The Natterjack Inn
Evercreech Junction, Shepton Mallet, Somerset, BA4 6NA. Tel: 01749 860253
The Natterjack Inn. Originally called the Railway Hotel, it was built to provide a service for the passengers at Evercreech Junction on the busy Somerset and Dorset line. When the line closed in 1966 the inn was aptly named The Silent Whistle. After changing hands, it became The Natterjack out of the owner's interest in the now protected Natterjack toad. The Natterjack is in the heart of Somerset, one of Britain's most beautiful counties and producer of some of it's finest food and drink.
