Quality ingredients put to good effect.At the more formal Charlton House Restaurant our talented chefs invite you to sit down and taste the very best Somerset has to offer. Salmon fresh out the Severn and lamb reared amongst the Mendip Hills is certain to impress. We leave it to good quality, locally sourced ingredients to elevate the flavour profile of our bistro menu.
Steeped in history, The Lion dates back about 500 years, and was built when King Charles I was on the British throne and even before the famous Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Originally constructed as a house, for centuries the quirky building has been welcoming visitors as a traditional British pub. With its low ceilings, exposed beams and homely inglenook fireplaces, it has all the charm of what you expect from a historic pub and restaurant. Listed as one of the Britain’s most important buildings, this is a slice of history set right in the heart of the Somerset countryside in a popular English village. The characterful and homely rooms offer a comfortable stay for those wanting to holiday or spend a night or two in this stunning part of the UK. We’re also dog lovers, so your well behaved pooches will get a warm welcome.If you are looking to make a booking for more than 6 people, please contact us directly on 01458 832941
