Visited as two couples.. such a good dining experience. Two of us had Linguine with mussels and prawns, perfect! Another had mussels , and the other venison burger.. nothing whatsoever to find fault with.. cheesecake dessert as well.. nothing left on the plates! . , not to mention very knowledgeable front of house . Definitely so worth a visit when you are in Woolacombe

Visited for Sunday Lunch. We would advise booking as people were being turned away. Great selection of drinks and inviting food menu. We had the dressed crab with sourdough and roast lamb with all the trimmings. Delish. Would recommend to anyone visiting Woolacombe.

Just visited woolacombe for a week and visited on 3 occasions, the staff especially the waitress was first class, the food excellent and priced really reasonably, first visit the mackerel on ciabatta was gorgeous, for our wedding anniversary tried the linguine with seafood and absolutely loved it, returning in the summer and the beach house will be our first stop off

Had booked lunch on what turned out to be a wonderful sunny March day and were able sit outside to enjoy our fabulous crab lunch. One of our party had the Chef's special lentils which were delicious. If you are a chip connoisseur, these are the best! Golden, crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Perfect. The service is friendly and efficient. All in all a perfect, relaxed, venue.Sadly we live the other side of Devon, otherwise we'd be here much more often!

Came in with my family for a last minute Sunday roast. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was really friendly! They really looked after us (especially our dog) and the food was great. I was surprised there were as many different vegetables with the roast, the portions were generous and cooked well. (thank you to the chefs!) Will definitely be returning - thanks for a great Sunday afternoon.

We have been coming to Woolacombe for many years in February and this was undoubtedly the best food we have eaten here. The service was fantastic both when we popped in for a drink on a wet Sunday lunchtime and the evening meal we had. We tried a complete range of dishes and all cooked exceptionally well and innovative. Fabulous evening

We found this restaurant during the stormiest of weekends in February when many other restaurants were closed. How lucky we were, on our first visit we had the sharing fruits de mer platter which was an absolute delight with the freshest of ingredients perfectly cooked. The service is friendly and attentive and we were made to feel so welcome that we returned the next day for lunch.A great bowl of perfectly seasoned Foy mussels followed by a beautifully cooked roast beef with a huge Yorkshire and an imaginative selection of vegetables.This really is a gem of a restaurant with great staff, great food, a good wine list and very reasonable prices for the quality delivered.Our compliments to the chef!Steve & Kathy.

Me and my partner went for dinner and they accommodated me being vegan and allergic to nuts. As a pasta fanatic, I must say this is the best pasta I ever had! The chef catered to my needs. My partner really enjoyed his seafood pasta too.And the bar staff even made us margaritas which were not on the menu.The following day we got a takeaway from them as there was no where else open, and they don’t typically do takeaway!Wow what amazing service, people, drink and food. Highly recommend!!

We followed Trip Advisor and a local recommendation (from Byron Apartments) to the Beach House and we were not disappointed. The food was stunning! As a family of 4 we ordered a range of seafood, venison, salads etc and everything was top quality and super fresh. All topped off with a lovely bottle of Rose. We enjoyed our evening so much that we immediately booked for Sunday lunch and all agreed it was one of the best roast dinners we had ever eaten! The email booking was straightforward and the service relaxed and friendly. I would encourage all food lovers to visit!

Went in on New Years Eve lunchtime for some food. Our little dog was allowed in, the service was excellent and the young Lady there was really nice not just bringing water to our table but also for our dog. As for the food, I had steak and credit where it’s due, it was cooked to perfection and really tender. The Chef (possibly owner) also took time to come around and speak to everyone. Really friendly and excellent food and service.

Food was fab and piping hot (thank you Chef Scott), and Kieran did a wonderful job as front of house..Both Scott and Kieran went the extra mile by sorting out a ginger/honey hot toddy (condition unrelated to visit) sourcing, at short notice, fresh ginger.Thank you for a great experience as I had assumed (hadn't checked) that the restaurant was on pause for the winter..... so pleased I overheard a conversation that it wasn't. I believe open Thurs, Fri and Sat nights along with Sunday lunch times (Boxing Day excluded). Definitely a restaurant to put on your 'eat out here card'!

