Our Story

Great Food, Genuine Hospitality

At The Tytherleigh Arms, we deliver more than just a meal or a night away — we create memorable experiences rooted in genuine hospitality. From relaxed countryside lunches to special dinners and overnight stays, our focus is always on quality, comfort, and care.

In the kitchen, Head Chef Nick Topham leads with creativity and precision, crafting dishes that celebrate the best of seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. His passion for flavour and attention to detail shine through in every plate. Out front, our Head Waiter Paul — who has been with us since 2016 — brings warmth, charm, and an expert touch to every guest interaction, helping to create the friendly, attentive service we’re known for.

What sets us apart is the people behind it all. Our dedicated team share our vision and bring decades of experience and a deep love for hospitality. It’s this combination of great food, genuine service, and thoughtful touches that keeps our guests returning, time and again.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Location

Beautifully positioned for Coast & Country

Surrounded by rolling farmland and just 20 minutes from the Jurassic Coast, we’re fortunate to have access to an exceptional variety of local producers and ingredients.

Our location also makes for a wonderful base to explore the area — whether you’re heading to the coast at nearby Lyme Regis for a wild swim, wandering countryside trails in the Blackdown Hills, or discovering the nearby market towns of Axminster and Bridport.

Getting to us

Well connected, easily found

Tytherleigh feels a world apart from the stresses of modern life, but is easily accessed via road (A358) or by rail at Axminster (approx. 10 minutes) or Crewkerne (approx. 20 mins).

We’re well located to explore The Westcountry, and make a wonderful stop-over if you’re heading further south into South Devon or Cornwall.
