Terry and Masons Great Food Trip

Leave a reply

A couple of weeks ago I talked about Terry and Masons Great Food Trip and since then everyone hear at The White House Bed and Breakfas have watched every episode to make sure we didn’t miss Wells.

Well, last night it was on and we weren’t disappointed. Terry and Mason spent a lot of time in the market square and also visited Vicars Close, the oldest inhabited street in Europe. And we learned a couple of things too. We hadn’t realised that Wells Market, which is on every Wednesday ad Saturday, won best market in the South West in 2014, and also weren’t aware that snails in cider was a local delicacy! We’ll have to give that one a try…..

Poldark films in Wells

Leave a reply

No sooner has filming for the prequel to Snow White and the Huntsman finished and we are ready to welcome more film crews.  The Wells Journal has reported that:

“POLDARK fans should get their binoculars at the ready as the series is set to film in Wells next month.  Filming of the second series of the hit show started in Cornwall on Monday but the crews are due to film scenes outside The Crown and in Wells Market Place in a few weeks’ time.”

Its really not surprising that the area is such a hit with film makers. With stunning architecture, and a long history, as well as outstanding natural beauty, it creates the perfect background for every period film.

Hopefully The White House will get to see some of the starts in action.

Terry and Masons Great Food Trip

Leave a reply

Earlier this summer many of the locals in Wells were surprised to find Terry Wogan drinking in their favorite coffee shops.  We have since found out this was part of his series, “Terry and Masons Great Food Trip” details of which can be found at http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/drkd98/terry-and-masons-great-food-trip–series-1—4-evesham and which is now showing as a series of 20 episodes on BBC 1 between 18:30 and 19:00.  Although he didn’t visit The White House unfortunately (wonder what Terry would have thought of our breakfasts????) it would be great if he did manage to include a visit to at least one bed and breakfast in the area.

I’ve seen a couple of the episodes and they’re really good fun; and planning to keep watching so I don’t miss the Wells episode……..
