William Sitwell found himself in “Wivey, gateway to Exmoor”, where self-taught Cypriot chef Tim Zekki has created a “gorgeous and charming flavour bomb of a place” in his tiny, 30-cover restaurant.
Pursuing a philosophy of “more is more”, he serves small plates “of no fixed abode with influences from Greece and Asia, the Middle East and Spain, for which he gathers local ingredients (Longhorn beef from a nearby farm, seafood from Brixham), cooks them – then does his best to squirt and drizzle over every sauce, it seems, he’s ever come across from Tokyo to Nicosia.”
The meal kicked off with a typical example, wonton crackers with mackerel pâté and ponzu. “Wow, these were moreish.”
