The Farmers Arms

The Farmers Arms is a blueprint for the modern dining pub: a creative kitchen, own-farmed produce, inventive drinks and rooms that mix vintage character with contemporary comfort.

Part of The Collective at Woolsery, a group of village enterprises from tech entrepreneurs Michael and Xochi Birch, the pub is rooted in its surrounding landscape. Guests dine in one of three rustic dining rooms or the garden courtyard for head chef Toby Neal’s reinterpretations of British classics.

The Birch Farm Tasting Menu is flush with seasonal produce and meat, including wild foraged ingredients, farm-raised duck and wild fallow deer, sourced from The Collective’s 150-acre farm and surrounding producers. On Sundays, family-style lunches bring together a generous spread of roast favourites.

For private dining, The Potting Shed hosts up to 18 in a natural garden setting, complete with a seasonal bar.

The four-night Food and Farm package offers the full Collective experience: accommodation, four dinners (including the tasting menu, pub menu, fish and chips, and Sunday roast) plus a farm tour and room-service breakfasts or morning bakery baskets.
