The Symondsbury Kitchen

I have never been served a bacon roll with streaky bacon in 60 years of eating bacon butties all over England , everywhere from restaurants to vans by the road.. Not only was the bacon streaky, it was very fatty. The roll was over buttered and just looking at it I was so taken aback by the amount of grease I could not eat it. They kindly offered me a replacement dish. I chose Banana pancakes. Whether they were American or English they were only cooked on one side. The other side was raw. Kindly we did not have to pay. I have eaten here several times before and never been disappointed. But I'd hesitate to visit again, specially as I had recommended it to my colleague.

Upon entering the cafe, we were immediately overwhelmed by the loud music. It felt more like a disco night than a casual dining experience. The noise level made it difficult to have a conversation. We decided to leave and find a quieter place to eat.

Excellent lunch for 2 short BBQ ribs and a fine home reared pork burger and chilli jam and home made coleslaw. Fine glass of white wine, and she had local cider. Attentive service and a relaxed Bank Holiday Sunday atmosphere.
