The 29 best cheap eats in Ilfracombe

A lovely lunch stop in the centre of Ilfracombe. Plenty to choose from on the menu, including vegetarian and vegan options. I had the crayfish spaghetti with home-made olive bread, which was delicious! Highly recommend.

Fantastic family-run restaurant with stunning traditional Italian dishes. My wife and I called in today whilst passing and we were not disappointed. Thank you, we will be returning!

Amazing Italian! A must visit when in Ilfracombe! Very welcoming restaurant with nice, friendly staff. The food and service is top notch! Highly recommend the tiramisu! Would definitely return.

A lovely, friendly Italian restaurant with delicious food. Staff were lovely and chatty. Reasonably priced too. Just think the restaurant itself needs a bit of a revamp but apart from that, I loved it all!

We had the most delicious food at this restaurant, served hot, well timed and with enthusiasm. The owners and staff were both welcoming and attentive. From start to finish 😗👌🏻 Highly recommend

Fantastic food, impeccable service and the cosiest atmosphere. My partner and I went for dinner this evening and I had the BEST mushroom linguine I have ever had, he had the chicken and bolognese and was very impressed. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Excellent value for money too, very reasonable price for starters, mains and drinks each.

A wonderful, family-run Italian restaurant! The decor is amazing – you immediately feel like you’re in Italy. The food is excellent, with fresh seafood and a wide variety of dishes – everything was absolutely delicious. The staff are lovely and very attentive, creating a warm, homely atmosphere. You can tell they truly love what they do. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Italian flavors and hospitality!

Absolutely amazing customer service: Personal and attentive without being intrusive. The food was out of this world and priced very well. It is really nice to be able to keep ordering as the mood takes you keeping it really relaxed and friendly. The cocktails were proper drinks made to order and didnt just taste like fruit juice with a shot in it.

Definitely the best food in Ilfracombe! Dawn and Clive have created an atmosphere which welcomes you from beginning to end. Authentically cooked tapas that offered a wide variety of choices for both carnivores and vegetarians and a cocktail list that delivers with every drink. Will definitely be visiting again, thank you for such a lovely evening!

I can honestly say this was one of the best meals we have had. The staff were so attentive and friendly. When we arrived they had even had a bowl of water ready for our pup, some treats on a dish and a blanket. So so thoughtful, they really went the extra mile! The cocktails were absolutely amazing, some of the best I’ve tasted for a long time. The food was excellent, full of flavour, nice and hot and you could just tell that the dishes were made with love. The atmosphere was lovely and the restaurant were beautifully decorated with a traditional Spanish feel. I would love to come back if I lived closer but was a great place to visit on our little trip. Couldn’t recommend enough, deffo one to visit if you’re in/around Ilfracombe! Thank you so much The Terrace Tapas xx

Amazing atmosphere, very friendly staff and great food and sangria. If your in Ilfracombe, would 100% recommend this is one of your stops. Very easy to book online and the food is freshly cooked to order.

Perfect ❤️ beautiful place Tapas outstanding, We had everything that we liked don’t be fooled there’s plenty for 2 in each dish we had 7 dishes. Staff accommodating we booked the terrace but changed our minds once seated moved in doors which was ok but a dark area . Cherry Bakewell cocktail very nice 😊

Lovely restaurant. All the tapas dishes were cooked to perfection. Well worth a visit.

Booked for our anniversary. Fabulous food, staff so polite and friendly. Having lived in Spain, the food was authentic. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

I’ve never been big on fish & chips – too greasy, too heavy… just not for me. But this place? Game changer. Beautifully fresh fish with a light, crispy coating (not a drop of oil in sight!) and golden chips that were spot on. It was so good, we came back again on our last day – couldn’t resist! If you’re anywhere near North Devon, make sure to try it. I know I’ll be back next time I’m around!

Perfectly cooked fish and chips. Light, crisp batter and nicely cooked chips. We sat in the small restaurant area as we did not want to fight off the many seagulls around the harbour. The tables were clean and the service was good. Highly recommend this very nice fish and chips shop.

I’ve come here for the past two decades! Nothing can beat genuinely freshly caught cod or haddock! In my humble opinion, this establishment sells the best fish and chips in the whole country - never soggy, never over-salted, nice and flaky. Added bonus is it’s a family run business. Take away or eat in it’s own air conditioned restaurant at the back of the shop.

Stayed in mortehoe a week ago and visited Lynbay fish and chips as been recommended. Absolutely first class food have a large seating area as well. Plus they have a large selection of gluten free food as well even gluten free batter. Excellent service very helpful staff who are a credit to the owner. Will definitely be popping back in the new year. Set in Ilfracombe harbour great setting for a meal either sit in or takeaway.

1 cod & chips, 1 haddock & chips. Both fish lacked flavour although the haddock was better. Moreover, the batter was hard in places, but soggy in others. It was very greasy. The chips tasted ok but were anaemic looking. The last culinary insult was using coloured acetic acid instead of vinegar. Foul.

Used to be a must-stop… now it’s just a must-skip. We’ve been coming to Lynbay for years - nothing beats sitting on the harbour with fish and chips, watching the world go by. But after our visit recently, that tradition’s been well and truly battered. The portion of fish was no bigger than a seagull’s guilt, and for the price, you’d think it had been line-caught by Poseidon himself, hand-battered by Gordon Ramsay, and served on a golden plate. Sadly, it’s clear the prices have gone up with the tide — inflated for tourists and leaving locals like us feeling a bit fried. If you’re craving proper value and a portion you don’t need a magnifying glass for, head towards Braunton and get your money’s worth at a certain well-known chippy that still believes in portion sizes and seasoning. Lynbay, you were a part of our family tradition but it looks like it’s time to cast our net elsewhere.

Arrived to ilfracombe early evening after a day out in Lynton. Got a table straight away and order taken quickly. In no time at all large plates of high quality, pale but crispy (well cooked and low sugar content) chips and expertly battered ocean fresh cod were delivered to our table by the friendly staff. Great variety of sides and drinks. Not the cheapest, but well worth the money. Thanks so much! Can’t recommend enough!

We called in without booking on a Wednesday lunch time. A few tables free but filling up by the time we left. My wife had the sea bass with new potatoes which she enjoyed. I had seen a photo of the fish stew in another review so I went for that. I was expecting a really deep fish flavour but it was just a simple tomato sauce with just one type of fish and a few mussels. It comes served with 4 bits of a small baguette. Portion sizes are on the small side. Service was prompt and good. Wish I had gone for the lobster as it looked amazing on a table near ours.

This is only a small restaurant, café sized really, but what fabulous food. The owners are a couple who are apparently the (highly talented) chefs whilst front of house are two lovely, funny and very efficient ladies. We shared a dish of olives and a plate of scallops, then had mussels in a creamy sauce and fish stew. We wanted pudding but the generous helpings made that impossible! Everything was precisely spiced and delicious. All the produce (well, apart from the olives!) is locally sourced, the fish landed yards away earlier that day. It may be on the menu, but if it wasn't caught, it isn't cooked. Oh and a Bellini and a Combe Cooler added a little something to the lunch.

