LYMPSTONE IS A LUCKY VILLAGE

For many years the grey beards in the village have said that Lympstone has one pub too many. But nature abhors a vacuum and I think that 2013 will fill the empty spaces around the bars. The Swan has seen bar space reduced by an increase in dinners – many of them coming in from Exmouth. The Redwing has increased capacity by fitting out the Loft as a semi-private dinning and drinking area. And now Ange and Mike, the new landlords in the Globe, are moving in with great ideas, many based on their experience as customers having lived in Lympstone backed by Ange’s money management experience as an accountant. The Saddlers will hope to swell their takings with passing trade from a recovering economy. I hope to help everybody by not buying a new car and spending the money saved on good dinners – like local mussels followed by a freshly caught Jason’s crab (or a lobster, I am not picky) served with a crisp dry white. The Herald will carry reports on my dining adventures around the village.
