Murrays
Clevedon, Somerset
'For a small seaside town like Clevedon, I think it's a good restaurant; I was pleasantly surprised,' noted one reader after visiting this personally run neighbourhood eatery, wine shop and delicatessen a short jaunt uphill from the pretty Victorian pier, at the top of a pleasant shopping street. The large glass frontage, silver-birch wallpaper and high ceilings give the place a light, airy feel that chimes perfectly with a menu of 'enjoyable, authentic Italian food'. Expect 'great pizzas' and temptingly filled sandwiches for lunch, alongside more sophisticated dishes such as a starter of breaded whole Roman artichokes with paprika mayonnaise or a pasta course of tagliatelle with asparagus, guanciale, olives and rosemary cream. Substantial secondi might feature slow-cooked pig's cheeks in a cream and caper sauce with sautéed savoy cabbage, Parmesan polenta chips and basil oil, while puddings are traditional favourites including tiramisu and affogato. Wednesday night is reserved for fixed-price pizza/pasta deals, and there's a traditional Sunday roast too. On weekend evenings, the courtyard garden turns into an ‘enoteca’ with its own menu of cicchetti and antipasti to accompany choices from an impressive list of Italian wines, many of which you can also buy to take home from the adjoining deli.
