The Good Earth — Restaurant in Wells

You have to commend how well run this cafe/restaurant is and it's great to see they are always so busy. The setup is a little strange for first time customers - you will count numerous guests wandering aimlessly with a tray of food, unable to find a table. Perhaps their system could be explained in some way, before guests order their food. The service style is alike a canteen, but with service from a very friendly team. You order at a counter bar, have your food plated in front of you and pay at the end of the line. It's simple, relatively cheap and overall very wholesome.

Being a volunteer for Unpaid Carers and a full time unpaid carer myself, I found this experience very upsetting. There is no point in helping those with disabilities of any kind if you are just ticking boxes and have untrained staff clearly not behind the scheme. I thought Somerset generally as being a...

We were recommended to try The Good Earth in Wells but the name chimed perfectly with our love of a veggie restaurant of the same name in Leicester, which we've been to regularly when there.

The Good Earth, Wells is excellent! You order you food and drinks as you go in, pay, then choose a table and they bring the food out to you when it's ready.

Vegetable Jalfrezi and a good salad went down very well. It was delicious!!! Staff pleasant and happy to help. Good website and as it occupies so much space inside and outside they say there isn't any need to book.

Comfortable, airy place, well-recommended and definitely 5 stars without a doubt. We're what is now called Flexitarian but love veggie food. You need to try this place, I think you won't be...
