A visit to this Plymouth landmark is de rigueur for historians and architects alike – set in the oldest building in the city, there’s thankfully been little attempt to mask the ancient features. The food looks pretty good too, with modern British fare and ingredients sourced from local suppliers. Crispy Porthilly oysters with a citrus mayonnaise served with picked fennel and orange may precede Cornish lamb rack and shoulder with a side of boulangere potatoes and broad beans. Expect excellent presentation, too; head chef Ben was a quarter-finalist on Professional Masterchef in 2011 and Michel Roux Jnr’s guidance has left a lasting impression.
