Ducky's in East Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Cream tea with the family, late afternoon and was exactly what we needed. 2 scones, plenty of jam and cream with a big pot of tea. None of us left a crumb 😋.

Nice all day breakfast, beautiful location and reasonable prices. Definitely go again . Excellent for families and kids

The service is outstanding and the food is delicious and excellent value for money. The staff are polite and efficient and the speed of service is particularly impressive.

Popped into this cute little cafè for breakfast with my partner and was seriously blown away by how friendly the staff are and how lovely the food was. Eggs Benny was cooked to perfection and the coffees we had were phenomenal. My boyfriend also said the full breakfast was amazing. The staff are an absolute credit to this cafe from the waitress to the cooks. Highly highly recommend.

I have been coming to Ducky’s for years. We are a family of 4 and had the all day breakfast. So delicious! Service was excellent, staff are so warm and friendly! Food was hot and well priced. I cannot fault Ducky’s! We will continue to return time and time again.

Just the spot on a lovely September day for an Al fresco lunch on the beach. Having been earlier for a drink, we spotted their crab sandwiches on the menu, returned for lunch and enjoyed these incredible crab sandwiches, served with a salad garnish and a filling so thick that it was difficult to finish - the service was excellent and all staff exceedingly friendly. Would go again if we return to Beer for another visit - beautiful village and quite unspoilt. Finally great value.

My husband and myself, visited Ducky’s twice this holiday, we have been previously. Lovely setting, very clean, very friendly family. Cream tea was delicious, one is enough for two, good price at £8.00 . Crab sandwich was good, but bit overpriced! Hopefully be back next year

Been many times over a great many years each time we visit Beer. Couldn't believe it this time, even the lady serving actually apologised for the price charged. £32.+ for two crab sandwiches, a single helpjng of chips, and one small bottle of fizzy water. They only take cash, no cards. This is a beech cafe so sitting on an outside table on the beach, lovely as the setting is, and no complaints about the food, very nice, but we felt well and truly ripped off, not value for money. We used to look forward to going. Pity!

We were visiting Beer with friends and they highly recommended Ducky's for teh crab. So we grabbed a table, enjoying teh lovely setting, teh weather on the whole behaving itself We ordered crab sandwiches with chips and an egg and chips The crab filling was very generous and tasty, very fresh, the chips great. The eggs really tasted good. We had coffees and tea to go with the food The crab sandwiches are really worth visiting the place for Service is very friendly

Second visit here as the first was just so welcoming. Fab hosts who recognised us straight away! Nothing was too much trouble for them and we’ll definitely be back for a third visit. Well worth a visit for tea, food, ice cream or all three!

Oh wow! What a brilliant find! Just sitting in the café right now, overlooking Beer beach whilst finishing off some delicious food. 11 of us (6 adults and 5 kids of varying ages) we were welcomed with open arms by the gent and lady working. The food was AMAZING and delivered very timely. Can't recommend the cafe highly enough, definitely worth a stop when in Beer or even if you need somewhere nearby for food. Thank you so much!

Breakfast ordered; all day breakfast and bacon and egg sandwich. Also had a lovely pot of tea and China cups. Setting was great. We’d hardly sat down and poured tea when breakfast arrived. This made us feel it wasn’t freshly cooked. Eggs were hard for both breakfasts. Sausage was just basic catering standard and bacon was waver thin and not much taste. The bread seemed like supermarket basic standard. Was below par in comparison to Chapple’s the day before, which was a little cheaper and much better quality. Disappointed by Ducky’s

On the sea front had a little light rain not enough parasols seemed to be 4 for about 15 tables had a sausage sandwich wife had the fish finger sandwich although it was a sandwich it cost as much combined as a meal in a pub inland .

We stopped here for a cheeky ice cream. And we're not disappointed with the flavour selection or quality....Farmer Tom's dairy ice cream. We sat at one of the tables to enjoy our treat and watch the world go by!

Brilliant place for a lovely breakfast, amazing view ,Ross went out his way to make room so we could park the motorcycles top bloke Jerry & paul

Pretty good food for an outdoor cafe on the beach. Moderate prices, certainly not cheap. Only real gripe is that they will only accept cash for payment.

