Great classic cooking run by Tim and Emma Ford and is 1 mile away from the Gardeners Cottage. Wonderful for lunch in the garden on a hot summers day. Always reminds me of France!

A large selection of pubs and restaurants to choose from in Sherborne. The Green, The Plume of Feathers, The Eastbury Hotel are just a few. Just a lovely small town to soak up and enjoy. Don't forget to go in the abbey and visit the two castles. Wonderful Capability Brown lake and gardens at the 'New Castle' so great for walking too.
