The Rodney Stoke Inn

If you’ve spent a day exploring Cheddar Gorge, Wells or Wookey Hole Caves and are in need of refreshment, take a drive to The Rodney Stoke Inn, which boasts a campsite for those wishing to stay overnight. The à la carte and specials board offer plenty to satisfy hungry guests, including everything from tapas dishes and sandwiches to fare from the sea, oven and grill. I devoured moreish sticky barbecue ribs to start, while my partner sampled delicate melon and full-flavoured serrano ham. The lamb shank that followed was beautifully tender and pink – just as it should be. This is a great place for families; kids will have great fun roaming around the gardens and play area before tucking into something from their own dedicated menu. This inn is a wonderful find – the team here not only serves excellent food and drink as standard, but can expertly cater for special occasions too.
