The Rocking Horse

Oh my goodness, where do I start!! Our first visit there & definitely not our last. It is the most stunningly, beautiful place we've ever been for coffee & lunch.

Super dog friendly, our little Princess loved being allowed in the cafe & thoroughly enjoyed exploring the gardens. The staff are so friendly & chatty. The food & drinks are delicious. The milkshakes are WOW!!

The grounds are absolutely stunning, well maintained & everywhere you look, there is something quirky to look at. Loads of funny animals, etc. hiding on the trees & amongst the bushes, my husband & I had smiles on our faces all around the grounds. You can wander around for ages & enjoy the gardens. We felt super relaxed. I am very grateful for the disabled parking closer to the entrance. It's such a gorgeous place to visit. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Nestled amidst the picturesque countryside, lies an exquisite equestrian abode, adorned with sheer elegance and grace. This resplendent horse house stands as a testament to the beauty of nature and the magnificence of equine companionship. Adjacent to this enchanting haven, a charming café awaits, offering a delightful rendezvous for cherished friendships. With its idyllic setting and warm ambience, it is the perfect sanctuary to reconnect with dear friends and create lasting memories.

Wow - what a great place! Coffees and cakes to die for at very reasonable prices. Best of all are the wonderful staff and superb atmosphere - genuinely lovely people who clearly really care about their customers. Amazing garden and with lots of animals wandering around. Would give six stars if I could. Go there now - you will not be disappointed!!

Lovely afternoon on a drive . Spotted a sign and went in . Best detour ever . Fabulous sandwiches and so quaint of a place . Kid and pet friendly . Toilets spotless. Great prices .
Recommended ham and cheese sandwich xx

Lovely place, birthday treat, will visit again in summer, beautiful surroundings, Ted enjoyed the pup cake too!

Charley and the team are always welcoming and the food is of a great standard. Menu is limited but to be expected from a small business but changes regularly. So lucky to have this on my door step. I’ve taken many friends here and they always love it!

Delightful setting for a 2022 Best Start-up cafe! Google took us into the outback, but very easy to find and get to, off of the A358. Excellently situated for a walk a short drive away (5 mins) on the Quantocks. Extremely large car park, and short walk to the cafe itself, with plant seller at the entrance, offering cheap, beautiful potted offerings, presumably from the gorgeously manicured home gardens. Staff very polite and friendly, owner lovely, drinks refreshing (also offering local bottled beers) and (although we didn't eat) the portions huge! The club sandwich had a small flag on top stating "summit"! Prices reasonable, but soup and a sandwich for less than £10 we thought more than reasonable. Specialising in milkshakes, my son had a chocolate one which he said was the best he'd drank, praise indeed from a teenager! Very popular place, queues at busy times, but none moreso than anywhere else, and it enabled one to take in the garden. Toilets nicely decorated, intimate and above all clean. Wheelchair accessible. We're planning our next visit soon, hope to see you there!

Just the most glorious experience from arrival to leaving. The beautiful garden and views, all the lovely ladies serving, homemade food, served with love. Hot coffee and a comfy seat... I can go on and on. Cannot recommend them more! How lucky we are to have them so near. X

Visited today taking my dad for Father’s Day. This was our first visit and will definitely be going back. Such a beautiful setting, felt we were away from the hustle and bustle. Service was great and staff friendly. Thankyou for a lovely afternoon. Cherrie

Fantastic cafe situated in the Quantocks. We went today with 3 muddy dogs and they were so accommodating. There's an inside seating area that's perfect for dog walkers in the colder months. Lots of choice on the menu and such generous portions. The milkshakes looked amazing so a good excuse to come back and bring my children. Very friendly staff and a picturesque setting. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed a high quality lunch. Best sausage roll I've ever had.
Last year was just cream teas this year light lunches cakes and cream teas. Great location. Fantastic gardens with panoramic views of the Brendon's and the Quantocks

Popped in again for lunch after a walk. Great food & milkshake's to die for! Wonderful service and atmosphere.

Really nice food although had to wait quite a while for it to arrive.
Otherwise excellent 👌

Gorgeous place to go for lunch, dog friendly and great food - we had some lovely paninis but everything on the menu looked delicious. Sitting in the sun by the pond was so relaxing, I will definitely be back to sample the cake!

Fabulous milkshakes and really lovely food. This is just a short walk from Stogumber Station which is one of the West Somerset Steam Railway's stops, so well worth stopping here for lunch.

Great cafe in a rural location, well worth a vist

Stopped off here a couple of times whilst out for a bike ride. It's a really nice eating experience.
Great food, pleasant staff, and all at a lovely venue........ Just remember to leave some room for one of their milkshakes after you meal. Good grief they are good.

Pleasant, friendly cafe in a bucolic setting. The leek and potato soup was a tad bland for my taste ( some fresh herbs would not have gone amiss) but the falafel, hummus and red pepper sandwich, the cheese mushrooms and the sausage roll were all outstanding.

Without wanting to give away such a hidden gem, just wow! Such an incredible place. The gardens are stunningly beautiful, the cakes are out of this world and the sandwiches are a feast! Staff are all very polite and attentive without feeling like you're being rushed. It really is one of those places you must visit.

What a lovely little tea room..
Set in beautiful gardens, dog friendly, food was excellent...helpful friendly staff...will definitely be back. We caught the steam train to Stugumber station and walked up the hill for about 5 minutes and the tea rooms are on the left😊
