Clam & Cork, Doncaster

Now and again, a cracking place to eat comes at us from leftfield. One of our trusted moles spotted Clam & Cork on his way through Donnie market and without any ado at all, we jumped in the car and sped down the A1. It’s everything he suggested it might be and a whole lot more; box-fresh fish and seafood served up in the simplest ways whilst sitting round a stall. Bring to mind the tapas joints of Barcelona’s La Boquera and Portugal’s Mercado de Ribeira? Yep, all that plus, if you’re lucky, Donnie Dancer with his beatbox and John Cooper Clark hairdo shimmying towards you via the big knickers stall. Welcome to Doncaster, where it’s an overcoat colder, but get over yourself and wind your scarf round one more time.
