A former bakery spread across two floors, Walcot House is a destination restaurant and one of our absolute favourites. Always a great atmosphere and offers simple, wholesome and flavour led food using only the best local ingredients. You could stop in at Bread & Jam an intimate and fun table service cocktail bar set in the arches beneath the restaurant and Dilly Bar. Or if you fancy a late night drink and a dance, Club Lomah is next door – there is lots on offer at Walcot House!
