Summary
This “buzzy” bar and grill attached to the rural gallery of Swiss contemporary art dealers Hauser & Wirth offers “excellent food in a great setting” – the former cowshed of Durslade Farm. Named in honour of the artist Dieter Roth, it was created by his son and grandson, Bjorn and Oddur, using his signature scavenged materials. Menu highlights include beef and lamb reared on the farm, butchered on-site, dry-aged in their salt room and cooked over the wood fire.
Summary
Swiss art behemoths Hauser & Wirth’s “sophisticated” Somerset spin-off – with Piet Oudolf-designed gardens and a “wacky” ex-cowshed bar/grill – delivers a “delightful” taste of “urbe in rus”. A “really buzzy and vibrant setting” that’s “great for cocktails” and with some very solid cooking – in particular “lovely meat” (“outstanding” burgers and “amazing steaks aged in their own salt room”).

Summary
“What a place, in the middle of the countryside!” This “hugely enjoyable” venue is the Somerset playground of Swiss contemporary art operation Hauser & Wirth, incorporating galleries, a working farm, “astonishing gardens”, and a cowshed-conversion bar and grill named in honour of Swiss artist Dieter Roth. “The food is pretty good, too” particularly for brunch – “try the delicious (home cured) bacon and chocolate salami”, but it’s “often hard to get a table, especially at weekends”.
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"great meat but service left a lot to be desired. staff nead training . Not what you would expect at these prices"
"quite pricey, but the meat was first class"
"Good quality pub style food. Interesting surroundings including immaculate gardens and art gallery contained in beautifully converted farm buildings to wander around after your meal. Downside is the glazed terrace can get unbearably hot without benefit of blinds."
