Travellers on Dartmoor have been finding solace in the Two Bridges since the 18th century. The Moor being the place it can be it is hardly surprising that in the Tor Restaurant they take no prisoners, gastronomically speaking. Sturdy and robust, the dishes are designed to restore after a hard day. Start with pan-fried local pigeon set on a black pudding mash topped with a poached quail's egg and finished with a raspberry vinaigrette. Chicken supreme filled with a truffle mousse and poached, presented with a mange tout puree, trio of taglione and trumpet noir mushrooms is one of the lighter mains. There is a range of equally bracing desserts and yet again that wonderful West Country cheese board raises its tempting head. Even the wine list is quite challenging and house wine is at £10.45.

The cosy and comfortable Prince Hall in Devon is located in the midst of the Dartmoor National Park and with its marvellous views over the West Dart River and the verdant hills, it's just the place to head out to for a lovely weekend retreat. Spacious and well appointed rooms create a sense of relaxation while the 2 AA rosette bearing restaurant offers some delicious fare for guests as well as non-residents. The light and airy atmosphere is perfect for diners to enjoy the magnificent vistas along with the traditional English dishes that are prepared using the best local and seasonal produce.

Expect to find starters of pressed ham hock and foie gras terrine, red wine and balsamic poached pear followed by a main course of pan fried fillet of John Dory with herb crushed potatoes and tempura of pak choi. The iced mocha parfait in a tuille cup is the perfect way to end and choices from the extensive wine selection and bar meet all your requirements adequately.
