The Trough

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.

Now this place is a bit special.....my daughters and son-in-law brought me here for Fathers Day lunch and I was very very impressed! The whole experience from start to finish was spot-on, they could not have done more. The meal was delicious, I am aware of previous less than glowing reviews, but I'm given to plain speaking and I loved it, all of it. There's extra outside seating and even a coffee lounge away from the main restaurant where you can relax and digest a glorious meal while others can delight in their wares!! An experience I'm keen to repeat very soon, while it's not inexpensive it really is a case of you get what you pay for!! And the staff are worthy of mention too, really pleasant and a credit to the business.

A beautiful setting on a beautiful day 😍 We chose to eat outside for breakfast to celebrate a special birthday. What a fantastic view! The full breakfast, chosen by my husband, looked amazing. Bless Lyndsay, she even put a candle on it for the occassion 👍 The French toast option was delicious 😋 As always, a very enjoyable time, service definitely with a smile & food to recommend. Thank you all @ The Trough x

UPDATE: 01/06/2023 Still enjoy coming here. Service was a little slower than usual but it's a lovely place and so, time passes easily. Food is always great; I had the Trough Burger and whilst it was really tasty and thoroughly enjoyable, i found the patty to be quite dense in texture and so, a little difficult to chew. My wife had the Tartiflette and again, superb meal but just needed to be that little bit warmer (not enough to comment to the staff because she was hungry enough to just get on and eat). Anyway, overall, lovely food, lovely surroundings, especially so when the weather is warm and you can enjoy the views. Always a pleasant surprise when we visit the Trough. The amount of effort these guys put into everything they do, is really impressive. This occasion was for their first offering of a pumpkin picking experience and it was so well organised. Well laid out across the field, plenty of size choices, straw over the foot ways (to prevent a mud bath) and a well put-together marquee with picnic tables, so we could sit and drink a lovely hot coffee. The hotdogs were great and burgers were nothing short of gourmet restaurant taste. Amazing. Looking forward to many more visits to the restaurant with the family. Great stuff guys.

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.
