Buttercross Tea Room - South Somerset

Excellent cafe. Lovely location with outside tables and chairs, attentive staff, good food reasonably priced. Recommended.

Unprepossessing looking place but how wrong we were. Terrific home made food, friendly service and real good coffee. We had soup, breakfast bap, espressos and cookies. All excellent and very good value.

Sadly I have to rate this tearoom as poor. We took my 92 year old mother in law out for lunch and we were hoping for a nice experience for her. She is in a wheelchair. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with ‘oh they’ve got a wheelchair’ and then immediately informed they were full . The people on 2 of the tables informed us that they were leaving so we got a table . There was no help from any of the staff to accommodate my mother in law in her wheelchair. We then ordered soup and a sandwich and were informed it would take 30-40 minutes as they were apparently busy. It did take exactly 40 mins . People who arrived after us were not informed of any wait and indeed got their food within 15 minutes. We were just not made to feel welcome . The food was ok but we noticed that they were charging 25p for a glass of tap water which is incredible . I certainly would not return to this tearoom .

Our family group have just enjoyed a cream tea at this venue. The sandwiches and scones were excellent and the service was the best we have ever received. Well done to all of the staff at the buttercross Tea rooms and thank you for your welcome.

As we were passing through, we called in for coffees and a yummy cheese scone. Although they were busy, our drinks were delivered quickly and were very good. We agreed that the cheese scone was the best scone we’d ever had away from home. Will definitely visit again and try some different options from the menu next time.
