The Acorn

The Acorn is an independent cafe, bistro and bottleshop situated in the heart of Yeovil, right opposite the Church green.

At The Acorn, we believe in simple, quality food and drink which creates memorable experiences. We love to celebrate great local produce, served perfectly by our friendly team. We believe that hospitality should give back – creating inclusive experiences that actively enrich, strengthen and support our local community and local economy.

 MON TO SAT DAYTIMES: Homecooked brunch and lunch, barista coffee and seasonal deli & bottleshop
SUN MORNINGS: Brunch served until 11:30am
EVENTS AND EVENINGS: We host regular evening events (see the poster at the bottom of the homepage for upcoming events) and The Acorn can also be hired out for parties/events, see our ‘Events’ tab for more information.

Booking is always advised, particularly for bookings larger than six people. Although we try to ensure walk ins can join us too, this cannot always be guaranteed.

Cafe and bar

Our cosy cafe bar is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a break away from the high street!

We serve a broad range of cakes, Somerset-roasted coffee, delicious brunch, homecooked lunches, local soft drinks and alcoholic beverages – also mostly local!

Our brunch and lunch menus are crafted around regional and seasonal ingredients that we love. Pop in and try one of our Somerset breakfasts, infamous cheeseboards, Somerset steak frites, homemade fish finger butties or anything else from our varied menus: see the menu tab for more details.

Whilst enjoying your food and drink, take a look at the pictures on the walls to see the provenance of the produce; all our pictures are taken ourselves to highlight our wonderful suppliers – feel free to ask a staff member for the story behind each one. 

Bottleshop and deli

In the first room of The Acorn, you will find a range of wines and cheese available to purchase so you enjoy at home.

We have over 15 cheeses from Somerset, Devon and Dorset. These range from traditional cheddars through to ash covered soft goats cheeses. You can pick up block cheddars at prices that rival the supermarkets cut to size, or you can treat yourself to something a bit more special and artisanal.

We also fundamentally believe in sustainability – buying local means reduced fuel expenses, better environmental practices and keeps money local.

In our bottleshop, you will find over 50 bottles of hand-selected wines. We specialise mostly in Old World but you will find some New Worlds in there, and even the odd bottle of English wine! You can also pick up local ciders, ales, beers, spirits, aperitifs and apple juice! 

Evenings at The Acorn

On selected evenings (usually Fridays) you can cosy up in our candlelit bar for one of our events.

We host monthly ‘Supper Clubs’ and ‘Wine Tasting’ events, alongside seasonal ‘Cocktail and Small Plates’ evenings and more. See the poster at the bottom of the homepage for upcoming events.

Alongside these, we have a well-crafted, fine wine list and knowledgeable staff who can help advise you on perfect pairings with your food choices.

If wine isn’t your thing, we have a broad range of local ciders, ale, spirits, Somerset Cider Brandy aperitifs, cocktails and soft drinks which also pair beautifully.
