Lovely place to stop off on way through, very friendly service and lovely sausage sandwich. The cooked breakfast looks great too. Dog friendly as well. Parking is easy if not busy just on the pavement or round the corner on the roadside. Stopped off again and had the cooked breakfast which I gobbled up before I thought to photograph, all lovely and served with a smile. Another stop off and had the roasted veg quiche that the lovely lady heated up , delicious and well worth finding a car parking space to sample the experience.

I think I've reviewed this shop/cafe before, and it's still 5 star. Friendly staff, amazing hand made scotch eggs, tasty fries and they stock some great things too. If you're passing, stop by you won't regret it. We always make a detour to this place when coming back from the airport and it's always worth it!

Popped in for the first time mid week in June. Have past this place many a time but never gone in until today. Great selection of food, cake, drinks, friendly welcome. Fresh local strawberries looked amazing. Will be back for sure.

Hiding in plain sight The Mendip Pantry is a hidden gem of a spot for breakfast, lunch and at the moment even Christmas Dinner. Being only 1130am on a Sunday I settled for the wonderful breakfast and two flat whites. All perfect. My partner had the best scrambled eggs on toast that she has ever had. The cafe also doubles up as a bit of a local shop and sells some decent looking wines.... Such a shame it's breakfast time else we'd no doubt be massively impressed with that too!!

Lovely tasty food and coffee! I was a bit worried about parking but actually if you take one of the side roads nearby on either side of the main road there's more places to park than you think. My fish fillet sandwich was delicious... We will definitely stop here again!!!

Nice cafe, have visited a few times. There was a genuine mistake with the bill but it was sorted very quickly, thank you. Good customer service.

Was driving past the other day at lunchtime, so we stopped off for a coffee and a bite to eat, and what a great little place, nice coffee, nice choice of sandwiches and a tasty selection of cakes, with friendly staff, happy to recommend and revisit
