A wonderful neighbourhood spot in the centre of Wadebridge with an excellent wine list alongside beautifully prepared cocktails - both classics and innovative specials. Even the non-alcoholic options are excellent and hosts Jonny and Jess are delighted to accommodate - they always find something special and fun for our kids. This thought and care flows through the team with the delightful Isobel on the bar and local legend chef Ripley in the kitchen.
The food is the perfect accompaniment to the drinks - a mix of pintxos / tapas classics and boundary pushing dishes which highlight the best seasonal ingredients. There is always something new to try, as well as a few things we order every time including the,now legendary, cheesecake.
At the weekend, we dropped in for the inaugural Sunday roast, which we hope will become a regular feature - homely and delicious dishes in a cosseting setting. The music was particularly good this weekend and as the sun set over the rooftops, you could feel the pace slow down as if transported to somewhere warmer.
This is a magical spot - essential for locals and a treat...
Read moreWe visited Plonk’d in Wadebridge for Mother’s Day and had a fantastic meal that totally exceeded expectations. It’s a tiny little spot, but so thoughtfully designed—intimate without feeling cramped, and full of character.
We ended up trying almost every dish on the menu (easy to do when everything sounds that good), and the quality across the board was excellent. A few dishes really stood out: the pork cheek was incredibly tender and full of deep, rich flavour; the scallop was beautifully fresh and perfectly cooked. And the Basque cheesecake—baked in the traditional style with a dark top and silky centre—was a quiet showstopper. Just the right balance of creaminess and caramelised depth.
The wine list deserves a mention too—seriously well chosen and impressively good. For the standard of food and drink, the pricing felt more than fair, making it great value for money.
All in all, Plonk’d is a little gem. We’re already looking forward...
Read moreCannot recommend Plonk'd highly enough; it is my absolute favourite spot and every time I go I have the best time. The staff are phenomenal, so knowledgeable and have so much passion in what they do. The care they have for providing the best cocktails and pinxtos is second to none, the ingredients sourced or created by themselves succeed anything you'll find anywhere else. Their set cocktail menu is divine, and there's always something new to try every time I go (which is quite frequently!) I've been to three wine tasting events and have learnt so much; I used to drink wine for the percentage but thankfully Plonk'd have changed my ways and given me a deep appreciation for where, how and why different wines are created; making drinking them a lot more enjoyable. If you're nearby or can get yourself there, do it!!! You will not be disappointed. Big love to you...
