The Mutton Club

The Mutton Club - an appreciation for all things Fernhill Farm, and a celebration of sheep and nomadic shepherding

Back for our third season of social suppers on a Winters night and introducing Sheepy Sundays at Fernhill Farm, we celebrate the humble sheep with an alternating selection of adult evening and/or family days out on the farm

We won’t make you eat mutton on every occasion and all dietary requests will be fully catered for, it’s just a simple gathering of togetherness with a focus on true food, lovely conversations, with farm activities in a warm safe space here on the Mendip Hills

Please PRE-BOOK your special dietary needs here thanks jen@fernhill-farm.co.uk 07903584695

We are offering this at £25pp with a Bring Your Own Drinks bar set up as we don’t sell alcoholic drinks at Fernhill Farm

Most welcome to help yourself to Mendip Tap Water, Teas and Coffees throughout your time here with us, with glasses available so please do bring a bottle or two of your favourite tipples

The Social suppers are an evening on the hill, in our cosy horseshoe barn feasting on Fred's delightful cooking, enjoying a 3 course seated buffet

New to this Winter season are our Sheepy Sundays - for families and those who prefer to venture out in daylight to stretch their legs, embrace the weather with a farm walk, perhaps try their hand with a wool craft activity and enjoy a 3 course traditional Sunday Roast menu

Please note - the 3 courses will include a simple canape or starter, main and set pudding - menu's will be released nearer the time of each feast and we have set a mini meal option for the Sheepy Sundays for children
