The Halfway House
A proper country pub in Pitney — homemade meals, cellar ales and cider, and one of the pubs on our walking routes, so you can arrive on foot. Put a group table in hand before you set off, especially at weekends.

Pubs, cafés & eating out

Kitchens and opening hours shift with the season, so it’s worth ringing ahead before you set out with a full table. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll point you at what’s open.
Plan your visit
The Devonshire Arms
The village inn on Long Sutton green, a short stroll from the gate, with a restaurant and a courtyard terrace for warm evenings. Give them your numbers and any dietary needs when you book.
The Lime Kiln
Seasonal menus and the pub classics you’d hope for. Worth asking about vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and children’s choices, and whether the whole group can be sat together.
Upton Bridge Farm Shop Tea Room (Next Door)
The tea room at the farm shop on the doorstep does breakfast, light lunches and cakes — an easy first stop on arrival day. The catering kitchen linked below also takes orders for celebration cakes.
The Firehouse
A village pub in Curry Rivel known for its pizzas, with plenty else on the menu. They also do collection-only takeaway — worth a call to check what’s on and when.

A Langport café worth the short drive for bread, pastries and a proper breakfast or lunch. If you’re heading over as a large group, check the menu and how much room they have first.
Kingsdon Inn
A thatched village pub with a fireplace in winter and a beer garden in summer. Put a group table in hand, and check when the kitchen is serving before you make the trip.
The Barrington Boar
A Barrington restaurant cooking with whatever Somerset suppliers have at their best. Ask what’s on the menu and whether they can take your group.

Italian in Somerton, for the night everyone votes for pasta. Browse the linked menu and give them a ring about a table for the group.
