Take a break from doing the cooking and head into the heart of Fulbrook to indulge in a bite to eat at the local pub, The Carpenters Arms, serving delicious home-cooked meals prepared with locally sourced produce in a rustic 17th century setting, or visit the local convenience store to pick up some last-minute ingredients to prepare some tasty treats from the comfort of your holiday home.
