ANDREW WATMUFF

Half of the pair behind local meal pot biz Watmuff and Beckett, this entrepreneur knows how to eat his way around Frome… Breakfast? John Thorner’s The Den in Pylle does a great breakfast using its own sausages, black pudding and bacon. If you go for ‛The Den Ultimate’, don’t organise to have lunch that day. Best brew? It has to be Earl Grey from the tea experts at Moo and Two on Catherine’s Hill, Frome. Euan and the team import their own tea from small, single-estate growers and have an amazing eye (or palate!) for detail. Favourite grocery shop? White Row Farm Shop. A great example of how a farm shop with local and regional produce can work as well as a supermarket for the big shop. Grab a trolley and fill it with fresh local veg. Oh, and some Watmuff and Beckett soup! Best wine merchant? Beckford Bottle Shop in Bath has a great range of expensive and sought-after vintages, but if you’re after a bargain, it does a house Pinot Noir which is delicious – and only £9.50! Sunday lunch? The Talbot Inn in Mells serves a great roast. If we have some autumn sun you can enjoy it in the courtyard outside, otherwise there’s usually a log fire going indoors. Belting burger? On a Friday lunchtime The Refectory Café in The Old Church School, Butts Hill does a great burger with homemade potato wedges. The café is located within a buzzing co-working office, but it’s open to the public too. Quick pint? Palmer Street Bottle is a favourite of mine. Enjoy a pint while you decide what to take home from the wide selection of beers and ciders. Cheeky cocktail? I have been going to Sub 13 in Edgar Buildings for years. The team always look after my cocktail needs. I can highly recommend their Whiskey Sour; it’s not on the menu but ask for it, it’s a classic. Food on the go? Nook in King Street, Frome is an Australian-style juice and bowl bar. The team create and blend noodle salad bowls and cold press juices to take away, so it’s great for a light lunch on the run. With friends? A strong Italian coffee and a doorstep bacon sandwich at Café La Strada is a great way to start the weekend, and a good place to catch up with friends. Pet-friendly? After our regular 20 minute walk, Agnes my French bulldog and I regularly visit the four-legged friendly Three Swans pub in Frome for a Guinness and a bowl of water. On the hit list? The Newt in Somerset – it’s an immaculate country estate with bakery, restaurant and gardens. watmuffandbeckett.co.uk
