The chips in Admiral Blake are usually tasty and they do a good curry sauce. When I was a meat-eater I loved their chicken and chips. The Admiral Blake Chip shop also has a restaurant which is quite basically decorated and has pictures on the wall of Bridgwater in the olden days. The restaurant is mostly frequented by O.A.P's (due to a money off offer I think or maybe just the very reasonable prices).

Have to agree with the others in that this is the best fish and chip shop in Bridgwater…read more Good quick service and great food

The food was okay, the service was fine. The atmosphere was uncomfortable even though it was…read morevirtually empty when I visited the location. Just cramped together with other tables being in reaching distance of your seat at your own table. The cramped seating is obviously good to get more people in at one time, but that doesn't make for a comfortable dining experience.

The food probably doesn't quite live up to the surroundings and because of the large open space with high ceilings the amotsphere can be a bit stilted at times but I maintain this is the nicest place to eat in the centre of Bridgwater. The food is nice but nothing special and is affordable. Certainly worth checking out if you're looking for somewhere in the town.

The Variety of food is huge and picking something can be tricky - I would advise looking at the online menu before hand! Atmosphere is warm and friendly and always seems busy.

The decor is modern the menu vast and nothing is too much trouble for the guys that run it. A tad more expensive than your usual Bridgwater Indian Restaurants but well worth it when you consider the array and choice on offer. The tables can get a little cosy when you order a few extras but again no real problem when you consider all you are getting for the price. I have recommended this restaurant to over twenty friends who have also been and not once has there been a negative comment. If you have read some of my previous reviews you will know I am not easy to please so do yourself a favour and try it out!!

The staff on incredible, the food in incomparable, and the Indian beer selection is superb!

Guy Fawkes celebrations are alive and well at the West Country Carnivals, believed to be the…read morelargest illuminated carnivals in Europe. These date back to the gunpowder plot of 1605, and their history is littered with references to guys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Country_Carnival The Carnivals are for charity, and deserve your publicity. The plot was linked not only with Guy Fawkes but also Robert Parsons who come from nearby Nether Stowey, who the locals celebrate as heroes. Bridgewater later become a cavalier stronghold, holding out against Oliver Cromwell and the Parliamentarians until the decisive battle at nearby Langport. North Petherton's big advantage is that it usually takes place on the first Saturday in November, so it's ideal if you need to travel a fair distance. If you've never been, you really should go!

Perfect... and yet so average…read more This place has gotten so much right: - An amazing décor that instantly gives you that warm, cosy feeling (something that a lot of new buildings in particular lack) whilst still being modern and contemporary. The finishing touches like the outdoor fireplace, rotisserie chicken, indoor wood burner and large kitchen window (allowing you to see the chefs in action) really set this place apart from other chain-owned pubs. - A great team of staff that are both friendly, efficient and genuinely try to ensure you have a good experience - An impressive selection of ale and lagers on offer (it is a brewery-owned chain after all) And yet there is one key piece missing from the list above, the food. The food here I can only describe as average, which for the higher than other chain-owned pubs prices is a bit of a disappointment. A bit tasteless is how I would best describe the food, not bad but also not great. Overall this place has amazing potential, it's in a good location (just off the motorway M5,J24) next to a lot of new housing developments, a great building, superb staff and a wide selection of drinks. If only the food can be improved then this will become a superb little gem of a place.
