We held our daughter's wedding recetion here recently, and would just like to say Thank you to Tracey , Simon and their fantastic team for being part of making the day so perfect. The attention to detail was superb. Would highly recommend for a family reception. It was the first Wedding Reception for The Gallery, the first of many I... More

Although we have been living in the area for four years now, this is a venue we hadn't managed to get around to trying. However, friends of ours decided to hold their wedding reception at thie restaurant yesterday and I felt I had to make a review. The proprietors and their staff really went the extra mile to make sure... More

Living locally but only just having discovered this restaurant (via a TripAdvisor trawl) we liked it enough to return several times for a relaxed, tastily prepared and good value meal. The Midweek Special (2 rumpsteaks with pommes frites, small salad and a good bottle of house wine for £25) was exceptional value and quality. Friendly and welcoming staff and a... More

We arrived in Chard on a Friday afternoon and went to check out the area. We were dismayed to find only take aways on the high street. We decided to turn off and go up a side street. The best thing we did. We discovered The Gallery. What a find from Simon at front of house to the food absolutely... More

Thank you for venturing down Holyrood Street and joining us that evening, comments like yours really lift our spirits! I know you live some distance away, but we hope to see you again. In fact, I'm thinking about teaming up with the excellent B&Bs we have in Chard and offering B, B & B (Briand, Bed & Breakfast)! What do... More

Having looked at the reviews for this restaurant and the menu online, was very disappointed with our lunch at The Gallery. It was my father's 80th birthday and we had driven from the New Forest to take him and his wife out to lunch somewhere local to them. The concept and design of the restaurant was really very good and... More

We are sorry to hear that your recent visit to The Gallery did not live up to your expectations. As the owners of this business we are disappointed that you did not let us know that things weren't up to scratch at the time and allow us the opportunity to put things right. We appreciate your feedback but it would... More

The owner made us feel welcome from the moment we wondered in to enquire about booking a table. Care was taken to show us around the place which is intimate and thoughtfully decorated, from that moment we were very much looking forward to the meal. The meal itself was fantastic, we had the finest local fillet steak as their speciality... More

We found this restaurant by chance having been recommended by our hotelier, and were not disappointed. The concept of an art gallery which is also restaurant is not new but in this case it was perfectly executed, the decor was tasteful and the atmosphere welcoming, and the hosts were genuinely warm and friendly. The food in this restaurant was sublime!... More

We cannot believe we have only just found this superb restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and the welcome by owners genuine. The food is simply wonderful and the chef has to be congratulated on producing such quality dishes. Now we have found the Gallery we certainly will be visiting again. P.s. the house wine is very very good!! More

We had the mid-week special offer - wine and steak and chips for two for £25. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the house wine was excellent. The owner was very friendly and chatty although never overpowering, and the Gallery bistro/cafe is spotlessly clean and interestingly decorated - it serves too as an art gallery - hence the name...
