Shopping and Eating

Wedmore has a great range of excellent food and other shops:

  • Wedmore Village Stores – well supplied local store
  • Hectors Butcher – Traditional butchers with local deli range.
  • Pumpkin – Deli and café
  • Pisces Fishmonger and Greengrocer
  • Gifted Company – gift shop
  • Post Office

Large supermarkets – the closest of these is in Wells where you will find Waitrose, Morrisons, Tesco and Lidl. Sainsbury’s is in Street or Cheddar (small one).

Wells has an excellent market on Weds and Saturdays with a wide range of foodie delicacies. At the moment the market square is closed to traffic, and the pubs, cafés and restaurants have spilled out on the square – good atmosphere, especially in Summer! Wells High Street has also got a great range of shops and stores.

Clarks Village in Street – Outside village mall, some 90 stores and food outlets.

  • Wells – lots of choice. Loads of coffee shops, street food on market days (Weds and Sat). Quality restaurants – We like the Good Earth (though it can get busy!) and also Goodfellows. Also a good choice is Root, a Michelin listed, veg-led, sharing plates restaurant.

More food delights:

  • Wookey Farm – Goats milk and range of cheeses. Goat meat, and other free range meat. . Wookey, BA5 1DT, but go to their website for directions, your satnav may take you down a treacherous ford!
  • Middlewick Cafe, Glastonbury – Café and good quality farm shop. Good to cycle there, or just great for a morning Brunch. Good place for a walk up Glastonbury Tor, though can be a muddy route in winter.
  • Coombes Micro Dairy – Fresh full fat milk, range of other local foods, New Grove Farm, Blackford, BS28 4NH. @coombesmicrodairy on Facebook
  • Lands End Farm, Wilkins Cider – 500 yards down the lane to the east. Roger Wilkins is a legend – look him up on YouTube, and his cheese (Stilton and Cheddar – Extra is best, but strong) is fantastic. Sit in the sun and try some of the cider as well.
