Eating Out

We are often asked to recommend a public house or restaurant and here are some of our personal favourites.

Bengal Spice, Indian Restaurant, 7 Fore Street Williton TA4 4PX Tel:01984 632169 is excellent, a true taste of the East, situated about 2 miles away.

The Royal Oak Inn
About 10 miles away at Luxborough is The Royal Oak Inn which featured in the Daily Telegraph newspaper as Alastair Sawday's personal favourite pub out of 50 great pubs in England and Wales (May 3rd 2008). There is no background music, no fruit machines and no pool table, although they do have a dart board and a quiz league. The head chef, specialises in fish from Cornwall and game shot locally. There are tables set aside for people who want to spend the whole evening dining in an unhurried way. The beer and ciders are local too - TA23 0SH. Tel: 01984 640319
