SOMERSET
COUNTY COUNCIL COAT OF ARMS
 The dragon was said to have been the emblem
of the Royal House of the Saxon Kingdom of Wessex,
of which Somerset was a part. The Wessex dragon is
sometimes shown red and sometimes gold. According to
Henry of Huntingdon, writing in the twelfth century,
the dragon was already the emblem of the West Saxons
at the middle of the eighth century, and it seems to
be likely that they had adopted it in token of their
conquest of the Britons. While Somerset bears the
dragon in token of the Kingdom of Wessex, the emblem
also aptly recalls that according to legend the
County contains King Arthur's capital, Camelot, and
his place of burial, Avalon. The mace is the symbol
of local government.The Saxon Crown along with those about the necks of the supporters refer to the three kings of Saxon England buried at Glastonbury. The Cheddar Pink is a flower that grows only on stony ledges in Cheddar Gorge. The ram, stag, bull and cider apples represent Somerset's agriculture and natural history. The motto recalls dramatic days in the history of Wessex when, early in 878 Danish invaders threatened to overwhelm the kingdom and Alfred the Great, the young King of Wessex, was forced to take refuge on Athelney in the 'fen fastnesses' of the Somerset Levels. The story is famously told in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle."And afterwards at Easter . . . he and the section of the people of Somerset which was nearest to it proceeded to fight . . . against the enemy. Then in the seventh week after Easter he rode to Egbert's Stone east of Selwood, and there came to meet him all the people of Somerset ('Sumorsaete ealle') and of Wiltshire and of that part of Hampshire which was on the side of the sea, and they rejoiced to see him."The Chronicle continues by recording Alfred’s defeat of the Danes at Edington in Wiltshire and the baptism at Aller, near Athelney, of the Danish leader.It was appropriate that when the County Council was granted armorial bearings the golden dragon should have been chosen as the centrepiece of the shield, and that its motto should be 'Sumorsaete ealle', recalling those crucial events in national history when Somerset and its people were first mentioned. |

 Does
Facebook Have a Case? Facebook
is suing a company called Teachbook ,
which operates a social networking site for teachers,
apparently because it has "book" in its name and
"competes" with Facebook. Teachbook is described as "a
professional community for teachers". Sounds like a
threat to Facebook's existence doesn't it? Well
we know of a book that predates Facebook and tells us
all about Somerset. Yes "The Doomsdaybook! The
Domesday Book was commissioned in December 1085 by
William the Conqueror, who invaded England in 1066.
The first draft was completed in August 1086 and
contained records for 13,418 settlements in the
English counties south of the rivers Ribble and Tees
(the border with Scotland at the time).Read about Somerset

Visit Camelot
City  Travel the South West of England with the
Great British Heritage Pass - explore the stunning
South Western regions and England heritage
properties of Bristol, Bath, Cornwall, Devon,
Cirencester, Wiltshire, Christchurch and more.Your tour of South West England begins at
Lacock Abbey, a 13th century abbey converted into a
house in 1540, with 18th century Gothic alterations.
It was also used for the filming of various interior
scenes at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.Next head off to Bath to see the Roman
Baths and Pump Room, the extensive remains of Roman
Baths and Temple Complex, and amongst the finest
Roman remains in Europe. Mystical Stonehenge next
awaits you, where for over 5,000 years these
enigmatic stones have engendered a sense of
reverence in the millions who have visited them. Continue heading southwest towards
Stourhead, a world-famous garden laid out from
1741-80, where its lakes, temples and rare trees
form a landscape of breathtaking beauty throughout
the year. Barrington Court Garden in Somerset is a
tudor manor house restored in the 1920s, with a
garden laid out in a series of ‘rooms.’ Next head to South Devon and see Berry
Pomeroy Castle, a romantic late medieval castle
located halfway up a wooded hillside, which looks
over a deep ravine and stream. Escape to Trebah Garden, a 26-acre early
19th century ravine garden that falls to a private
beach on the Helford River. It is a paradise for
artists, gardeners, and families. Next head for St. Michael’s Mount, a
medieval castle on a tiny island linked to the
mainland by a causeway, before continuing to
Tintagel Castle, the legendary birthplace of King
Arthur. The extensive ruins of this medieval castle
cling precariously to the edge of a cliff. Finish your tour of the South West of
England with a trip to Lundy Island, which has an
historical pirate connection and a puffin habitat.

