RESIDENTS of Somerset looking to enjoy a festive lunch sourced from Westcountry can visit Rumwell Farm Shop in the lead up to Christmas.

The Christmas lunch offer will be available daily, except Sundays, up until December 23.

Anne Mitchell, partner at the Farm Shop, located on the A38 between Taunton and Wellington, said: "We look set to sell more than 8,000 sprouts, 10,000 pigs-in-blankets using our own farm pork to make them and 20,000 Rumwell-grown potatoes for roasting this Christmas.

"However, not everyone wants to cook or clear up afterwards, so they can come to us in the run-up to the big day and we’ll do all the work, and they can tuck into Westcountry-sourced produce that’s part of our Christmas lunch menu, which is available until December 23."

Anne is inviting people along with their friends, families and work teams to enjoy a table service Christmas lunch at the shop.

There is an array of choices for lunch, such as a roast turkey with festive accompaniments, cod and spinach streusel served with seasonal vegetables and a rich bisque sauce or Portobello mushroom, sweet potato and garlic 'mille feuille' served with seasonal vegetables and warm red pepper pesto.

Starters and desserts are available, along with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives.

Ms Mitchell said: “This year we’ve seen a growing trend towards people seeking out traditional British festive ingredients and where possible looking for Westcountry and Somerset sourced items. Our waiting staff are on-hand to discuss the provenance of our produce with our diners."

Additional bakery items, including Christmas puddings, cakes and more than 1,000 mince pies are also prepared on-site.

There is also a traditional Festive Pie made from their farm eggs and pork.

It features apricots, chestnuts, slices of chicken breast and free-range sausage meat. It is available at the shop, along with a selection of British and Westcountry cheeses.

Children aged 10 and under can select their meals from a separate menu.

Booking, pre-ordering and a £20 deposit is required for the festive lunch, and tables of eight or more people should call or email to make their booking.

Two courses cost £27.99, with three courses costing £32.99, served with tea or coffee.

Bookings can be made via the Rumwell Farm Shop website.
