Doh!! Won’t be back with a bang quite as quickly as we thought!
We have made the very difficult decision to remain closed until at least the New Year. We are doing this based upon the reports we have received from organisations within the hospitality trade and the news that we won’t be downgraded to tier one allowing more than one household to mix inside.
To protect our staff and for The Far Canal to survive this time, we see no choice but to remain closed. It is not a decision we’ve made lightly but would rather open when we can give our guests the full Far Canal experience.
We hope all our loyal customers and followers understand this, we’d like to thank those who have emailed and sent messages of support and we look forward to welcoming you all back when it’s safe to do so.
We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year – we’ll see you in the not too distant future.


The Far Canal at Wrantage, not your average country boozer…
The Far Canal at Wrantage, not your average country boozer, but a pub with personality! Looking for a pub in Taunton? Based in the beautiful Somerset countryside and within easy reach from Taunton, the Far Canal offers the opportunity of drinking, eating and socialising somewhere that’s just a little bit different. You are always assured of a warm welcome, bring the better half, 4 legged friends and even the nippers are welcome. Whether its a pitstop for a quick pint, a lingering leisurely lunch or a scrumptious sociable supper, we provide the freshest food including vegetarian and gluten-free options.
The Far Canal has a fabulous landscaped garden where you can relax in the summer with a cheeky glass of something chilled and soak up some rays or in the winter a roaring log fire to snuggle down near and warm your cockles.
The Far Canal, far from what you might expect.
PLEASE CALL 01823 480210 TO BOOK A TABLE IF YOU’D LIKE VISIT US, AT THE MOMENT WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE YOU IF YOU HAVEN’T BOOKED

We are now open but things are a little bit different here at The Far Canal. Our main differences are customers are not allowed to stand to drink anywhere on the premises at the moment (no drinking at the bar we’re afraid) and we’ve had to reduce our menu to make sure our kitchen is as safe as possible. We are still making as much of our food as possible from scratch so you’ll still get the same great, delicious tastes!
All staff have completed training modules relating to working during the current situation

MENUS AND TAKEAWAY SERVICE
At The Far Canal we produce delicious, home-cooked food, freshly prepared at our premises. At the moment we’ve had to reduce our menu to enable us to keep everyone as safe as possible but our menu includes many Far Canal favourites.
We are able to offer a take-away service from our main menu but, to allow our kitchen to produce food of the highest quality, pick-up times will need to be adhered to and if the pub is busy we may ask you to collect from the garden bar. If you’d like to order, please call us and we can take your order and advise of the time to collect.
Please take a look at our menus below and we also have a daily specials board available.