| THE MENDIP HILLS The Mendip Hills are an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. They extend from just east of Wells almost to the Bristol Channel. Man has lived and worked on the Hills for many thousands of years. There are numerous burial mounds and the Romans mined for lead and what is left of these workings can be found at Charterhouse. These days the hills are enjoyed by the many visitors for the walking, biking, horse riding trails and the fantastic views. One of the best hills to climb is Crook Peak and although not that high it has far reaching views over the Somerset Levels and over the Bristol Channel to Wales. King John's Hunting Lodge is an early Tudor timber-framed wool merchant's house dating from about 1500. Ebbor Gorge is not on the scale of Cheddar Gorge but offers a beautiful meadow trail with wild flowers, wildlife and a small rocky gorge to walk through. Brean Down is not part of the Mendips but it is an extension of the hill range that juts into the Bristol Channel. This rocky outcrop is also a nature reserve that can be reached via a coast road from Burnham. |

GLASTONBURY  Glastonbury is a different
and rather lively small town. It has rich traditions,
a cosmopolitan community and a taste of tomorrow. It
sits on the ancient Isle of Avalon in the Somerset
Levels, with a backdrop of soft, green, rolling hills.
It has been a pilgrimage place for thousands of years. In the Middle Ages a great abbey was here - it was England's 'holyest earthe'. It now hosts the famous Glastonbury Festival, pilgrimages, music, a carnival, several conferences and other events. People visit from the world over, seeking a certain special something.... Overlooking it all is Glastonbury Tor, a fascinating holy hill. Tradition has it that Jesus visited and Joseph of Arimathaea built a church here, King Arthur and Guinevere were buried here and it was an ancient place of the Goddess. It was home to the medieval saints Patrick, Dunstan, Benedict, David and Bridget. Glastonbury has a population of nearly 10,000 people. It has a number of small industries, many self-employed people with special skills, a specialised retail sector and a big visitor trade. The Tourist Office is housed in Glastonbury Tribunal in the High Street. Take time to visit and browse theirrange of quality souvenirs and books. They are ticket agents for many local attractions & events. Visit the Lake Village Museum on the first floor. Sit in the tranquil & secluded garden with its stone courtyard & wishing well. Garden available for wedding photography. |

| VIRGIN HOT AIR BALOONING There was a time when Glastonbury’s famous tour was the talk of the town. It still is, but now somewhat overshadowed by the world’s top musicians and stars descending on the nation’s most famous farm for a 100,000 strong annual music marathon and/or sludge fest. But when they leave, Glastonbury becomes a serene picture of rural perfection. A stone’s throw from historic Cheddar and just a hop skip and a jump from beautiful Devon, you can be sure our Glastonbury launch site is a feast for the eyes.Take off, drift over incredible landscape then land in any one of thousands of empty fields.There’s no better way to explore one of Somerset’s biggest boasts than from the basket of a Virgin hot air balloon. |

