"I feel as though the positive reviews on service must be false… such a shame to have to avoid the only pub in the village for fear of being verbally accosted from the moment you walk in. The landlady is just incomprehensibly rude, dismissive and just plain unpleasant… to everyone?! It’s like an airport, when it’s your only choice, you sometimes have to go there. Although I do AVOID this place at all costs. You are fairly safe if you just get a drink and find yourself a corner, but even then… and god forbid you ask a simple question, want to order food, want to book a table, turn up for your reservation (on time! , want some sugar for your coffee… READ THE REVIEWS, it’s all true… if you want an insane experience (a real life Karen’s Diner…? then feel free to try it out. If you want a nice evening out, afternoon drink… avoid!"

"Great variety of food and very good quality. A large restaurant. Only minor issue was it is fairly sparsely populated with diners in the evening I went and other reviews noted the same. Good aspect of this however is that you don't have to wait long for your meal. Maybe as word spreads it will get busier. I plan on returning. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner"

"Really difficult to write a review when you break everything down. It was okay. I’m in danger of being brutally honest and therefore coming across really harsh, but the Rosen Crown didn’t well me. In fact it frustrates me more to be honest with you. He’s a really gorgeous looking pub with a really good space. You can go there and be really pleased with the beer garden and eating inside as tables and chairs in the spaces between are really comfortable, however and I’m really sorry to say but it just didn’t. Wow maybe doesn’t need to the bit that really disappointed me was the £12.50 for a glass of wine and a pint of orange juice and lemonade. This may not be their fault. It may just be the impact of the cost of living by £12.50 for two drinks is Ludacris. I had the rump and the wife had a chicken burger which were both enjoyable. I think if when we arrived and during the time there, we were shown some warmth and interest, I think I would’ve probably given it a higher rating. Now it may be because they had a large party in the other room and that was why Everybody seemed to be Preoccupied."

"We have eaten here on a few occasions recently and found the food to be good. We came for Sunday lunch today and were very disappointed with the general experience. We sat down at 1.30 to be told there was no roast beef (surely you would hold some back for your bookings? . We ordered a pork and a chicken. We had starters first which were ok, the garlic mushrooms were lukewarm. The mains turned up with very very small portions of meat and 3 dried up roast potatoes each that had been hanging around for a while, the vegetables were also lukewarm. I asked the waitress for some more pork only to be told they had run out (one of my slices of pork had even been cut in half was this so that some other poor diner could have his portion? . So I spoke to the landlord Jerry, who found some more pork (where had it been hiding! . To be honest we got the impression that they had run out of food and our meals were cobbled together with the last scraps. The whole experience was a let down; when I paid the bill and voiced my concerns to the barman he was not the slightest bit interested. What a shame; we are locals and eat out often. We won't be back."

"Located in a beautiful small town square and a honey-colored Georgian stone house, this restaurant features a huge log burner and sofa in the entrance, an open kitchen with busy and friendly kitchen staff, and a relaxed dining room with well-spaced tables. The atmosphere is a mix of Tuscan Hill-town and hip East London, offering precise, modern British cuisine. It's no surprise that Chef Balfe also owns two popular restaurants in East London. Convenient parking is available, just 5 minutes from the A303, making it the perfect halfway point between London and the South Hams. We enjoyed the freshest mackerel ceviche and a delicious aromatic venison with polenta and mint-heavy salsa verde. The wine selection is extensive, with prices that please both Londoners and locals in Bruton. Residents are lucky to have such a great restaurant nearby."
