Within view of the medieval Market Square in England's smallest City of Wells, Goodfellows serves some of the best fish dishes in the West Country. Voted 'Somerset Restaurant of the Year 2006' by The Good Food Guide and with a score of 5/10 in the 2008 Guide, the restaurant also has two AA Rosettes. Previously the Michelin-starred chef at Charlton House Hotel, Adam Fellows infuses his cooking with a Mediterranean essence reflecting the countries where he has worked throughout his career. On the ground floor, the seating is arranged around Adam's open kitchen. He loves the conviviality of the arrangement which makes a delightful change for him to be able to enjoy the two way interaction with his customers. The fish comes mainly from day boats off the coast of Devon and Cornwall and is cooked inventively, enhancing the natural flavours of the fish but never over-complicating them. An example of the menu would be English lobster salad with a mango and papaya salsa and coriander seed vinaigrette for starter, followed by fillet of sea bass with a smoked haddock and potato cake, red onion marmalade and champagne butter sauce, and coconut pannacotta with an intense mango sorbet for pudding.