| SHEPTON MALLET Shepton Mallet is a
delightful mixture of old and new; a combination
of ancient market town and modern industrial
community, nestling in a fold towards the western
edge of the Mendip Hills. With a population of some 8,000
residents Shepton Mallet is an ideal centre from
which to visit the region's many and varied
tourist attractions. Notable among the town's many features
of interest is the Parish Church of St. Peter and
St. Paul, the architectural history of the
building is a challenging puzzle to those
interested in the development of churches. The 50-foot high Market Cross in the
centre of the town dates from 1500, the Victoria
Fountain has been recently been restored and
nearby is a remnant of The Shambles, a 15th
century covered market stall. A thriving outdoor
market is still held around the Market Cross every
Friday.
For 3,000 years Shepton Mallet has been a hive of industry. The livelihoods of at least 120 generations have been spent in this small market town nestling in a fold of the Mendip Hills, along the narrow valley of the stream known as the River Sheppey. Recently, exciting new archaeological discoveries have revealed even more of the town's early history. In 1995 Bronze Age homesteads and pottery were found during excavations near Cannards Grave, to the south of the town. Maesbury Ring, the Iron Age town, 950 feet up on the Mendips is the earliest trace. The Romans left their mark on Shepton Mallet. The Fosse Way, their "motorway" from Exeter to the north of the country - passes through the east of the town, and its route can be traced up the narrow tracks of Brecon Hill, where ancient tumuli dot the landscape. Remains of Roman potters' kilns were found where the Anglo-Bavarian Brewery was built in he 1860s. Then in 1988, the discovery of a lead coffin led to the excavations in 1990 which revealed signs of a whole Roman industrial town beside the Fosse Way. It is believed that there is much more to unearth. 'Sceapton' or Sheep Fold was an Anglo-Saxon village. Over the next few centuries it grew into a prosperous market town, its wealth based on sheep and wool. The fine Parish Church, the Market Cross and the 'shambles' market stall in the Market Place all date from this period.The Shepton Mallet Tourist Information and Heritage Centre is conveniently situated at the top High Street. It is open from 10am to 4pm on Mondays to Fridays from April to October and from 10am to 4pm from November to March, and is also open from 10am to 2pm Saturdays from April to October and 10am to 1pm November to March. |

The gardens are Somerset’s best kept secret featuring a millpond and boating lake as well as rolling lawns, parterres and herbaceous borders. In Spring there is the most spectacular vibrant colour of rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias, but probably the most staggering feature of this Secret garden is the backdrop - a vast Grade II* listed viaduct built for the Somerset and Dorset railway in 1874. These features have helped Kilver to become one of the county’s leading wedding venues. |

| WELLS The smallest city in
England, Wells is an unspoilt market town of
outstanding beauty, located in rolling countryside, at
the foot of the Mendip Hills. Although much of the
glory of Wells lies in the past, it is very much a
city of the present day, a busy market town, and an
educational and commercial centre. Wells is a
medieval city nestling on the southern side of the
Mendip Hills with the mystic Somerset Levels
stretching away to the south and west. The history of
Wells goes right back to Roman times when we know that
there was a settlement, probably because of the
springs that bubble up here. Wells gets its name from
these springs which can today be found in the gardens
of the Bishop's Palace. Wells is the smallest
city in England with about 12,000 inhabitants. It can
call itself a city because of the famous 13th century
Cathedral. It remains remarkably unspoilt and has many
other historic buildings including the moated Bishop's
Palace, Vicars' Close, St Cuthbert's Church and a good
local museum. The Wells Market Place, with lively
markets twice a week, the narrow streets and an
eclectic mix of building styles all reflect on the
continuing development of the town throughout the
ages. Wells Visitor Information Service offer a wide
range of services to both visitors and local residents
alike, and a warm welcome will always be assured.
Members of staff at the Visitor Information Service will be pleased to help you with a wide range of services and enquiries, including: -Local Accommodation Booking Service for Inspected Properties. -Advice and guidance on what to see and do in the area including details of local attractions, opening times and entrance charges. -Tickets and Discount vouchers for local events and attractions. -Local “Access” information for attractions and the city of Wells. -Public transport details, including train and bus timetables. The Wells Visitor Information Service moved from the Market Place to the Wells Museum at the end of July 2010. |

| BISHOP'S
PALACE This
splendid
medieval palace has been the home of the Bishops
of Bath & Wells for over 800 years. The
first bishop of Bath & Wells received a
crown licence to build a residence and deer park
to the south of the cathedral. There are 14
acres of gardens including the springs from
which the city takes its name. Within the
fortified Palace walls lie the ruin of the Great
Hall, the Bishop’s private chapel and the
gardens with a small arboretum. This uniquely
moated palace has an imposing gatehouse with
portcullis and drawbridge which give the
impression that you may be entering a castle
structure, but inside is a peaceful and tranquil
residence for the visitor to enjoy.

