Folk in the snug

Folk in the snug

An open session around the fire. Bring a fiddle, a squeezebox or just a good voice — or sit back with a pint and listen. Everyone is welcome to join in.

Long table supper
First Friday · 7.30pm · £35

Long table supper

Once a month the tables are pushed together for a three-course feast of whatever is in season on the farms around us. Strangers at the start, old friends by pudding.

Sunday hill walk

Sunday hill walk

Jack leads a four-mile loop up through the oak combes onto the Quantock ridge and back in time for the first roast. Dogs, children and muddy boots all very welcome.
