The light walls and the heavy furniture makes the perfect setting for the amazing food you're about to order. I had the best vegetarian lasagne ever, just propped up with all the lovely vegetables you could never imagine could go into a lasagne. And that 's how I world describe all the food. It looks and tastes deliciously. The staff is super friendly and there's a small car park across the street. But if you walk I would suggest you do - you'll need to walk of the lovely desserts ;) Be sure to book in advance and now that the kitchen closes at 21.00 on a Friday.

We had a lovely meal at this upscale British fare restaurant…read more Started off the meal with two great gin and tonics, tasting two local (English) gins. A basket of herbed bread and whipped butter were brought out to the table while we waited for meals to arrive. I started my meal with a tomato and red pepper gazpacho appetizer that was cool and refreshing with bits of artichoke and grilled cucumber within. Two of us also split orders of fresh steamed veggies and a plate of thin-cut chips. For a main, I chose the prawns. They were served with grilled veggies and mashed potatoes which made for an artful plate. The prawns were cooked just right and all of the flavors mentioned above mixed well in the dish. A lovely tart dessert capped off the meal just right and created a perfect ending to our night.

I had a bowl of their tomato soup to start. It had a "rustic" presentation and flavor with hearty bits and two types of bread for dunking. For my main dish I chose the linguini with prawns and chorizo in a sweet chili sauce. It was a huge plate of food that was difficult to finish, but the combination of sweet and spicy was somewhat addictive and kept me digging right back in for another bite. The duck offers a wide selection of desserts (which were hard to pass up)...I wanted something light so I had a single scoop of local ice cream to cleanse my palate. This was a great spot for a group meal like this...attentive service, warm and inviting setting and artfully prepared dishes. Bravo to the team at The Duck!

Service was quick and friendly, and she went out of her way to find us sauces etc for the table. My veggie Wellington was beautiful and everyone else enjoyed their meal too. Would definitely visit again.

I'd compare this with the Queens Arms (see my earlier review) as the nearest thing to it, although the Rose & Crown benefits from having a large garden out the back making this THE place to go when it's sunny. The pub is in a beautiful setting, great for walkers and not too far from town to be worth the trip. We regularly leave the car here and get a taxi back into Yeovil or Sherborne which sets us back less than a tenner. There's regular live music and a healthy following of locals who are always in there, regardless. I've introduced this place to a number of guys from work, who now regularly take clients here for lunch.

We went for lunch at The Ethicurean last weekend and I had heard amazing things so I was really…read morelooking forward to it, we were being treated by our friends for my husbands 40th birthday. As you arrive here you drive up to a car park and then walk through the walled gardens following the signs to the cafe, as you walk through the gardens you can see an abundance of wonderful plants and vegetables, its such fun trying to identify what is what, on this particular day we didn't linger too long cause it was raining. The ethos is that they make their food using ingredients that they grow themselves in the garden, for all other ingrediants, meat, dairy etc they use good local suppliers. We had booked a table which was a good job because it looked pretty full, I was pleased to see that they had the best highchairs you can get (the cheap ikea white ones), my little girl has one of these at home so I'm always pleased when a place has them (most paces do cause they are so brilliant). The menu was very interesting and had lots of very unusual things such as sweetbreads, lacto-fermented eggs and massicated strawberry salad, we of course went for the more unusual things and I must say we weren't disappointed, all of the food was amazing, I had massicated strawberry salad to start which was sharp and tangy and delicious, then I had confit duck leg as the main course which was also delicious but a little on the dry side and a sticy toffe apple pudding for desert which was moist and very tasty. Unusually we didnt go for wine but instead we went for cider, it was Crossmans cider which they sell at Crossmans farm in Hewish, we love this cider and pop into the farm to buy it whenever we are heading down south so we were really excited to see it for sale in a restaurant. Our designated driver had hop cordial which was actually really quite horrible tasting but is probably an acquired taste, I assume that they make it there. After the meal the rain had stopped and we really got to appreciate the beautiful gardens by having a lovely walk around. In a nutshell The Ethicurean is not the cheapest lunch you will get with starters at about £8 and main courses at between £17 and £22 but the quality, care, thought and effort that has obviously gone into every dish makes it worth it.

This has got to be one of the oldest pubs in South Wales, it's medieval and dates from 1380. This is one of those places that reminds you how small we used to be - I'm only 5ft 7 and I stoop through the worn wooden doors. I havn't eaten here, but there is also a well respected restaurant upstairs offering a good selection of seafood dishes. Dishes include: Brixham Crab Cake with baby leaves and lemon butter sauce (£5.25); Plaice Goujons with paprika and a sweet red pepper tartar sauce (£4.95); Roasted Fillet of Hake with a chorizo and roasted red pepper risotto ith tomato, garlic and orange sauce for £13.95 For the vegetarians on the day I visited there was: Tomato Fondue, Wild Mushroom and Aubergine Bake, finished with garlic crumb and poached egg (£4.95) and Rosemary and Truffle Arancini Risotto with a tomato, red onion and spring onion salsa ( £4.95). The restaurant opening times are Monday to Saturday from 7pm to 9.30pm. They also offer bar meals between 12 and 2 pm Mondays to Saturdays and evening meals Monday to Friday from 6 to 8 pm.