VICARS CLOSE
Vicars' Close next to Wells Cathedral is a stunning medieval cobbled street. It is said to be the oldest continually occupied street in Europe. It was built in 1360s as an extension of the cathedral by Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury. He built the Vicar’s Hall and Close to give the men of the quire secure accommodation away from the temptations of the town. The Close and Cathedral are linked by a bridge. It still houses members of the choir today and has remained unchanged in nearly 700 years. |
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| WELLS CATHEDRAL The present Cathedral in Wells, started in 1180 and largely completed by 1306, is one of the most impressive cathedrals in Britain. It survives with all of the original buildings associated with the cathedral including Vicar’s Close, the Chapter House and Cloisters. It has been discovered from archaeological excavations, that there was a Roman Mausoleum on this site as well as a previous cathedral known as the Anglo-Saxon Minster church of St. Andrew. The foundations of the previous cathedral can be seen in the Camery Gardens just by the cathedral. Wells Cathedral has probably the grandest West Front of any cathedral in Britain. It still retains over 300 of the original medieval statues. Inside the Cathedral are the magnificent Scissor Arches. These were built in the fourteenth century to strengthen and support the heightened central tower. The cathedral clock is unique as it still has its original medieval 24 hour clock face and complicated mechanical figures which move and ring a bell every quarter hour. |

Georgian house in a medieval town at the foot of
the Mendips". Other favourable responses include
Mark Taylor's five-star review for the Bristol

chinks of light in the culinary wilderness and
it's those that make this job so rewarding.The
Bank House Cafe occupies the ground floor of a
stunning Regency house. It feels slightly Bohemian
and almost like a grand old French chateau and, on
the lunchtime I was there, there wasn't a spare
table to be seen. This was a lunch that made me grin
from ear to ear all the way home. Proper food -
cooked with integrity by people who care." The

This really is a nice and impressive tea room of wooden tables with glass tops protecting the tablecloths of beautiful lace design...delightful! With the flag stone flooring and a superb setting, you really just want to drink, eat, talk and relax. With relaxing music and nostalgic pictures of Derrick’s Tea Room this really is a very nice setting right in the heart of Cheddar Gorge visitors area. There is also a quaint little shop in the Tea Room where Derrick’s sell a wide selection of chutneys, preserves, ciders, bone china, loose leaf tea, homemade cakes, clotted cream and of course homemade scones; the scones are like saucers |

| Holly House Tea
Rooms Holly House Tea Rooms, is a tiny little tea room overlooking quite extraordinary views. There are only three double tables, two single tables with seating, which makes getting a table and hit and miss. There was a wood effect style floor covering and creams walls. There is the usual tea room menu; teas: Earl Grey and English, lots of coffee selection and a selection of cold drinks. Panini's, ploughman's, light bites of hot dog rolls, baps, beans on toast as well as sandwiches. There was more of a coffee selection than teas and coffee style wall plaques to reflect this. There was a nice cake display on the rear counter display and a selection of jams and Cheddar china souvenirs |

| Simply Gorgeous
Tea Room This is a small tea room opposite the Cheddar Gorge, surrounded by nice views. Although a tea room, it was strange to see plastic table cloths advertising coffees; Expresso, Mocha, Latte and Cappuccino. There was lots of unusual lights, with lots of bulbs out! There was a large display of items and old style boxes yesteryear; oxo and Dunlop and a lot of memorabilia.Although this is labelled a tea room, I think it is confused. It pays more attention to coffee than tea and perhaps more like a café in the true sense. There was the normal food and drinks on offer and food from the grill. |

