Mitch Tonks has written a little black book of seafood, detailing the best places to eat seafood in the South West. Many restaurants were featured in the book which has been beauifully crafted with wonderful illustrations. Amongst the restaurants was South Sands in Salcombe. The book was written for First Great Western, highlighting the wealth of the good food industry which is accessible by rail now.
Dartmouth based restaurant, The Seahorse scoop top prize at the Observer Food Monthly Awards. Editor Allan Jenkins said " The Seahorse is the sort of brilliant seafood restaurant you hope to find in Italy, France and Spain, and never do. It has a great room, great service and great cooking from Mitch and Mat. With an intensely loyal local following, it made us at OFM very happy to see them outgun the big-money, big-ticket, big London places." This year saw a 60% increase in reader votes for the awards and was judged by a panel of food writers, critics and chefs.
A huge achievement for a small restaurant in Dartmouth to take the top spot!
