EAT AND DRINK IN PORLOCK VALE

Finding somewhere to eat and drink is no problem in Porlock Vale although making a decision on where to go might be a bit harder.

Discover delicious cream teas with scones dripping with jam and cream, enjoy a slice of homemade cake or find a savoury delight in one of the many tea shops across the Vale.

Settle in for a pint or glass of wine and a home-cooked meal at a pub with a cosy fire in the winter and beer garden to soak up the sun in the summer or choose to dine in one of the many restaurants in the Vale.

There are takeaway options day and night too if you prefer to pack up a picnic for the day or dine in at night.
