The Tytherleigh could be another whitewashed roadside inn, briefly glimpsed along the A358 as you hurtle towards the Dorset border. But halt. Within its 16th-century walls, there is plenty more going on than pub grub. In the kitchen, there's a firm commitment to West Country supply lines, and the menus speak a language that big-city escapees would recognise. Start with miso-glazed king oyster mushroom with kohlrabi rémoulade, mushroom ketchup and cep soil, a fungal exploration full of umami wallop, or consider grilled and tartared mackerel with compressed apple and beer-vinegared beetroot. Dishes have the sturdiness of flavour to back up their smart looks: cod is rolled up and set beside roasted and puréed cauliflower with a bit of burnt lemon in cockle velouté. A daring ingenuity for combining sees crispy pork belly appear with smoked eel, along with caramelised onion and hispi cabbage. Those in the market for fish and chips or a steak will find themselves rather ...

Those in the market for fish and chips or a steak will find themselves rather more royally served than they were expecting. Chips with the latter are, in the modern manner, truffle-oiled and tweaked with Parmesan. Finish with matcha and pistachio cake garnished with white chocolate Chantilly. Wines start at £22 for Italian house selections.

It's always a treat to eat here. Their fish dishes are a delight. I started with John Dory with a white bean cassoulet, kale, broccoli and a chorizo crumb and followed a main of gurnard served with salsify, artichoke pureé, and a pearl barley risotto. Both were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. I finished with a dessert of whipped blue cheese and honey with caramelised figs and a blue cheese tartlet, what a fabulous taste combination! I had a glass of rosé with my main course and...
It's always a treat to eat here. Their fish dishes are a delight. I started with John Dory with a white bean cassoulet, kale, broccoli and a chorizo crumb and followed a main of gurnard served with salsify, artichoke pureé, and a pearl barley risotto. Both were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. I finished with a dessert of whipped blue cheese and honey with caramelised figs and a blue cheese tartlet, what a fabulous taste combination! I had a glass of rosé with my main course and one of Sauternes with my dessert, lovely drinks menu. My fellow diner loved his braised short rib, venison casserole and sticky toffee pudding. Despite the journey to get here, we always look forward to visiting. The deliciousness of the food is delivered by professional, friendly staff. Highly recommended.
