The first two choices from the specials board were Crévettes served hot in garlic butter, wish I'd had them as a main course as they were amazing, and Seared Scallops with roast tomato salsa and parmesan also delicious. (It is possible to have both the crévettes and the scallops as a main course). Last choice, from the lunchtime menu, the beautifully presented Antipasti - selection of cured meats, olives, pickles & fig chutney.

Our mains: Smoked Haddock & watercress risotto topped with poached egg (a daily special), Baked Crab pot topped with a citrus crust, crisp salad & bread and also from the specials board, whole grilled Torbay Sole served with new potatoes and vegetables; these were an unusual combination of cabbage & marrow, very nice. We all enjoyed our choices but the sole was the winner.
All the dishes were well presented and adequate servings. We were so satisfied with our starters and main courses we opted out of sampling the desserts but did notice there were some good treats in store - the treacle tart looked wonderful! We finished with coffees in the garden. Excellent food, cant wait to go back for more crévettes!
