Posted on: 07 Mar 2018Mothering Sunday, the one day a year solely dedicated to the special women in our lives. For many of you wondering what to do, why not consider visiting a warm and inviting country pub for a delicious, heart-warming lunch!
We’ve done the hard work for you and have put together all the best country pubs around Bristol to take your Ma to this weekend.
The Bull Inn resides in the peaceful village of Hinton which lies only 20 minutes from the centres of both Bath and Bristol and less than 5 minutes away from Junction 18 of the M4. The ancient stone built building dates back to the 17th century. In its time, it has been an Inn, a farm and a dairy. Like all buildings of this age it also has its fair share of ghosts. Be always on the lookout for the lady in grey!
Where possible they use their home grown seasonal fruit, herbs and vegetables from their own allotment to the rear of the pub.
Their eggs are from their 18 lovely Hens which can be found to the rear of the pub and they lay some exceptional eggs for their Ham, Egg and Chips.
When they can’t source produce from their garden, they use Arthur David of Bristol, a quality and fine food specialist supplier which has over 50 years experience. Check out the incredible story of Arthur David here.
