The Admiral Benbow

  • June 29, 2005
  • Rated 5 of 5 by wlforman from Paignton, United Kingdom
We found this gem on a Sunday evening, when most other restaurants were closed. Halfway down Chapel Street is an unusual inn and restaurant with a mariners theme named after the famous 17th-century Admiral Benbow.

Decorating the inn are cannon and figure heads, much of it authentic, being brought up by divers from some of the many wrecks found off the notorious Cornish coast.

The inn was originally converted from an old cottage, and from the front, the outside still has a quaint feel with its small paned windows. One unusual feature is a smuggler on the roof.

The menu was extensive and featured seafood and meats. The food was delicious, the service friendly and efficient.