Duckys , family owned run Buisness . They really are lovely , friendly and the food and coffee was fabulous . Their log cabin is a joy , beautiful crockery so clean and well presented . They really take pride in their little premises a real pleasure to look at whilst being served 5 stars from me and my family , A real gem 💎 we will be back 🙌❤️

Lovely place on the beach, friendly staff beautiful ice cream and come here often. Can’t recommend it enough

My wife and I have used Ducky’s for a few years now but haven’t visited for a while. We always order a crab and a prawn sandwich as they are always very good. On this occasion there were three of us for lunch so we had two crab sandwiches and one prawn, along with just two cans of coke to share. Much to my surprise we were charged £45:00!! This is not a high end restaurant but just a small takeaway shack on the beach. I realise that the world has changed and all prices have increased, however how could anyone justify £45:00 for three sandwiches! Yes I should have checked the prices before ordering or cancelled the order, however we promised the third member of the group a crab sandwich so we just had to reluctantly carry on. The sandwiches were ok, but not as good as before, less filling than previous and bread a little dry. You also have to bear in mind that they only accept cash! If places similar to this one continue to raise prices then families will revert back to bringing their own food to the beach, at a fraction of the cost! This has probably been the worst value for money experience in a very long time, so disappointed and will not return for what was a favourite place for a crab sandwich!

Absolutely delicious freshly homebaked cake and mugs of tea - will definitely come again next visit.

Called in with family for a cooked breakfast (£10.50) and it was fabulous! The service was great, the owner was really friendly and along with the setting, the food was brilliant! The weather was ok when we were there, but if it’s not so good,...

Sunday morning mid April. We popped over from Teignmouth for breakfast on the beach. Lovely staff, quick service and dog friendly at all opening times. Closed Mondays other than B Holiday. Recommended.

As were in the vicinity, my wife, who has wanted to take me to Bere, one of her favourite places in Devon, suggested we pop in. Yes, it is a lovely place, small, cosy and thankfully this time of year, relatively quiet. What a perfect...

Friendly staff,good selection of food in a lovely setting.Definitely worth a visit but you do need to remember to bring cash.

Hugely disappointed with the crab sandwiches… doorstep white bread very stale, almost 99% brown crab meat, which even my husband didn’t enjoy and he eats most things. We had chips on the side; the cooking oil definitely needs changing they tasted of old fat -...

Fantastic freshly cooked breakfast and a proper cup of tea. Great location and friendly helpful staff. We love coming here and so worth the 80 mile drive for a relaxing day out

Stunning position, right on the beach! Breakfast was super - freshly cooked for us and big mugs of tea or coffee. Delightful staff - nothing was too much trouble.

We had a lovely lunch here. The location is great, right down on the seafront. Food and service were excellent and our two dogs were given treats as well.

Nice surprise down on the beach at Beer. You have to walk down a steep slope, but it's worth it. Friendly and welcoming owners. As the weather was showery they had opened up their rental beach huts, so we enjoyed our lunch out of the...

Lovely return visit whilst staying in Beer. Delicious ice cream and pot of tea. The vintage china crockery makes it for me. Would rather have a China cup & saucer that a builders mug any day. Tables kept immediately clean. Only niggle is it’s cash...

Stopped off mid morning for coffee and a tea cake. Welcomed with great service and an extensive menu. We really enjoyed chatting with the lady who’d worked there 30+ years and hearing how the beach and Beer have changed over the years. Fabulous view! Highly...

Had bacon sandwiches - over a fiver each with really thin, cheap bacon and a garnish of wet tomato to make the bread soggy. You pay only for the location - the plates aren't even delivered or collected. You have no choice about sauces -...

We were looking for drinks and ice cream on a busy August day so the team may have been stressed! However - the team serving were abrupt and rude and seemed indifferent to all the customers. No card/contactless payments. Is this a tax dodge or...

We went here and it was so so it wasn’t brilliant but it wasn’t too bad. The bacon was a bit crispy but it is good portions sizes . Very clean overall very good. Lack of customer service. Few minor things but overall good

Start our holiday with breakfast on the Beach at Duckys perfect service and good food. Hire Beach huts and relax. Superb cream teas , crab sandwiches, jacket potato, ploughman's lunch.....and much more. Finished our holiday as we started. Nice pot of tea before our journey...

Another lovely visit to Duckys today, excellent FRESH crab salad and sandwiches, so delicious. You can't get fresher than at Duckys! Thank you to all the staff for our lovely lunch

Really lovely to come back here after a couple of years , to find it still as lovely as I remember. Fantastic, friendly service and great crab sandwiches and salad with very generous portions of fresh crab .

