Cheeky!

Once in a while we try to get away from it all, and so just the other week I found myself in London's oldest restaurant, 'Rules', where I tried a very old-fashioned dish of Braised Pork Cheeks and Black Pudding in Cider Sauce.

Wow!

I decided there and then that we must try this back at the pub and, after managing to source some cheeks from my butcher, chef Karl has now created this really fantastic dish. It's on the Specials Board as I write ... try it!

If you can’t be at the seaside ...

We were thinking, if you can’t be at the seaside in summer then the next best thing has to be enjoying some gorgeous seafood.

So, from the 4th to the 31st July, we’re running what can only be called a Seafood Extravaganza. Yes, an Extravaganza! Not a promotion and certainly not a common-or-garden special offer!

On the menu there’ll be Moules Marinière à la Crème (with skinny fries), Fish Smorgasbord and Fresh ‘Brixham’ dressed crab salad. If you download the voucher from the website here and present it to us when you order, then you can enjoy any one of those treats for just £12.95 – AND we’ll give you a free 175ml glass of chilled rose or dry white wine – the perfect refreshing accompaniment.

And if that’s not an extravaganza, then it’s certainly being extravagant with our wine cellar!

So, come on up and enjoy some really good seafood dishes anytime from the 4th to the 31st July, as many times as you like. Looking forward to seeing you.
