Excellent breakfast here.
Not the cheapest but worth it.
First time for me not the last.
Staff excellent and very friendly

Once again another fantastic visit and fabulous meal today. I had the Trough breakfast so very tasty.
Well done.

The Trough is a beautiful looking restaurant with unmatched views all around!

Unfortunately the food didn’t match up to the reputation for my family and I.

We all ordered the aged beef with Sunday trimmings. The veg was cooked lovely but the meat came out extremely raw, even though we weren’t asked how we wanted it cooked, and one member of my family’s food was so under cooked the staff even took it off the bill (after previously saying it couldn’t be done. Maybe they noticed how under cooked it really was?).

Dessert on the other hand was amazing and definitely worth mentioning. I would 100% recommended trying them as they all looked great and tasted even better.

As for service, we weren’t offered any water for the table, even though everyone else had a bottle on the tables around us. When we were brought dessert, which as I mentioned was great, we weren’t given any spoons to eat it with.

That being said all the staff were friendly and welcoming and were working hard.

Overall I just expected more. Everything from the restaurant’s reputation, to how it looked just didn’t match up to the food we had.

I’ve had better for less, and I think that’s a real shame.

Lovely ambience. Food was well portioned. Food was average. Wings could be seasoned better. The fish batter was crispy. Pulled pork sandwich was good.

Had lunch here and it was excellent! The carrot cake and chai tea are 5* worthy alone; everything else is a bonus! Décor is fabulous, as is the location. Service was a little slow but it's August and expected tbh... Staff really friendly

Beautiful restaurant with an idyllic view and tranquil atmosphere. Very different from what you normally find around Yeovil. The decor is warm and elegant, seats comfy and the whole setting is airy and light. Huge windows overlook an open field, and seating outside is possible too.
The staff was attentive and thoughtful, they also asked how I liked my fried eggs, which is unfortunately so rare in the area.
The food was expertly prepared and presented, the hollandaise sauce the best I tried in a long time. Eggs just as we asked.
We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast at the Trough and highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great quality, fantastic ambiance and something more special than what you'd normally find around Yeovil. A hidden gem.

I went to this restaurant on Friday 28th March with friends to celebrate my birthday, I was very disappointed , alot of the food was already sold out, it was only 1.15pm ! we waited for approx 40 minutes for our food to arrive , the staff never came to our table to ask us if we wanted more drinks, so we had to keep asking . The food was bland , the eggs were cold and hard , for the price I expected it to be alot better , as it is not the cheapest of places . Such a shame as the location is beautiful , it seems that yet again profit seems to be more important than quality , I shall not be returning .

Visited for drinks and desserts mid dog walk. Dogs welcome outside. Desserts and coffee were tasty. Very friendly and polite staff. Lovely decor and nice aesthetics to the place. Inside had comfy seating, clean toilets and a little shop where we bought a couple of mugs. Plenty of free parking for drivers.

went for a birthday meal
food was amazing, decor was eccentric, staff were friendly and lovely to speak to
the food did take a while to arrive due to issues in the kitchen on the day but the staff apologised and explained this
seeing the animals in the fields outside after the meal was a nice surprise
overall highly recommend
