I�m surprised to see this on here as it�s really much more of a restaurant than a pub. Whether you can just pop in for a pint I�m not sure, but certainly food is it�s focus. First impressions don�t do that much, sending you down endless corridors and stair cases, but when you eventually get to the restaurant you find yourself in a light and airy contemporary room with light painted wood panelling on the walls, a wood strip floor and great views over the estuary. There is an outside decking area, but it wasn�t that warm so we elected to stay inside and even though we were one row back from the window we still had a good view of the river and the passing boats. Waitresses were pleasant and helpful, and as you would expect from the location, fish featured prominently on the menu. For starters I had the Pan seared Local Hand Dived Scallops with a Butternut Squash and Nut Butter Puree with Garlic, Ginger and Chilli, Crispy local ham, toasted hazelnuts and sea fennel and for the main course I had the Battered Monkfish with Salcombe Crab Pad Thai � Rice Noodles, Hand Picked Salcombe Crab, Tamarind, Dried Shrimps, Peanuts and Coriander . Price wise it�s not cheap with a three course meal for two and a bottle of wine costing just a few pence short of �100, but you get what you pay for this was one of the best meals I�ve had for a long time. Highly recommended, and I will no doubt return next time I am in Salcombe. Blackthorn - 27 Jul 2012 12:26 |
