Teals is a relaxing spot to share a meal with friends or discover exceptional, locally produced meat and a food market full of local produce, daily breads and pastries, heritage cheeses and thoughtful gifts, sustainably made. We want as much Somerset goodness as possible on our plates and in our food market and lifestyle store! We avoid mass food production, instead joining the many brilliant farm shops around the country focusing their energies on finding local products that make the most of our tastebuds.

At South Street Honey our primary aim is to educate and spread the passion of bees and beekeeping to the wider world. We visit wild schools, forest schools, schools in both primary and secondary, and have adult education days as well. We have a holistic approach to keeping bees, only opening hives when we really need to and, more importantly, only taking resources when the bees have surplus.

The Acorn is a cafe/bistro with a small deli. We believe in simple, quality food and drink and love to celebrate the great local produce which surrounds us in the Westcountry.

We are a modern, veg-led, sharing plates restaurant in the heart of Wells, serving local and seasonal produce. The first Root opened in Bristol in 2017; owners Josh Eggleton (The Pony) and Luke Hasell (The Story Farms / Valleyfest) wanted to create a forward-thinking restaurant that championed local suppliers and producers, and led with a ‘more veg, less meat’ ethos. Root, Wells was opened by Head Chef Rob Howell and his wife and Manager Meg Oakley who wanted to bring a neighbourhood restaurant to their home of Wells.

Winemakers Guy Smith and Laura Evans produce award-winning sparkling and natural wines, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, from the heart of Somerset.
