We visited with a group of seven (3 adults and 4 kids) on a Saturday evening during Mother's Day weekend. The food, atmosphere, and service were all exceptional. We enjoyed a variety of pizzas, small dishes, a veggie sharing board, pasta, and desserts. The flavors were fantastic, especially in the smaller dishes and pizzas. Both adults and kids were equally satisfied. While it may not be the most affordable option, it is definitely worth the price. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Although we have frequently visited Clevedon over the years, and often popped into the deli at Murrays, we never seemed to get around to eating there. On arrival there was a real buzz about the place with lots of locals and a welcoming atmosphere. We were seated and presented with the menus, which all sounded fantastic. We got even more excited. The restaurant manager came over and explained that my gluten-free option (I have a diagnosed intolerance and allergy), specifically the second course would be cooked first, to avoid being fried in the subsequent wheat containing mixture, and that the dessert would be Greek yogurt panna cotta. Hmm, Greek … in a wholly Italian restaurant … ? Not ricotta, or mascarpone, or indeed the Amalfi lemon of my partner’s dessert tart. Odd. It felt almost like the chef had forgotten, and they’d popped over to the supermarket across the road. Nevertheless, we overlooked it as the menu read like a culinary delight. The starter, a risotto was sumptuous with just the right amount of bite. Then came the second course, which was a little puzzling given the manager’s comment when we were seated. We were served pretty much as one of the last tables. Both plates being put down without comment. The waitress instantly whizzing away. Only several minutes later did I manage to catch her eye as she walked past without stopping, to ask “Can I please check that this is gluten-free?”. “Yeah” came the reply from the back of my head as she headed away. Okay, I thought, tucking into my now cold second course. Communication and attention to detail being everything. The main course, described as slow-cooked pork in milk was the least successful dish of the evening. Super-dry to the point of the texture of splintered wood, it needed both more of the delicious zesty herby pesto that accompanied it and a good dose of the reduced cooking liquor. It sounded and should have been soft and yielding, with bags of flavour; sadly, it was not. Then came the dessert: two plates of Amalfi lemon tart. Plonked down without comment. The waitress once again making herself unavailable. I had to catch her eye once again when she emerged. “I’m sorry’, I said, “I think mine is supposed to be panna cotta?”. No reply, the plate whipped away. Several minutes later, Greek yogurt panna cotta. Minus half of the supposed accompaniments, including a delicious sounding pistachio (which I love) cream. Nice enough panna cotta, but not mind-blowing. By which point we were a little deflated and rather ready to leave. Check-please. We will in most likelihood try Murrays of Clevedon again to eat, maybe on another event evening. Everyone deserves another chance, but I would seriously suggest that you check and check again if you have any intolerances or food allergies.

I opted for the roast lamb, a classic choice, but the twist came with the vegetable selection including roast beetroot, leeks, parsnips, and carrots, as well as a savory scone on the side. The roast potatoes were perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The desserts were elegantly presented. The three-course meal was reasonably priced at £30 and we felt it was good value for the quality of the food. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to our overall enjoyable experience.
