We found this restaurant by chance having been recommended by our hotelier, and were not disappointed. The concept of an art gallery which is also restaurant is not new but in this case it was perfectly executed, the decor was tasteful and the atmosphere welcoming, and the hosts were genuinely warm and friendly. The food in this restaurant was sublime!... More

We cannot believe we have only just found this superb restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and the welcome by owners genuine. The food is simply wonderful and the chef has to be congratulated on producing such quality dishes. Now we have found the Gallery we certainly will be visiting again. P.s. the house wine is very very good!! More

We had the mid-week special offer - wine and steak and chips for two for £25. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the house wine was excellent. The owner was very friendly and chatty although never overpowering, and the Gallery bistro/cafe is spotlessly clean and interestingly decorated - it serves too as an art gallery - hence the name...

My wife and I came to Chard for the weekend and when we asked our guest house host where is good to eat she recommend The Gallery - we therefore decided to nip down and grab a coffee to suss out the place prior to booking. The night before we ate at an expensive 'top chef' restaurant for our wedding... More

The Gallery's "Chateau Briand to share" has really got people talking and has become our signature dish, it is simply.....steak heaven! We are thrilled you enjoyed the Chateau experience and thank you for your recommendation. Happy Anniversary and all the best for the little one's arrival. More

This is a gem of a place - it's a bar, then upstairs, a restaurant AND an art gallery! We really enjoyed the attentive service and an excellent lunch, perfectly cooked - looking at the paintings and sculptures in the current exhibition added another enjoyable dimension. Well worth a detour to dine here. More

We believe that this was the best food since coming back from our NZ holiday 2 years ago. Tracey seemed to bring her NZ heritage with her and included it into the food. Simon was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. My wife had Smoked duck and watercress salad which she loved. I had the tempura prawns which... More

The welcome was warm and personal, the Gallery (with its art work on display) was calm and interesting, service was friendly but inobtrusive, and the food was simply delicious. There is no more that can be said! Great! More
