About Us

About Us

Roth Bar opened in 2014 as an integral part of Hauser & Wirth Somerset, and was also the first Artfarm location. Founded by Iwan and Manuela Wirth, Artfarm believes that the most sustainable creative developments weave together art, community, learning, people and place.

We are passionate about honest, seasonal produce and work closely with local farmers, gamekeepers and gardeners, to use the freshest British produce with a focus on ethical sourcing and sustainability.

ROTH BAR

ROTH BAR

Artist Oddur Roth, grandson of the late German-born Swiss artist Dieter Roth, has been living and working in Bruton, UK since January 2024. Alongside his team, Einar Roth, Bjarni Grímsson, Thrandur Gíslason Roth and Gudmundur Oddur Magnusson, they are reimagining 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.

WALLED GARDEN

WALLED GARDEN

Our walled garden is located at the stunning Roundhill Grange, just five minutes from the site. The two acres of garden are looked after by our kitchen gardener, who uses age old techniques and tools to maintain the land. Hazel is coppiced from the woodlands and used as a support for heritage varieties of peas and beans. Old espalier apples and pears thrive on the sun-drenched walls and the beds are filled with seasonal bounty from broad beans and peas, to beetroot and spinach. We continue to grow a wide range of culinary herbs and edible flowers, all of which exist in harmony with the surroundings.
