ADVERTISING PROMOTION Jan/Feb


The mushroom and brandy sauce would proba- bly win no prizes for innovation but unquestion- ably so for its lip-smacking gorgeousness. The lamb was served pink with light chick pea fritters and babaganoush, a spiced aubergine puree that was not only completely yummy but a welcome nod to Mocky’s Tunisian roots. Talking of which, the restaurant’s popular


evenings of North African food and culture are set to return in January and with pre-booking only I’d suggest it’s time to get dialling. Neither of us are huge pudding fans so when Adam suggested he prepare an assiette with a taste of all five – an honour reserved for reviewers only I’m afraid – we happily agreed. Goodness, what a revelation, as within minutes


they were gone. My favourite was the almond torte, or possibly the plum syllabub, Mrs C’s the sticky toffee pud- ding which was somehow rich and deep yet light as the proverbial feather. With Adam out of sight I looked over to


Mocky, whose waiting career has included serv- ing several heads of state, and said what a clever chef he had.


He merely tapped the side of his nose and gave me a wink that said it all. As we walked back to the seafront and our car, under the clear frosty night sky, a few words from Lear’s famous poem came naturally to mind: ‘And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon, They danced by the light of the moon.’ Supper at the Owl and Pussycat will cost £25 - £30 per head for three courses. The well-chosen wine list includes the excellent Sharpham Dart Valley Reserve from Totnes and Bob Lindo’s award-winning Camel Valley Cuvee Brut all the way from Bodmin.
