Clementina is a newly opened cafe and deli in Wincanton, South Somerset. It is located in a lovely old building, right on the high street and from the first moment my wife and I went in, the vibe was charming! Eclectic furniture offers seating around country tables for groups, as well as cozy tables and sofas for two. Soft lighting. Views out to a stunning and massive garden to the back, and even a couple of tables on a raised platform looking out through a massive plate glass window over the high street outside.
The deli products are cleverly arranged in cabinets and displays throughout the dining area, as are the delicious variety of baked goods which catch your eye as soon as you enter.
But the real vibe comes from Sarah the owner, who is also a talented chef, and manager Christine who is a polished bartender and conversationalist extraordinaire. A space is just a space until it is brought to life by its hosts.
There is a real attention to detail here, which you might not notice at first but which makes a difference in the background. The toilet facilities are spotless and the bathroom is beautifully decorated.
The menu is cafe style with Italian overtones and the coffee is prepared with care and attention - as you would expect. All in all, Clementina is an excellent addition to the Wincanton restaurant scene, and I understand that there is expansion planned in the future.
So if you are passing Wincanton on the A303 on your way to Devon or Cornwall and it's time for a break, I highly recommend dropping in to Clementina for one of those interludes which makes the journey as delightful as the...

We shared a delicious Italian board meat, salad and cheese us espresso martinis and Prosecco. It was all really tasty and very reasonable prices. I bought some brilliant cards and will be back to buy some of their pretty glassware, charcuterie, oils, balsamic vinegars etc
We were too full to try them, but the cakes looked amazing! Service was faultless and staff very friendly. Sarah (the owner) was very helpful and knowledgable. They also do private hire as well as opening some evenings so we will...
   Read moreA really friendly cafe with beautiful decor - classy and vintage in style. The staff are very keen to make sure your experience is relaxed, comfortable and pleasant. The food was delicious and well presented and the coffee was excellent, and served in a decent sized cup. It is very reasonably priced. The cocktails looked smashing too, but it was only 10:30 so i gave that a miss! Perfect stop if you're travelling down the A303 - free parking on the street and in a nearby car park. I can't understand why people bother going to Bruton when Wincanton's cafes are...
