Through the archives: Joyce Molyneux, The Carved Angel, Dartmouth, Devon 1975-1999

Not for nothing was Joyce Molyneux celebrated as a leading chef. Highly acclaimed by The Good Food Guide, and the first female chef in Britain to be awarded a Michelin star (1978), the restaurant she founded and co-owned was at the forefront of modern British cooking in the 1970s and 1980s. The Carved Angel’s very first appearance in the Guide in 1975 gave notice that this was an extraordinary restaurant and it went on to become one of the most famous restaurants in the UK. Joyce Molyneux retired in 1999.

Where to eat in Exeter: Punchy street food, legendary pubs and a superb set menu

Exeter is a city encircled by tremendous rurality. Travel south, and there are prime scallops landed daily into Brixham. Head north, east or west, and you will soon arrive at rolling Dartmoor, find a small farm, or hit a keenly traversable coastline replete with cattle and sheep. It is, then, a place within easy reach of great ingredients, and in the city’s culinary landscape it is being increasingly turned into something memorable. Here, the West Country's Mark Taylor earmarks numerous establishments worth visiting.
