Where to Eat

Whilst there are some good restaurants in Weston Super Mare, Clevedon and Portishead, many people looking for a bite to eat choose to frequent the local public houses. Pubs often offer the best examples of traditional English cuisine and steaks, pies, ploughman's lunches, jacket potatoes, salads, and good old 'bangers and mash' (sausages and mashed potatoes with gravy) are amongst the most popular eats.

On Sunday, both pubs and restaurants in the Weston Super Mare area try to capitalise on this lucrative market and buffet-style carveries often draw large crowds. With a choice of pork, beef and turkey, together with a spread of vegetables and roast potatoes, Sunday carveries appeal to both locals and visiting tourists alike and many restaurants allow you to eat as much as you like, for no extra charge
