Somerset Cottage Restaurant first opened in 1986, and continues to be run by Rick Lowe in the kitchen and myself, Anne Butcher out front, along with a team of special people who’ve been here with us for a while.

The restaurant is open for lunches Wednesday to Friday and dinner every night except Mondays.

In addition we run cookschools from our restaurant kitchen, together with the occasional more epic excursion, further afield.

And we also have Somerset@Home – an online shop for a whole variety of product -  stuff that we consider to be necessities in our culinary lives.

This website has been designed to open up our world a little to you – I write a regular blog which can be read via the website, plus there is a monthly newsletter which you can sign up for if you’re interested in getting the cookschool schedule when it is first published, or being informed of any Winemakers Dinners or other events of interest that we may have coming up at the restaurant.

We hope you enjoy!
