My friend and i met up on Sunday in Wells on our annual catch up and decided to have some lunch together. The Bishops Table is a nice cafe. The cafe is making changes with a new menu of homemade food . I had fish and chips for my lunch. The fish was so delicious . The staff were very kind and helpful . The location is excellent because The Bishops Palace is beautiful . My friend had a toastie with plenty of cheese. Her toastie was amazing ! I think I will have a homemade steak pie next time. I am not really a fan of the buzzers and i prefer table service but we can live with that. The homemade salad was lovely with all the fresh vegetables in it. Thank you. This is our go to place for food n...
We've been going to the Bishops palace regularly. We'd have lunch and visit the gardens. The food has always been good. But these last two times its been bad and we complained. My soup was luke warm, the bread used to be good but its average. Their sandwiches now are prepacked and dry. I waited ages for my soup. One customer waited 30mins for his toastie, another said that service station sandwiches were better. Lots of tables were left uncleared. They now have self service, but carrying trays is not possible for everyone. And the new lay out makes it feel like a canteen. Its all about making money v quality and customer experience. Wont go back. Such a pity
Not great, visiting the cafe (as a local) was not a good experience, it was never always great, but now, it's much worse. Whoever thought issuing pagers to collect your orders was a good idea, clearly didn't do their market research (having spoken to quite a few locals with similar opinions). I waited just under 15 mins for a coffee. The cafe had more staff behind the counter? yet, they are trying to save money? no logic at all. Sorry, won't be re-visiting, too much choice in Wells to suffer the pain of this cafe.
We initially stopped for coffee but ended up trying the lunch menu. We were glad we did because my friend and I both had fantastic meals. The veggie toastie with chips and salad was incredibly tasty and well-cooked. My friend loved her quiche as well. We were disappointed that we were too full to try the delicious cakes on display. We will definitely return to this restaurant, we give it a perfect 10 out of 10. We even appreciated the buzzer system they used to notify us when our orders were ready. Book a table now
Had an amazing lunch today at this restaurant. We enjoyed homemade beer battered cod and chips with a fresh chunky salad, peas, and tartar sauce. The place was bustling even on a Tuesday. It's no surprise though, as Andrew and his new kitchen team are doing a fantastic job. The young front of house team was also very professional. We're excited to hear that table service will be returning soon. It's so nice to see this cafe thriving again after a rough period a few months ago.
I 've never before, when ordering a cheese toastie, been asked if I want a meat cheese toastie or a veg cheese toastie . It turns out the waitress didn 't mean some variant of vegan cheese, but simply a cheese toastie with vegetables or what I would have described as a ham cheese toastie. I ordered the veg version, and it was excellent, though I probably didn 't need the chips (also very good) that it came with. We ate outside, watching the croquet match.
I was very disappointed with this restaurant. There were very limited options for vegans, with the only choice being the Vegan Breakfast which I didn't want for lunch. The person I went with is a vegetarian and was also disappointed with the lack of options, especially since they don't eat eggs. In the end, we settled for a cup of tea and a flapjack, not exactly the satisfying lunch we were hoping for.
Me and my friends came for lunch over the weekend on Sunday . I had a quiche with a salad and slaw. The quiche was great. The salad was big and amazing with lots of vegetables. I had a few nice chunky apple pieces in my salad as well. Whoever made the salad awesome job) . Great lunch ! Thank you for the lovely service ! Book a table now
Had a delicious toastie with chips best chips in town hands down! The girls serving were really friendly and chatty. Wasn’t a fan of the buzzer system, but were told this will soon be stopping and table service coming back. It was lovely to sit outside and watch the croquet players!
