The Wheatsheaf
Style Gastro-hub with rooms
Setting Somerset’s farmland fields
At The Wheatsheaf, a delightful country gastropub and boutique inn, the really big draw is the phenomenal cooking; you'll lurch from meal to glorious meal in a delirium of pastoral astonishment. When you're not eating (these times will be few, so bring an appetite), Bath and Somerset are on your doorstep, providing plenty of pastimes both genteel (Regency architecture, Roman Baths) and adventurous (hiking, hot-air ballooning).

Food and drink at The Wheatsheaf
- Hotel restaurant Absolutely everything that emanates from chef Lee Evans’ kitchen at the Wheatsheaf is a pure, unbridled joy. His eclectic modern menu marries British flavours with French élan. Just reading it will make you drool: dishes include seared diver-caught scallops with boudin noir and belly pork; roast guinea fowl breast with local wild garlic and morels; and coconut baked Alaska. At lunchtime (noon–2.30pm), the à la carte menu is joined by a Garden Menu of grown-up gastropub offerings, including a ploughman’s to die for, with plank-thick hunks of ham and wedges of tangy cheese, and fresh, home-made breads and rolls. Closed Sunday evenings and on Mondays.
