Description

This 400 year old coaching Inn has been restored into a beautiful restaurant and bar. The restaurant uses Clinger Farm for most of the produce that is used in the kitchen which is only a few miles up the road.
The pub has local ciders, ales and larger as well as a varied menu of wines and aged whiskies. Wine tasting sessions are available for small groups, please book in advance. The pub also serves bar food such as thyme roast chicken risotto with Somerset truffle oil, in a comfortable setting.
