The Litton in Cameley: Seasonal British Cuisine and a Rosette

A Seasonal Kitchen

The Litton sits quietly in the Somerset village of Cameley, serving a seasonal British cuisine that draws on European influences. The culinary team builds menus around local produce, ensuring every plate carries a low carbon footprint. This commitment to straightforward cooking earned the restaurant a single AA Rosette for culinary excellence. Locally sourced meat is roasted to perfection alongside daily specials that reflect the chefs’ travels abroad.

The Garden and Rooms

Sunlight falls across expansive terraces where guests watch the rolling hills stretch into the distance. The historic building preserves its heritage through high ceilings and exposed wooden beams throughout the dining areas. Owner Sally cultivated a relaxed environment where staff anticipate needs without interrupting conversation. Bespoke en-suite rooms continue this vintage aesthetic, offering quiet retreats after evening meals.

Drinks and Finishing Touches

The beverage programme features hand-crafted cocktails and a curated selection of regional wines and ales. Non-drinkers can order from a dedicated list of alcohol-free preparations. After dinner, plates arrive with homemade puddings and scoops of local ice cream. Regular visitors frequently mention the melted cheese baguette, which relies on onion pickle and chilli jam rather than heavy sauces.
