Since 1992 we’ve welcomed guests for great food and drink in our lively restaurant. Sourcing locally is second nature to us – from the North Devon herd out at Newton Farm for our outstanding steak cuts (3 miles from us) or local gin that’s made literally around the corner. Through December, we’ll be hosting live music alongside our popular Brasserie menu and seasonal specials. Expect good cheer, festive vibes and award winning food and drink. As well as our indoor dining and live music, we’ll be welcoming guests on our two heated, covered terraces for casual food & drink from Bath Pizza Co.
