Montague Inn

This little Somerset gem is so hidden away in a twist of country lanes that you'll be glad you invested in that new sat nav. Inside is as simple as can be: one room for drinking regional ales from Bath Ales or Blindmans Brewery, & one for eating. This is how traditional pub food should always taste: sound culinary skills applied to lush ingredients from nearby farms – the quality is ‘stunning’. Menus change regularly according to what’s available but may well include salad of bacon, avocado, Exmoor Blue cheese & soft poached egg, a hearty plate of slow-cooked belly pork with a Parmesan crust, vine tomato & olive compote & aubergine tempura, & pecan, walnut & chocolate pastry for afters. Check the specials board for impressive fish dishes & daily changing pub classics.