Restaurant
at Babington House
If you're into a bit of style and glamour ("it's very media darling!") then you'll love Babington House." "It's worth visiting for the bathrooms alone, which are pretty much the same size as the rooms and full of roll top baths, stainless steel power showers and fluffy white towels." "They have wonderful family suites which mean you can get a decent night's sleep." "The pool and spa area are stunning!", but you don't have to worry about it being stuffy: "the food and service are homely and relaxed." "Of course, none of this comes cheap - but what a treat!" The sales pitch: the opening of Babington House near Frome in 1998 has alerted the Soho House set to the existence of the countryside (Madonna and Guy were regulars). According to Andrew Cronan of FPD Savills in Bath, many of the members have now bought in the area. Locals: Babington House's Nick Jones and Kirsty Young, ICA's Ivan Massow, Peter Gabriel, Midge Ure. |

Talbot
Inn, The
The Talbot is one of those historical gems that you wish you'd found years ago, buried deep in traditional West Country beauty and remote from the troubles of the wider world beyond. As such they are at their best serving traditional English food that derives its attraction from being simple and unfussy, often locally sourced and served with pride. Menu items include smoked salmon tagliatelli, goat's cheese ciabatta, and calf's liver and bacon. Brixham is not that far away so the fish does not have far to travel - I was reminded of Rick Stein asking on a TV programme recently how fresh the sole was, which duly obliged by a dying flap of the tail. Sea bass fillets with saffron and mussel sauce spring to mind. House wine from a strongly French list sells at Ł10.95 and for those who appreciate real ale, Butcombe bitter is on tap. The Talbot is one of those places where the art of making the customer feel relaxed and comfortable is perfected to the point where it all seems completely natural - which it is, but as ever not without considerable skill. |

I don't think there's table service here, though I might be wrong, but whenever I've gone we just order at the counter.

| Bowlish House This incredibly pretty house, recently brought back to life by Darren Carter and Jason Goy, now offers a restaurant with rooms in elegant surroundings. The restaurant, described as 'intimate' in one guide is painted a deep aubergine which possibly prompts a reflection on the famous remark about a leading politician, "something of the night . . . ." The effect is dramatic. The day is split into four periods of eating, with dinner as the main event. Darren offers a two or three course menu, starting with a selection of canapés before going on to, say, starters of smoked haddock on a bed of lemon and ginger risotto, or a warm salad of asparagus with feta and quail's egg. Vegetarians are kept in mind with a delicate Mediterranean tart accompanied by garlic mash and a green pepper crčme frâiche. Breast of duck on coconut noodles with a cherry sauce marks a welcome return to basics and the puddings tend to follow suit with steamed chocolate pudding accompanied by double chocolate ice cream and caramel sauce, and fresh fruit salad with crčme chiboust well up the list. Menus follow the seasons and total freshness is assured. |

Restaurant At Charlton House Hotel Embracing the trend for using leading, organic, local produce in the acclaimed restaurant of his Charlton House Hotel, owner Roger Saul searched high and low to find a head chef who is as passionate about organic produce as he is. Steve Horrell was the man who fitted the bill. Since joining Sharpham Park Restaurant, having previously worked at Babington House, Steve has re-launched the restaurant?s approach to its food and service utilising seasonal, organic and local produce with the likes of Sharpham Park poached organic pears, chicory, dandelion and Exmoor Blue and walnuts. Steve has also incorporated rare breed meats from the Saul?s organic Sharpham Park farm. Rare breed White Park beef, Hebridean and Manx Loghtan sheep, and Red Deer are all specialties on his menu with dishes such as beef carpaccio, spiced beetroot, watercress and horseradish. They also cater for those who experience wheat intolerance with a menu that offers a selection of dishes that replaces wheat with the organically grown Spelt grain, which is farmed locally at Sharpham Park. Steve has created specialties such as roast pumpkin and cinnamon speltotto with chestnuts, crispy sage and Parmesan to tempt those avoiding wheat. |

