of the fish to shine. With it’s pretty accompaniments including sweet parsnip fondant and glistening plump raisins, this dish evoked memories of mango trees and golden sands. A wonderful plate of sunshine on a late autumn evening in Kingsbridge! Sharing a side of Baby Carrots


dressed with gingerbread, oozing with treacle, a flourish to com- plement both our main choices (we were so right), we reserved Braised Red Cabbage with White Chocolate for future visits. Time for sweet things – two


chocolate offerings to share and compare. Baked White Chocolate tower


topped with crunchy peanut ‘crackle’ drenched in warm Caramac sauce restrained by intense raspberry sharpness. Thoughtfully the jug of sauce left for you to add (even) more! And as day to night – Chocolate Tart with Sea Salt Ice-cream, Plumgel and Honeycomb. Tastes jostled with textures in another stunning combination, never too rich, the chocolate ‘hit’ spiked by glorious plumminess. With front of house overseen by


the irrepressible Alice (all Italian vi- vacity, verve and exquisite charm,) whose innate sense of timing guarantees a faultless service, our young servers Campbell and Karen were at pains to ensure they met both her and Chef’s exacting standards – they did, superbly, with that fine balance of familiarity and professionalism which elevates dining out to an experience. And our wine…. Picpoul de


Pinet from the Félines Jourdan’s estate near Mèze , ideal accompa- niment to Su’s fishy main – sharp and lively (‘pique’), soft (‘poule’ ) and friendly, a heavenly match

Metrat whose vineyards lie in the midst of ‘La Roilette’, the most highly regarded sector of this


region, producing wines of great depth and weighty structure. This is Gamay as it should be; dripping with ripe fruit flavours; aromatic, savoury, and smoky; gorgeously juicy with Fleurie’s characteristic freshness. A wine simultaneously fun and serious. Unsurprising to see them at

the warm copper glow reflected in mirrored walls, bouncing back from the exposed beams of this convert- ed warehouse, it was clear….. The future of food in Kingsbridge is bright; the future is Jamie.
