The Pecking Mill Inn is a beautiful 16th-century inn and restaurant nestled in the Mendip countryside in the Somerset village of Evercreech. Diners can sit in the riverside beer garden or cosy up in the candlelit restaurant, where a brasserie-style menu is served in relaxed and traditional surroundings. The comprehensive wine list is supplemented by the well-stocked bar, where an easygoing crowd of locals adds to the chatty, welcoming atmosphere.
