Local Pubs & Restaurants
Pubs
Within 10-15 minutes drive
The Blue Flame, West End, Nailsea, 01275 856910. Nice drive or cycle ride across the moors. Proper old-fashioned drinking pub (décor reflects this!). Phil recommends the Bass and we like the locally produced Thatchers cider but, be warned – it goes straight to your knees! Nice beer garden on a sunny day and occasional live music on a Sunday lunchtime. They sometimes do filled rolls but no other food.
The Salthouse, Seafront, Clevedon, 01275 343303. Super location overlooking the sea with large outdoor seating area with patio heaters. Varied menu available and probably worth a visit for the view alone.