Was looking for FRESH crab sandwiches. For £12.00 a time we thought that this is what we would get. Sorry to say wbT we got was some sort of processed crab paste. I come from a fishing village and I know what FRESH crab is...

We are local but occasionally we treat ourselves to Breakfast on Beer Beach. Today we visited Ducky's, one of Beer's three Beach Cafes, they all offer much the same traditional no-frills Cafe Breakfast/Brunch Menu. On our visit Ducky's was accepting Cash only. On such a...

Beautiful cream tea with a view. Superb value at £7 with two fresh scones, plenty of jam/clotted cream and tea served on vintage china. Cash only and no toilet facilities although public ones available at the top of the ramp leading down to the beach.

Scenic location we had 2 lovely lattes at £2 a cup the best value to date friendly service lots of outdoor seating good choice of sandwiches and snacks. Well worth a visit.

A great find on venturing down to the beach. Reasonable prices for a fair selection of food,hot and cold. My friend and i had the bacon,fried eggs and chips.(£10) each.Well presented,plenty of it.Quick service from placing our order. Plenty of tables on the beach with...

Occupying a good spot on the beach with plenty of tables with bright red sunshades this Cafe is a friendly place With all the food and drink that you would expect.They open early and we sat at a table with sea and coastal Views for...

The food was Lovely, friendly staff & perfect location on the beach, and everything was reasonably priced given the location. Dogs welcome too

Ducky,s is a nice beach bar, in a great location right on the beach at the end of the road leading down to the beach. Good hot drinks, friendly service. The food looked okay as well, although we did not have any. Reasonable prices.

What a surprise this place was to see on the beech. Had a cream tea to die for and the ice-cream was delicious.

The perfect location, friendly staff, dog friendly as well I noticed. However, they only accept cash and in a pandemic era that is no no by any standards, accepting a card is cheap now for businesses and the most covid friendly way. The food was...

Nothing nicer than Breakfast on the beach we go there a lot staff are very friendly and a good sized breakfast that is on a hot plate which is great as eating outside and there coffee is great too. Can’t wait for sunny days again.

Amazing position looking at the fishing boats right on the beach and the lovely scenery. Lunch was nice, but the lemon drizzle cake was disappointing. Staff were very helpful.

Enjoyed coffee and yummy apple cake in October sunshine on the beach. A lovely end to the season . Will be returning next year.

Nice mug of tea but only gave a 3* as this was a cash only, could be difficult for some people if they have to go back up to the village to try and get cash.m

Why is it impossible to get fresh fish?. Ducky’s ain’t the best place but it certainly ain’t the worst. It was my mission to get some fresh fish out the sea, but it looked like findus has got the supply contract for here, on the...

During our week in Beer we visited all three beach cafes and Ducky's is bringing up the rear. All three have a great beach location on a beautiful beach and Beer is a lovely village. So, what a shame the beauty of the place does...

Another great visit to Ducky’s down on Beer beach. Friendly as ever and best of cakes in the sunshine this morning. Thank you.

We have just returned from Beer and spent most lunch times at Ducky’s (just a shame not open on a Monday). The food was very good, especially the crab sandwiches. The sandwiches came with a little side salad and on a china plate (as opposed...

I'm a local so like to support local. Normal the food is great. But I just paid £3.70 for a fried egg sandwich expecting at least 2 eggs but disappointingly there is only one egg in the sandwich. Most other food was good but the...

Awful, overcooked breakfast and very rude service. Cheap burnt bacon, cardboard sausage, watery tomatoes, hard eggs. A good morning would be nice too. Don't eat here, head to Kennos or Chapples down the beach.

After a great week in Bournemouth and the surrounding areas we decided to visit Beer before heading home. I went to the counter to ordered two ice creams a coffee and a bottle of water. The grey haired man prepared my ice creams and placed...

I was intentionally very polite to the woman that served us and she couldn’t of been ruder. The food was a combination of cheap ingredients which clearly hadn’t been cooked fresh. There are two other cafes on the beach where both the service and food...

the guy with the grey hair and beard is very rude and sarcastic and seems to hate his customers 😂 I would try kennos or chapples instead

Fantastic crab sandwiches with lots of filling and they did Gluten Free bread with salad. They very kindly packed the sandwiches as we wanted to take them away

Our yearly stay in Beer would not be complete without our visits to Ducky's Friendly owner and great staff make you feel welcome everytime. Good food and reasonably priced.

