Somerset

Discover the best restaurants in Somerset, from inventive neighbourhood dining to country pubs and destination restaurants with serious culinary ambition.

Somerset has always been a county that knows a thing or two about food. Its dairies, orchards, farms and makers have helped shape the region’s culinary identity, but today’s restaurant scene is about far more than tradition.

In towns and villages across the county, exciting independent restaurants are putting Somerset firmly on the dining map. Some draw directly on the surrounding landscape and its producers; others take inspiration from further afield, bringing bold flavours and new perspectives to the local food scene.

There are relaxed bistros, accomplished country pubs and intimate dining rooms where the food is worth making a journey for. What unites our selection is a commitment to doing things exceptionally well.
