The Camelot

Rotten weather for a Sunday (or any day come to that!) so we (threesome) decided to have lunch for a change and travelled the short distance to the Camelot Inn, South Cadbury. We had heard that the pub was open again after the previous tenant failed to open shop one day before Christmas. It’s a lovely pub but hard work and the last guy took his eye off the ball. Now there is new young blood at the helm and I don’t know their names which is a shame. Anyway, we were made very welcome and allocated a window table and three menus. It had to be roast beef or lamb and we all went for the beef at £9.25. There was plenty of choice for a chef specialising in fresh local produce and we could have chosen a burger or bass for instance. Anyway, thank goodness we didn’t because the roast lunch we were to experience was the best we have sampled for a long time and just about warranted a 10 out of 10. Beautiful meat, rib we think, homemade Yorkshire pudding, beautifully roasted potatoes and parsnips with separate dishes of cauliflower in a bechamel sauce, broccoli, carrots, sugar-​snap peas and mashed swede and we all got our own little jug of proper gravy. Piping hot, tasty and great value. The puddings are delicious as well especially the panacotta. So please go along and support this young couple who have just the right approach just and they have trained their staff to achieve the same warm, helpful attitude.

Very enjoyable lunch. Very pleasant staff. Good beers and excellent food. Superb cheeseboard
