Holm is inspired by nature and our surroundings in the beautiful South West of England. We are driven by provenance, sustainability and warm hospitality. Our aim is to serve delicious food and drinks in a casual yet refined environment.

The food at Holm will be driven by the seasons, the environment and our locality in the beautiful Somerset countryside. We work with local farmers, growers, butchers, gamekeepers, fishermen and anyone who shares our love of exceptional ingredients, treated with care and respect.

Our wine list is focused, well-chosen and sensibly priced with low intervention, organic and biodynamic wines from small artisanal producers.

    Four of us had a delightful lunch at Holm yesterday. The set menu gave us plenty of choice, all our meals absolutely delicious. There was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant which was fully booked. The staff friendly & efficient. Terrific value for the quality of food on our plates. We are so lucky to have Holm on our doorstep. Well done Nicholas.

    We had high expectations for this restaurant, and at first, it seemed like they would be met. The starter was absolutely perfect—delicious, well-executed, and exactly what we had hoped for. Unfortunately, the main courses were a huge disappointment. My dish was an onion tart that was as simple as it gets, served with a handful of lettuce leaves that were completely dry, bitter, and unseasoned. They felt like an afterthought and had no real place on the plate. My partner’s dish wasn’t better—a portion of cod so thin that if they had sliced it any finer, it would have been a sashimi. And for this tiny, unimpressive piece of fish, we were charged an extra £5 supplement, which felt completely unjustified. By the time we finished our mains, we had no interest in staying for dessert—we simply didn’t want to be disappointed any further. A very underwhelming experience, especially considering how strong the meal started.

    Another great experience at Holm. We took friends who had never been before and they will be returning. Service was stunning too.....just the right degree of friendliness without being overwhelming. Lunch menu is great value for such good quality food.

    We had Sunday lunch, 2 courses main and dessert. Really hit the spot and met expectations, which were high. I had the beef, which was the best I’ve had in a long time. Great vibe and great service.

    Having eaten several times at Holm for lunch we took advantage of a birthday gift voucher to sample the Chef’s Tasting Menu on a Friday evening. The menu was a delightful voyage of discovery with each course distinctively delicious, and the service as ever was friendly - a lovely way to spend the evening.

    Amazing food, surpassed expectations. Lovely atmosphere, casual, modern with the character of a Somerset village town house. Their take on venison lasagne worked perfectly. Mango sorbet not over sweet, but rich with fruit and silky smooth. So glad we have eateries like this locally. It’s a fraction more dear than a gastro pub, but the quality of ingredients, creativity and cooking incomparable. Just go.

    As we were staying nearby, we made a booking, having seen chef Balfe on GBM. We were not disappointed - lovely set up, great food, friendly service, and the set menu was great value for money. Highly recommended
