A RESTAURANT which operates out of one of the oldest buildings in Weston has been praised for offering delicious healthy dishes.

The Old Thatched Cottage, the last surviving thatched house in the town, has been listed in OpenTable UK & Ireland's Top 100 Restaurants with Healthy Bites.

The Knightstone Road establishment was originally built in 1791 as a holiday home for Reverend William Leeves, a soldier and musician/composer.
