About Roth Bar
Da Costa has been named for and inspired by Artfarm co-founder Iwan Wirth's maternal grandfather, who originated from the small mountainous village of Rivamonte Agordino in the Veneto region of Northern Italy. He emigrated to Switzerland in the early 20th century and opened a restaurant much loved for its simple, honest fare.
A century later, and some 800 miles from that first restaurant, Da Costa continues this glorious culinary adventure.
The menu is an exploration of traditional northern Italian recipes featuring an array of antipasti, homemade pastas and risottos and daily specials cooked over fire.
Using freshly grown seasonal ingredients from the walled garden and surrounding area, our dishes blend the best of both words - quintessential Englishness with Italian culinary flair.
Roth Bar is situated at Hauser & Wirth Somerset, a pioneering world-class art gallery occupying a former farmstead in Bruton. The bar plays an integral part in the overall gallery experience. Roth Bar is a vibrant, informal celebration of Somerset and the West Country.
Artist Oddur Roth, grandson of the late German-born Swiss artist Dieter Roth, lived and worked in Bruton, UK between January and April 2024. Alongside his team they reimagined Roth Bar as a new fully functioning, site-specific artwork within the Threshing Barn at Hauser & Wirth Somerset.
Inspired by the history of Durslade Farm, Roth Bar in Somerset is composed of salvaged materials and objects from reclamation yards in the surrounding area.
Enjoy signature and classic cocktails, wine from our vineyard and cider from our orchards, alongside reimagined Roth Bar favourites, snacks and sharing boards, pastries and sweets.
