The village of Stoke St. Gregory is home to family-run The Rose and Crown. Whether you are staying here overnight or dropping in for a meal, you will experience the way it effortlessly straddles the line between traditional charm and contemporary efficiency. Run by the Browning family since 1979, a sympathetic restoration has restored the pub to its original character after it was ravaged by fire. Accommodation includes three double rooms and a family suite, all with en-suite and tea-making facilities.

Enjoy a traditional English breakfast, lunch or dinner here. The lunchtime main course selection includes beer battered haddock deep fried in beef dripping, grilled lamb's liver with bacon and onion gravy and stilton and mushroom vol-au-vent. Withyman's Lunch has salad with house dressing and fresh granary bread with choice of mature English cheddar, stilton, local ham, roast beef or Somerset brie. The à la carte dinner menu lists smoked duck breast salad, mussels in a local cider, cream and garlic sauce, choice of steaks, roasted West Country lamb rump and creamy vegetable stroganoff. End with a cheese platter or just coffee and mints. A choice of draught ales enhances the pleasure.
