Hartleys Kitchen — Restaurant in England

At the age of nearly-50 and reasonably well travelled, I have a list of the Top Three meals I have ever eaten (including dinner at a Chateau in France and at an exclusive restaurant in New York). When I went to Hartleys Kitchen yesterday, little did I know that one of my Top Three would be knocked off the list, to be replaced firmly by Hartleys. The food was truly delicious - as my daughter described it was "like a party in my mouth" and I wanted to bottle the aroma so that I could take it home with me! Despite my appetite being divinely satiated by the end of the main course, I indulged in a dessert which sent me to heaven all over again! To complete the experience, the customer care was superb - friendly, warm and considerate and the environment was homely and comfortable. With this experience, I would have expected the prices to be raise my eyebrows ... but no, both food and wine were extremely reasonably priced. I thoroughly recommend Paul Hartley's restaurant and I can't wait for my next visit. Thank you to Paul and to all at...

Have recently discovered Hartleys and what a gem. Our first experience was a quick stop off for lunch with parents and thoroughly enjoyed our selections of dishes. The steak and kidney pie was delicious and served with fresh veg cooked to perfection. The food was so good we returned a couple of weeks later with a large family group for one of the legendary Sunday roasts. Everyone loved the food and all said they will return. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. All of the staff are helpful and again friendly. Paul and Lynda are super hosts who look after their customers. The cafe itself reminds me very much of a little French bistro, the sort that you discover on your travels around France, quirky on the inside with fantastic food. The only difference is this one is in the middle of the Somerset countryside. Really looking forward to...

Thank you Hartleys. My phone booking with Paul at short notice enabled our large (20) motorcycle group to be seated, and the conversation came over as nothing would be a problem for the following morning. We arrived to be warmly greeted by Paul and all served lovely Sunday breakfasts. Cannot fault the service, attentive staff and the overal atmosphere. Obviously a cafe owner with business sense, as we all put orders in and the friendly waiting staff were efficient at getting us seated and fed, with regular coffee top ups. Other dietary requirements were met by some of our group too. A fantastic and convenient refreshment stop if travelling around the Mendips, Cheddar, Shepton...
