Woods: An Award-Winning Pub & Restaurant
Why Simon and I love it: Although a bit of a treck to get there (its in the middle of Exmoor it is worth it) as the food is wonderful it is mainly grown and sourced from the owners farm which is a couple of miles down the road but we also love the creativity that the owner has shown in converting a very old building so beautifully and the feel and ambiance is wonderful.
For those seeking a blend of rustic charm and continental flair, Woods Bar and Restaurant is the perfect destination. This award-winning pub and restaurant offers a delightful dining experience, from its hand-built interior to its continentally inspired menu. The warm and inviting atmosphere sets the stage for a memorable meal, where traditional English dishes are elevated with a modern twist.
