The Walnut Tree - North Somerset

1st time visit. Recommended by family. We were made to feel very welcome. The food was superb. The 2 roast dinners were piled high with meat as well as the veg. 2 burgers were exceptionally tasty too. Cheesecake was yummy. Highly recommended. 5

The kitchen was unable to handle a large group order. Some meals were not delivered and others were served freezing cold. It's really disappointing.

First time visiting this place, we went on Sunday as looking for a place to have Sunday lunch, when approached by a member of the team who was very welcoming and said sure we have tables available, the team member showed us to our table. A class touch by the owners on the tables there was buckets of lego for the kids to play with whilst there food was being prepared, my twin boys loved it, when th food arrived and it looked great plenty of meat and all the trimmings. Tasted absolutely beautiful, complements to the chef to which I found out it was the landlords mum who does all the cooking. Couldn't fault it, they have different offers on every day also so good variety of options. Will definitely return. Thanks walnut tree for a great first visit.

Terrible service, came for a meal with 16 other people, every meal served separately, took over 1hr.45min to serve all the meals. Some people had left before we had all had our meals (we didn't order starters or deserts thank god! Burger I had was not good quality either. Sadly won't return and will advise others not to.

Where to start . . . Clues were there tucked away in the bizzare spelling mistakes on the menu but I persevered going for a prawn cocktail starter and the grilled salmon as a main, as those listings were free of the spelling mistakes which put me off the Balognesec Pasta Homemad Cilli. The prawn cocktail starter was ridiculously awful. Four leaves of wilted lettuce with a blob of some sort of redish sauce contained eight tiny cardboard like stale pieces of inedible material. They may well had been potential prawns at some point but these quarter inch offerings were no doubt the cheapest available to the pub but sadly unlike any food offerings I 've previously encountered. I felt awkward having to complain but the delightful girl behind the bar apologised profusely, informing me that they had a new chef and asked if I 'd like an alternative starter. I went for the breaded mushrooms, she promised a few extra to compensate for my dismay. Fair enough. She returned with seven mushrooms and a little paper pot with some not very garlicy maionaise contained. This was at least edible. Then came a plate with a two inch long serving of a leather based piece of something that may have been fish based at some point but had been dried out and shrunk by over enthusiastic grilling, ten dried and wrinkly new potatoes and a spoonful of dried out peas. No sign of the drizzle of garlic butter or the broccoli. For the first time in my life I sent the food back. It was an embarrassment for both myself and the innocent girl behind the bar. So come for a drink but consider your options if you need to eat as the local area is brimming with places that offer better, or at least edible food.
