"Unfortunately this was not the good experience we have had 4 times previously and we were disappointed. Initially the male waiter just seemed a bit confused and forgot a few things. The starters were all fine. However, the main courses were very different to our last Sunday lunch experience. The beef meal was smaller, although it was commented that the beef was excellent. The duck was good but the diners were very disappointed that there was no vegetables served with this dish, just duck on lentils. (We knew other people dining on the day who also felt this way). Last time we had a dish of separate vegetables bought to the table. The vegetarian dish was also very disappointing from a size point of view when it arrived and we waited to see what else would come but nothing did. Sadly the taste was unpleasant, and not one to complain, so much so that it was inedible. It was sent back and replaced with another version which was ok (and we were not charged for this which was welcomed) The other problem with the veg dish is that there was no protein, so not a balanced dish, just vegetables and far too small for a main meal. The pudding was good although the rhubarb with the panacotta was so much nicer last time, it was not sweet at all this time. It’s such a shame that the consistency is not there. It has put us off going again."

Noisy restaurant area, the soup was thin and lacked any depth of flavour, main course was a minute offering with little or no vegetables.

Food was excellent. Portions are not large but a 3-course Exmoor festival deal at lunchtime left me feeling just right and very contented. My only gripe is that when my coat was returned it stank of frying.

I cannot rate this excellent restaurant highly enough, from the moment you step through the doors your experience is like nothing else you will get in the area. It is just fabulous and I would recommend to anyone and will be back again and again especially as they now do an A La Carte menu.

This restaurant is hidden away in Wiveliscombe and only open 3 nights a week so you are prepared for pretentiousness. But this restaurant is incredibly delightful and an absolute surprise and hidden gem. No 'ideas above their station ' just excellent food paired with beautiful wine. What A Treat.

Arrived 10mins early for 12.30pm booking still clearing and opening. Disappointing decor. Difficult to see people across table lighting wrong? Cutlery not clean. Excellent service. Polite and prompt Excellent food Duck and pork cooked perfectly. Portions correct (not excessive) Overall disappointing as had been highly recommended by friend

Outstanding is the word. Who would have expected such a gem in little Wiveliscombe? Somerset must be the foodie capital of the South West, if not a wider geographic area. The restaurant has been converted from a shop, and decorated, lit and furnished to provide a rather sexy ambience. The welcome was warm and the service sharp but friendly. We had the 5 course tasting menu, which comprised a collection of delicious dishes, each comprising layers of taste and texture that made me want to roll each forkful around my mouth repeatedly before swallowing. Probably not a good look, but I really didn't care. A great menu and fantastic cooking from the joint chefs, Tim Zikki and Olivier Certain. We w...

Despite announcing 18:00 as the opening time, it was not open when we arrived for our 19:30 reservation. The restaurant was very cool for our liking, and so uncomfortable from that point of view. The food was good without being exceptional or particularly exiting. There was only a tasting menu option and no catering for vegetarian tastes or questions about allergies. The guinea fowl dish was not hot enough. The lamb dish was the best but a very meagre portion, even for my small appetite. The dessert was ordinary and we were not told what the homemade ice cream was, but I think it was vanilla. The cheese dish was bland to my taste. The wine flight accompanying the tasting was different and in...

"What do you want me to say? there is probably not enough superlative to describe how delicious a food experience we had. how many people I wanted to eat here already, but last night all stared and we could get a table. the waitress who welcomed us was worried that the kitchen would not be able to cope with as they were a worker and the kitchen was busy with other tables. (we arrived at 21:30 on a busy Thursday without an extended booking after we checked with the kitchen that we showed on our table and warn that it was a 30 minute delay on eating. we ordered drinks and munched on Bombay mix while looking for the menu. nice not to choose from an enormous selection. I had garnel as starter and my partner had kabeljau. we also ordered our net. selection of chickens, lambs or vegetables thali with various beside dishes. I chose chicken partner to choose lamb....if the starter arrived (in less than 30 minutes we realized that we were there for something special. beautiful presentation and taste not disappointed. both cooked to perfection and full of aromas that did not mask the fish. then came the net. fabulous presentation of separate dresses that contain our chosen court and bombay aloo, raita, dhal and rice. there was a beautiful cone poppadom on the teller and we also shared a naan. it looked fantastic and tasted incredible. the dahl was so good that I had eaten a bowl of it alone. super delicious and beautiful spicy heat that does not exaggerate. our individual dishes were immediately shared with each other, as they were too good not to share. the poppadom was super crispy without fat and more taste than for a simple pop natural....a manifestation! lamb was melted in mouth and the chicken had a real chicken flavor. we have licked the bowls pretty clean. we had enough space for khulfi. 4 elections....Coconut, pistachios, rose and saffron and kardamom. we had two and were blinded by all. the pistachios and cocosnuss were really beautiful and the rose and juice card a really unusual joy, especially the rose. the whole experience was enchanting and we chatted with the cook (which was in the restaurant that talked to all the hunters and cook! how much we enjoyed the meal. Please visit this restaurant. it is worth every penny, and we look forward to going back and telling everyone we do the same."
