Woodford Lodge
FROM BREAKFASTS, BOARDS & BURGERS
Here at The Woodford we cater for the early bird, the stop and stare and the passer by. Our delicious menu also features gluten free and vegetarian options.
OUR STORY
Stood on the patio overlooking Chew Valley Lake, with the winter sun starting to set, Steve & Diane Franks realised this was the place.
Having recently returned to live in Somerset after spending some time away they had been looking for somewhere to create a vibrant but comfortable café business – It just had to be here!
After being successful in its early years, the restaurant at Woodford Lodge was closed in September 2015. The building was still being used to facilitate the needs of the local fishermen, but the food operation needed a rethink. It needed fresh ideas, a different concept but above all, it needed some love.
Steve & Diane teamed up with local boys, Phil David & Jon Evans to create the café concept that today is known as “The Woodford”. Steve & Diane have used their extensive hospitality knowledge to produce what you see today – a modern and relaxing environment with a quality menu to match.
As Head Chef, Steve prides himself on producing fresh, quality food with an emphasis on using local suppliers and ingredients and with daily specials, a mouth-watering selection of homemade cakes & desserts and a wine list with something for everyone, it really is the place to visit.
Whether you are coming for breakfast, morning coffee, lunch or even afternoon tea, you will find a warm welcome every time.
CHEW VALLEY LAKE
For visitors and users of the lake, Chew is so much more than just a drinking water supply. Chew Valley offers various leisure and recreational facilities, from fishing and sailing to eating out, nature walks and bird watching.