Amazing food! The owner Tara makes everyone feel welcome. My sister said best squid starter she's had. Recommend the Mediterranean Fish Stew, rich and full of flavour

We had a really delicious lunch here. We actually stayed longer in Ilfracombe just to eat here, and we’re so glad we did. The fish was cooked to perfection! The servers were all super friendly, gregarious and welcoming. We will definitely be returning as soon as we can 😊

Me and my husband visited this lovely Lobster and fish restaurant yesterday. We arrived to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary and found this little gem. Both ladies serving us were lovely and couldn't do enough for us. Moved a table into the sunshine for us and we're so friendly and funny. The lobster was out of this world and my husband really enjoyed the fish and chips. The drinks were gorgeous too! We will definitely return when we come back to Devon and I would 1000000% recommend to anyone visiting Ilfracombe.

A fantastic spot for a delicious lunch. The service was outstanding and the flavours were second to none. Amongst us we had the mussels, dressed crab & Mediterranean stew couldn’t fault a single thing. Would highly recommend.

Excellent experience. Friendly staff created a comfortable, relaxing, family environment with a nautical vibe. The service was friendly and efficient but the seafood was fabulous, fresh and incredibly tasty and moreish. I had seared scallops and seabass. My wife had chowder with bacon, potatoes and salad. My son had the mussels and crusty bread. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and can totally see why other reviews are glowing. Highly recommended.

We visited S&P Fish Shop on Friday of last week. We had some lunch and had also ordered the Devon Dozen, and the Spectacular Seafood Platter to take back to our villa in Saunton Sands. I cannot recommend S&P Fish Shop highly enough. The staff are really friendly and welcoming, and the food....it was superb!! My parents said that the oysters were the best they have eaten outside of Boston, and the seafood platter was actually spectacular. Lunch was delicious and just what we needed after a 3 hour drive from Hampshire. If you love seafood and you get a chance to visit Ilfracombe then do not miss out on a visit to this place!!

The seafood platter for two was absolutely fantastic, plenty of food for me, my wife and our son. We all tried and enjoyed everything especially the crab and lobster. It was a cold and wet day when we visited and the small seating area only had two couples eating, so we're were sceptical about the good reviews we had seen. The food we saw looked good, so we decided to give it a go. It was the best decision we made! The food was fantastic and worth every penny!

Such an excellent find for delicious and fresh seafood! My husband and I were looking for a seafood restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. We saw this online and booked it and we weren't disappointed. It is only a small café, with limited tables, and outside only. It's right on the harbour side, which was a bit chilly on a cooler day in summer - so take/ wear layers. The staff were friendly and service was really good and fast. The shellfish supreme platter for 2 was amazing and a huge portion. I would absolutely recommend trying it and we'll definitely go back!

STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED!! We saw all the good comments on google so we went! But felt more like a tourist trap! Had the supreme seafood platter for two (£49.xx) and half dozen of Rock oyster (£16.xx) The half lobster and the crab was good. But apart from that the oyster wasnt great i guess just not at the right season. Its july when we went. But the most disappointing thing is the platter, on one side of the dish you could badly taste the (cleaning spray all over it, you literally felt like you are eating the detergent or sort which was extremely horrible); we reported to the lady there and we were the only customer there and the instant response we got was “we don’t know anything about it” while she was the only person there serving! So to conclude, we didn’t even get an apologise, and nothing were done! So we just left with half of the dish left! (Despite this is a family run business and we saw the owner just walking around) but still nothing were put in action, no feedback whatsoever) Strongly NOT recommend!

Busy place, we advise booking. We ordered some oysters and the S&P seafood sharing platter for 3 to 4 people, it was divine, we loved it and as we didn't manage to eat all we took the rest home..there was enough for another meal.. definitely good value for money.

A delicious lunch. All very fresh seafood and reasonably priced. Just wished they had an actual restaurant instead of the marquee as it was cold!

Stopped by here for some fresh peeled prawns, they were gorgeous!!! Weren’t sure how long they would keep for and unfortunately some went to waste, was such a BIG portion. I would definitely pop by again 🍤 🎣 🐟

As soon as we entered, the hostess was so friendly, informative and inviting, I'm really indecisive and she was really happy to advise me on what to have. The Hake was to die for! We ended up having 3 courses and coffee! We will definitely be back next time we're in Ilfracombe and would 100% recommend going here. It's not flashy or obvious compared to some of the other restaurants but so happy we found it 😊 😍

Outstanding food & hospitality second to none. Eating here & talking with Sharon was one of the highlights of our cycle trip along the north coast. Highly recommend!

Nice lady who help with my headache with paracetamol, good food would like bit more potatoes. Fish was fresh & stake with pepper sauce very nice -husbend of lady who own it studied sauces abroad so he is expert with it :)

Fabulous little find only bottle beer but good choice staff are amazing helpful and friendly dog friendly food is limited but freshly well cooked coped with my food allergies really worth a visit

Delightful food and service husband and wife team with family assisting

An absolute gem of a restaurant. Cosy, unpretentious, warm and inviting. Great service. The best of local produce cooked with skill. Delicious. A good wine list to go with the food. Thoroughly recommended. Thank you it was fabulous.

Brilliant meal and atmosphere. Stayed for a few drinks after the meal and had a good chat with the husband/chef and wife/hostess. They really made it a great night for us. I will be going back if I'm ever in the area.

A divine, independent coffee house, situated at the top end of the high street, opposite Morrisons Daily. You'll get the best latte ever made here & the cakes are to die for! I can highly recommend the ginger cake, carrot cake & Peanut butter brownie, all fabulously delicious. The staff are lovely & service comes with a smile. We can highly recommend a visit here, especially if looking for a cosy place for a pit stop.

A lovely little cafe, we had the steak focaccia and the flatbread platter which were both lovely. They serve Origin speciality coffee and seemed very enthusiastic about it, with a chalk board to explain what speciality is, big plus points. This place also seemed very child friendly, with a changing table, toys and books for kids and a variety of seating options. Overall, can't wait to return.

Excellent food and really good prices. Definitely recommend. Shame we were only visiting from Bristol otherwise it would be a regular for us.

The food was great, the staff was friendly and pleasant. We sat next to main room. Everything was cooked to perfection. Prices are very reasonable. Cake slices were delicious. Kids loved them. Toilet need some work. Coffee and sandwiches were delicious. Best cafe in Ilfracombe North Devon. Highly recommended

Great coffee, but a limited menu. The coffee and smoothies were lovely. It’s just a bit restricted for choice on breakfast and lunch options as it’s more of a cafe than restaurant. I think some of the photos on here are a bit misleading re. food choices. Nonetheless enjoyed our coffee, service was friendly and would return. Editing due to the response received by the owner. I won’t be bullied into giving 5 stars.

I visited on a couple of occasions whilst living in Ilfracombe over winter. One of the multiple cafes on the high street this cafe is quite hard to see into as it suffers from condensation on the interior full windows, which makes it difficult to see inside and thus assess if there is room to sit. Once inside there cafe is split into 2 small halves, with the cash desk flanked by cake displays, with chalk writing detailing what cakes are available that day and at what price. On every visit, the staff were friendly but seemed overwhelmed/inexperienced and anything ordered from the menu took some time to arrive as there seemed a lot of multi-tasking going on. The menu was very poor in terms of visibility and I've attached some pictures to illustrate how faint the writing was. Seemed to attract a younger clientele maybe based on being associated with the young people running the cafe. Unfortunately both the savoury food and cakes were quite underwhelming in taste and texture. Given the competition nearby it's hard to justify a visit.

