My husband and I enjoyed a childless weekend in Bruton and spent our first evening out to dinner at Matt's Kitchen. Every part of our visit was perfection, from the warm greeting right up to final goodbye from Matt, himself. The food was exquisite, every mouthful was unbelievable. I would have booked us in for the Saturday if Matt hadn't been fully booked. It's a set menu each month but yes, the food was that good that I'd have eaten it all over again the very next day. Matt and his team are the perfect hosts, the restaurant is so warm and comforting. Being able to BYOB gave it that extra feel of relaxation... as though we'd hired a charming personal chef! Do not hesitate to book Matt's Kitchen. We will be returning to Bruton and our first stop will be Matt's Kitchen!

Had the most gorgeous evening with Matt & his lovely team. Can’t recommend his wonderful place more highly.Food made with love & care. attentive service, Fabulous setting, absolutely loved the decor, the artwork & his honouring of the unique character of thimble cottage.Definitely a dining experience to be savoured from a genuine host that truly deserves his reputation. Thank you Matt for sharing your home, you are a legend. We will return. Many Blessings, love & light ??

My husband and I went to Matt's Kitchen last night after a long week of work. It was just what the soul ordered. Food was thought out, flavours were fantastic and made with the best ingredient, love!Matt's hosting was lovely and personable, we were late and he was very forgiving! The team he has is also lovely and personable, timely service while letting you sit and and his place has a very relaxed dinner vibe without being ushered out to turn tables over.Beautiful bathroom experience, all the stuff you see there is well thought out and as Matt chatted to us, he has taken his time to hone and has no wastage with food, and has organic hand towels.Lovely hosting, fantastic food, byo drinks. Really lovely Friday night, thanks Matt and team of ladies, you kicked of our weekend beautifully

Had the most amazing 3 course last night. What an experience! Lovely intimate setting and Matt literally opens up his home to welcome a select few. Lovely staff and Matt is a delight to chat to. He spends the time to speak to you on your table, and if your lucky, he might even show you his kitchen.It felt like visiting a friend for a meal, except the friend cooks Michelin star food. If you haven't been, stop thinking about it, just book and go now if you enjoy delicious, well crafted flavours. Looking forward to seeing what's on the menu next month. Don't forget it's BYO, which is great being able to bring along your favourite drink.Keep up the amazing work Matt and the rest of the team. We look forward to coming back soon to support local again in another month or so.

Delicious. Unpretentious, good quality food. You can’t get these places in London. Count myself lucky to have been. Thanks Matt and team. Xx

My wife, brilliantly, booked Matt's Kitchen to celebrate my 50th birthday. It really was the perfect choice. The dining experience is unique, the welcome warm and the food, well, simply divine. Matt is a superb host, fun, warm and friendly, and his passion for his food is obvious. We had three sublime courses, each introduced with an explanation of what we were about to enjoy. And enjoy we did. Each course was a taste sensation, generous in their portion size and flavours. The atmosphere in the restaurant is friendly, comfortable, unique and original. For the quality of the dishes and the personal service, it really can't be beaten. I cannot recommend Matt's Kitchen enough.

What a place.A different seasonal menu each month where you get everything listed, and it's BYO ?The service and atmosphere was beyond expectations. Matt greeted us at the door and went on to explain each dish as it came out. I emailed prior to the meal to ask if a candle could be put in my husband's dessert for his birthday... Every course featured a candle. Brilliant!The food was of course out of this world. Stunning flavours and all presented beautifully.I cannot recommend Matt's Kitchen enough.The order:£40 per person for everything on the menuBring your own drinks ?? Visited in November 2023

What a lovely experience. To be greeted by Matt, in his home and to eat the most marvellous food based around what’s in season. His big punchy flavours delight the palate yet hang well together - rarely have I had such a delicious meal, and all for £40! A shout out to Matt’s staff too, the girls were great, welcoming, efficient and smiling. If you are in Bruton and want a cheaper alternative to the more expensive restaurants, but without compromising on quality and taste, book at Matt’s Kitchen.

From booking all the way through to the sublime food experience Matt’s Kitchen was kind, welcoming and a taste sensation. Staying in the area alone for a few weeks Matt found me a table even though they were fully booked. Enjoyed the whole experience immensely thanks so much for a lovely Friday night… meant to take photos of the beautiful incredible tasting food but too preoccupied eating it!
Thursday night was the first time that my wife and I have eaten in matt‘skitchen ,Itwas an excellent experience, delightful food with lots of little twists and turns that made it an interesting and very enjoyable meal. Indeed, matt was helpful interesting and obviously takes a great deal of professional pride in the products he delivers to the table. If you’re in Bruton, it must be on your to do list

Absolutely fabulous experience- food was creative & very tasty, enough to be full, but not overfull, which suited us for an evening meal ? Matt was engaging & just loved the way he explained the dishes, if he wasn’t cooking, he should be on the stage ? super cosy, quirky atmosphere- a perfect way to celebrate the day we met 40 years ago- thanks Matt & team ???

If you fancy something a bit different then this is for you. Cosy, informal and a little quirky. Set meal (no choice), byo, nice food.

We had an incredible vegetarian meal, every dish was spectacular. Great atmosphere and Matt & Georgia were super friendly. Highly recommend a visit.

We went to Matt's kitchen for our wedding anniversary and the food was outstanding honestly some of the best food I have ever eaten. Matt is a genuinely nice guy who explained each dish. I can't wait for another reason to go again...
