Axminster is only 5 miles from Flintstones Cottage and situated right in the centre of the town in the market square, is Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage Canteen and Deli.

We have often popped in for lunch or even an afternoon tea and have always enjoyed the tasty food that is on offer there. Also, the deli sells lovely local food and Lyme Bay wines as well as local cheese and these items are always reasonably priced and a little bit different to what you can buy in a supermarket! However, Thursday morning is when the market is held, so the town is always very busy then and parking can be a problem.
