Cedar - South Somerset

A lovely experience plates were so beautiful I had to photograph them (which I've never done before)

I was looking for somewhere to enjoy lunch with my sister and decided to give the Cedar Restaurant at Holbrook House a try after noticing their lunchtime deal. We weren't disappointed. We started with a champagne cocktail in the lounge before moving through to the (empty) dining room for our meal. The food was superb and beautifully presented and the staff were attentive without being overbearing. After enjoying 2 courses (and the cocktail) for just £15 each we took advantage of the sunny weather and strolled in the grounds. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. I shall certainly be returning and definitely recommending to friends.

This is a lovely location for a special occasion dinner or just a catch up with family and friends. The restaurant is lovely and feels spacious. The menu is interesting, and once you receive it, the presentation will pleasantly surprise you. The entrees between the meal are lovely and a great addition. The staff were lovely and very helpful, attentive from the moment we entered the hotel/restaurant. The only negative I do have is the menu on the website was different to the menu on the night. We had already pre-selected out meals however, it was easy enough to choose something else to eat. It was absolutely delicious after all. Overall, a great evening. Thank you.

I have already mentioned the restaurant of the Holbrook Hotel in my review of the hotel itself. The restaurant needs a complete makeover, it is old and tired. The service is good but, having ordered the beef at over £30 I had to pay extra for the potatoes. The meal was the size of a starter, the beef was gone in four small mouthfuls. Without the extra potatoes it was all totally inadequate. If you want a decent meal go elsewhere.

We were pleasantly surprised by this fantastic restaurant, offering delicious and creatively prepared dishes. The service was top-notch and we wish we could continue dining there!
