Harry's restaurant owner Sam Pounds is the special guest on episode 2 of the At My Table South West podcast.

Find out why a humble spatula plays such a vital and ubiquitous role in the success of this legendary venue which has been operating in #Exeter for over 30 years.

In a wide-ranging and fascinating chat with Sam we also discuss how her family-owned restaurant has survived and prospered, plus she gives her opinion on the future of hospitality including some insightful views on the rise of QSR dining and how fine dining establishments may benefit as a result.

Plus we'll have our own recommendation for a Table For 2 and a place to stay...and for '70s TV fans, a certain Ivor The Engine gets a mention!

We have a great tip for an #alcoholfreecider and hear why waiting staff saying "good choice" may not be exactly what we want to hear when dining out...
