With stunning…read moreviews of greenery all around, I could almost hear the soundtrack of the Sound of Music as I scanned my eyes over the fields. The interior was intimate, cozy yet elegant, and made me feel like I was having dinner at someone's vacation home vs a restaurant that's been awarded a Michelin star. I apologize in advance in case the chance to eat the same dishes I've had will be slim to none as I gather the menu changes daily. That said, allow me to rave about some of the new bests I've had starting with the STEAK TARTARE that was so delightfully refreshing. I loved the hint of sweet mustard while the crispy oyster on the side was such a pleasant pairing. The LAMB SHOULDER was a-maaaaazing - harissa spiced and grilled to a perfect char until tender and bloody good. Served with yogurt, flatbread, and smoked cod's roe - just fab! Beautifully pink, the PORK LOIN was another winner featuring melt-in-your-mouth-delicious-meat with the rhubarb sauce sealing the deal so gloriously. There is everyone's least favorite dish which is the PIGEON, not because of how it was prepared but more on meat preference. We also had the CHILLED LOVAGE SOUP with Cornish Crab, MUSSELS w/ SMOKED PANCETTA, and PRAWN TORTELLINI - all we so very much enjoyed. I could still remember the taste of every single one of them in my mouth including the CHOCOLATE MOUSSE for dessert. Offering a pre-fixe menu as well as an a la carte menu, Pony & Trap is sure to please any food lover without breaking the bank. With a stellar service to boot, it paved the way for such a memorable evening with plenty of stories, laughter, and tears of joy shared over a fantastic spread. Easily one of my highlights on this holiday. Review #800

Another fantastic experience had at the Pony & Trap…read more I've been to the Pony & Trap a number of times. Once in a large group with friends and a number of times in a smaller group with family. Whether it's a classic Sunday roast, a cheeky weekday lunch or evening dinner it never fails to impress, it hasn't got a Michelin Star for nothing! This visit was for an early Sunday lunch with my wife and grandad as a birthday present for Grandpappy. I'd booked a while back and specifically asked for a table with good light as grandpappy's eyesight isn't quite what it use to be. The guys at the Pony & Trap were more than accommodating and gave us the best table in the house, in front of the large window at the back of the restaurant overlooking Chew Vally, it's quite a view. I usually go for the beef for the P&T Sunday roast but based on the steak meal I'd eaten the night before I thought I'd branch out and try the pork for a change, I wasn't disappointed! The pork came complete with crackling, homemade apple sauce, parsnip purée, AMAZING roasters and a selection of veg that's without a doubt some of the best I've ever had accompanying the Sunday meat! My personal fav was the roast beetroot. The pork didn't come with a Yorkshire but I had a quiet word with our waitress and she arranged for me to have one anyway. Smashing service as always. Alice and Grandpappy went for the beef and as expected the medium rare slab of prime ashdale beef was first class (I managed to pinch a taster from Alice!). It's also worth mentioning the homemade horseradish that accompanied the beef. I sometimes find that you should stick to the stuff that comes out of a pot but this stuff was amazing. It tasted so fresh and a proper nose tingler! I can't speak highly enough of the Pony & Trap. Considering the high quality of ingredients (a summary of which is included on the back of the menu, so you can see where they were sourced from), the first class service and it's shiny Michelin Star it's actually not quite as heavy on the wallet as you might expect. Highly recommended for a special occasion if you fancy venturing out of town. I can also recommend a walk round Chew Valley Lake or Folly Farm Nature Reserve after your meal to burn off your roast on a Sunday. Both are a couple of minutes drive from the pub.

The Woodlands Tavern is in a beautiful setting surrounded by countryside and within Wentwood forest…read morewhich is well known for walking and mountain biking.The tavern is a great place because it manages to combine a traditional country pub with a top notch restaurant,so you can choose to just relax whilst having a drink in the bar or have a delicious meal. All meals are home cooked and really nice with a lot of local produce on the menu,there is always a good choice of dishes from steaks to stuffed trout and they also have a specials board.Deserts are sooo good especially the profiteroles they are yummy!!! Sunday lunches are excellent and very good value but book early as they are very popular with the locals. Overall the Woodlands Tavern is a lovely restaurant and ideal for family get together or an intimate meal for two.

The Gallimaufry is one of the better places to eat and drink on Gloucester Road. During the day you'll find a lovely brunch menu with sandwiches, soups and few eggy dishes. But the best thing on the menu is the 'Galli hangover cure': mackerel, chorizo, potato, peppers, bread & baked egg - which does exactly what it says on the tin! What I love about 'The Galli' is the quirky decor. Without it wouldn't live up to it's name, but they've done it really well. Behind the bar they have some REALLY odd clocks made from old baby dolls! They're quite scary, but pretty cool! During the evening, particular in the summer, the outside seating on the promenade is an awesome place to be. Lots of people, a really good buzz and nice seating to be able to watch the world go by. I love it! The Galli has a lot of competition, but they do well, and it's easy to see why - It's great!

Very attentive and helpful waiting staff; however the quality of the food was mediocre at best, and I felt it was clearly all cooked from frozen.

The food is divine and if you like a slower, relaxed, delicious meal while you're chatting along with your company, nice almost unnoticeable music in the background, a romantic atmosphere then this is the place to be. John is the best front of house and Joyce is a fantastic chef. I would recommend you book up well in advance especially if it's a special occasion, just to be secure, as it's a very popular restaurant. Normally my fiancé and I have a 3 course meal, a bottle of white sauvignon (Old Coach road, amazing) and the bill is around £90. Would recommend to everyone!

Without a doubt, I have to say this is my favourite restaurant. Although I live in Bristol (a good…read morehour and a half away), my wife and I regularly travel to Minehead, just to have a meal at Sashes. Sashes is a unique and wonderful dining experience like no other. John and Joyce (the owners, and team which run the restaurant single handedly) run a fine ship. John runs front of house, and Joyce cooks the delicious food. Why do I like Sashes? I've been going for years, with good reason. My wife and I are always warmly greeted and served delicious food. The steak always comes cooked to perfection, along with any other dish I have ever ordered at Sashes. If you ever wondered if actually liked a particular food, or have just had a badly cooked version, simply try it at Sashes, as you'll never experience it cooked better. Service is prompt and polite. The food is great. The atmosphere is lovely and unique; whilst the max seating in the restaurant is 12, without a doubt, each time, the tables always end up in conversation together at some point or another; you just don't get that at other places. Sashes only does one seating a night, so your table is yours for the evening. The menu changes regularly with the season, so I always see and taste something fresh when I go. Honestly, I couldn't recommend Sashes highly enough. I don't have a bad word to say about it, and I'm very picky on where I go to eat.
