After a long walk on the Heath on a sunnier than usual afternoon we fancied a Beavertown Neckoil to slake the thirst while we studied the menu. This was our first meal out and visit to the Wells since lockdown and we were not disappointed. To start we had a salad of Granny Smith with blue cheese, rocket, endive and walnuts; and smoked salmon with rosti and spinach topped with a poached egg. For mains we had the duck confit with pureed swede, spinach and dauphinoise potatoes. To accompany our meal we drank a bottle of French merlot. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly. In terms of safety it is reassuring that there is a one way system, hand sanitiser, tables are well spaced and contact details are taken in case someone is diagnosed with covid-19
