Both a Cafe-Restaurant and a Fish and Chip Shop. So you can either eat in the nice restaurant with the stunning views overlooking Chew Valley Lake or get a takeaway from the Fish & Chip Shop and sit on one of the picnic tables and watch the sun go down. Note it can get very busy at the weekend so booking the restaurant may be advisable.
