A pub sitting in the middle of nowhere on the Cornish coast, surrounded by fields and sheep with the Atlantic just over the hill. The team forages hogweed and Japanese knotweed from nearby hedgerows, which sounds alarming until the plate arrives and makes complete sense. Fires burn, the décor is cheerfully worn-in, and the seafood stays simple enough to let a fresh sole fillet speak for itself. Bedrooms upstairs if you'd rather not drive those lanes at night.

Megrim sole
“The unfussy, classically based dishes are all the better for their simplicity; if the chefs have got a fresh, sweet fillet of megrim sole, for example, then they wisely don't get in the way of its natural flavours.”
