We booked an early table for a business breakfast. The staff were amazing and really looked after us. The food was fabulous too. We will definitely come back and 100% recommend this venue. Thanks to all the staff at Symondsbury Kitchen.

A relaxed, unhurried meal with friends. Splendid, thank-you. Food very tasty, as ever. Just one thought: the fish portion of fish and chips seemed somewhat smaller than last time.... It was, however, still enjoyable.

Service for me was fine; my friend who had arrived before me waited too long for her coffee, only to be told when she asked that there were several 'tickets' ahead and they were just doing hers. I counted no more than six customers in the cafe at the time. Not the first time I have experienced this. A pity, because I like the cafe

Food portions for the Mother's Day Sunday Roast on 10.3.24 were so very small that I felt embarrassed at having taken my entire family, including my elderly parents, here for their first visit. I have sung the praises of this cafe for so many years and I have never had this happen before. Although the tray bake cakes (which we filled up on for dessert) were as lovely as ever, the tiny size of all the roast-meat plates and the veggie-roast plates meant that we had to go to West Bay afterwards for toasted teacakes, as all 7 of us were still hungry (even the 82 year old parents who I consider have mouse-like appetites). More vegetables & potatoes were needed on all plates. Although the Yorkshire Pudding on the beef plate filled it up a little, a "smear" of carrot on the side of the plate, with a tiny thin segment of squash(?) the size of an apple segment, with a small single stem of broccoli & a couple of small pieces of roast potato, were completely inadequate for a main meal and the price being charged - this is a cafe, not a Michelin-starred tasting menu. My elderly parents eat tiny portions due to their age, but the portion size was not enough even for them and as for my adult children (who are all slim-built so not big eaters), they could hardly hide their shock as the plates were put in front of them, with the size of meal that could have fitted on a side plate, not a dinner plate. Sadly, after so many years, I will not be returning for such meagre portions for normal/above average prices. Please note, I would not have left this review at all, had I not received this email invitation to do so - I would just have voted with my feet and not returned.
