Cafés and Restaurants on the Somme Battlefields
The Somme battlefields are in a rural, agricultural landscape. The facilities offering food, refreshments and toilets are limited. Pubs and cafés in the French villages will welcome visitors. There are also a number of places with British hosts and hostesses who have settled locally and who can cater for the many English-speaking visitors to the Somme battlefields.