After reading the recommendations and a local telling us of the lovely lunch menu we decided to meet friends here for lunch. Plenty of comfortable seating areas sofas and coffee tables or dining tables. We went to order to be told half the ingredients weren't available. No salad, limited ingredients. We ordered. Coffee showed up with incorrect milk. 2 meals showed up and then the rest of us had to wait nearly 35 -40 minutes for the remainder. It was only a couple of toasties and a child meal. We had to approach the counter 3 times to follow up on the food. The food was ok.really disappointed and won't be returning or recommending.

We visited The Olive Room on Thursday evening (April 2025) where we experienced the most amazing Sea Shanty Singers! Unique, fun and hugely entertaining. Superb food, tasty locally brewed beers, dog friendly and charming hosts. We will be back next Thursday for sure. Worth the drive from South Molton to Ilfracombe. Thank you for an awesome experience, B, L and T. From S. Molton, Devon.

The Olive Room is a nice little spot, you can easily miss it walking down Fore Street! We had a delicious vegetarian sharing platter here with wine – the chef was kind enough to make their sharing platter vegetarian by replacing a couple of items. It was a good amount of food too (but perhaps there could have been a bit more bread) and fairly priced. We'll be going again 👌🏻

Cozy place, good wine, beer list, great food and friendly staff. We loved pork and paprika goulash with rice.

We really enjoyed the feeling of this place, ! Very social with lots of ambiance and charm . They let us come in even tho it was very crowded and they knew we werent going to eat . Earlier they saw us looking and were very welcoming . My husband can't drink a lot because of his afib but I got a couple of glasses of wine and did not as specify the size of glass so ended up apparently having the medium size which was a bit more than I meant to spend , but I didn't mind because they were very nice and the music was out of this world -and free ! Plus a very tasty choice of wines .It's very small for a music venue which makes it cozy , but also means it's hard to order . I think they might have their regulars but we didn't feel excluded. I applaud what they are trying to do and wish them much luck.! We hope to make it to the sea shanty night on Thurs and are sad we missed the Sunday afternoon music . The live jazz was organic and sublime !

Best curry I've ever had. We went on a Thursday, which was the night that the Sea Shanty Choir sang. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME holiday experience 5 stars is not enough Thanks Sindy and Ian

Amazing food and highly recommended. New menu every week and many different local achohol brands to choose from. Sea shanty choir every Thursday which is amazing. Lots of fun and many laughs.

very very loud for surrounding houses. couldn’t even hear my own tv or sleep when i had to get up early for work the next day. need to be more considerate with the banging on the tables

A very very nice spoons indeed..fantastic location..food was excellent..views are perfect...DEFINITELY WORTH A VISIT

5 star spoons .4th visit to this one .rooftop garden terrace .lovely tiling in the loos .always busy but staff seem to have it all under control ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️🥄✅

Spoons breakfast! Eggs Benedict was actually very good. Bargain breakfast. Quickly served after ordered. The blush wine is perfectly chilled. Such a great price. We met with friends here for a wedding at the weekend and used the pub as a base to meet up before and next day. Lovely staff, absolutely spotless toilets and plenty of seats. The tables are quickly cleaned and not sticky. The outside tables are great and there are covers on some of it rains. Lovely views of the hills to be seen from the front windows

It's conveniently located along themain street, sightseeing and the theatre The building is very beautiful decorated and plenty of seatings Staff are very efficient and welcoming during our visit Definitely a great place to have a pint or grab a bite after exploring the harbour front and town center

Great place it was packed last Friday with a great ale a 2 pounds 30p associate marie or moira is the nicest staff member there her customer skills are fantastic kind and attentive she gets 12 out of 10 every Friday I come in my job is stressful and she makes my day thank you

Standard Wetherspoons with very nice food served fairly quickly after ordering on App. Unfortunately this pub echos badly due to roof design and played havoc with my hearing aids. Also the back left side of pub as you come in ,is very dark. Friendly staff. It may have one a design award but it is just to open like a canteen.

Surely the best view from a Wetherspoons and the best rooftop terrace .staff friendly ,great service , food really good .

A hidden gem! Our 3rd visit to this lovely pub tucked away off the busy main area. Nice outside seating area where we sat with our 2 dogs. Bowls of water provided, perfect after a long beach walk and thirsty pups. The food on previous visits was very good and this time it was the same. Ordered 2 ultimate burgers and wow such good value for money. The quality of the beef was exceptional. I had to ask for a takeout box as it was so big I couldn’t finish it all. Worth a try if you’re in the area. We already can’t wait to return.

Lovely pub a little out of the way and could easily be overlooked. Nice dog friendly bar with a good range of beers, we only went in for a drink so not able to review the food although it looked incredible. Definitely worth finding this pub as it is a hidden gem!

Friendly service, Great food & lovely atmosphere as always! Thanks for a fab birthday meal last night, see you next year!

We always visit the beautiful gem in woolacombe after discovering it nearly a decade ago now. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere of the place is relaxed & welcoming. The staff are amazing! Helpful in every way even during busiest of periods. Would definitely recommend as a great place to eat oh & the cocktails wow 👍🍸😋😊

Tucked away just off the main strip, The Jube is a bit of a hidden gem in Woolacombe. We went on a Friday night, so it was understandably busy, and we had to wait a little while for a table, but it was totally worth it. The vibe is spot on. Relaxed, friendly, and perfect whether you’re just grabbing a quiet drink or catching up over food with friends. Our waiter was brilliant really attentive despite how packed it was. The food took a little time to come out as they work from a small kitchen, but honestly, when it arrived, we got it. Everything was so fresh and the portions were huge. Properly off-the-charts good. You can tell they care about quality. If you’re in the area, don’t miss this spot. It’s the kind of place that feels laid-back but still delivers in a big way.

A Regrettably Disappointing Visit – Be Warned I feel it's important to share our experience to hopefully prevent others from encountering the same frustration. Our recent visit was, regrettably, very disappointing. First and foremost, the wait times were outrageous. We were initially told a 50-minute wait for a table of two, with no option to book in advance. After nearly an hour of waiting, we were told our table would be ready "soon." However, once we were finally able to order, we faced an additional 1 hour and 15 minute wait for our food to arrive. The atmosphere was equally problematic. If you're hoping to eat outside, be prepared for a constant stream of chain-smokers. Inside, the noise level was akin to a nightclub, with blaring music and shouting making it incredibly difficult to hold a conversation, even with those at our own table. The bar staff also seemed overwhelmed and barely acknowledged customers. It was evident that the staff are overworked and severely mismanaged. They appeared to be receiving conflicting instructions, leading to a chaotic environment. (Kudos to the front-of-house staff member who was trying their best to manage the huge influx of people.) Lastly, let's talk about the prices, which are frankly extortionate. It's as if we were In London ! the cost of both food and drinks was astronomically high, far exceeding the average prices found at other local restaurants

Lovely pub hidden in the back streets, great seating inside and out. Quiet when we visited but would imagine that it would get full in the summer holiday months. Dog friendly. Really tasty, well presented food. Plenty of choices on the menu. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great little find and would thoroughly recommend.

