Food Scene
Some varied choices, all have there own website, why not use our regular bus service in Langton Matravers to visit a restaurant or pub, so much nicer not to worry about driving or parking...and not to forget our friendly local The Kings Arms, just minutes away, not only great beer, but a very reasonable varied menu.

Adventures on foot and beyond
Most of these places are possible to get to on foot from Winterfell, many of our guests have, even the furthest, when it seems they either walk back or hopped on a bus back to Langton Matravers where possible, but admittedly some are a bit too far for this host 😊
