Just beyond our pub…

A short wander from our front door takes you through the heart of Barrington, past the village church and on towards beautiful Barrington Court. Quiet lanes, old Somerset buildings, open countryside and one of the area’s loveliest National Trust properties, all within an easy stroll.

Barrington is a place best discovered slowly, one path at a time.

Three ways to stay with us in Barrington.

Choose from our beautifully renovated rooms at Baker’s Farm, our self-catering holiday lets, or our B&B rooms at The Barrington Boar itself. Each offers something a little different, whether you’re looking for a cosy overnight stay, a longer countryside escape or a little more space and independence.

Something special is ripening

Something rather lovely has been growing quietly in the market garden. Our Charentais melons are ready for harvest, and are making their way from our garden to the kitchen.

A little taste of summer, grown right here.

Autumn light rather suits The Boar.

That low afternoon sun coming through the windows, warm corners, a table by the fire and the pub feeling just that little bit cosier.

The pub has been looking rather lovely this summer.

The grass in the garden might not have survived quite as well as we’d hoped, thanks to all that sunshine, but the lavender certainly kept the bees happy. Blue skies, warm evenings, buzzing borders and plenty of time spent outside, summer at The Barrington Boar has been a good one.

Sunday Suppers at The Boar.

A long walk, a little exploring around Barrington Court, perhaps a pint in the afternoon… and then back to us for supper from 6pm. Relaxed plates, a glass of w**e, good company and an easy end to the weekend.

No rush. No fuss. Just a lovely Sunday evening in Barrington.

More than a pretty flower

The cosmos in our market garden provide far more than just their beauty. They provide food and shelter for pollinators, bringing a little more life into the garden and helping create the healthy ecosystem we want to grow around our crops.

A good market garden should have room for flowers too.

The leaves are beginning to turn, the evenings are drawing in, and suddenly Sunday roast season feels very much upon us.

They may never have left the menu, but there is something about the first hint of autumn that makes a proper Sunday roast all the more tempting.

We highly recommend booking ahead, and don’t forget, Sunday Suppers are also served from 6pm.

As you all know, the weather has been unbelievably hot this summer, and we can’t even begin to tell you what it has been like working in the kitchen through some of those temperatures.

Behind every plate that leaves is a team working incredibly hard in conditions that have, at times, been pretty relentless.

Through the heat, the busy services and the long days, our kitchen team have just kept going, cooking, prepping, supporting one another and making sure every dish goes out as it should.

A huge thank you for your hard work, resilience, good humour and continued support. We really couldn’t do what we do without you.
