Kings Arms, Salcombe

[longjohnsilver]

Due to a lack of gas we had to eat ashore on Saturday night. The Victoria was fully booked but the Kings Arms (by the dinghy pontoons) fitted us in. Menu was pretty simple, 2 of us had cod and chips and Debs had cod in some sort of sauce. Now considering we were about to have scallops and dover sole on board (all freshly caught by myself) before the gas ran out and that I was almost always disappointed with pub/restaurant fish dishes the cod was delicious. It ranks as one of the best fish meals I can remember eating in any shore side establishment. Super light batter and cooked to perfection. And the staff were pretty and very helpful.

Well done, Kings Arms you saved our evening.

Thanks, I'll remember that when I call in to go to the fish and chip shop and find it's closed for the Winter , again /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Actually I've always had reasonable pub grub there, though I've never called in during the "Henry Season".

Is the fish and chip shop ever open. When I arrived in Salcombe just after 9 pm in May there I couldn't find anywhere still serving food - had to go back on board and feed on cereal and toast intended for my breakfast. (Did get some nice bacon from the butchers next morningfor a replacement cooked breakfast though)

Salcombe chippy is worse than useless. I went in a couple of days ago (open 4.30 - 8.30 on random days of the week) and they didn't have any pies or pasties /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

We(5 of us) had a decent meal in the King's Arms last night. They've done out the dining room since my last visit and the atmosphere is nice.
Prices seem to have gone up to pay for it though /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Can recommend the main course chowder in particular, along with the pork ribs. Service was good as well.

I'm more than happy over every time circumstances allow it. I would recommend it

Cheers
