Chard Restaurants

Easily found by following signs from the A35, just east of Axminster. Felt welcomed, service was friendly and informal. Fairly limited choice, but quite reasonable for a small venue with a single chef. And I was tempted by everything on the menu. Opted for two-course lunch, which was excellent value. Thoroughly enjoyed our food. Presentation was spot-on. I particularly liked it that the dishes on offer seemed to be ones I could aspire to prepare myself, given inspiration, the recipes and a lot of practice, rather than "fine dining", very much in line with the River Cottage ethos. We intend to return to enjoy other meals in future.

Fantastic seafood. We had the fish platter for two. The fish was delicious, so clean tasting. The popcorn cockles are fantastic. Thank you for the gorgeous chocolates at the end to celebrate anniversary. Service was great too. Fab place

We were there on a Friday night and had the Steak Night deal a good value meal.

Delicious food with wonderful friendly & attentive service - 6 of us 3 couples - it would be lovely if there was a nice circular table! A bit of a draught from the door opening into the skittle alley but understandable as it was skittle night! Such a cold night with snow still on the ground but the ambience was cosy with the log burner lit. Some nice soft furnishings would be good with some cushions around the back of the benches. All in all a lovely evening - we’ll be back .

Had a lovely meal, food was delicious and the atmosphere was warm and stylish. Will definitely be back.
