Tonight, the sky puts on a proper spectacle. From around 6pm, up to 95% of the sun disappears, the deepest partial eclipse Britain’s seen since 2015, and as close to total as we’ll get until 2081! It peaks a little after 7pm, low and golden in the western sky, so if you’ve got a sea view or an open horizon, that’s your spot.
Those of us not working tonight, will be up on Dartmoor. Check out Dartmoor Partner tips for where is best to view, and to check out their top tier walking routes for hidden gems on the moor.

Remember folks...you will need proper eye protection, this isn’t a “have a quick peek” situation, but it doesn’t need to come from a packet. We made ours from what was already lying around the pub: pinhole viewers from cardboard boxes and a colander.
Same science, zero landfill, and mildly more fun to explain to a confused passer-by than a pair of cardboard glasses.
Tag us in your own homemade eclipse viewer creations!

🌒 Bonus for your diary: if tonight whets your appetite, the moon returns the favour on 28 August with a partial lunar eclipse. Earth’s shadow creeping across it in the small hours. Different show, same sky, no glasses required for that one.

Beetroot, crème fraiche, radish, herbs

This one’s a little special.
Not only is it deliciously fresh and cooling (perfect for the super hot days we’ve been having), it’s a dish put together using incredible ingredients that are grown and produced hyper locally, just a stones throw from the pub.

Beetroot & herbs from and crème fraiche from the cows Riverford Organic Dairy both literally just 7 miles from the pub.

DEVON COHORT No.3 // Starts 10th September 2026.

We are super grateful to Skills Boot Camp, Train4Tomorrow & Devon County Council for enabling us to offer full bursaries for cohort 3 of our 💚 Level 3 Course in Regenerative & Sustainable Hospitality, created in partnership with The Apricot Centre

Every Thursday from 10th September to 26th November 2026, we’ll be diving into all things hospitality, food and farming.
Location // Baddaford. Geetie and Guy Singh-Watson’s farm here in little ole Devon. The farm is such an incredible place to base one’s learning, and September is bloody GLORIOUS up there.
Devon-based folk are eligible for fully funded bursaries, covering the full course fee of £2,500. For those living further afield, we have a small number of self-funded places.

Because here’s the thing: every menu is a choice, and where our food and drink come from, who produces it and how, really bloody matters. This course teaches you how to make the better choice, and how to actually make it work: on your books, in your kitchen, on your bar, and with your suppliers.

Massive thanks to everyone who’s come through this course so far, we’re properly proud of the community it’s building!

Applications close on Friday 7th August.

Raspberry Margarita //

Berry season is popping off at and the team of pickers at the farm are like a well-oiled machine picking them, storing them somewhere cool before they are delivered to the pub.
They arrive to us fresh from the field, ready to use on our breakfast, dessert, and bar menu.

Our bar team are up to their usual behind the scenes wizardry, turning the seasons’s bounty of raspberries into a delicious syrup that features in this incredible raspberry margarita. (Swipe to see the different stages of the syrup process.) Raspberry syrup is also featuring in our seasonal cordial selection, if you want all that raspberry flavour, alcohol free. Mix with your choice of still or sparkling water. 

We think this raspberry marg is the perfect summer cocktail. If you’d like to make it at home, here’s the recipe. Right in time for the weekend.

50ml organic tequila
40ml raspberry syrup
30ml lime super-juice.

Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake.
Double strain into a glass with a salt rim, marvel at it for a moment before enjoying it somewhere sunny. 



Raspberry syrup.

There’s no waste from this process.
Once the stewed fruit is strained and bottled. The cooked pulp is still full of deliciousness so it’s put to good use in our kitchen.
The fruit is used as compote, or dehydrated into sweets or sherbet for puds and cocktail garnish.

Chicken breast, squash and cashew nut romesco, spiced roast carrots, green chermoula.

Romesco sauce is traditionally made with red peppers. We won’t see British ones until later in the summer, so for now, we’ve turned to the squash instead.

These have been sitting quietly at since last year, getting better with time. Roasted down, then blitzed with cashews, they bring the same sweetness and depth you’d want from a pepper, just from a different season.

This is the bit we love most about cooking seasonally, we don’t view it as a limitation, it’s a brief. No peppers means the chefs in the kitchen have to think harder, rather than settling for less.
This dish is testament to that. Thinking creatively results in something spectacular.
