), devised the
menus at this cove-side eatery set in the South Sands hotel. Inevitably seafood features
strongly; char-grilled monk fish, Salcombe crab and West Country lobster sit alongside
ranks of pork and beef steaks. The cooking is assured; it has to be to compete with the
mesmerising bay views.

Overflowing with distressed driftwood-chic, this brasserie
features huge rowing oars, red ensigns and a seaview deck. It's a perfect spot to sample
sautéed scallops with bacon, sea bream with sweet pepper, and goat's cheese-themed veg-
gie options. That or work through a pitcher of Pimm's. Summer sees them busy barbe-
cuing mackerel, steaks, haloumi and prawns (from 4pm to 8.30pm).