Food: Good food. Chips could've been better doused with salt and vinegar. Good portion sizes, wrapped in your classic paper and packaging. I had a battered sausage which tasted nice with the outside crispy. Photos below Service/experience: I did a takeout experience, and haven't tried sitting. Not overly impressed with the The Dolphin, purely because there was quite a long wait. I don't know if this is consistent or just a one off. I was waiting along with 2-3 other groups for our orders. It took around 15 minutes to be ready. However the exterior looks great with the dark blue colours, and chrome ornament. If eating outside beware of the seagulls and keep food shielded. Photos below Thanks Dolphin team

We were seated quickly with friendly attentive staff. The food was too notch. I would highly recommend the seafood platter. And where else can you get a pint of peroni in a fish and chip shop. Will 100% be returning and highly recommend.

Popped into The Dolphins for a fish and chips lunch and left very happy. Portions are generous: long fillets that spill over the plate and a hearty pile of proper chippy chips. The battered fish was golden and crisp with a steamy, flaky interior; the batter wasn’t greasy and stayed crunchy to the last bite. The grilled fish option was a pleasant surprise too—nicely seasoned, moist, and served with a fresh side salad and lemon, great if you want something lighter

Lovely chippy overlooking the harbour, I remember this place from when I was a kid my grandad always used to like this one and you can buy fresh seafood from a takeaway counter at the front, but sit down dining is great too with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Try and get the table neat the wimdow if it's available. Very good food.

Straight in and seated by a lovely waitress. Got our drinks straight away and waited for about 10 - 15 minutes for freshly cooked cod and chips. I had garden peas my husband had mushy peas. The fish just flaked away and melted in your mouth. The chips were perfectly cooked and the mushy peas and garden peas where a normal green! (Not dayglow green like some chippies!) lovely vibe and clean, dog friendly too! Would dine here again without a doubt. Thank you for the lovely experience and food.

Lovely chippy on the harbour at Ilfracombe. We liked it so much we went twice during our stay. I'm vegan and my partner is not but there was plenty of choice for us both. I had the sweet potato curry on one occasion and the vegan fish alternative on the other, both were lovely. My partner had the grilled salmon which she loved so much she had it twice! Staff on both occasions were great, really chatty and funny - especially the manager who was hilarious. Restaurant was clean and tidy, and both visits the place was busy. Food came quickly and was delicious. If I lived in Ilfracombe I would be here regularly, 5* all round.

The food is great here and I have had several visits now. I have several family members who are gluten intolerant. They have a Gluten Free menu which is great as many fish n chip shops are so hard to find that serve this. For those who are GF they also do GF sauces like curry and gravy.

We were walking down the beach front towards Woolacombe when we smelt the pleasant aroma of curry wafting up the cliff. This was enough to whet our appetite. Let’s not get carried away, this is takeaway food from a beach cafe, there’s nothing gourmet about it. However, it’s good value for money, the setting is amazing and the food very tasty. Overall I would recommend a visit and I am pleased to rate this establishment at 4 stars.

Can't beat a Sri Lankan curry takeaway on the beach. They've kept it to a simple, winning strategy - choice of 2 curries either meat (usually chicken) or veg and two portion sizes - adults or kids. Tasty food served in a delightful spot.

Pretty much perfect. A lovely little location, partially sheltered by the cliffs and with just four tables in front of the shed-type building. It's all lifted up over the shingle and shell-fragment beach, overlooking the water between the cliffs and slate monoliths upon which tourists climb for a dramatic panoramic. To sit there and eat really feels like being on holiday. As for the food, it's very good. The Argentinian ciabatta with beef, onions, peppers and more was absolutely delicious. We went back on the same day for the Sri Lankan curry, which wasn't presented so well but was very tasty; well balanced spices and perfectly crunchy veg. Can't recommend highly enough if you're in the area.

One of those special little independent places that offers great tasty food with one of the best views you'll get anywhere. Perfect for quick lunch or Sri Lankan curry night. Think we got here just as the season is ending buy just in time thanks!

Super friendly, great setup and one if the best veg curries I've ever had! Can't wait to visit again next time we're on holiday that way!

So delicious! Such a nice relaxing spot for a bit of dinner. It started to rain a little whilst we were there, but they soon got the umbrellas out and it was so cosy. A holiday highlight!

Every year we make a visit to the Barracane Beach Cafe a must when we do our annual staycation to North Devon. This is because we love the food (so delicious) and the atmosphere is chilled and relaxed at the beach ( very family friendly and dog friendly). Each year gets better sitting and watching the sunset whilst having our meal and I cannot recommend this experience enough after a day of surfing/bodyboarding or other activities in the area Keep it up and I look forward to visiting again next year!

Stopped here yesterday for a drink in the sunshine & decided to have lunch as the food being brought out looked nice. We got a drink & sat out on the raised seating area overlooking the sea which is brilliant. We ordered 4 fish & chips which looked lovely when brought out, but we were very disappointed as the fish was tasteless & mushy when cut open. It was obviously frozen fish, not fresh which we found strange being where it was situated, along with 12 chips at £15 we thought could of been alot better. Service, staff, drinks & views brilliant, but on our experience food very disappointing.

We were warned against going here, but ended up here anyway. Turns out that the warning was correct. We had jacket potatoes that were dry as flour, the fish finger sandwich (that they did refund) tasted off, the best thing was the burger, juicy and tasty. Service was reasonable and the atmosphere was enjoyable, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend the food. Thatcher’s hazy was very nice though.

Ordered the chicken Goujons and dirty beans, nothing dirty about the can of Tesco beans and the chicken was plain tasteless battered chicken, Tescos Goujons are better, sloppy burger had cold chilli, fish and chips had brown peas and another burger meant to have halloumi but had chicken instead, onion rings were soggy and tasteless. Would not recommend at all, avoid at all cost basic menu not even done right. McDonald’s cooks are better then there so called chefs

Visited around 6ish on Saturday and was told no capacity for food despite there being seating. Could see that the staff were looking a bit stressed though. Went into the bar and had some drinks, the bar staff were really nice and welcoming, and one of the ladies working there helped introduce my daughter to the pub cats. Nice place!

Just eaten here with my family. Excellent staff/service. Basic menu but the food looked and tasted homemade, 3 of us had burgers and they were delicious. My youngest has a severe sesame allergy and the catered above and beyond for this. Thanks

Lovely ambiance with music and friendly people. Staff great and food good. My plus was the outside terrace which in the brilliant weather I had overlooking the channel was a bonus. I am a solo traveller and visited twice. Great.

Amazing food … Brilliant land lady … Can’t wait to try more of the Menu on our next visit to Ilfracombe !!!

Lovely food. Nice pub friendly staff.

Great food and amazing views of the sea. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere and decor. Food is great and amazing selection of drinks.

Friendly staff, nice food, yet a lack of information on the website. The menu on offer at the moment is heavily reduced, they are currently not offering starters or desserts and a smaller selection of mains than advertised on the website. There was also no mention of a reduced menu when booking. A reduced menu is completely understandable due to staff shortages, however it would be nice to know beforehand. Other than that, very nice food.

They got skittles, darts and pool table, let’s go!

Great, child friendly pub. Nice staff and locals. Good food and relaxed but not your run of the mill menu. A little more than average. Recommend the Belgium waffle in maple syrup!

