Old Cider House Food

At the Old Cider House we pride ourselves on our food. We know that our guests are discerning and demand good quality, home made meals at a reasonable price. We are not chefs - just like cooking good meals for friends.

We use, wherever possible, local and organic produce - some from our garden. Our eggs come from our own chickens, and we have had recent new arrivals, or local free-range suppliers. Our meat from the village butcher – Fauns and other local farm suppliers. Dairy produce from our local dairy and Yeo Valley organic creamery.

We bake our own bread, make our own jam, marmalade and chutneys and even brew our own beer (see www.stoweybrewery.co.uk).

We are a small establishment and it is very helpful if we know if guests are dining in advance. Please let us know when booking if you are likely to want to eat with us. Thank you.

We offer a number of menus throughout the week:

Monday - Thursday: Good standard fare (with a twist). Our cottage pie cooked in red wine with a potato, leek and West Country Cheddar topping and Somerset cassoutlet (local pork, spicy sausage, duck and white beans served simply with a hunk of homemade country style bread are favourites. (2 courses £14.50, 3 courses £18.50)

Fridays: More of an international evening with recipes from around the World. We like cooking Spanish, Italian, Indian and Thai.(3 courses £18.50)

Saturdays: Our special night with a tasting menu celebrating the wealth of foods from Somerset. This is a multi-course menu (usually 6 - 10 dishes) served tapas or meze style (i.e. a little taste of each) Free cocktail or beer included. (£19.50) This is subject to demand and numbers

Sundays: A traditional 3 course roast dinner (£17.50)

Breakfasts are leisurely affairs with Old English sausages and bacon from our local butcher, eggs from our chickens, specials as the mood takes us and occasionally a bowl of ‘furmity’ – a Wessex creation with oats, sugar, rum, raisins and cream.
