Roth Bar

Nestled in the heart of Bruton, Somerset, Roth Bar & Grill is a delightful fusion of culinary artistry and contemporary culture. This isn’t just a pit stop; it’s a destination where farm-to-table dining meets avant-garde art installations.

The menu is a testament to seasonal British produce, with many ingredients sourced directly from their own Durslade Farm. Dishes like the Durslade Farm stew with herb dumplings and the marinated beetroot salad with oat labneh showcase the freshness and quality of their ingredients. For those with a penchant for indulgence, the Swiss cheese fondue, accompanied by sourdough and steamed potatoes, is a must-try.

Cocktail enthusiasts will appreciate the inventive concoctions inspired by the South West, such as the Bacchus—a blend of Black Cow Vodka, Lillet Blanc, and Maid of Bruton Bacchus Wine. Their selection of local beers and ciders further complements the dining experience.

The ambiance is enriched by the bar itself, a functional art piece crafted by artist Oddur Roth, grandson of the renowned Dieter Roth. The space seamlessly integrates salvaged materials, creating an environment that’s both rustic and contemporary.

Given its popularity, especially during weekends and events, it’s advisable to arrive early to secure a spot. The fully covered courtyard ‘orangerie’ provides additional seating and exudes a lively, informal atmosphere.
