Nothing is wasted at The Holcombe – least of all an opportunity to make something in-house.

Husband and wife team Alan and Caroline Lucas have created one of Somerset’s most distinctive dining destinations, where thoughtful craftsmanship and exceptional produce sit at the heart of every menu. What can’t be grown on-site is sourced from trusted local farmers, fishermen and producers who share the same commitment to quality.

The menu changes with the seasons and features dishes such as Brixham sole with brown shrimp butter, and lamb cutlets with garden pea puree, Isle of Wight tomatoes and Holcombe ricotta.
