about us

hi we are mark and liz, we have been in the hospitality business for a long time, we are both hailing from London moving to somerset in the late 90s, first purchasing the derelict wookey hole inn, near wells and the famous caves, complete overhauling making it much bigger and adding bedrooms, it became the busiest food pub is somerset. boasting the largest Belgium beer selection in the uk on draught.

we then bought the devonshire arms. in long sutton a old coaching inn, we revamped it and filled it with great art. to some locals distaste it must be added.

then we bought the sheppey pub on the somerset levels, that became a magnet for great musicians and lots of celebrities. some of the clash and nicholas cage were locals

we then decided, mainly because of brexit and secondly covid to move to the sunny algarve and start a new adventure.

we now have a small hotel above tavira called casa paz and have been happily here near the spanish border for 5 years. receiving guests from all over europe . mark still djs a once a month soul show as DJ haré
