For information about eating out in the Heart of Somerset, please visit our Eating Out pages (external link) where you will find a selection of eateries to suit all tastes.
Somerset, literally translated means 'Land of the Summer People' and it is a county which has been famous for centuries for its fruits of the land. Somerset is the home of Cheddar Cheese and Somerset Apple Orchards and the infamous cider, from the tiny orchards making farmhouse 'scrumpy' (a very potent local brew) to the large commercial operations producing a smooth refined drink which is increasing in popularity throughout the U.K. and overseas.
There has always been a strong association between Somerset and apples. There is even an Apple Brandy produced in the county called Somerset Royal which further strengthens this link. Many of the orchards are attractions in their own right so make a little time to explore.
