This deliciously different restaurant sits within a rustic 17C inn in the heart of Glastonbury, and comes with numerous seating areas, including a cosy courtyard for sunny days. Menus showcase West Country produce and the resulting Middle Eastern and Mediterranean small plates burst with colour and flavour. Grab a friend, go for the chef’s selection entitled the ‘Queen’s Feast’ and accompany it with the ‘sharing ciders’.
WebsiteAn experienced chef and a bright, breezy team run this welcoming little bistro. Sit in the cosy, intimate dining room or the bright conservatory with sliding glass doors and a retractable roof. Hearty, unfussy cooking mixes French-influenced dishes with updated British classics.
WebsiteDating back to the 18C, this lovely stone-built inn sits in a picture postcard village and its back garden and terrace is a real jewel. The chef-owner’s personality, his experience in previous kitchens, and his knowledge of the locale, all inform his appealing menu of modern, balanced dishes that are big on flavour and guaranteed to hit the spot. Four bedrooms occupy what was once the skittle alley.
