Barbican Kitchen
A popular pub run by the Tanner brothers inside the Plymouth Gin distillery, listed in the Michelin Guide, focusing on local south-west meat and seafood.
Opened in 2006 by TV chefs James and Chris Tanner in the historic Plymouth Gin Distillery, also known as the Black Friars Distillery. The Michelin Guide describes it as a lively pub serving classic comfort food, including charcoal-grilled steak and dry-cured Cornish ham with eggs, chips and pineapple and tomato sauce. The Good Food Guide recommends the Peruvian green sauce mackerel, crispy-skin pork belly and sticky caramel pudding. The lunch and dinner set menus offer good value, and the restaurant is often full at weekends, so booking ahead is advised. About £30–45 per person; located on Southside Street in the Barbican.