Really lovely burgers, the chicken burger came with two options- either grilled or fried breadcrumb. Came with onion rings and a decent portion of chips. Tasty though. Staff were friendly and pleasant, very attentive. Overall cost was slightly on the pricey side, but as we were visiting for the first time and possibly the last- worth it. The menu has a good variety also

Stopped at Hele beach for a quick lunch. Plenty of outdoor space in the sun at midday (open time) on a Friday. Chicken burger was very good, moist, big chicken breast. I was told the burger was also good. Only had soft drinks so can’t comment on alcohol. Area outside could be made to look a bit nicer, they were people putting up parasols and moving furniture around. About 9 outdoor wooden picnic benches and also some rattan style seats with tables. Inside and outside looked clean. Would return.

We had fish and chips with a curry sauce delivered. Steaming hot and it was fantastic. Large fish and large chips more than enough for 2. First fish and chips since we have been down here and we have been living here for 4 months, food was fabulous portions were amazing and everything tasted fresh and not greasey. Wow we will be ordering from you again. Amazing food . Thank you

Ordered 2 x cod with 1 large chips and 1 small chips also a cheeseburger for my 6 year old. The fish was lovely along with the batter. Chips were equally as good and the large portion of chips that was served was definitely a large portion which is great! We've been to the dolphin down the road which was mediocre and this place is fantastic compared so we will definitely use maddys from now on. A brilliant fish n chip shop.

Friendly staff, excellent fish and chips, and clotted cream on my Apple pie 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻. Best dessert menu I've ever seen. (Also they serve beer to go with your fish and chips)

Old school chippy with some great food! I got the haddock fish and chips and it was so nice! Crispy batter and juicy fish. The chips super nice too. Fishcake very nice too. All the ladies working here are lovely and friendly. I dont understand people complaining about the price (my F&C was 13.50) when now all chippy sell it for not less of 16£, so for me the price is very fair too. Nothing to complain at all. Thank ladies ❤️

10/10!! We had a pie and fish & chips. The fish batter was perfect and cooked to perfection, light and golden brown, not too thick, with a slice of lemon. Great service, lovely people who work there. We ate in although we tend to get a takeaway and we’ll do it again. Keep up the great work!

Not a very fish and chips person but since we were by the coast we thought we'd have some nice fresh fish. Looked in Google for somewhere nice to eat and found Maddy's. Went there and didn't convince me from the outside but decided to give it a go. What a good choice!!! Best fish and chips I've ever tried, 0 oily, chips were perfect, fish was so crunchy, a lot of food so if you're hungry this is your place. The place looks a bit old but it's lovely and the waitress was so friendly. Would recommend 100%!!

Nice, typical seaside fish and chips plaice, haha. Service was quick, social distancing measures in effect. Good menu and generous portions, though plaice was undercooked and oily. Overall good experience nonetheless. High chair also provided, sanitised

Love this pub. Had the best pint of cider here a few years ago on an epic walk and keep coming back and it doesn’t disappoint. Some good zero options as well as tasty food. A bit of a hidden gem away from the masses that descend on Woolacombe, Ilfracombe and Croyde nearby. Love this area.

Fantastic pub We stopped here via the Brit stop app in our campervan it’s a beautiful pub in the village of Lee a short walk from the sea with beautiful views. Me and my son had the venison burger he had a couple of cokes and I had the nitro black otter stout fantastic pint staff are friendly and helpful it’s a proper village pub will definitely be back

A short diversion from the coastal path, so I arrived on foot. You'd not notice this pub if you weren't looking for it, but you can hear the buzz from the lane so you know it's there. When you walk round the back to find a way in, you discover it's a real hive of activity. The beer is excellent, the outside seating surrounded by greenery. I fixed the wobbly table for you with a little piece of stone from your wall. Didn't eat but will return with my partner and get the ploughman's. Toilets upstairs, though small, are clean. A short walk down the lane brings you to the bay, which looks well worth investigating. I rejoined the path, and seals were spotted bathing just a short distance further on.

Loved it! Off the beaten track, a good standard of pub grub. Some quite inventive. I had a Mexican style bean chillie with nachos, very tasty. A couple of local ales on together with the usual ciders and lagers.

A truly beautiful pub with excellent food. Genuinely one of a kind. Attended The Grampus Inn with my wife and 1 year old son earlier today. Food was fantastic, I had a lovely steak sandwich. Would highly recommend. Drank a pale ale and some cider, both excellent. Staff were friendly. Would recommend 5/5.

Great little country pub, very simple menu but good quality ingredients. I had the ham egg and chips gluten free, it was great, nice crunchy chips. When I asked about gf, the owner came out and talked to me himself, lively chap.

Always pop in when I'm in North Devon cycling and walking. Always friendly 👍😊

Travelling over 200 miles to North Devon was worth it just to experience the cream tea at Nelly May’s Parlour. After an underwhelming experience at Sandleighs Tea Room, we were so overjoyed at finding and experiencing this quaint little place. The decor is interesting, warm and cosy and all covid and hygiene measures are in place and enforced. The array of wonderful cakes are home made by Nelly Mays husband as well as the warm and freshly baked scones, clotted cream and jam. They also serve proper tea in proper China. Nelly May is friendly and good for a chat but also knows how to let you savour and enjoy the delights you’ve ordered, which no doubt will leave you speechless anyway. Even the bathroom is clean and well decorated with lovely hand wash and hand cream. They really have thought of everything! I urge you, make the effort to have cream tea at Nelly May’s Parlour. Don’t go anywhere else. You won’t be sorry!

Perfect friendly and homely. Beautiful breakfast. Great tea. Stephanie is really lovely and very informative. It’s like popping round to your aunts for breakfast but better.

Warm friendly staff. All home made cakes, breads and jams. Had the full cream tea which was great.

Olde Worlde characterful tea room, serving light lunches & wonderful cream teas. Lovely personal, friendly service, & presentation. Highly recommended

Best scone I've ever had! Gooseberry jam, clotted cream on warm ginger scone, to die for! Cakes are divine also

Lovely tea room with artisan breads, great food and really nice atmosphere and amazing cream tea, plus home made jams for sale, delicious!

Proper old-school tea house with doilies and fine china. Cream tea was excellent and the warm scones were gorgeous.

Delicious food - everything we ate was delicious. Superb cocktails - so good we drank waaay too many. Great decor - the ceiling decorations have inspired my plans for home decoration. Awesome staff - accommodated us amazingly. An Ilfracombe jewel to be appreciated. Will definitely go again. Peace.✌️

A wonderful small restaurant full of passion and a delicious and authentic menu. It would be good to see more Vegan dishes actually on the menu, but there are many dishes that can be prepared to a Vegan recipe - so there are choices - and they are prepared with love. We have had several meals here and the are always great - fantastic atmosphere and brilliant service from Hannah.

What a wonderful place. It's small so you have to book well in advance. The atmosphere is cosy and very friendly, the cocktails are consistently great and the food is delicious. We had a lovely time. Thanks!

Great homemade pizza's with lovely toppings .Great service and lovely quirky restaurant . Thank you.

