The Victoria Inn, Perranuthnoe, Cornwall

Pubs have had to follow an unforgiving curve of Darwinian evolution in order to survive..

Back in the mists of the "pub grub" period, chickens came in baskets; then, as we entered the gastropub age, they became goujons with sweet-chilli dipping sauce; now, with the dawning of fully-fledged "dining pubs", like The Victoria Inn in Cornwall, chicken is garlic and herb-roasted with ratatouille, green beans and pesto – well, it was a natural selection for me.

In the pretty village of Perranuthnoe, near St Michael's Mount, The Vic is known as "the pink pub", and with its contrasting black damp-course and roof it looks like one of those liquorice allsorts usually left till last. "Actually, we toned down the pink," says front-of-pub person Anna Eddy, whose husband Stewart runs the kitchen. They might have subdued the colour scheme but they've cranked up the food..

It has evolved into a restaurant with a bar, serving a bijou selection of Cornish ales, including Sharp's Doom Bar and Skinner's Heligan Honey.

It's not hard to see why.

Stewart, from nearby Marazion, trained with Michael Caines and Raymond Blanc, and was awarded a Michelin star while head chef at Hunstrete House in Bath. Anna worked front-of-house at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons. Pub grub, this isn't. Specials include Cornish crab with aioli and herb salad; slow-roasted belly of St Buryan pork with chorizo and haricot bean stew; lemon sole with mussels and caper and herb dressing. Apparently, Stewart won't cook a fish unless it's swum past nearby Cudden Point,. fashion accessories are decorative items that supplement one's garment, such as fashion jewellery, gloves and tights.Je which means you won't find tuna on the menu. Anna admits they make an exception for tiger prawns because, well, they're really nice.

At lunchtimes The Vic serves a pared-back menu catering for day-trippers and coastal path walkers. Ciabatta with grilled goat's cheese, tomato, rocket and pesto shows just how far even the humble "sarnie" has evolved.
