Take a break from exploring Abbotsbury and settle in for a relaxed lunch, or make an evening of it with dinner at The Ilchester Arms. From sandwiches and comforting pub favourites to seafood linguine, seabass and steak, there’s something to look forward to.
Bring friends, bring the family, or enjoy a meal for two — with children’s dishes and desserts to round things off.
