    Restaurants that serve just fish with nothing at all to satisfy meat eaters are few and far between, but we LOVE them. Bure River Cottage at Horning is one of these. Inspector X has been here several times but for me it was a first and after just eating the starter - hot baked crab with chili, ginger and coconut, I wanted to be best friends with the person who cooked it. The chef Abbie and her partner Nigel at front of house after putting the children to bed upstairs, are assisted by charming young staff bringing the menu blackboards and the orders to the table. We had the hot crab, a cold dressed crab with herb mayo and a smoked mackerel pate to start. Then monkfish with salsa rosso, turbot with brown shrimps and samphire, and whole lemon sole with butter and parsley, all served with a shared selection of fresh veg and simple new potatoes. Heavenly food! The desserts were good too; white chocolate cheesecake, chocolate pot and coffee pannacotta, all with ice cream and a glass of South African straw wine to share. Dedication to the sourcing, preparing and cooking of an interesting selection of local fresh fish is a joy to behold - and there was a full restaurant on a Tuesday night beholding it here.
