I am yet to walk passed Briar and not see someone I recognise seated at a table! Since opening the doors, not even two years ago, this beautiful restaurant is hot on the lips of locals and visitors to Bruton. Housed in No.1, a Georgian townhouse hotel, Briar is a Michelin Gourmand restaurant, recognised for exceptional food that does not break the bank.
Chef Sam Lomas is warm, generous and unassuming. With an amazing background working at River Cottage and Glebe House, he has brought his passion for old school craft cooking, and his appreciation for what the season’s bring us, to Briar. With a small team working besides him, he talks about them being the backbone to the business and we share in talking how food brings an indescribable connection to our lives.
