toffee pudding were all seriously well done. Sarah on front of house was a friendly and welcoming host and Leigh is a one man miracle in his kitchen. If we lived closer, we'd be regulars. If you are in Wells, go.
We had a fabulous meal here at the weekend.
The menu was small but had a beautiful selection of dishes fit for any foodie that are clearly chosen for the quality, freshness and seasonality at the time. Really well balanced and perfectly cooked. Delicious!!
Highly recommended
We found this gem by chance and so glad we did. We enjoyed a most enjoyable laid back ,relaxed date night. The perfect setting made special by the friendly service and top quality food. Although not a vast menu, as testament to keeping everything fresh , it was at hard to choose. The ravioli was mouth watering and the chicken with prawns succulent. Will definitely be back to work through the menu. This is a new business that everyone needs to know about.
We highly recommend this amazing gem of a restaurant. Lucky to have been here twice and each time the food has been superb, really nice atmosphere, and have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The second time we were incredibly lucky and the owner offered to open on a Sunday when they are usually closed for a family occasion. So incredibly flexible and accommoding and at such short notice too. Cannot wait for when we book again. Delicious, delicious food!!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
If your looking for great fresh food, beautifully cooked, this is your place to go. It's off the main high street so can be easily missed but if you're in Wells, make the effort, its well worth it. My husband had the heritage tomatoes and goat's cheese curd followed by fresh hake. I had prawn with small mackerel patty and salmon bonbon, also followed by the hake. And wow, was it delicious. Didn't have room for a dessert but I have no doubt they would also have been gorgeous. Wish I lived nearer so could visit this little gem more often. Well done chef Leigh and Sarah his very friendly 'front of house'.
