TEALS: The Power Of Local At Christmas

New destination shopping experience TEALS in Somerset is determined to help bring back the joy, surprise and magic of the festive season. Both a farm shop and kitchen, discover handpicked ethical products, delicious treats from local suppliers and fresh-faced brands, along with the sort of friendly and personal service that enriches each visit. In the lead up to Christmas, TEALS is celebrating its first year anniversary with a special festive party, open to all. Providing an ideal antidote to faceless on-line shopping, TEALS offers a fresh definition of what meaningful, thoughtful, conscious shopping means.

Whether you live nearby or are passing through on the A303, TEALS is the ideal one-stop-shop for unique, artisan, quality Christmas gifting and exciting, delicious things to feast on. Part deli, part health store, part snack stop, TEALS stocks as much local produce as possible, including buzzy fresh-names, small batch and ethical brands. What's more, you'll be supporting an independent, sustainable business that's on a mission to support like-minded producers and suppliers. This is a circular economy model and one we 100% support at IndigoEight.

For locals…Discover a relaxing spot to enjoy lunch, top up your grocery shopping with locally produced meats, daily breads and heritage cheeses. Look after your wallet - and the environment - at the food refill station, where you can top up on inexpensive oats, mueslis, car snacks, nuts and rice. Clever and fun.

For destination makers...If you’re heading to the South West to visit family, TEALS is the ideal place to break your journey. Stretch legs, run dogs (and children..!) in the apple orchard, then stock up on treats and source a few last-minute gifts.

For Christmas cooks….Whether you fancy traditional Turkey, forerib of beef, or game, TEALS butchery is now taking Christmas orders. Fresh meats in the food market are sourced from the nearby hills and many of the fruits and vegetables come from within a mile of the shop. The deli showcases locally churned cheeses, as well as freshly baked pastries and bread. In the bottle store, local ciders and craft beers line up alongside organic, low-intervention and natural wines, artisan spirits, premixed long drinks, and low- and no-alcohol tipples.

For festive shoppers…As well as foodie treats and hampers full of delicious goodies, those stuck for gift ideas will find books, kids toys, artisan crafts and homewares in the lifestyle store.


For rumbling tummies...Once you’ve stocked up, relax and enjoy coffee or a freshly prepared seasonal lunch in the kitchen. On the menu now is velvety mushroom soup scented with tarragon and parsley, wood-roasted Crown Prince squash, with girolles, and a hot and tasty nduja risotto. Finish with sticky date pudding and TEALS’ own tiffin slice. Don’t blame us. Make sure you book ahead.
