The combination of the vibrant green peas with the aromatic hint of mint created a perfect balance of flavours to complemented the fish and chips.

The Somerford Arms exudes a charming and cosy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and contributed to a very pleasant dining experience.

With its emphasis on fresh fish, minty peas, and crispy chips, the establishment delivers a satisfying meal that captures the essence of traditional British cuisine.