Wow!! What a lovely place, small with bags of atmosphere. Made to feel really welcome and the food was amazing. We had tapas and the flavours were incredible. Would recommend to anyone to try this local family restaurant. The cocktails were pretty good too 😀

We were visiting Ilfracombe and popped in here for some dinner and loved it. A wonderful atmosphere and welcome and were made to feel like friends rather than customers. The food was wonderful, if we had the room we would have had more tapas dishes for sure! We did the next best thing and re-booked for later in the week before we went home. Loved it.

First time we tried this place and we would definitely return. We enjoyed most if the food we tried,tapas style dishes. It would have been nice if the waitress had asked, as there were 4 of us,if we would like dishes doubled up as some had 2 kebabs in and it was difficult to divide them up . Just a suggestion. It was quite busy and as one waitress was preparing drinks constantly it was difficult for the other waitress to divide her attention equally between all the tables so service was a bit spasmodic. The dishes were tasty and we will return to try others and more cocktails.

We had the most delicious meal here. Innovative but not pretentious. The menu is small and seems to regularly change which is a definite plus point. It was absolutely delicious and so lovely to have something a bit different. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

We had the most amazing evening at Antidote last night. The food was 10/10, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was lovely. We could not find a fault and can’t wait to return! Thank you for such a memorable evening. By far the best meal out we’ve had in years!

We had some of the best food we’ve had in ages here. The staff were friendly and the service was exceptional. Would definitely go again! We didn’t stay in the hotel hence not rating the rooms.

We had a meal here, it was exceptional. Every dish was full of flavour and just amazing to eat. The service was excellent We loved the ambience and will definitely go back. We really enjoyed our visit - many thanks

My friend and I had a wonderful meal here last night. The food was amazing, service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. We had such a lovely night, I would highly recommend and will definitely go back next time I'm in Ilfracombe.

Really lovely restaurant that we used to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary. Really well priced at £39.90 per person plus gratuity of 10%. Food was exceptional as was the service. Nothing felt rushed, but food came in a timely manner. Waitress was really helpful. I can see why it’s a Michelin recommended restaurant. The only slight downside is that the size of the meals is small. We enjoyed them thoroughly but I was hungry afterwards. Would definitely come again and recommend to friends/family.

Had an exquisite Valentine’s Day meal here and it felt really special . Reasonable prices for beautiful food

Went there for one of their bistro nights, 3 course dinner with BYO alcohol, service and food was amazing, really good value too. Would thoroughly recommend and would go again 😁

Lovely food and coffee, dog friendly, staff really helpful

Fabulous place.and great food. The lady who runs it is delightful, service was great. I loved little touches like charity jewellery collection and book sale. Had a panini with pepper and stilton and coconut tart. I really enjoyed my visit. I love the decor. Great place and interesting options for all, non veggies will be pleased too.

Searching on a hot afternoon for a different place to eat and found this cafe and gave it a go. Plenty of tasty and adventurous options on the menu, chilled and cool place to spend some time and very reasonable prices, they even do cream teas if you fancy a proper Devon experience. Everything freshly and handmade, the lemonade was delicious. If you fancy something refreshingly different from the seafront fast food, definitely check this place out.

Lovely little cafe. Friendly service, nice place to sit and most importantly vegan cake options! They also cater well for gluten free and had lots of nice looking lunch options. I had the vegan fruit cake which was delicious!

We've been today to this lovely place with our dog. food was tasty and a lot of vegan choices as well, you could make your own sandwich and lot of herb teas choices. Staff very friendly, very very raccomended

I would strongly recommend this veggie restaurant, even if you're not a vegetarian. The food is really fresh and tasty and there's lots of it. I had the cheese and tomato frittata which was divine with the best salad ever. The restaurant is brightly decorated with beautiful sunflowers on the walls, the staff are friendly and there's a great ambience.

The best cafe in the UK I have ever been. It is so surprising that they have filter coffee on the menu, which the coffee is very nice. The environment is very nice and relaxing. People will bring their dogs to the Cafe and talk to each other. The food are very nice. The scone is very soft and the clotted cream are so creamy. With the sausage sandwich, the sausages are fried nicely and crispy, very delicious. Surely will come back again!

We were a large group of 10 adults and 4 children. We had to make a last minute booking for brunch and Lucy very kindly accommodated us and was incredibly flexible! The service was excellent. The food was delicious! The atmosphere was lovely. We were all happy with this place. We would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Lucy :)

There were 6 of us and 2 dogs, we were very well looked after, sandwiches and coffee were delicious. We had a selection of different types of bread and they were all good. I think it was really good value and hope they continue to be successful as it's how cafes should be.

Amazing and friendly place. We had cream teas at half the price of alot of other places and it was superb!! You get over 2 cups of tea from the pot too 😊 They have a menu that caters for all walks of life. Totally recommend this awesome place!

Gem of little place lovely fresh food, beer, wine, cider tea and coffee. Had a savory cream tea, hot cheese scone, cream cheese, stilton and pickle. Great water so lose leaf tea lovely. Hard to fault this place!!

Amazing place, the staff are so friendly and they even made me a left handed coffee and gave my mum a huge piece of cake🌟

My children and I (7 and 9) went here for cake, and I coffee. I highly recommend a stop here. The chocolate cake was delicious, and the coffee very tasty (I had a flat white). My children loved that there were fidgets, books, quizzes and the lego scenes to entertain them. We will be back for breakfast as the breakfast menu looked yummy.

Amazing food, really lives up to the hype! Had the vegetarian tasting menu which was mind blowingly good. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbaring. Will be back again for more 🤤

From the moment we arrived at Thomas Carr 1873 it felt like a very special occasion. Greeted warmly into a simply but beautifully decorated set of rooms where it is immediately apparent the level of service you are about to experience with just 6 tables neatly spread. We were sat with a view of the kitchen which gave us a peak into the magic of what was to come. 6 courses beautifully designed with every mouthful a delight on the palette. My other half is unfortunately not that fond of the more oily fish and shellfish. The kitchen were incredibly accommodating to this swapping out some of the more challenging ingredients while encouraging her to try some of the less so, which she did and loved (most of). The wine list was paired back and very good value. I was driving so we opted for wine by the glass. To start the white which was deliciously crisp, then my old half had a glass of the red which was full bodied and fruity. In terms of the food, the stand out savoury dish for me was the Bass with crab, though a very close second was the mackerel made to sing with an deliciously tangy fennel and tomato salsa. My other half was blown away by the beef with, for her, pickled mushrooms and a mushroom ketchup, almost as good as mine with oyster. For desert the hot chocolate pudding was to die for, but even this was blown out of water by the final dish, a mash up between jelly and ice cream and cheesecake. All in all amazing service, and even more amazing food. If you can get in would highly recommend!

A delightful and entirely delicious experience. Loved the quirky play on local seafood and the amazing service. Well worth the trip out to the Devon coast.

Had the 6 course taster menu which was deceptively filling! Actually 8 courses including the treats from the kitchen. Mainly seafood with one meat dish and dessert. All incredible, beautiful presentation and cooked to perfection. Staff very informative and pleasant. Very relaxed atmosphere and no table turnover. You have your table for the evening and we were there for 3 hours. Can't recommend it enough! You'll need to book well in advance as there's only 12 covers or so. Parking nearby just down the road.

