Osip
Modern British · ★ Michelin
££££
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.

Briar
Contemporary, Sharing · Bib
££
Within the charming Georgian hotel that is Number One Bruton, sits this attractive restaurant which we’d all love to have at the end of our street. It’s the kind of place that warms your heart, run with a genuine friendliness and enthusiasm that’s mirrored by the bright, fresh cooking that can’t help but put a smile on your face. Order three to four of the sharing plates per person and you’ll be treated to great value dishes that burst with flavour – like the buttermilk fried partridge enlivened by pickled shallots and tarragon mayonnaise.

Bath Arms
Modern British
££
Sample local ales in the open-fired bar or on the delightful terrace of this stylishly updated 18th-century country inn on the Longleat Estate, then head for one of the numerous cosy, well-appointed dining rooms. There’s a relaxed air throughout, making the cooking all the more enjoyable, whether it be haddock and chips, chargrilled steaks or whole plaice. Local producers are pushed to the fore, as are meat and game from Longleat. Make a night of it and stay over in one of the modern, country house-esque bedrooms.

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.

DA COSTA
Italian
£££
The stunning Art Farm development makes a fitting home for this equally gorgeous restaurant. As soon as you enter, you’re met with the enticing aroma of wood-fired cooking, emanating from the breathtakingly designed open kitchen. With pots, pans and even chairs hanging from the ceiling, plus an abundance of wooden furnishings, it’s like dining in a particularly chic country kitchen. The menu looks to all things Italian, with terrific hand-cut pasta and hearty, wholesome flavours across the board – bigoli with venison ragu is the epitome of the style.

Bunch of Grapes
Modern British
££
The Bunch of Grapes might be the oldest pub in this historic town but it now comes with an appealing modern edge and a deli selling tempting treats. Downstairs has a pubby feel, while upstairs has more of a restaurant vibe, and you can have anything from a burger to an ambitious tasting menu.

Botanical Rooms
Modern British
££££
Set within the grounds of The Newt in Somerset, a striking Georgian estate that houses a number of mini-hotels, sits a beautiful mellow stone building. Within it is a stunning oak-panelled dining room, with a glass-covered courtyard and a laid-back feel. Inside a semi-open kitchen, the chefs skilfully handle seasonal local produce, be it lamb from the estate or seafood from the Dorset coast, with the wood-fired grill often used to good effect. The polite and efficient service ensures everything runs smoothly within this eminently elegant setting.

Menu Gordon Jones
Modern Cuisine
££££
This tiny, highly likeable restaurant has a relaxed, cheerful feel, which is a reflection of its easy-going Chef-Owner. The room is dominated by an open kitchen, where you can watch Gordon preparing creative, complex dishes. The daily changing surprise menu delivers punchy flavour combinations and several playful elements. He serves many of the dishes himself and chats with guests, adding to the feel that this is a very personal operation.
