Hoping to make your next meal out one to remember, we’ve turned to Tripadvisor to discover the top ten eateries in Somerset based on reviews.
When you treat yourself to a meal out, the last thing you want is to make a reservation, only to discover the food is below par or the waiting staff don’t know their aperitifs from their elbow.
Gaining an insight into the place before making your booking is a smart move, which is where review websites come in. Reading experiences from the people who have been is a great way to get a flavour of what to expect from an establishment.
