Bar & Restaurant
Dining is offered in the relaxed bar area or more formal restaurant, with wood panelling, log piles and a roaring open fire, watched over by a huge lion’s head on the wall. We are open for lunch and dinner every day of the year. Booking is recommended.
We are fortunate to be in a part of the country which is rich in fresh ingredients and our Head Chef works with his team to select dishes which reflect the current pickings of the season. The menu is a versatile combination of gastro dishes and good pub classics, which change regularly. See our sample menus. We are proud of our Taste of the West Gold Award and consistently good reviews for the quality of our food.
Our alfresco, covered wood-fired pizza bar is open from Friday afternoon to Sunday during the summer months (check for opening times) to catch a quick pizza on your way home or enjoy a snack on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
