Franks Restaurant

I found Franks by searching on the internet and booked for 6 people by phone. We planned to meet up with my brother-in-law for the day while he was on holiday in the UK. He stayed about 50 miles away and we drove down from the N-West, so all we had to go on was internet reviews. This was the first visit to this part of the UK for all of us, but I think after this we will be coming back again. Anyhow, the staff were unobtrusive but friendly, helpful and extremely welcoming. Then the food was absolutely fantastic. I could describe all the different dishes we had between us, but there was one common factor - really good food cooked to perfection. Well worth the 350 mile round trip just for the meal.

I stumbled upon the restaurant whilst visiting Cheddar, and what a find! Coming from the outskirts of London, I rarely find good quality food outside of major towns. On arrival, I was greeted with a warm welcome and offered a drink at the bar whilst I made my menu selection. My husband chose his starter of pigeon breast and foie gras and main course of Dover sole in a lemon and caviar butter sauce from the specials board, whilst I chose the Cornish squid for starter and the gressingham duck breast from the menu. All were absolutely delicious and were accompanied by some very flavoursome and fresh vegetables. We selected a New Zealand sauvignon Blanc from their very extensive, yet reasonable priced wine list. I was unable to have a dessert as I was too full but my husband decided on the cheese board, which came as an array of six different cheeses with redcurrant jelly, walnuts and of course a large selection of biscuits. Our overall dining experience was wonderful and I only wish they were situated nearer to home.
