Take Thyme Lobster & Fish Restaurant — Restaurant in North Devon

My friend and I visited Take Thyme for the first time on Friday 18 April 2014. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The Restaurant was full with only 2 people in the kitchen (Manager and Assistant) and two others front of house (Manager's wife and very inexperienced trainee).

I highly recommend Take Thyme to anyone visiting or local...

Everything was precisely spiced and delicious. All the produce (well, apart from the olives!) is locally sourced, the fish landed yards away earlier that day. It may be on the menu, but if it wasn't caught, it isn't cooked. Oh and a Bellini and a Combe Cooler added a little something...
