Walk and a Roast series: Episode 2 - Burrow Mump | The White Hart…

A short drive from The White Hart brings you to Burrow Mump and a walk through the history and wide-open landscape of the Somerset Levels. Follow the flat riverbanks towards Athelney, the marshy refuge where King Alfred the Great hid from the Vikings, before tackling the short, steep climb to the ruined 18th-century church at the top of Burrow Mump. Take in the views, then head back to The White Hart and get cosy.

Oh, and by the way. Every Sunday lunch comes with unlimited roast potatoes and gravy.

There are two types of autumn walk.

The one where you stride purposefully across the countryside, admiring the views. And the one that’s really just an elaborate way of earning a drink by the fire.

We’re very happy with either.

Muddy boots, dogs, cold noses and windswept hair all welcome. Find a cosy corner, order something warming and settle in.

Going back out is entirely optional.

As the clocks go back, Meantime begins.

The worst possible response to the changing clocks is to surrender to the sofa and start counting the days until March. A far better plan? Go somewhere warm, listen to somebody interesting and form an opinion over dinner.

Meantime returns to At the Chapel in Bruton this October, bringing together writers, artists, thinkers and people with extraordinary stories to tell.

Coming up this autumn:

28 October - Explorer Charlie Walker on his Siberian adventure, On Thin Ice.

29 October - Stained-glass artist and sculptor Edgar Phillips on a life spent working with light, colour and glass.

5 November – Novelist Alex Hyde discusses Exhibition, Radio 4’s Book at Bedtime.

12 November - Emily Haworth-Booth explores desire and motherhood in her award-winning debut novel, Mare.

19 November - Author and photographer David R Abram takes us on a journey into Britain’s prehistoric past.

26 November - Bestselling author Milli Hill challenges what we think we know about the female body in The Body Myth.

Good conversation, interesting company and plenty of reasons to venture out after dark.

Explore Meantime and book your place via At the Chapel’s website.

This weekend saw another special birthday at Stay Original.

Ten years of lunches that lingered, drinks that turned into dinner, Sunday roasts, sunny afternoons in the courtyard and plenty of good times in between.

A lot has happened since we first opened the doors in Shaftesbury, but the important things haven’t changed: good food, generous hospitality and a brilliant team making everyone feel at home.

So a very happy birthday to The Grosvenor - and a huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of it.

Ten years down. Plenty more fun to come.

Keep an eye on The Grosvenor Arms, Shaftesbury’s socials to see how they’re celebrating.

It might start with coffee. Then there’s lunch. Maybe a drink. Dinner seems like a good idea. And, well, there are rooms upstairs…

Come for an hour, an evening or a few days.

Drop in, settle down, stay over.

Good food, good drinks, comfy beds and a warm welcome. However long you’re here.

Walk and a Roast series: Episode 1 - The Strawberry Line | The Swan

Crunching leaves, c***r country and a trail through the Somerset countryside. The old Strawberry Line follows a mostly traffic-free route from Yatton towards Cheddar, winding through orchards, wetlands and pretty villages including Congresbury, Sandford, Winscombe and medieval Axbridge – even passing through an original railway tunnel beneath the Mendips.

Afterwards, head back to The Swan for a well-earned drink and something delicious.

Oh, and by the way. Every Sunday lunch comes with unlimited roast potatoes and gravy.

Some lovely news to share…

Timbrell’s Yard has been included in the MICHELIN Guide 2026 hotel selection.

It also happens to come just a few weeks after new GM, Abi, joined them from The Grosvenor Arms in Shaftesbury. Not a bad start, Abi!

We’re incredibly proud of our team and our little corner of Bradford on Avon.

Definitely one worth raising a glass to.

Steak. Fries. No notes.

Hello, autumn. We’ve missed you.

Today marks the official start of the season, so we’re taking that as permission to fully embrace Sunday roasts, roaring fires, muddy country walks, pints at the bar and puddings that definitely require custard.

Summer was lovely.

But this is much more our thing.

21/09/2026

Good news for your kitchen cupboards: the Stay Original Pantry is growing.

In other words, some more of our favourite things will soon be yours to take home.

Keep an eye out 👀
