Sunday Lunch at The Sheppey Inn

The Sheppey Inn is a thriving and bustling pub in the small village of Lower Godney (God's Isle).

Set amongst the willows, waterways and wildlife of the Somerset Levels,  Godney stands along the banks of the River Sheppey - a few miles to the north the Mendip Hills and Cheddar Gorge, to the west the ridge of the Polden Hills running towards Bridgwater Bay.

Despite being early January, it was a clear, crisp morning, so the four of us decided to cycle there to enjoy a spot of Sunday lunch at the Sheppey Inn. 

The level terrain and stunning landscape made this a most enjoyable experience, however, the real reward was the excellent food, drink and hospitality we knew awaited us at our destination.

There is ample seating space for all the walkers, cyclists and locals from Glastonbury, Street and Wells, to dine Alfresco in the summer.

For starters we all ordered The Sheppey's Spicy Fish Stew - Salmon, Cod, Haddock, Mussles and Tiger Prawns in a rich Lobster Bisque, with Parmesan Cheese and thickly cut bread.  £6.75

Followed by a traditional British Sunday lunch of Roast Beef

Topside of Somerset Beef, Roast Potatoes, homemade Yorkshire Pudding and a selection of vegetables. £10.50

 
This delicious lunch was just what we'd cycled over the levels for.

The Sheppey Inn is an eccentrically decorated, quirky place, stuffed full of old relics from the past. Click on the link to discover more.

The chef and I felt quite at home there!

Oh well, don't get too comfortable, time for the cycle home.

Is that snow outside??

Happy eating!!
