A warm welcome, excellent food & a deep connection with Somerset’s rich culinary heritage
The Barrington Boar’s kitchen is run by Chef Alasdair Clifford who grew up locally & has over ten years experience working in Michelin-starred restaurants including Chez Bruce & The Glasshouse.
We are proud to be featured in the Top 50 Gastropubs (#35), MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2023, Harden’s Guide & Trencherman’s Guide.
We are passionate about the provenance of our food & source the majority of our produce from the farmers, foragers, brewers & cheesemongers living within a few miles of the restaurant.
Please inform us of any allergies when booking, we will attempt to accommodate any dietary requirements. Last minute booking with difficult allergies may not be able to be accommodated, it is always best to check with us before booking.
Our Menus
Our Lunch & Evening a la carte menus evolve with the seasons & are available during the week (Wed - Sun)
Our Menu of the Day (2 courses - £30, 3 courses - £36) is available at lunch (Wed - Sat) & Dinner Wednesday & Thursday. The final service for our Menu of the day 2025 will be lunch, Saturday 6th December. Resuming again in January 2026.
We also offer Sunday Roasts which were recommended by The Times as one of their Best 30 places for a pub lunch in the UK & one of Britain’s best places for a Sunday Roast.
Children’s Food At The Barrington Boar
Wednesday–Sunday at lunchtime we offer a children’s menu, and in the evenings we welcome only diners aged 8 and up. To make our evenings menu more inviting for older kids, we’ve launched a special Over‑8s Under‑16s menu.
We want to encourage over 8’s to start enjoying dining experiences, gathering with family & friends & sharing good food & great company in a grown up environment. The menu will be based on our locally sourced, seasonal a la carte menu, simplified to make it more accessible for 8-16 year olds.
The sample menu below may be different from what is available on the day but it will give an idea of style of what you are offering to our younger diners.
