- Food & drink
- The Bell" on Preston Road which is 25 minutes away from the ground but I love the bell. Food is very good and very reasonably priced. The staffs are helpful the wine is always at the right temp and the beer also. The whole place has a really nice atmosphere and I love the way it is divided up into several different areas. Itβs so much better than the Airfield Tavern, Both in food quality and price. To get there quickly take the train to Taunton then walk up to the parade and then take the First in Bristol, Bath & the West Bus 54 Yeovil Hospital on Kingston and its five minutes to the pub.

At the second roundabout called the Cartgate roundabout and take the second exit onto the A3088 towards Yeovil. Follow the road for around four miles until you reach a roundabout with the Westlands Airfield in front of you.
