Olive, Brixham – a Mediterranean kitchen and wine bar

Sea-ing where your food comes from… During September, I had an incredible dinner at Olive Brixham – a Mediterranean kitchen and wine bar, nestled right on the water’s edge in the beautiful harbour town of Brixham, South Devon. It was an invite, ahead of the England’s Seafood Feast, a two week celebration of seafood along the English Riviera that happens annually in late September to … Continue reading Olive, Brixham – a Mediterranean kitchen and wine bar

Myca’s Seafood and Grill, Sidmouth

A recent celebration dinner had to be at family-owned Myca’s Seafood and Grill, for their sensational seafood and shellfish. We’ve not heard or read a bad word about this place, a reputation well earned, I’d say in just 2 years of being open.

So, should you spend your hard-earned dough at Myca’s?

Well… you know that smell? You know the one…. when you walk into a restaurant, and it smells sooo good and you just know you’re in for a great meal?

Read on to find out more! Continue reading Myca’s Seafood and Grill, Sidmouth

The Red Lion Hotel, Oakford

{AD/Invite} The village of Oakford lies at the intersection between Exmoor and the hilly valleys of Mid Devon, where the geographical echoes of moorland can be seen in the luscious forests and the steep hills that surround it. This part of Devon is topographically quite exciting. If you’re travelling from Exeter then you’ll pass through Tiverton, heading towards signs for Minehead and then a left, … Continue reading The Red Lion Hotel, Oakford

REVIEW: Eversfield Organic at the Dartmoor Inn, Merrivale

If you’re heading from Exeter, Dartmoor is deceptively close – as the crow flies it’s five miles to the east border of Dartmoor National Park from Ide. You can head down the M5, along to Bovey Tracey as many do – up across past Haytor along the B3387 and down to Widdicome-on-the-moor, but as most locals know, this can get busy with day trippers and … Continue reading REVIEW: Eversfield Organic at the Dartmoor Inn, Merrivale

REVIEW: The Goose & Gander Kitchen at The Lord Nelson Inn, Topsham.

The Lord Nelson is one of the many pubs that I remember from my childhood growing up near Topsham in the eighties and nineties. There used to be, at one point in history, forty two separate pubs in Topsham. Over the years this number has declined to a handful; the legendary ‘Topsham Ten’ is much less than it used to be. One of the remaining … Continue reading REVIEW: The Goose & Gander Kitchen at The Lord Nelson Inn, Topsham.

Casual Dining in Exeter: Perfect ‘Pho’ the cold weather!

The pun in the title relies on you knowing that Pho is actually pronounced ‘fuh’, but the English tend to pronounce it like ‘foe’, a fact I didn’t realise until I had actually been to Pho Restaurant in Queen St, Exeter. I’ve been a little quiet on the blog recently due to the busy-ness of life, but I am still orchestrating things in the background … Continue reading Casual Dining in Exeter: Perfect ‘Pho’ the cold weather!
