he re-building of the fire-damaged shops and flats between Higher Street and Fairfax Place does create something of a bottleneck. It would be a pity if that discouraged visitors and indeed residents to venture further to the cafés, pubs and shops between Fairfax Place and the Lower Ferry/Bayards Cove. Just in case, we asked a few of these businesses to provide a quick snapshot of what’s new or happening for them during September and early October.


Beyond the bottleneck! T

Jo and John have since become active participants in such events as the Food Festival and the South Devon Crab Festival. their restaurant prides itself on offering reasonably priced, yet elegantly presented modern british cooking, using the best of local and seasonal produce – see advert on page 28.
