There is a lovely café here , they use all freshly grown produce from their large walled kitchen garden. Extra delicious lunches and cakes, plus do a cream tea.

The café is open Thursday-Saturday 10-4, the Pottery is open Monday to Saturday.

Great for breakfast, brunch, lunch in the local town of Langport. They bake their own bread in a bakery up the road, sells out before lunch most days as it is superb. Lovely space, lots of beams, pretty garden by the River Parrett.

In a beautiful spot over looking the magical Somerset Levels, this is a traditional cider farm (and home!) where we produce cider plus a range of other apple products including the first Cider Brandy Distillery in the UK since the 1600's producing a range of up to 20 year old brandies.

This pub is in Godney, a little village near Glastonbury on a part of the Levels where time has stood still. You would not expect to find a venue like this there, a great pub serving exceptional and unusual food without trying to be too posh or gastro. They do music nights so look on line, dancingm dj's, bands. Amazing range of cocktails and the absolute best non alcoholic cocktails ever tasted, try their non alcoholic Margarita! They are also very amenable to children and have a terrace over the river which is lovely on a sunny day.
