The Blackbrook
Tavern
is to be found 500 yards from
Junction 25 of the M5 on the A358 Ilminster Road at Ruishton.
Apart from being only a few miles from Taunton with its historic castle
and museum, other local attractions are Cricket St Thomas, half an
hour's
drive and the Crealy Adventure Park, 45 minutes drive away. Built into
the hill, this ivy covered Inn dates back to the 18th Century.
Fully refurbished to a high standard in June 2008, we have a new contemporary
look with a neutral toned colour scheme of beiges and browns. The
restaurant has been extended and opened up to create more of an airy,
open space with attractive plants around. There are now upper and lower
restaurant areas, with a total of 250 covers, as well as a small seating
area to enjoy just a drink or a cup of coffee. This busy destination
food house offers quality food served from our daily carvery or extensive
table menu, giving a wide variety of dishes, all of which are freshly
prepared in-house and cooked to order. Meat used is all 'red
tractor certified' and farm assured and we try to source our produce
locally. Outdoors has been given a spruce up as well, with fresh
paint. The beer garden offers a retreat during the summer months and
has a play area for our younger visitors to use up some of their energy. Covered
areas with giant umbrellas and a pagoda, both have heating and lighting,
so can be used all year round. This
pretty venue is one to put on your 'must try soon' list and worth
travelling a little out of your way to find. We would love to see you soon.
