Sprawling through the rooms of an old village pub, this hugely popular deli-cafe serves sandwiches, salads and massive antipasto platters packed full of top-notch local and imported ingredients. Wash it all down with a craft beer or something from its range of small-estate, organic wine, then browse crates of vinyl records and shelves full of the area's best produce.
Nearby are two self-catering cottages (from £120).
