Hotels with Restaurants in Somerset

Somerset prides itself on its quality, locally produced and traditional food. Somerset is also moving with the times and has a number of vegetarian and organic food restaurants and hotspots, and a choice of vegetarian B&Bs and holiday accommodation. All the main Somerset student hotspots, Bath and Bristol have an excellent choice of restaurants across the board, including vegetarian and vegan.

Some of Somerset's food is famous the world over but where better to try the authentic Cheddar cheese than in Cheddar itself? You can also see how cheddar cheese is made. Cheddar is also renowned for its strawberries and you often see lovely fresh fruit and veg being sold on the roadside. You can visit cider farms and see how traditional cider, cider brandy and apple juice is made. Where better to taste all that Somerset has to offer than where it's actually produced locally. The great thing about Somerset is that eating and drinking is all part of the culture and you'll often find high quality cuisine in the pubs, restaurants and hotels in the region.

Somerset celebrates its food by having various food based festivals that are always worth a look like the Frome Cheese Festival and Mendip Food and Drink Festival. Wellington in west Somerset is something of a food capital for the area bringing local producers together for their annual Food Fair. You'll also find many of Somerset's traditional market towns carrying on that tradition with regular Farmers Markets.

Somerset Fine Dining Restaurants and Awards

Many restaurants within Somerset B&B guesthouses and small hotels are family run, offering a sumptuous choice of fresh local produce, often organically grown. So, if you're looking for romantic dinners for two, or hearty homecooked Somerset produce, fresh from one of the many local farms and farmers' markets, choose from many Somerset B&B guesthouses and character hotels.

There's some fabulous large character historic country manor hotels in Somerset offering excellent catering facilities for large parties including banquet services with private bars - perfect for celebrations and weddings. Expect an extensive menu choice ranging from A La Carte/Table d'hote menus to more traditional menu choices. In such venues everything's 'all in', including catering and restaurant facilities, entertainment, and of course your accommodation is just upstairs.

The 'restaurant with rooms' experience is highly recommended, and you'll find a growing selection of these across Somerset. Some superb restaurants provide luxury accommodation above select restaurants, often because they are located off the beaten track, perhaps in superb walking country. No need to rush fine dining - it's a great idea!
