It's a nice day for a white wedding... ah, Billy Idol's snarling lips always materialise in my…read morebrain when I'm planning to attend impending nuptials. Well, the weather was very here and there, and the brand new Mr and Mrs P were certainly vigilant when it came to the British climate... August is an unruly month and popping their ceremony in a deliciously decorated room meant everybody was safe. Let me start by getting personal. If anybody is woman-problem squeamish, you might want to look away now, but really, it's not all that bad. You might as well know that when I arrived at this very pretty location, I'd left somewhat essential girl items back at my hotel. Instantly, I panicked. It's no fun being THAT girl at ANY party, as Carrie found out the hard way. My prayers were close to being answered with the machine in the bathroom, but when that was revealed to be empty, I almost cried. Thankfully, long story short, a very understanding female member of bar staff took me into the kitchens and stuffed my handbag full of freebies. Amen to sisterhood. "They were in First Aid?" the brunette quipped when I recounted the story over the phone. "How grim." Indeed. Still, free is free. Anyway, girl-emergency evaded. You can see why Batch Farm is such a popular wedding venue, one look at the website will tell you what they're capable of in terms of highlighting your big day and relatives of the bride and groom who were staying in the hotel itself assured me the accommodation was thoroughly deserving of its four stars. The bar staff were friendly, the venue was pretty spectacular (especially the main room which they'd decked out with canopies and lights like a marquee) and the food was very tasty. The only qualms I had were personal - the creamy lemony sauce that came with the salmon fillet was so sharp and rich it was almost overpowering, and I found a few bones which is a real pet peeve of mine... plus I've never understood that when these places get redecorated and renovated, the swirly, dated carpets remain. It adds far too much of a social club/service station vibe to a luxury environment. But again, the staff were soldiers that day, incredibly tolerant at the end of the night too when swaying guests were slurring about grabbing taxis. Congrats to the happy couple - and I'd certainly recommend this place for a wedding. The grounds especially are exceptionally gorgeous.

Working in the local area and our host brought us here for a warm-up lunch on a recent rainy day…read more We decided to each have soups and then split two different panini sandwiches. The soup of the day was a carrot and coriander concoction. It was rustic, savory and flavorful served with crusty bread for dipping. The coriander gave it a bit of an Indian style to it. Both panini sandwiches we ordered were delicious...the bacon, brie and red currant as well as the cheddar and tomato. They were served with crisps and a small salad. The bread was perfectly pressed and lightly crunchy on the outside with the warm cheese melted just so in each sandwich. We sat right next to the roaring fireplace in the dining room, making for a cozy and comfortable meal. Will definitely return here next time I'm in the area.

I have only been to Fox and Goose once or twice and was not too keen on this pub / restaurant…read more The Fox and Goose is on the main road Bristol Road out of Burnham on Sea and they have a new accommodation complex next to the pub. When I went to the Fox and Goose we ordered food which was served in the bar which was busy and loud and not at all relaxing. I was not impressed by the vegetarian choices on the menu and the prices were quite high so I ended up just having a starter. I think the people I ate with enjoyed their meals. The Fox and Goose isn't too bad but there are other better food pubs in the area.

I LOVED this place! First off, this bed and breakfast REALLY is in a village--the kind you see in…read morethe movies! Harts Lane is so narrow, my partner hesitated pulling our car into the lane and then really had second thoughts about pulling into the tiny parking area. I was too busy loving everything I could see to care about that! Then, we walked into the bed and breakfast, where an out-of-breath Linda Smith greeted us warmly and apologized for not being ready. We didn't mind. After all, there were TWO pubs in one TINY village! ;) When we returned from our obligatory pub visit, Linda led us upstairs and to our room. Do you know how sometimes places look clean but don't smell clean? This clean room smelled GREAT! Then, I went into the bathroom. It was completely remodeled and very modern. I was in heaven! A quaint, clean bedroom with a clean modern shower! There was even a place for me to sit down in the bedroom and put on my makeup. I decided to use it for sitting down and reading a daily devotional, but just having this wonderful space was a plus. Did I mention there was a fireplace? The next morning, Linda cooked us "whatever we wanted." My partner happily ordered sausage and eggs, and I ordered bacon and eggs. While we waited, I looked around the family dining room. There were wonderful family pictures--Linda and Ian Smith's wedding pictures, their children, etc. My partner meanwhile marveled at his freshly squeezed orange juice and some of the woodwork in the room. Then, the food came. The bacon was the size of 4 American slices stuck together but a lot thicker. Everything was delicious, but after we ate, we felt like we needed a nap! If you go to this area of England, stay here! The Smiths are very congenial people, their accommodations are clean, their food is outstanding, and the village is picturesque. You'll swear you're in a movie.
