Sunday Lunch at the Woodford, Chew Valley Lake
Overview
Chew Valley Lake was formed by the construction of a dam on the River Chew near Chew Stoke. The construction was started in 1950 and took 6 years to complete. It was built to supply the people of Bristol with drinking water. Local agricultural farmland was flooded to form Chew Valley Lake and several farmsteads had to be demolished beforehand. When water levels recede during dry spells, old hedgerows, tree stumps, roads and even a bridge can be seen once again.
As they stood on the patio overlooking Chew Valley Lake, with the winter sun starting to set, Steve & Diane Franks realised this was the place. They have used their extensive hospitality knowledge to produce what you see today – a modern and relaxing environment with a quality menu to match. As Head Chef, Steve prides himself on producing fresh, quality food with an emphasis on using local suppliers and ingredients and with daily specials, a mouth-watering selection of homemade cakes & desserts and a wine list with something for everyone, it really is the place to visit. Team Woodford understand what it takes to make a great experience for their customers. They all have a love of the area in which they live and work.
