About The Flying Fish

The Flying Fish is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

The Flying Fish is a 19th-century pub that pairs British and Caribbean home-cooking with hotel-style rooms housed in converted stables.

Venue highlights: An on-site barn provides a private, adaptable setting for informal ceremonies and larger receptions. In-house catering serves a mix of British and Caribbean home-cooked dishes and full cooked breakfasts for resident groups. A conservatory and large garden create indoor–outdoor flow, while on-site ensuite rooms in converted stables offer pet-friendly and accessible overnight accommodation.

Best for: Informal weddings, weekend private celebrations that use on-site accommodation, and family gatherings where guests bring pets.

Location: The area between Ashill and Broadway sits amid open countryside and affords views across the Blackdown Hills. The rural setting has limited late-night venues, so on-site accommodation and a large garden are practical for events that continue after dining.

What guests say: The accommodation is spacious, pet-friendly and accessible, with ensuite bathrooms and verandas suited to overnight groups. In-house catering delivers well-spiced British and Caribbean dishes and full cooked breakfasts, and service is warm and responsive for group bookings.
