Bruton is home to Hauser & Wirth Somerset, an internationally acclaimed contemporary gallery, plus a host of independent boutiques and artisan shops. The town has a number of excellent restaurants and bars including At the Chapel, Briar and the Old Pharmacy. Close by are the Newt luxury country house hotel, and Osip Restaurant with its Michelin star.

The town also offers a broad range of everyday amenities including petrol station, convenience stores, bakery, chemists and post office.
