Proper tea, homemade cakes, local art & inspiring gifts in a Victorian schoolhouse

  • Food served all day
  • Open seven days a week
  • Dog friendly

Tea is always a good idea

A warm welcome

Tucked away on the High Street in Yetminster, Boyles Old School has been lovingly converted into a family-run café, gallery and gift shop where the kettle is always on. Settle into a sofa or armchair by the woodburner, browse ever-changing exhibitions of local art, and stay for barista-made coffee, homemade cakes and a proper lunch.

Food is served all day, seven days a week — and dogs are as welcome as their owners. Six miles from Sherborne, six from Yeovil, and well worth the trip.

We do hope you’ll call in
