The Cotley Inn, Wambrook, Chard, Somerset
The award-winning Cotley Inn has the most idyllic setting, on the side of a hill overlooking fields and woods in an unspoilt corner of Somerset. The feels are relaxed, whether you’re inside by the fireside in winter, out on the terrace or in the beer garden in the summer.
The service and the food are both excellent and the former comes with a good choice, depending on how hungry you are. If you just want to fill a gap have a pork pie or a scotch egg, if you want something more substantial choose from mains of Beer battered haddock fillet, minted crushed peas, chunky chips and curried tartare sauce, Crispy halloumi burger, roasted red pepper hummus, rocket, grilled courgette, house slaw and chunky chips, or Honey & cardamom glazed guinea fowl, celeriac dauphinoise, tenderstem broccoli, celeriac & apple puree, pickled brambly sauce and Somerset cider jus. In the summer you can dine alfresco on sourdough wood fired pizzas served from a converted horsebox.
They follow principles of nose to tail, ensuring as little waste as possible, and of minimal food miles, so meat comes from the local estate, game from the fields, fish from the south coast, and greens and herbs from the kitchen garden.
Dogs and muddy boots are welcome, so it’s good to come here after a walk in the hills.