High quality, inventive cooking that is simply delicious We had an enjoyable meal at 1873, taking full advantage of the six course tasting menu. The Michelin star is well earned with chef creating and serving well cooked, inventive food that delights on all fronts. Dishes were thoughtful and original while maintaining a local, seasonal feel. The ambiance does let the venue down a bit. The space was chilly enough to warrant a scarf and there's nothing intimate about the ambiance. We opted for the wine pairing (on the six-course menu) which, truthfully, was a bit rough on the senses. Champagne served too cold (along with the white wine) and dessert wines that jarred with the flavors. The service was also a bit canned, making interactions seem rehearsed. Our table was made from some kind of laminate (to wipe clean) and we were given paper napkins. Silverware was delivered to us with each course but not set properly, just being left on the side of the table. Overall, the food was worth the visit but, for the price, front of house needs a bit more work to make everything seem more fluid and polished.

We went for the vegetarian tasting menu. Superb food beautifully presented and delicious. Wine choice good too. Waitresses very good and a pleasant atmosphere. Would love to have all the different types of crockery! Great artwork on the walls and love the paint colours. Such a treat for a vegetarian to have exciting and different food. Any spare stuffed peppers can be sent my way.

We ate the six course tasting menu with paired wines. To put this restaurant in context I would say it's good but just a little away from great. The meal started with bread and butter which although nice was lacking in body and any real complexity. As the dishes went on the skill of the chef became clear. The food is well thought out with Chris's Dish being my favourite (emulating an English Breakfast), even there though I have little gripes. The egg is clearly sous vide and the texture of the joke just failed to remind you of the greasy spoon fried egg. Along with that was the appearance of a salami cup to hold the ketchup (which was very nice). Salami has no place in a English breakfast, maybe make the cup from streaky bacon, then my mind in convinced it's breakfast. Similar appearances happened in other dishes, popcorn on me venison, just didn't work. Overall a very pleasant experience but not exceptional, which is a shame because the chef is obviously very good. One last note is that the restaurant was very cold on the night we ate there. It probably isn't normally but I was freezing through the whole meal

While this cafe could do with a lick of paint, it serves the most comforting full English breakfast by the sea. The portion sizes are very generous and the produce seems very fresh and was well cooked. They also allowed us to change some items on the breakfast instead of simply not including them which was a lovely touch. The staff are kind and very welcoming especially to our dog! Who had his own mini breakfast. Overall it was a comforting and very lovely experience.

staff are amazing food is out of this world. The breakfast they do for young children is brilliant this is definitely my new breakfast place

What an absolute gem of a place, amazing staff and food. So glad we stumbled across it. Incredibly welcoming and helpful staff, went out of their way to accommodate gluten free daughter. Brilliant with dogs. Highly recommended.

We stopped in here as we was quite cold and the staff was very polite. My mom had a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows, My Nan had a pot of tea which I must say she loved as the pot was very cute. I’ve recently had surgery so asked for a glass of milk which they was happy to do. It’s a lovely little cafe 🥰

Food ok. Service a bit slow. Served after someone who came in after us.

Excellent food and amazing service, staff go the extra mile to make sure you have a great meal. Fantastic menu for all dietary requirements eg GF, Veggie and Vegan.

This is a super cafe in a good location. Eating indoors feels safe. The service is friendly and efficient. It's excellent value. My cheese scone wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was still a great package. They make a super pot of tea!

Popped in to get the little one a kids meal and a snack for us before walking back to our campsite but after looking at the menu we decided to get burgers each also. Fab customer service, both the guys inside were lovely and the food was amazing. We could have waited and taken it away, or popped in to the pub across the road or down the road - which they even walked down for you! We were really impressed with the food, it was tasty and was of great quality. The kids meal was also great value for money and he was chuffed. If we were staying another night we would have returned again!

We placed a big order over the phone for collection on Friday night and we had a fantastic meal. The food was ready to collect exactly on time and the taste and value for money was exceptional. As a family we managed to try the kids beef burger and chicken burger, two different types of loaded fries, the hot chic burger, classic with bacon, chicken strips and the Philly cheese steak. Everything was cooked to perfection, hot and fresh. Thanks very much

We’ve just had the best burgers since we can remember! We went for a Sloppy Joe and a Philly Cheese. They were juicy, fresh, the bun held it all in and the flavour was on point. It was cooked with love for sure! Honestly if your around ilfracombe don’t miss these guys 🤙🏼

Good quality of food, generous portions and cheaper than other places. Staff in friendly. What else do you want?

10/10 highly recommend this place. We first went here when it originally opened and have been back every time we are in the area… the guy who owns it knows what he is doing when it comes to food! The beef burger is absolutely amazing, we have this with cheese and bacon and the fries we always get with halloumi! The prices here are amazing for what you get and 100% worth the wait as it’s made fresh - go give this a go, you won’t be disappointed!

Very quick service for a Friday night - I can't even express how nice the food was! I often think food looks way better on reviews than it actually tastes so it was a nice surprise that the food here tasted way better than it looked (and it looked so good 🤤). It was lush to take it up to the cliff and look at the sea. Dinner with a view.

Came here with my boyfriend. Great service and even better food. The burgers were amazing. Had the Sloppy Joe burger and it was perfect.

Tried phoning to book and was told all the bookable tables had gone, but they were still taking walk-ins. So we took a chance and when we arrived they found us a table. The inside is full of nautical items hanging from the roof and the walls. The menu was large with a good selection of seafood. We had surf and turf (8oz steak and garlic prawns) and a fish pie. The steak and prawns were very good. However, the fish pie was lacking taste. Maybe if there were more varieties of fish or some prawns, it would have given it a better taste. Chips were good, and garden peas were a little on the hard side. We had a sherry trifle and a floater coffee to finish. A good evening let down a little by the fish pie, but we would happily return and try something else on the menu.

So, Saturday evening walk in, place was busy but comfortable with full on smugglers cave decor. Had to wait about an hour for a table - no worries as we went and got a drink and looked at the pretty little harbour. Service was efficient and polite and the food, well ‘chefs kiss’, was excellent! I had the surf and turf - the steak was medium rare perfect, prawns were fat and juicy and the garlic butter was amazing - it was that good that I kinda didn’t want the meal to end!! All in all a very nice experience which I would recommend 😊

A unique interior for this cute restaurant right at the harbour. Friendly staff, and great prawns and plaice served; we particularly enjoyed the yummy garlic sauce with it. Recommended for a nice seafood vibe.

Delicious food cooked perfectly, very friendly staff. Loved the decor in the restaurant.

What a lovely restaurant. We sat in a beautiful booth with red leather seats. There is plenty of paraphernalia on the ceiling. The staff were very attentive and the food excellent. There's a reasonable wine selection and they have easy listening music in the background. Great place to eat.

A really superb restaurant. We both had prawn cocktail for starters, my main was salmon supreme and the wife had smugglers plaice. For dessert we had pineapple fritters and sherry trifle. All courses were really lovely. Luckily we got in early evening and had no problem getting a table, this establishment does get quite busy and there maybe a short wait for a table. Staff very polite and friendly, service is very efficient.

Really good quality food. A beautiful restaurant with a lovely ambience. Really friendly staff. Although people did walk in and were offered a table, some were turned away. Definitely worth booking.

Could do so much better in such a great location. Ordered the 'special' small cod and chips (microscopic would be a more accurate description) and it was completely tasteless. They said it'd be 5-10 minutes, it took 20.

