The Salthouse Dun Cow, Salthouse

The aspiration behind this business is to be a pub that happens to serve good food - not a restaurant that happens to have a bar.

Most establishments pride themselves on local, good quality produce. And the crew at Salthouse are no different.

They have Red Poll beef from Rex and Sarah Dawson at The Manor House and fish from Richard Matthews, who can often be seen coming through the door with an arm full of freshly caught crabs and lobsters.
