Reviews in Wells

Excellent food - the Winter Broth, featuring pigeon breast, was exceptional. However, food, and particularly the wine, are expensive

We dined at Goodfellows early on a Friday evening and we’re first in the restaurant. The welcome was not as warm as would be expected, however we were invited to choose our table. The service and the food from then on I felt was unnecessarily pretentious. The quality of the food was ok, but did not reflect the price being asked, which was a fine dining type of price. We were also served a three course meal within about 45 minutes which I felt was inappropriately fast for a restaurant such as this on an evening out. I also felt that the restaurant lacked atmosphere, perhaps because of the over bright lighting. Portion sizes were also quite small compared with the expectation set by the menu. Overall I was disappointed and wouldn’t go back.

Overall a very pleasant experience. Bright, fresh atmosphere, polite and welcoming service and very good quality food. Our best restaurant experience in Wells. Would recommend it to anyone.

Goodfellows has been our favourite restaurant for many years - the food is always delicious, often with an element of surprise so there is no danger of getting bored with the menu. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the whole dining experience is always a treat.

We chose Goodfellows for a quiet 20th wedding anniversary celebration because we knew it would be something special. We were not disappointed. The food and service were excellent.

We treated ourselves to the tasting menu and it did not disappoint. Very mouthful was delicious. Already looking forward to our next visit. Adam, Martine and Renaud efficient and friendly as always.

Really enjoy each visit to Goodfellows. It is the best eating experience in Wells and the food and service have always been nothing short of perfect. Roll on our next visit in February.

The thing about Goodfellows is the consistency of their product. Year on year week on week. That’s why we keep on going back. We recommend this restaurant without reservation.

Excellent meal - such a good menu that I found it difficult to choose. Great atmosphere, great service and delicious food

As ever ... a warm welcome ... amazing food ... friendly and efficient service! A perfect evening out in Wells!

There was a few things that could have been improved, we had to ask for pre dinner drinks as they weren’t offered and our starters came quickly before we had time to finish them, we also had to ask for the wine glasses for our wine , my salmon starter was quite bland and needed seasoning ( none on the table) and my husband’s was uneventful with just some Italian ham draped over some rocket. The kitchen is open to the restaurant which got very smoky and our clothes ended up smelling of food. The main course was good and staff were friendly, I thought it was a bit expensive for what it was.

Had an excellent lunch for 3 off the Market menu. Friendly and efficient staff made us feel welcome as always

Excellent food, excellent service, and always a warm welcome from Martine, Adam, Renaud, and all the staff. Goodfellows is by far our favourite place to eat, and have visited many, many times over 15 years. As we always say - it is the best food we have ever had.

Always a pleasure to eat at Goodfellows. Excellent food and service.

Delicious food, beautifully presented and superb service which allowed us to really enjoy catching up with friends. Excellent value for money - fine dining quality at reasonable prices.

We have been dining and lunching (and at least one breakfast!) since it opened. Yesterday lunch well up to scratch with great menu, excellent service, beautifully cooked and presented. The hake was a dream. Thanks to Adam , Martine and staff.

We had a delicious anniversary lunch here on Wednesday. Lovely food, beautifully presented, great service. Perfect.

So much improved compared with pre Covid. Four of really enjoyed our dinner - food was up to French standards, service calm and efficient, reasonable choice of wine and for England the price was good.