Called in here for fish and chips - eat in or takeaway - eat in well this is bought to the table and is in boxes - plenty of eating in space - it is in a prime location but this does not reflect the atmosphere that is there and whilst it was Ok it could do with improvement - perhaps eat in is on plates!! I had a long walk so it was great to be able to sit down - food was hot - would rather in but I felt that I might as well have eaten outside but did not wish to risk a gull getting the food

Two small cod, chips & one curry sauce, £18. This has to the worst meal I had in a fish shop ever. Fish tasted frozen and tasteless, chips tasted like they were cooked in old oil. Dissatisfied customers pretty much throw it in the bin. Never again.

On busy times be prepared to wait, not too long. Once seated you browse through the menu and within no time your order is taken. Everything is prepared to order so don't tuck too quick, even the gulls on the takeaway would think twice. Staff are warm and friendly and the service too. If you are a fish lover, I would recommend the Fisherman's meal deal, a choice of Cod or Haddock, chips, mushy peas and a pot of tea. All other meals are served with chips. Can't wait for next time.

After walking past a few places in the harbour we came here after seeing cook from fresh we went in and tried it well best thing we did, my wife had cod and chips with curry sauce, my son had battered sausage and chips with gravy and i had cod roe and chips with curry sauce, with 3 cans of pop £33 very good value as where we our from it would cost more easy from the midlands so many thanks

Food is freshly cooked and staff are very friendly and helpful. Wide range of food available. Dogs are welcome.

Would give less than 1 Star if possible. Zero atmosphere, broken window, untidy staff and food was served up still frozen in the middle of the fish. Absolutely vile, do not waste your money or time at this venue. When we gave feedback, it was dismissed and not taken on board. I cannot absolutely say the the food we ate here contributed to the D and V I suffered from for the remainder of the weekend, but I also cannot rule it out.

Ordered a veggie pizza with pineapple on and it came pretty quickly but was missing the pineapple and the extra dip that I had paid for. I called them and they offered to refund the extra cost or bring me the missing bits. Came 5 mins later with a big tub of pineapple and two more dips 🥰 Thank you!

Horrendous customer service. Ordered at 17:16 and then rang at 18:36 as not had my delivery. The delivery driver then shouted down the phone at me saying I wasn’t listening and that he had rang me 5 times and buzzed up to the flat. At no point did this happen, I even have the call log on my phone still to prove it. When finally got the food it’s just about warm. Anyway, merry Christmas!

We were north Devon for holidays. This was only halal takeaway in Ilfracombe. Food was good and delicious. Staff Need to focus on hygiene. Entrance was disgusting. Prices were reasonable. We had mix grillz, chicken wrap,chicken nuggets and southern fried chicken.

staff are so extremely rude! Awful customer service. Called up about my chicken being raw and basically had the phone put down on me. Also had to wait over an hour for my food! They got angry when I rang up to see how long it would take? DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Never know a place to have such awful customer service. Stay away!!!

Called to cancel order, as order was going to take a long time, and just didn’t have time to wait. Man on the phone was extremely rude, even though I was trying to be polite, he refused to cancel so we waited for the food. Which in their defence came a lot quicker than we initially thought, however when the food came it was awful, burnt pizza and over all and bad quality

Munchies saved the day delivering to us when we have just moved in and hadn't brought any food yet, during the storm! Food was yummy to thanks so much 👍🏻

Ordered 2 x chicken doner wraps, got given 2 x lamb doner kebabs and this is not the first time they have got my order wrong, food isnt that great either.

Friendly staff. The pizza and chips were lovely. The hot wings were disappointing, only flats and very expensive at £7.15 for 12 small pieces. Would go again but would not get the wings!

Great prices for the quantity of the food, really quick delivery with fresh, hot yummy food, and lovely customer service.

Our friends picked us up some food from here and it was the best curry sauce I’ve ever had! You can tell this one was homemade literally had bits of chicken & veg in it. Fish & chips was absolutely lovely and my partner loved the battered sausage. They even gave us some extra chips. We will definitely be returning the customer service is brilliant! Very welcoming and friendly.

Mostly cold, burger and rap and chips ,dry and rubbish. Corn cob was hot! £23 for a hot corn cob. Terrible.

Very good service and lovely food, would recommend

Just ordered 2 X 12inch pizzas tonight they were amazing. Lots of topping . The base was perfect thickness and were cooked to perfection. Staff friendly. Highly recommended

Excellent, fast and friendly service with cool space/ star wars theme. Tasty meal for just over £7 total. Will return! 😁

The Sub rolls were filled with our choice of a large menu, warmed and served in a insulated cardboard sleeve. The were gorgeous! It's a shame, that the surroundings were not so good- as inside a service station. They probably have places of their own, but we sat and ate them there anyway . Will not bother with Burgers etc in future.

Absolutely disgusted by the service provided. Waited 10-15mins queuing up. Once ordering my food, I asked for tangy cheese nachos, then I was given plain tortilla crisps out of a container and slopped into a cardboard box without a lid. To then be asked what I wanted on it? This employee didn't know what came on the nachos, so I explained what was on it. Once he had cooked this I then questioned a second time if it was tangy cheese as you could see this was not. He said well its the only crisps I no and haven't been taught anything on nachos. Then I was feeling sorry for him. I'd explained that its normally a bag of doritos of the flavour chosen with all the topping stated on the board. He said I can remake them. I kindly answered please as its not what ive requested. Once he had remade these. I then got to the till to be charged £4.49 for these nachos, but on the screen they were advertised as £3.09. I explained I was not paying this price when they are stated different. For him to then huff and puff, so he then changed the price to £3.19 which still didn't match the price. ( I paid this price as I couldn't be bothered to keep on.) Staff need better training on food, and till. Poor.

Went into Subway on Sunday 19/10/25 and waited half an hour for service as the worker was so slow making 6 subs for 3 different customers before me. Customer before ordered meatballs and he obviously didn't change his gloves because on my chicken sub there were dots of meatballs sauce inside and on the bread. Wrong bread on one sub. Coffee machine needed cleaning so after waiting half an hour to order 2 sub meals I had to have an alternate drink. Complete waste of £20

Been here twice and both times I've waited about 5 minutes and nothings happened. First time the guy was actually there sat on his phone, me and the other customer both left. Today there was nobody there but it was open. Nobody showed up, just rubbish service. Maybe employ more than one person.

A nice,warm and lovely day out and stop at subway for a footlong Italian spicy choice of mine, its my first time having a subway here in uk, and when the crew ask me what i want, i said footlong ( i thought thats it ) and he ask what i want for it, and i said anything can you recommend me because its my first time and he choose me one idea, and i choose the rest and the result was best . Yum 🤤

Quite literally the worst sandwich I've ever had. Stale bread. Slow service. Old ingredients that tasted like rubber. Sorry but... awful. Just awful. Not exactly cheep either. I'd have had better luck with the petrol station sandwiches.

Firstly - take note that despite the very large illuminated sign visible on the main road saying "Subway open 24 hours" they are not. And I have been in at 10pm to be told they are already closed when even the Subway website says they are open until 11pm. Otherwise it's a Subway and when they are open and prepared to serve you it's as good as any other - which in my view is good.
