Lunch where the apples used to wait.

Book a table

The restaurant, café and bar live in the old apple store, where the harvest once sat before pressing. The farm shop stocks the larder next door; the kitchen makes everything from scratch.

The kitchen

Somerset classics, and Elhamy’s own.

Head Chef Elhamy has cooked for thirty years, from fine dining and country houses to this farm. The menu runs fish finger sandwiches beside chicken shawarma flatbreads: Somerset produce, an Egyptian-Italian accent, everything from scratch.

“Food was brilliant and dessert was lovely! Would go back again tomorrow if I could.”

The cheesemonger

September’s pairing: Harlech & Sheppy's Craft Perry.

A creamy mature cheddar with horseradish and parsley, against the delicate elegance of the pear orchard. Their cheesemongers' own pairing of the month. Every cheese may be tasted before it is wrapped, and for occasions the counter will build you a tiered cake of it.

The farm shop

An award-winning counter, and its producers.

Bespoke hampers of Somerset produce, built to your budget by the shop team. Gift vouchers from £5 to £100, redeemable at the farm.

Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff and a delicious range... I could not have wanted more from the experience.” — A Taste of the West judge, on their own page
