Firkin Cottage

As the name suggests, this well-run restaurant is all about cooking over coals, and a lovely smoky aroma will hit you the moment you enter. Sitting within a delightful market town, it has a chef-owner who’s also a potter, so the good-looking, brightly decorated space comes with plenty of bespoke creations to admire – he even made the wooden tabletops as a side project too! The seasonal set menu is based around whatever prime produce is available at the time, be that monkfish cheeks or saddleback pork, with the ember-based cooking resulting in comforting, satisfying dishes.
