Just off the A303 in the Wiltshire town of Mere, The Brush & Broom Restaurant is one of those places that feels like a welcome pause in the day. Set within the Hillbrush site at Norwood Park, it’s perfectly positioned for both locals and travellers, especially those exploring nearby attractions such as Stourhead, Longleat Safari Park, or even the ancient stones of Stonehenge. With ample parking, easy access and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s an inviting stop whether you’re on a long journey or simply out for a leisurely lunch.
Inside, the space is bright, modern and family-friendly, with a warm welcome extended to dogs as well. The team emphasises accessibility and ease, making it a great choice for groups, families and solo diners alike. The restaurant’s connection to Hillbrush adds a unique twist: after your meal, you can wander through the on-site museum and interactive brush-making exhibition, a quirky slice of local history dating back to 1922.
The restaurant champions Dorset and Wiltshire produce, with menus built around seasonal ingredients and a touch of 'chef’s magic' that keeps dishes comforting yet interesting. Expect everything from hearty classics - like day-boat beer-battered Cornish fish, the signature B&B steak, or a generous vegan burger - to lighter options such as Buddha bowls, fresh salads and homemade cakes. There’s also a takeaway counter for those on the move, and the coffee is proudly sourced from Eco Roast, making it a popular morning stop.
Surrounded by rolling countryside and close to some of Wiltshire’s most visited landmarks, The Brush & Broom offers a relaxed, good-value dining experience rooted in local flavours and genuine hospitality. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in comfortably - whether for a quick coffee or a long, chatty lunch.
