Sun Inn Marton

This pretty stone pub opposite the village shop, dating back to the late 18th century, and run by the Gartell family, offers good food and is an oasis in a rather culinary-bleak area.

Starters such as 'Chicken Liver Paté with Onion Marmalade'; 'Grilled Cornish Sardines with Garlic & Fresh Herbs' and 'Wenlock Edge Farm Charcuterie – Bresaola, Coppa & Salami' figured on a summer menu.

Followed by 'Grilled Sand Sole with Lemon Butter Sauce'; 'Sirloin Steak with Mushroom Gratin'; 'Rabbit with Two Mustard Sauces & Prunes' and 'Duck Breast with Cherry Sauce'.

To finish, local farmhouse cheeses, or desserts such as 'Apple & Blueberry Tart'; 'Sticky Toffee Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream' and Poached Pear in Red Wine' might tempt you.

A good Bar Menu is also offered, including dishes such as 'Grilled Gammon with free-range Eggs & Chips' and 'Local Sausages with Onion Gravy & Mash'.
