Local & Organic Food
We like to encourage our guests to eat local produce while they are here. If you wish, you can order a range of fresh provisions from Somerset Farmers Markets Direct This will be delivered to me and I can stock your fridge before you arrive. Alternatively, there is an excellent farm shop about 10 minutes drive away offering home- or locally-produced meat, dairy products, bread and organic vegetables and fruit.
Eating & Drinking Out
There are three pubs within walking distance, two of which do good food. The White Hart is the 'local' and has a good selection of real beers. The New Inn offers an extensive menu all day and good quality wines by the glass. The Lamb, about ¾ mile away, serves portions that make the walk home a necessity to shift the calories!
