The Den At Jon Thorners - Mendip

Excellent food and our waitress Ruth was extremely helpful and friendly as were all the staff. One criticism it was very hot in there could do with air conditioning

Booked tables and meals for 16 members of Long Sutton W.I prior to our visit to Shepton Mallet Prison. The food was served quickly and the pre ordering was well managed. Everyone enjoyed their meal and would definitely return. Staff were helpful and efficient, nothing was too much trouble. Food delicious with wide choice.

1st time visiting the Den at Thorners, I’ve past it many times, went today. The service is excellent and very attentive, The food was excellent, quick hot and above expectations and reasonably priced, I could kick myself for not going before, however I will certainly be going again

Called in for lunch after purchasing some excellent meats from the store.Sat with the menu and ordered the beef baguette waited for 30 mins for it to turn up looked good on the wooden board (why which had a paper cover on it which slowly disintegrated during the meal,the beef was the toughest we have ever eaten it was in a sort of gravy I swear we could have resoled our boots with it,told the waitress about it but no reason was given ,we then wrapped the meat up to take home for the dog after mincing it.Usually this meal is of thin slices of beef cooked very quickly on a hot grill plate and this method will rend most cuts of beef very tender.We will not return

Visiting my son working on the Glasto festival site. We fancied a decent breakfast n coffee. Happened on Thorners farmshop n restaurant. Breakfast available until 11.30. We got there at 11. Lucky to get a table n they kindly seated the two of us at a reserved table for 6 as they were delayed Great atmosphere busy, buzzing but relaxed. Really nice, smart decor. You can tell as soon as you walk in they're organised and on it. I was expecting it to be expensive, but we don't treat ourselves that often to eating out so was prepared for that. In fact the Ultimate Breakfast I think it was called, with more than enough to challenge the hungriest eater (my son was a tenner. N mine was £7.50. Really reasonable considering the quality, variety n amount you get especially with suppliers n bills going sky high across the board right now. Both breakfasts included bacon, sausage, egg, baked cherry tomatoes, hash browns, black pudding, baked beans, mushrooms n fried bread or toast. I swapped my hash brown n black pudding for an extra egg n rasher of bacon. Quality ingredients perfectly cooked. Had a large flat white n latte while we waited. Top notch coffee. Straightforward menu on the table catering for most cooked breakfasts down to something on toast. Order at the counter. You can see the chefs through in the kitchen cooking. Friendly n efficient front of house n waitresses. Service with a smile. Really nice relaxed but buzzing atmosphere. Outdoor patio seating n farmshop to have a wander round afterwards with arts n crafts upstairs (pricey but nice to look at! n food downstairs. Meat surprisingly reasonable. Highly recommend n will be back next time I'm in the area. K
