about us

Run by husband and wife team, Alasdair Clifford and Victoria Collins, The Barrington Boar is a country pub and restaurant with rooms, offering Modern British cooking and refined comfort food in the heart of the South Somerset countryside. Situated in the picturesque village of Barrington, nestled between Langport and Ilminster, and close to Taunton and Yeovil, this much-loved pub’s origins date back to the 18th century.

Victoria and Alasdair fell in love with the tranquil village of Barrington instantly after many months searching around Somerset, Devon and Dorset for a pub they could make their own.

At the helm of The Barrington Boar kitchen is chef-patron Alasdair Clifford, who grew up locally on Exmoor in Somerset. Alasdair spent ten years learning his craft in London, working at Bruce Poole’s Michelin starred Modern French restaurant Chez Bruce, The Harwood Arms & The Glasshouse.

Victoria has a background in theatre design & hospitality, having worked front of house with Sarah and Eric Guignard at their critically acclaimed neighbourhood restaurant, The French Table in Surbiton. With a keen eye for design and experience of delivering great customer service, Victoria ensures guests are met with a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
