The Mill Tea and Dining Room, Lyme Regis

Yesterday evening we were taken out by my mother to The Mill Tea and Dining Room in Lyme Regis. See www.teaanddiningroom.co.uk
The place is very small - maybe 6 tables. The food was excellent English fare. My only criticism being that some products were used a lot. Many things on the menu used leeks for example. On the plus side, this showed imaginative use of seasonal, local produce.
I had a leek and caper starter, my mother and wife had the carbeens - rissoles made from pig trotters and pork. For the main I had stuffed chicken leg - stuffed with leeks! The others had skate with caper sauce and rolled pork belly. For the desert the ladies had lemon curd blancmange and I had warm stewed quince with vanilla ice cream. I had never had quince before - it was lovely.
Well worth visiting again I think.
