"Seasonal and provenance-focussed before such a thing was remotely de rigeur, Franklins has been around since the late nineties and occupies a treasured spot in locals’ hearts, as much for the warm eccentricity of its ownership as the unfussy nature of St John-style dishes such as black pudding on toast and salt beef rillettes and pickles. Any questions as to the quality of the ingredients are quickly put to bed by a visit to its bountiful farm shop next door." - Isaac Parham
