Places to eat in Glastonbury & Somerset
We are fortunate to be a walk, drive or a nice bike ride from some great Somerset pubs, cafes and restaurants serving fantastic local food. Most of them are independently owned with friendly staff and great chefs. Many are dog friendly and all are child friendly. They are definitely worth the effort to venture out to. Please make sure and phone ahead to check opening time and especially food service times. Unlike the city food often stops around 9pm and a number of pubs do not serve on a Sunday evening.
