There is more to Totnes than twee teas and pub lunches if you scout around – although you need look no further than Gather, which takes its place near the bottom end of Fore Street in a room that's all light wood and voluble welcome. Harrison Brockington can be seen through the kitchen hatch, hard at work producing impressively presented contemporary dishes of genuine flair. Menus founded on Devon foraging are a lure, especially in mushroom season, and the 'tasters' extend to a vegetable version that might embrace hedgerow tortellini in velouté or a wild spring vegetable tartlet topped with a poached egg and béarnaise sauce. The style is one of tenacious simplicity, but brought off with a high degree of polish – as in a cider broth of St Austell mussels with wild sea herbs. Main dishes bring satisfaction in the shape of locally farmed duck on a bed of petits pois à la française or gurnard in crab bisque with asparagus. A separate cheese cour...

A separate cheese course might pair Ragstone goat's cheese with a brioche-encased fig roll, ahead of something sweet – perhaps rhubarb vacherin in its own consommé with whipped Chantilly cream. A short wine list does its job.