Rude owner, rude lazy service. "YOU HAVE TO COME AND COLLECT IT!" she shouts. "THEN YOU HAVE TO BRING IT BACK." Bit far to walk, eh, those few metres? If you're going to get angry about someone eating a portion of chips from another place...

The people who run Ducky’s are filled with the exasperated rage of locals who hate tourists. They are not kind. The food was fine, though the beans on the jacket potato were cold and the salad was 40% onions. The mugs are pretty.

As locations go it’s right on the beach but only takes cash which is a nuisance as there is nowhere in Beer to get cash out. Kenno’s beach cafe on the other side of the beach does take cards and is much friendlier and the...

Fantastic location, fabulous service, friendly staff. I can't recommend Ducky's enough. If your in Beer a visit to this place is a must. 10 out of 10 - Thanks Guys 👍

Rude bald owner, poor service. The mug of tea was too strong (and cold) which shows the extent of their culinary skills. Food was basic - cheapest ingredients. Seems they want to make as much profit as possible and little care given to customers. The...

Stopped here twice whilst visiting Beer, service was excellent, friendly and helpful staff. I’ve cream was the best! And the scones were amazing. Great little set up on the beach and the food looked incredible, hope to visit again soon.

Great location and food was quick to come when ordered, I could do without the noise from the bold headed chap in the kitchen - you are not funny mate, just irritating and embarrassing your staff doesn’t help them.

Decent enough coffees and sandwiches and you certainly can't argue with the view, or the convenience if you're planning to spend a day on the beach.

Fabulous place, such a wonderful place to sit and plenty of tables. We just stumbled across it on a beautiful hot day in July. Never thought we would get a seat but there were plenty. Lots of choice on the menu and food great and...

First and last visit Ordered Fish and chips and a crab sandwich. The fish was frozen and deep fried ,tasteless . The chips were dripping in fat and had no potato in them . We complained and to their credit we were given our money...

Have had something to eat at ducky’s each time we have visited Beer , never fails to satisfy us be it breakfast lunch or afternoon tea. Even in busy times it’s quite easy to order and eat or drink

This is a lovely cafe right on the beach in Beer with picture postcard views. We had coffee and delicious cakes. The seating is all outside so probably not much fun if pouring with rain. The staff were all pleasant and helpful. and I can...

We use ducky’s regularly and have NEVER had a bad meal or service. During the summer they are rushed off their feet and still manage to get the food out quickly (they are just a little shed on the beach and there is only so...

Visited cafe this morning for breakfast - excellent food and value Quick and friendly service Will return again

We had a delicious slice of apple cake and clotted cream each, served on proper china plates and real mugs not horrible polystyrene ones. Lots of tables and friendly staff. Will definately visit again

Have been here before lockdown and food was always good, today was the first time since we have been released ha ha the covid measures were very good wiping tables and seats etc, food was excellent in taste and portions the staff were so polite...

Lovely setting on the beach, safe clean sanitising facilities, great food and excellent value. But take Cash, no credit cards.

220 today to get a cup of tea and a mail password pot of tea for one with two cocks the manager was very rude very Would not recommend this place get better service at the roadside café absolutely awful looks cheap and cheerful

Called into Beer where I was previously in 1961. Ducky's on the beach satisfied our requirements for a drink and superb ice cream. We will be back within theyear.

This is always our first stop when we visit Beer. Excellent, friendly service and delicious food - the crab sandwiches are the best I’ve ever had! It is worth mentioning that they only take cash payments.

We had walked from Seaton to Beer and we were a little jaded on arriving on Beer beach. So when we found a spare table at Ducky’s, things started to look up. The fresh sea food was simply delicious, the owner was a top bloke...

We stopped off here for a late lunch and ordered a crab sandwich and a crab salad with a portion of chips on the side with two drinks (Sprite and a pot of tea). There was so much crab both in the sandwich and in...

lovely location on the beach and the ice creams were excellent,fantastic views out to sea ,umbrellas when it is baking hot,top beach location.

Fantastic service and lovely food. We’ve been a couple of times during our week in Beer and thoroughly enjoyed breakfast, crab sandwiches and an amazing cream tea on different occasions! Such friendly and helpful staff who have helped us discover some other great local spots....

