Simon Hulstone’s bright, laid-back restaurant looks out over Torquay Harbour. Low-backed wooden chairs sit at stone tables – backed by moody coloured walls – and elephant-themed decorations are dotted about the place. Hugely appealing dishes are led by the season’s top produce and Simon champions both local ingredients – including those grown and reared on their 96-acre farm – and prime Norwegian seafood. Accompaniments are designed to enhance each main ingredient, and the tasting menu best demonstrates the breadth of his skill.
