Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

What a fabulous meal! Truly we were so pleasantly surprised to find such a gem in the small town of Wells. Every dish was expertly prepared by proprietor himself! Every dish was plated exquisitely. We marvelled how this Michelin standard food could come out of the kitchen with only one person doing it all! sophisticated cooking at its best. We were lucky enough to be seated opposite the kitchen so we could see the intelligence and care that went into dish after dish. Highly recommended

I never come away from this restaurant dissatisfied. Food is always excellent and presented beautifully. Just wish it was nearer to home so that I could visit weekly. I have eaten in quite a few Michelin star restaurants and the food at Goodfellows compares very favourably. Love watching the Chefs cook and serve their lovely recipes. The bill is always a pleasant surprise. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

We had Sunday lunch. The tables are well spaced the food was delicious the service was good and relaxed. We must think of more reasons to come to Wells!

A great place to meet friends and family with lovely atmosphere (what are those graceful orchids?) Market Menu lunch superb and a total bargain: gazpacho with fresh crab was full of flavour, superb seabass with duxelles, and mango mousse - other dishes we hadn't chosen looked similarly delicious. Fabulous execution and presentation. Will definitely return.

As always an excellent meal with attentive, friendly service. Our favourite restaurant in the area - Adam is such an accomplished chef putting together such tasty menus and Martine and Renaud manage front of house so efficiently. Don’t hesitate to try this restaurant.

We had seafood tasting menu it was absolutely superb, would throughly recommend, will definitely return, impeccable service, excellent value for money

A really good meal last night - beautifully cooked and beautifully presented. So great to see that the one and only really good restaurant in Wells is back up and running and attracting customers again. Such quality is not found everywhere and should be supported

Fantastic food, service, location and ambience. Great for a lunch and can’t wait to go back, hopefully an evening meal next time. Menu was great. Smallish menu, but all the better for it.

Return visit after covid lock down ,superb three course lunch compliments to Chef and staff

I would highly recommend this fish restaurant, the staff are polite and attentive the food is amazing and the ambiance is perfect for a romantic nighy out.

We were staying in Wells and this was recommended to us by our Airbnb host and what a real treasure this restaurant is. The food was truly wonderful, the ambiance was just right and we enjoyed our time throughly. My wife and I had the lemon sole, which was first class, and our son had the had the pork tenderloin which melted in his mouth. We can not recommend this highly enough. Well worth a visit.

Visiting Wells from London this restaurant was recommended and rightly so - all three of us were really impressed. Proper cuisine - and generous portions, in a simple classy surroundings in the centre of town.

Our evening at Goodfellows was a real pleasure in a relaxed atmosphere with delicious interesting flavoured food and attentive service. Always consistent.

We always make sure to book a table at Goodfellows when ever we visit Wells - the food on this latest visit was excellent as usual - thank you.

Excellent service and delicious good. What more could you want?

Our meal last night was very enjoyable, as always at Goodfellows. The starter of prosciutto and salad was accompanied by a very flavourful dressing, and the lemon sole was soft and succulent with a very good sauce. We were well satisfied with the two courses, so were unable to sample anything from the dessert menu. The only criticism I would make is I would like to see a wider choice of wines by the glass. Service was, as always, very friendly and attentive.

Delicious supper for four on a warm Summer's evening: gazpacho for all, various good fishy mains, assorted indulgent puddings . Plus prosecco, good French dry white, endless supplies of water in smart blue btls . Service both efficient & pleasant. Busy restaurant but comfortable atmosphere. Recommended.

Absolutely fantastic, we loved every aspect of our lunch, the bass and sole dishes were superb. Would encourage anyone to eat here. Thank you.
