Put a date in your diary to visit Somerset’s smartest food market, Teals
Teals oozes destination-shopping status. Stepping across the threshold of the charming purpose-built barn, discerning food lovers stock up on beautifully packaged artisan products from its heaving shelves and linger over rows of carefully considered accessories and homewares. Younger visitors, meanwhile, walk around wide-eyed, captivated by the colours and textures of artisan toys and games.
Meet, eat and repeat
Regular customers are savvy enough to book a table at Teals’ bustling restaurant. Loved by locals and passersby alike, its wholesome and flavourful dishes celebrate exceptional, locally produced ingredients in tune with the seasons.
Home cooks aiming to stock up for the week ahead are well rewarded too. There is no shortage of top-quality temptations to drop in the basket from the butcher’s counter, while fresh pasta and kimchi, just-prepared salads, artisan bread and interesting cheeses all call to be taken home. The bottle store is also a find, showcasing a beautifully curated range of beers, ciders and wines, as well as low- and no-alcohol drinks to suit all palates and budgets.
The buzz at Teals extends beyond the impeccably stocked shelves and busy restaurant. The site is also a hive of activity thanks to its rotating programme of events and masterclasses. Subjects range from fermented drinks to flower arranging, with much in between, while outdoor bootcamps and indoor Pilates sessions provide further reasons to set the satnav for BA22 7FS.
