This radically ethical pub with rooms at the top of Totnes High Street is run with a people-and-planet-first ethos and guided by a triumvirate of its own ‘no-bull rules’ for how to dine, trade and work in the most eco-minded way possible. That means organic beer and wine alongside simple, seasonal veg-led food (grown not flown), day-boat fish and ‘mindful meat’ for the daily changing menu in the restaurant. Highlights include hogget chop with whipped tahini, chilli honey, sumac onions and dukkah, or pollock with fennel, chicory and pangritata. Opposite the pub is also the recently-opened Albatross Pizza Shop, which serves a fabulous seasonal menu which changes weekly.
Nine sustainably designed rooms feature lime-plastered walls, reclaimed furniture, reworked vintage fabrics, handmade tiles, organic mattresses and linens, and artisan-made lighting. None of this comes as a surprise when you learn that the owner is Geetie Singh-Watson, who opened the world’s first officially organic pub, The Duke of Cambridge in Islington, in 1998. For families, there is The Albatross, a four bedroom, self-catering apartment across the road with a private terrace.
Competition closes on 27 August.
