Somerset is a county packed with incredible scenery, from rolling hills to stunning coastlines to quaint little villages with traditional architecture. It's also a county that's known for its fantastic local food and drink, meaning that eating out when you head down to the South West for a UK staycation is a real treat.
If you’re looking for somewhere to eat that’ll give you a unique experience you can’t recreate anywhere else, then take your pick from these four incredible restaurants and cafes.
Pip’s Railway Carriage Cafe, Lopenhead
Dine in a beautifully-refurbished old railway carriage, in a restored green double-decker bus or in the garden of this quirky cafe, where the menus are inspired by both local Somerset suppliers and their own farm produce. As well as main meals like soups, sandwiches, salads and pasta dishes, you’ll find an incredible range of cakes and bakes to eat, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options throughout the menu.