Highwayman Inn
This historic inn is surrounded by the lush and mysterious countryside of Dartmoor National Park and is renowned as one of Britain's most unusual pubs. The building has a mix of the original stone and wooden structures, with gothic arches, a wooden door from a whaler, a serpent and numerous other antiques, which revive the charm of bygone times. It was originally built as an inn in 1282 and has undergone several transformations since. Formerly owned by Rita and Buster Jones, who ran it with passion for several decades, the establishment is today in the capable hands of their daughter Sally and her husband Bruce. The family takes great pride in catering for different occasions, from intimate dinners to weddings. The Rita Jones, Locker, Lounge and the Snug bars provides a distinct ambience but they are great to relax in over a drink. The inn also has a few rooms for guests wanting to stay over and take a break. While they have lunch and dinnertime fare, Bruce is well known for his breakfast specials.

Food is served all day and our traditional pub menu and daily food offers mean you can be assured of great quality and value at every visit.

Now, the manufacturing arm has moved abroad and the old workshops have been turned into a Clark’s Retail Village offering designer and high street clothes at outlet prices. The town itself is located in a rural area, less than two miles from Glastonbury and only ten minutes from the M5. The Bear Inn's hotel accommodation consists of 24 comfortable and spacious rooms situated either above the pub or in our neighbouring cottages.

| The Lantokay The name of this Wetherspoon pub recalls the town's origin as an ancient settlement, called Lantokay. In time, the name was forgotten, and the settlement was called 'Leigh' and then 'Street'. It was the early Christian settlement, at Glastonbury, which attracted several Celtic saints to this area. It was one such saint who settled on the higher, drier ground above the marshes, where Street Church now stands, and founded Lantokay, the Ilan, or sacred enclosure of Kay. The Street Inn is one of the town's three listed pubs. |

| Street Inn The Street Inn dates back to the 1780’s, and it was most probably a coffee house in times gone by! But it seems to be on track with a healthy future with thanks to the hard work of tenants Ty and Lyndi which run the Enterprise Inn. Ty & Lyndi have been at the Street Inn for 2 ˝ years, Ty explains “It’s been hard work, but we like to feel that the pub is an eclectic, vibrant pub, with a mix of entertainment” “The Street Inn offers nights of Poker, Live music, karaoke & Open Mic nights.” Ty explained that the music consists of soloist, duos, Irish folk groups, (music without Drums!) They serve London Pride, with Head Chef Lyndi providing the food for the pub. Lyndi’s speciality is her Steak specials, i.e steak and a desert for Ł12. A nice 8oz sirloin, courtesy of S&C Taunton Butchers. Lyndi’s other forte is her homemade desserts “try the Bread & Butter pudding I’m told.” The Cauliflower, broccoli and cheese is a firm favourite with vegetarians I’m pleased to say! Ty states that “it is the quality of the food that matters to us,” and they take their time and pride in what they do, and “Were not the fastest, but the freshest.” With an average 20-30 minute wait for your meal, this can be common. So you have been pre-warned, perhaps have another Doombar whilst you’re waiting! |

| Annie's Tea Rooms,
Garden and Gallery CLOSED After five years of hard work, much merriment and lots of cream cakes, John & Annie Deeley, the owners of the award winning 'Annie's Tea Rooms, Garden & Gallery,' in Godney near Wells, have, somewhat reluctantly, decided to hang up the proverbial 'spotty pinny' for the last time.This means they will not be reopening at Easter as originally planned. The Tea Rooms received a lot of recognition from local and national press, not least of which was being included in The Independent newspaper as one of 'The 50 Best Tea Rooms' in the UK and winning the top Taste of the West Gold Award in the Tea Room/Cafe category. As a result they found this put them on a much bigger map than they ever anticipated. People started coming from North Wales, London, Cambridge, in fact, all over the UK, including holiday-makers passing through Somerset on their way to Devon, Cornwall and Dorset, to visit them, in ever increasing numbers.John & Annie ran the Tea Rooms from their home; an old Somerset Dairy Barn, in the small village of Godney on the Somerset Levels. Consequently, they found themselves seriously questioning the practicality and logistics of continuing and decided, after much soul searching, that it would really be best to quit while they they're ahead. In an attempt to avoid any disappointment would be visitors would feel if they were to venture out and find the Tea Rooms no longer open, they are doing everything they can to spread the news of their decision. |

