Our Bed and Breakfast suggested Hundred Monkeys to us and I'm so glad they did! We both ordered the lentil bolognese and it was honestly the best I've tasted. The kale pesto on the top was also delicious. Lovely, friendly staff too. Will definitely be back!

What do you need from a local pub? Good solid grub, a warm welcome and a selection of fine ales. Tick, tick, tick. The sharing platter to start was really delicious and the sticky chorizo really stood out. The burger was a hit with everyone and a real homemade beefy whopper. Cod and chips good but wish I'd had the burger too. Relaxed but attentive service, a very warm welcome and all round friendly atmosphere. Would happily return.

Super fish and chips; tasty, good sized portions, really well cooked came out quickly and piping hot. Really good value for money too! The service was friendly and prompt. The restaurant is charming and adds to the experience. Fish and chips in the south of England can be poor - however these were spot on!We will return!

3 out of 4 of us chose the chicken gougons and we did very well - the batter was crispy and light and lovely chicken breast inside made for a great dish. The chips are worth a mention as well, crispy and not greasy. Would go there again and prices very reasonable as well.

We had less time in Glastonbury than we had hoped, so I checked Trip Advisor and booked with only a couple of hours' notice.The place was busy, has a good atmosphere, varied clientele, friendly and efficient service and a good drinks list.The food was plentiful and enjoyable. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the burger and I the entree-sized Meze board, which was too much as the main meal for me. It was filled to overflowing with delicious dips, spreads, veggies and bread.Despite this, I managed to fit in an Affogato, one of my favourite after-dinner options, which I only tried as I had never seen it offered with chocolate ice cream before.I enjoyed it very much and found the combination of chocolate ice cream and Frangelico delightful.The best meal we had on our first trip to Devon and Cornwall.

You know that feeling when all you want is a Sunday Roast? Well today we were just about to leave Glastonbury (which does all things vegan and veggie very well) and feeling almost guilty for wanting meat, we came across Abbey Tea Rooms, 4.30ish on a Sunday and you wouldnât expect a) to be successful or b) to be that lucky but they were awesome. We had very tasty chicken and a good selection of veg and lashing of gravy. Everything we wanted...and we even had a pudding. Oh my goodness the puds were naughty and simply delicious. So I had no change for a tip and so I promised instead a review, this I do with no reservation. The staff were all friendly and attentive and our search for Sunday Roast was not just complete but it was also very very good. Weâll be back and will definitely recommend.Thanks Abbey Tearooms you are stars

We are a family run business of over 30 years. All our food is Home Made in our kitchens with the best quality ingredients, ethically and locally sourced where possible.
Reviewed By lbj17
We popped in for mid morning drinks and cake. None of the cakes were priced that I could see. We opted for a flapjack which was ok and a slice of summer berry cake - large portion but tasteless other than the home made jam and at well over £4 a slice was some of the most expensive cake I have ever had. The coffee was average. We would not return.

1. The Red Lion West Pennard

Reviewed By Hailesfamily
Recommended to us by the owner of a holiday cottage nearby, the recommendation was worth it for the quality of the steak I enjoyed, along with the chips and the accompaniments. Not the biggest range of food on the menu, and if my wife was writing the review she might have given 4* as the lasagna was not to her taste (plenty of mince, but only one layer of pasta, and to her taste a rather thick coating of cheese on top). Portions quite large. Would have liked a "lighter" option for desserts, the three on offer on the day we ate were quite stodgy so we settled for just coffees. Booked a table as it was a Saturday but it wasn't overly busy (in June but before the Glastonbury festival) and our reserved table (along with several others) was in the bar area near the kitchen rather than the restaurant area. Never-the-less quite pleasant surroundings. Service was unhurried - occasionally difficult to get the waitress' attention.
