The Farm Caff
Our restaurant is about reconnecting our plates to where our food comes from — to the soil, our ecosystems and to nature.
Instead of bringing the farm to the table, we’ve brought your table to the farm. Across the land, we use natural growing methods to create healthy ecosystems with rich, living soil, as we strive to grow the most delicious food for your plate.
Courtyard Bar & Pizza Saturdays
During the summer months, our courtyard bar is open serving local pints, natural wines, seasonal cocktails and proper 0% options, plus classic bar snacks and Monty’s cheese toasties.
On Saturdays, a local pizza chef joins us to serve wood-fired pizza from 12pm - 7pm.
Tucked away in the heart of Somerset, our cosy ensuite cabins are an escape into nature, and a chance to enjoy our natural farm.