ASK - Wells
For
some
time I made the mistake of thinking that no group of
restaurants in the region of 200 locations could hope
to maintain the quality for which I was looking.Then one day I decided to put my prejudices
to the test, walked into Oxford Ask! and discovered
that I could not have been more mistaken. Their claim
to serve freshly prepared quality food in stylish and
comfortable surroundings with friendly and efficient
service proved to be absolutely spot on. Since then I have also discovered that a
degree of consistency seems to operate throughout
their restaurants, and that certainly does take some
achieving, implying a degree of management that is
enviable. They are perfect places for an impromptu
snack, a bit of culinary grazing, or the full works,
and families are catered for particularly well.

| Britannia Inn Last week the family & I had Sunday lunch at the Brit and were royally looked after by landlord Rob and his friendly team. There was a lovely jovial atmosphere and Rob was on 1st name terms with most of the diners. The option of smaller portions for elder diners was very popular and our boys were delighted to hear that children finishing their main course got pudding free. Portions were generous and reminded me of meals I would have as a child round my great aunts & uncles. I don’t think you will find a more friendly atmosphere across the whole of Wells. |

The Old Spot
I don't
know about Old Spot but certainly the current Hot Spot
in the West Country is at Wells, where Ian Bates, one
time prodigy of Simon Hopkinson, that relatively
unsung hero of the culinary world has set up Old Spot,
to be swamped with rave reviews and predictions of
success.The throwing around of
money is not a characteristic of the good folk of
Wells or its visitors, so pricing has been critical,
producing incredibly good food at incredibly bargain
prices. The whole emphasis is
on dishes that both sound good and also have strong
visual appeal. The lunch menu carries five choices in
starters and mains, with four desserts. Amongst dishes
to delight are a ceviche of organic salmon with
delicately chopped red chilli, some fresh coriander
and a smooth avocado purée, braised shoulder of lamb
that had been slowly cooked over many hours, then
pan-fried as required ensuring the meat has a crisp
caramelised finish.A dessert of
peach trifle laced with pistachios provided a finish
with a flourish. The wine list is the product of Bill
Baker, former child of Avery's, who knew an
opportunity when he saw one, and is already highly
regarded.

Restaurant The seating is on two levels, with a large spiral staircase. Bistro style dining downstairs and more "restauranty" upstairs, although the menu, price and service are the same (classical French with a modern approach). Lunchtime, more so in the winter, classical British dishes are modernised i.e. steamed lamb pudding with a prune and Armagnac jus, minced lamb and leek strudel with onion gravy and mashed potatoes. In the summer, a warm bacon, new potato and wood mushroom salad with a stilton vinaigrette or fillet of fresh ling in herb, breadcrumbs pan-fried with sauce tartare. The dinner menu changes every 8 to 12 weeks, with winter dishes being more robust. In summer lighter dishes and more fish is available. Ritcher's is a small but busy restaurant, trying to keep abreast of the trends in food, sometimes copying, improving or changing ideas from other bigger and more high profile establishments, offering our regular customers and tourists good food at very reasonable prices. |

The seasonal menu is amply supported by regularly changing board specials and the appetisers feature a spread of Thai style fishcakes with rosemary chilli jam and turmeric yogurt, and roasted red pepper and vine tomato soup. Corn-fed supreme of chicken baked over merguez sausages, braised butter beans and sun-dried tomato tapenade could make up the next course, or may be even a slow roasted duck confit. A dessert of strawberry and raspberry cheesecake and pears poached in port and honey could help in rounding things off. |
