Pub restaurants in England

Rising Sun
It's only a quick walk uphill from the touristy Lynmouth seafront, but this thatched pub is a world away from pasties-from-a-bag. Head chef Paul Sage has turned this into the town's most enticing eatery, making maximum use of the meat, seafood and game on his doorstep – try the lobster for an absolute treat. The building itself has plenty of smugglers' character, with higgledy-piggledy floors and hefty beams.

Old Harker's Arms
An old-style boozer with a gourmet kitchen, this is the perfect place to tuck into Cumberland sausages or a Creole rice salad with sweet potatoes, and then rinse your palate with a pint of local ale, such as Cheshire Cat. It also serves bar snacks and sandwiches.

Lamb Inn
This Eastbourne institution, located less than a mile northwest of the train station in the undervisited old town, has been plonking Sussex wet ones on the bar for eight centuries. A holidaying Dickens left a few beer rings and smudged napkins here (he stayed across the road). Buses 1 and 1A stop nearby.

King of Prussia
The king of Fowey's many pubs takes its name from the local 'free trader' John Carter, and makes a superior spot for a quayside pint or a quick crab sandwich.

Custom House
The best of Gunwharf Quays' numerous eateries, this smart pub occupies an 18th-century former Royal Marine hospital. Now better-than-average bar food (think glazed ham, steak and ale pie and gourmet burgers) are served up amid its raspberry-red walls and gilt-framed mirrors.
