The webpage about the new restaurant says: “Expect a regularly changing menu of stunning sharing dishes and small plates that celebrate Westcountry produce, with an emphasis on cooking over fire using our Japanese robata grill, alongside a delicious selection of cocktails, wine and craft beer.  

“Join us every Friday and Saturday for Head Chef Keola’s menu that showcases amazing cuts of meat sourced from Walter Rose Butchers in Wiltshire – including Aberdeen Angus & Hereford beef from Tim Johnson’s Stokes Marsh Farm, dry-aged on the bone – sustainably sourced local seafood, and in-season vegetables from local growers. 

“And every Sunday you can enjoy indulgent Sunday roasts, alongside a selection of robata grill dishes.” 

The Whitmore Tap was previously real ale pub the Penny Farthing, before being converted to the taproom by new owners Butcombe Brewery in 2021.
