There’s a certain appetite that comes from a good stomp in the countryside.

Wander the Estate, take in the views and breath the fresh air before heading back to the inn.

The muddy paw shower’s ready, along with something good to eat — and if you’d rather not rush home, a room for the night.

Happy Friday from all of us at The Cotley Inn 🍸

You know what that means… another Friday Drinks with Ben.

Whether you’re joining us at The Cotley Inn or The Candlelight, we’ll be ready with your weekend favourites behind the bar.

This week, Ben is shaking up a guest-requested classic - the iconic Spicy Margarita 🌶️

The perfect cocktail to enjoy out on the terrace or in the beer garden as the weekend begins.

See you at the bar!

Chorizo & Potato Terrine - one of those dishes that’s all about patience, technique, and building layers of flavour.

We start with Koffman potatoes, peeled, washed, and finely sliced on a mandolin to create perfectly even layers.

The chorizo is then blended with garlic until it reaches a coarse breadcrumb texture before being gently cooked down to release all of its rich oils. Melted butter is added, and the mixture is folded carefully through the sliced potatoes so every layer is packed with flavour.

Everything is then layered into a parchment-lined tray and pressed firmly before being cooked slowly at 170°C until perfectly tender throughout.

Once cooked, the terrine is pressed overnight under weight to help it set beautifully.

When ready to serve, it’s portioned and deep fried until crisp and golden on the outside, whilst staying soft and rich in the centre.

At the moment, we’re serving it alongside our Spring Cod dish, although it’s a component we’ve loved using across many dishes throughout both summer and winter menus.

There’s a certain rhythm to weekends at The Cotley Inn.

It begins with tea and toast — enjoyed slowly, whether that’s tucked up in bed with the morning paper or perched at the bar like the kitchen table at home.

Unhurried, comforting, and exactly as it should be.

Come and stay with us…we’ll take care of the rest! - https://www.cotleyinn.co.uk/stay-with-us/?fbclid=PARlRTSAR5YdpleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAaffBnjxgMh1HP61nceknHwopF1zprLSW50fWqWTZHUZ9mNNdbgMqz0eEioPEQ_aem_8ldmkrUWqR9VxFWqu7hLig

It feels so satisfying to be able to create something out of something that would have otherwise been thrown away!

Reducing waste and sustainability is a huge part of our ethos, so we’re always looking at creative ways to turn by products into something special.

For this dish, we use the belly and tail end of the cod fillet — often overlooked, but packed with flavour and incredible texture.

The cod is coated in gluten-free panko breadcrumbs, seasoned with smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and onion seeds for warmth and a gentle kick of spice. It’s then fried fresh to order until crisp and golden on the outside, while staying soft and delicate in the middle.

A simple idea, done properly — where sustainability and flavour go hand in hand.

…and breathe! Hurrah you’ve made it to Friday 🥳

There are some delish things on our menu at the moment. If you haven’t tried the dressed Devon crab starter yet, then make that your mission.

Have a good one, whatever you’re up too. 🍻

Roasted fillet of cod, gently cooked and flaky, sitting alongside a crisp spiced fish finger for a bit of fun and texture on the plate.

We’ve paired it with sweet baby fennel and smoky chorizo -
a combination that brings warmth, depth, and a little Cotley comfort to the dish.
