Please remember, if service is a little slower than normal during these extreme temperatures, our staff are doing their absolute best whilst working in very challenging conditions.

This applies to hospitality venues as a whole. ❤️

Happy Somerset Day! ❤️
Happy Somerset Day ❤️

The date links back to King Alfred the Great and the gathering before the Battle of Edington in 878 AD, where Somerset played an important role in resisting the Vikings. Somerset Day was officially launched in 2015 to celebrate everything special about the county.

From the breathtaking cliffs of Cheddar Gorge to rolling hills, cider orchards, coastlines and charming villages — there’s something truly special about Somerset.

It’s a county full of history, character, community and independent businesses that make it one of the most beautiful places in the country to live, work and explore.

Today we celebrate everything that makes Somerset… Somerset.
