Best Lunch Restaurants in Shepton Mallet

We really enjoyed our visit to the Sheep & Penguin on Valentines Day. We received a warm welcome and free cocktail, which we weren't expecting. The menu choices were extensive and there was nothing we didn't like. After a starter we selected a lamb dish & pork dish for our main courses and these were both delicious! This was followed by a desert and coffee. I chose a large glass of Syrah, which I really enjoyed. My wife was a little disappointed by the Sauvignon Blanc she chose and later switched to a Chardonnay, which she felt was also a little underwhelming. The dining room was initially a bit cold, but the adjacent radiator came on during our meal, which was relief. However, overall, we rated our experience very highly, and will definitely be visiting again.

Attentive, friendly and very efficient staff. Outstanding quality freshly cooked food. Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place to eat and stay.

The reception was very friendly and throughout the meal remained attentive. The food was excellent and very well presented with good size portions. We will definitely be visiting again

Really lovely! Great food and service! Had a refit and looks even better

The roast was very tasty, particularly the sirloin beef. Sadly the service was a bit slow as they were so understaffed so we had to ask for drinks again. Recommend though!
