Such a beautiful setting let down by the service and food. After waiting over 30 minutes for our food the table who ordered a while after us were served. We were just about to give up and leave when ours arrived. Toast, which arrived cold, and jam came with no butter, so we had to go in and find someone to ask. It arrived so hard my husband was unable to spread it. The menu says sourdough so expected some lovely hand cut bread but sadly just a couple of small slices of sliced bread. The pancakes were also cold so had to go in and ask for them to be changed too. This took another 10 minutes and when they finally arrived they were lukewarm, with just a few slices of banana, so very expensive at £9.50 considering the quality and quantity. I’m sure we will visit Symondsbury again but definitely not the café.

Staff initially ignored us but very nice once they engaged with us. My lamb was a bit gristley but meal was good otherwise. Door to outside repeatedly slammmed shut - rather annoying! not sure we would come again.

Very slow service , on this visit not the normal as we have been many times before , and the food was cold , sausage and mushrooms

The selection of food seemed quite limited and portion sizes quite small. There were a number of issues with our order - things left off the order, other things brought to the table we didn’t order - so we didn’t all eat at the same time.
