Margot Henderson of Rochelle Canteen brought her London following to a 17th-century Somerset pub tucked between the village church and the hall. Beamed ceilings, flagstone floors, and open fires set the scene for a daily-changing menu that leans hard on local produce, the kind of cooking that makes cottage pie feel like a considered choice. Ranked 14th on the Top 50 Gastropubs list, it draws visitors who book the five antique-furnished rooms upstairs and stay longer than they planned.
