Dining

Glebe House

Restaurant£££10.3 km

A heartfelt and heartwarming place, Glebe House feels like a sanctuary from our over-busy modern world. Chef-Owner Hugo Guest grew up in this former Georgian vicarage, before returning home and transforming it into a 15-acre smallholding and restaurant. Rustic charm oozes from every corner of the classic country house décor, while the surrounding farmland provides plenty of quality ingredients for the tasting menu – including home-cured meats from their own pigs. Each dish is unfussy and flavoursome, and explained with pride by the chefs.

The Cotley Inn

Restaurant££12.6 km

Despite being just a 10 minute drive from the centre of Chard, there’s a wonderfully rural feeling that accompanies a visit to this former 17C farmhouse. The inn is nestled in a lush green valley overlooking the Blackdown Hills, with its converted outbuildings turned into bedrooms. The cooking offers dashes of creativity while still delivering satisfying pub dishes like slow-roasted pork belly. They take a local, seasonal and nose-to-tail approach to their ingredients, with animals reared on site and produce grown in the kitchen garden.
