    I rode by the Salty Pigeon several days ago and decided it looked worth trying out. I had no…read morereference for it at all, just a chance encounter. I was thrilled with the discovery. The setting is tasteful and elegant, nothing fancy but nice. The bulk of the seating is upstairs. The menu is well sized; not overwhelming. A nice "About" story is printed inside the menu, introducing you to the players and bringing a nice personal touch to the experience. I ordered the duck confit with black pudding and bacon lardons and jus starter and the lamb rump with couscous for the main. For the wine I ordered a glass of local red wine (from Kenton winery down the road), which surprised me as well. Very drinkable and matched my meal nicely. A taste of a potato and garlic with truffle oil soup (biche?) was served while I waited and my taste buds were raring to go. The duck confit with black pudding was like an umami explosion in my head - utterly delicious. I was sad to see it end. The lamb rump, which was served with a sage infused jus, was even better. This was by far the best meal I'd had in Exeter (and one of the best in the UK). After discussing the jus with Ryan, the owner, he brought out a small bowl for me to dunk my bread. Unpretentiousness scores high in my book. That bordered on awesomeness. To finish I ordered the cheese platter and another glass of wine. Ryan introduced each cheese to me (all locally produced) and as I was the last customer in the restaurant we chatted about a few things. A good host, new to the trade with an excellent product. I enjoyed it so much I felt compelled to write a review (which I don't do often). Seriously, if you live in Exeter or are simply visiting, make this one of your destinations.

This has got to be one of the oldest pubs in South Wales, it's medieval and dates from 1380. This is one of those places that reminds you how small we used to be - I'm only 5ft 7 and I stoop through the worn wooden doors. I havn't eaten here, but there is also a well respected restaurant upstairs offering a good selection of seafood dishes. Dishes include: Brixham Crab Cake with baby leaves and lemon butter sauce (£5.25); Plaice Goujons with paprika and a sweet red pepper tartar sauce (£4.95); Roasted Fillet of Hake with a chorizo and roasted red pepper risotto ith tomato, garlic and orange sauce for £13.95 For the vegetarians on the day I visited there was: Tomato Fondue, Wild Mushroom and Aubergine Bake, finished with garlic crumb and poached egg (£4.95) and Rosemary and Truffle Arancini Risotto with a tomato, red onion and spring onion salsa ( £4.95). The restaurant opening times are Monday to Saturday from 7pm to 9.30pm. They also offer bar meals between 12 and 2 pm Mondays to Saturdays and evening meals Monday to Friday from 6 to 8 pm.

And a beautiful spot for a picture that will include a thatched roof and hanging baskets.

Plenty of seating areas to eat or just a drink. Great atmosphere in the summer or winter. A lovely open fire in the main bar when it's chilly outside. Have visited this inn many times a real favourite with all the family.

    SALMON, OTTERS & DUCKS The Daily Telegraph wrote: Henry Williamson,…read moreborn in 1895, served in the trenches during the First World War. This extremely sensitive, highly strung and romantic soul never recovered from the horror and the disillusionment he experienced in Flanders. From 1921 onwards he buried himself in the little North Devon village of Georgeham, seeking an escape from inner torment by exploring and writing about the wild and unfrequented landscapes of Exmoor. Growing up in the London suburbs, I was eternally gratefully for his highly-acclaimed works 'Salar the Salmon' and 'Tarka the Otter' which would instantly transport me to my beloved North Devon, where I spent so many happy times visiting family during the summer school holidays; a real home from home. My parents went back to their original home there upon retirement and I still visit my mother there when possible. Tonight we must go the Rock at Georgeham, she announced during a recent visit, so go we did. I had a vague memory of having gone there many years ago, but vague it remained. It is essentially an old timbered pub, with a modern conservatory. Food is served in both areas and we decided to sup some Rioja in the traditional area. Photo link: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/Textklick/Qype%20pix/067bf03a.jpg The menu is very convincing and even more so the specials menu, which is displayed on a board but also available in print. Photo link: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/Textklick/Qype%20pix/4ac9c2a0.jpg I thought that that the 'Georgeham cured ham' sounded pleasingly alliterative, poetic or whatever, and it certainly did not disappoint. The pan roasted duck breast was sensational, although I did not take so well to the 'gooseberry tarte tatin' which was 'tarte by name and tart by nature'. I think duck really deserves something a bit sweeter, but if anything it was my fault because I chose it. La contessa and la dowager contessa were delighted with their choices. Reasonable prices, excellent food, great ambiance and also friendly staff who definitely seemed just that bit more professional than average. Do take a look at the excellent website and if you are in that neck of the woods, you will not regret visiting.
