Puddy - Mendip

Steak, Cafe, British

Puddys Cafe offers a mixed experience, with highlights and low points. Diners are often drawn in by the appealing baked goods on display, and some appreciate the prompt service and friendly staff. However, many reviews lament the shoddy decor and outdated menu presentations, as well as inconsistent food quality, like overcooked dishes and occasional cleanliness issues. While some guests enjoy delicious takeaway options, others leave dissatisfied, citing long waits and lackluster meals. For those who value charm and character, Puddys may be worth a visit, but customers should manage expectations regarding the overall dining experience.

The premises decor and furnishings reminded me of cafes back in with the wooden panels on the walls, the tables had granite tops. Chairs had side bars to rest arms on.

Popped in here for lunch with my grandson. Little tight for space with tables packed in. Dark wood so made the place seem even smaller!. Strong smell of chips throughout simple food served quickly medium portions. Takeaway counter for cakes pastries and bread also available. Appears popular with local people which can often be a good recommendation! Service: Dine in

The waitress with dark hair was very helpful, but the two blonde waitresses went above and beyond for our group of 7 ladies during brunch. The service was great and the price per person was between £1 and £10.
