Salt and Pepper cafe in Monmouth: a summer treat

SALT and Pepper in Monmouth is a delightful cafe with fresh, home cooked food.
I would highly recommend it if you find yourself in this pretty Welsh town. I met my friends, Kat and Rach, there for a sunny lunch.
There is some outdoor seating but there is plenty indoors too. They have a varied menu of sandwiches, jacket potatoes, snacks and hot food. And they also have about eight daily specials.
I went for one of these- a fish cake with tartar sauce. I was advised it would be a 15 minute wait as it was freshly cooked. It was worth the wait. The fish cake was thick and bursting with chunks of white fish and salmon, covered in a crispy breadcrumb coating and great seasoning, which made sure the fish wasn’t overbearing.
 The tartar sauce alongside it was beautifully thick and creamy with salty capers to round it off a treat. It was all just so fresh and tasty and at £6.50 a bargain.
Rach went for a bowl of nachos, with creamy guacamole, tomato and quite a strong cheese- a huge bowl. And Kat had the goat’s cheese and pear Panini with a generous portion of crisps. Both went down a treat.
