Osip

★ Michelin££££Modern British

Formerly located in the centre of Bruton, Osip is now situated more rurally, in a stunningly renovated former pub that retains the minimalistic elegance of the original. Forward-thinking chef Merlin Labron-Johnson and his enthusiastic team are passionate about their farm-to-table ethos, with the tasting menus showcasing an array of home-grown and locally sourced produce. Dishes like chilled tomato consommé with fig oil shine in their technical precision and pure, natural flavours. The wine flights highlight organic and biodynamic choices, while there are also non-alcoholic pairings.

Bib Gourmand 1

Pythouse Kitchen Garden

Bib Gourmand££Traditional British

You'll struggle to find a lovelier all-round experience than having lunch at Pythouse Kitchen Garden. Set inside a red-brick former potting shed within a Victorian walled garden, it's a gorgeous setting with elegance and country charm to spare. The cooking is a joy too, with great value to be had in the generous fixed-price offering built around cooking over fire. The ingredients, many from the garden itself, are of real quality and used to brilliant effect – like the pickled gooseberry ketchup offsetting rich game sausage.

The Dog House

££Meats and Grills

The kind of place where you’re sure to leave with a smile on your face, this ivy-clad 19th-century pub has been lovingly restored with a quirky touch. The inviting bar leads through to the equally characterful restaurant, where cooking over fire is focus. Expect the likes of oyster mushroom skewers with wild garlic and gochujang, bavette with kale and romesco, or fire-licked pork belly with lightly charred hispi cabbage. To finish, the on-trend Basque cheesecake is a generous treat. Friendly, enthusiastic service and fairly priced wines are the icing on the cake.

The Three Horseshoes

££Traditional British

Large fireplaces, stone floors and whitewashed walls feature inside this renovated 17C pub. The pared-back décor is joined by similarly straightforward and equally appealing cooking that includes hearty dishes like rabbit pie and mince on toast. This approach allows the ingredients to speak for themselves, with local Somerset produce a feature. Five bedrooms add to the inn’s appeal, as do an attractive terrace and small walled garden.
