Exmoor Food and Drink around Weatherham Farm

Exmoor produces fine quality naturally produced food and drink: it has its own vineyard and there are two real ale breweries, very close to Exmoor: "Exmoor Ales" and "Cotleigh", both at Wiviliscombe. Our self-catering cottages give you flexibility to choose between preparing your own meals from local produce and eating out. Dulverton, 4 miles away, is a good shopping centre -- excellent butcher, and at Exebridge we are fortunate to have a smokery for excellent smoked food; fish and some smoked meat: (it also offers mail order hampers):

We have superb meat, especially lamb and beef from non-intensive grass based production and game in season. On, and around, Exmoor there are some local cheesemakers, cider is produced in the Vale of Taunton and there are the two local real ale breweries. When you eat out, you are likely to be enjoying local produce, some of which is organic.

We take an interest in local food and produce and can provide further infomation. You don't have to come to Exmoor armed with bags of supermarket food!

There are a number of good pubs and restuarants within easy reach of us, including our own local, "The George", one mile away in the village, (a pleasant strole in light evenings!) - good cooking; and, as shown left, it has a various live music evenings; dog friendly. A selection of "places to eat", about which we have some knowledge, is listed below, with the focus on evening meals. Many also serve lunches and Sunday roasts and Exmoor is of course famous for its cream teas.
