The Queen Adelaide

Set in the heart of the village of Blagdon, on the edge of the Mendip Hills, The Queen Adelaide is a characterful country pub that now doubles as a well-regarded Indian restaurant and bar. It blends the cosy, beamed charm of a traditional local with a menu of freshly cooked Bangladeshi and Indian dishes, making it a relaxed spot to gather over a curry and a drink. It sits comfortably among the area's top-rated eateries, with well over a hundred diner reviews praising the warm welcome and the quality of the food.

The kitchen covers all the much-loved curry-house classics, from a creamy, mildly spiced Chicken Tikka Masala to a punchy, full-bodied Beef Madras, backed up by tandoori grills, biryanis, fresh breads and plenty of vegetarian choices. There is a proper bar too, so you can enjoy a pint or a glass of wine alongside your meal, whether you are settling in for a leisurely evening or picking up a curry to enjoy at home in the Chew Valley.