Fabulous place. We spent a week based in Beer and kept coming back to Ducky’s. Ross and his team were superb and the food was sensational

Visited this cafe on the beach with my husband. We would not recommend this place to anyone who wants a decent service or good food. This place only takes cash only while we are still in pandemic and we are encouraged to pay by card????...

We loved Ducky’s visited many times during our weeks stay in Beer. The food is great particularly enjoyed the crab sandwiches and cream tea. Tea on the beach served in China cups cannot be beaten. The best cafe on Beer beach by far.

Great cafe food on the beach. Friendly and chatty staff. Really well organized for Covid 19 with one way system and collection station for the food and another for dropping off used dishes and trays.

Excellent crab sandwich served with salad both of which tasted freshly prepared. Top marks for that but best to avoid the 1970s heritage milky concoction they serve as coffee.

A lovely little cafe on Beer beach. It offered a wide selection of food, and the tea came in lovely China tea cup and saucers. Great service too! Only slight problem was that they didn’t take card but no biggy as there’s a cash point...

First time in Beer on a glorious Sunday morning and found the perfect spot for coffee and cake. A good mix of locals and visitors, with all being well catered for by the owner and his staff. Hostelries with owners actively involved always provide the...

When deciding we wanted a crab Sandwich today we didn’t have to think twice where we were going to go!! Ducky’s! Deep filled fresh sandwich with lovely little side salad and a pot of tea in China cups! Friendly service by all. Definitely recommend.

Great little find on the beach, with a lovely menu and lovely food, Tables are well spaced with cleaning carried out regularly Friendly helpful staff and great cake and crockery.

Visited here with family hoping for a delicious crab salad. However, for the price, one got very little crab and the salad was limp lettuce, with a couple of slices of tomato and cucumber and about half a red onion. With seafood on your doorstep, it would not be too difficult to put a bit more effort in and produce a really delicious plate of food.Staff pleasant. Location very good - just very disappointing food.

We are thrilled to be able to visit this charming beach cafe restaurant again. The only problem we have is we have been spoilt by the views, the lovely service, the warmth of welcome we always receive from the owner and his wife and the team.The menu has something for everyone and dogs are made to feel equally welcome. The owner made my elderly mum feel so welcome this week remembering her preferences from last year, she so enjoys the traditional china that is used here for tea.The presentation of everything served here is great and represents such good value. What wonderful memories we will be taking away again from this week. Thank you so much.

Having visited this lovely little beach cafe many times as a family, we have always been made to feel most welcome , at ease and received outstanding service from all of the staff.The owner is one of the nicest men you are likely to meet- he cannot do enough for you and always serves and greets you with a smile. It is always a relaxing place to be and we have always been made to feel most welcome. Sun, smiles, kindness and tasty food and drink- could not ask for more! Thank you for always putting a smile on our son’s face after his favourite full English breakfast! We wish you a lovely summer and hope you are treated with the respect that you always show to others.

Avoid this place unless you want to be treated as a second class citizen. The owner and the staff were rude and obnoxious. I was there with my white English husband by accident as we didn’t book the nearby restaurant in advance. My husband went to toilet and left me alone while I was talking to two of my friends, in both English & foreign language. I was not aware that I was so loud on my conversations with them till the owner approached me and told me to keep the voice down. I am nearly sixty years old professional who was talking with like minded friends who happened to be both work for schools teacher/ manager of the schools in U.K. and aboard. I wasn’t aware that we were talking too loud and I eventually asked them whether we were talking too loud and both are willing to testify about this accusation. The owner was adamant that it was too loud and the customers complained to him so I asked him about his comments and said I was in the same trade and I was surprised to hear about his comment towards me. I was hounded by him and staff and was asked to leave which I did. One of his staff said she didn’t care whether I owned the hotel or not and it wasn’t the point that I was trying to explain and be civil with these people as I would never ever treat anyone the way I was treated from this establishment. I n general,British are one of the best human beings that I have ever known. Don’t pick on someone just because that person is not white and has different skin colour. Don’t bully anyone just because you can. This should have not happened in the civilised society, especially in U.K. where I called my second home for nearly forty years. I just read on Facebook reviews regarding to this place and just realised that I was one of the victims!

Absolutely delicious cream tea on the Beer beach front. The place was busy but the social distancing practices in place were great. We had a cream tea for two which included four huge scones that were delicious and warm and accompanied by more than generous portions of jam and cream. Would certainly recommend to anyone in the area.
