Congratulations to on the opening of Jack Sprat’s and Ten Green Bottles today! We cheered up a miserable rainy evening by going to the latter’s opening night. The style and quality were what might be expected of the original proprietors of “The Owl and Pussycat” in Teignmouth. “Ten Green Bottles” offers modern European cuisine in a based on quality local produce. Interestingly, the arrangement allows you to design your own main course with a ‘mix and match’ choice of sauces, vegetables and potatoes. We enjoyed three delicious courses all washed down with a very pleasant bottle of nicely chilled white wine. The front-of-house welcome was warm, relaxed and attentive, creating a lovely friendly atmosphere.
Next door, “Jack Sprat’s” offers quality home-made burgers and pizzas in cafe style surroundings. This also seemed to be doing a good trade on its opening night.
This certainly gives locals a reason to walk into town (no drink-drive issues) and has the potential to draw in people from neighbouring areas. I would certainly recommend “Ten Green Bottles” and intend to try its neighbour at some stage. This is exactly the sort of venture Dawlish needs to lift it out of the doldrums.