Excellent food and service We booked in advance for Saturday evening and so glad we did - the lobster was divine as was the black pudding scotch egg starter and the cod with lobster bisque. Booked again for Tuesday and tried the dressed crab and the venison. Great wine choices to pair with the food, friendly attentive service and the chef pops out when he gets a minute. Mazz and her team are going a great job with fewer staff than they would like, so do give them a look if you are in Woolacombe before they close for the winter in November. Top choice for places to eat so far

We have been coming to Woolacombe for years and we had not managed to try this place. But now we have, what a place the food and service was superb we have been missing out for years and we can see why it is so booked up well in advance. To top it all off and not only having some great tasting food with excellent they are dog friendly too much is a huge plus. Every dish that came from the kitchen looked superb but we can recommend the black pudding scotch eggs, the crispy beef, the venison and the cod in a lobster bisque which was delightful.

The service was excellent, the decor clean and tranquil with beautiful sea views and the food was fresh, full of flavour and beautifully presented.

Luckily we booked The Beach House months in advance - they still had a month or so waiting list when we went for a meal. Quite a small restaurant on the main road in Woolacombe, overlooking the beach. Very nice waiting staff - friendly, chatty and efficient. Food was excellent. I ordered dressed crab and it was presented beautifully and the portion was ample. Came with a nice salad, crusty bread and chips! Not sure I needed the chips - all portions were quite large. Very pleasant meal, we weren't rushed and left feeling we had had a good evening out. Would highly recommend if you are in the area - but book!

We had booked many months in advance after reading reviews when we knew we we would be travelling to Woolacombe for a short break. We visited the night before just for drinks and to get a feel for the place and Mazz and her staff were really friendly. We caught a glance of the menu so were looking forward to visiting the next evening and were not dissapointed. I thought I had made a decision from the menu we had seen but then Mazz showed us the specials so we changed our minds, I had the seafood linguini which was lovely lots of very big prawns and a hint of chilli for a lick, my husband had the steak and the pepper sauce was the best he had ever had so clean plates all round. As said before the staff were really great and not intrusive at all but all very approachable and I do hope that they managed a day off finally on the 3rd September as they had worked so hard during all the restrictions. We hope to return next year. Peter and Julie

I must admit - despite the great reviews, I wasn't sure about this restaurant on arrival; it didn't look much from the outside and I wasn't fussed by the choice of starters on the menu. I'm delighted we went though, as my partner and I had the Lobster and Prawn special, and it was absolutely amazing. Very high quality seafood, and a generous serving of it too, which came with salad, fries and garlic butter. It was sooo good and worth every penny. The salted caramel cheesecake was also delicious if you have a sweet tooth like me. The staff were friendly and attentive, and we left happy (and full). One slight niggle, was the toilet situation - just one bathroom for the whole restaurant, so there was always a queue. Overall though, we had a great time - highly recommend.

We arrived a little earlier than our booked time for dinner, but they were so accommodating and we were lucky to have a table with a view out onto Woolacombe beach. The staff were super friendly and was very efficient, I do feel they were rushing around a lot as only 2 servicing when it got full around 7pm.I had the dressed crab, my husband had a fish dish and my daughter had cheesy pasta, including a pint of Coke, a pint of beer & glass of blackcurrant for my daughter it came to around £56.We felt this was reasonable for the quality of food and service we received & the choice of drinks available. A very enjoyable & pleasant meal. Would definitely recommend although would need to book well in advance, as they were having to turn people away as fully booked for the next 2 weeks when we were there. Booking process was very easy and they emailed nearer the time to confirm we still wanted the booking.

The lobster and prawns were super tasty, the local lundy lobster stealing the show. My son had spag bol which I tried and was yummy. My daughter had the burger which was also full of flavour as I tried this too. I normally find kids meals bland but not here and extremely reasonably priced for the quality.

I don’t often read or write reviews but the lunch we had today was fantastic! Some of the restaurants and bars in tourist hotspots are quite disappointing in my opinion as they always get trade in the summer season without much effort. After looking for seafood restaurants we booked lunch at the Beach house, very welcoming staff and lovely food. We all picked the food we were going to order before we arrived but the specials today included lobster and giant prawns . Going back with more friends on Thursday lunchtime as it’s been the highlight of our holiday. Even the side salad was so tasty with herbs and balsamic etc. Our best lunch for a fair while in a very chilled relaxed environment!!

We ate here last year and it was exceptional, hence eating here this year. All the staff were friendly and attentive, but what was particularly nice was that the chef came out to talk to us as well. The food is of the best quality and really tasty. In one of our chats with the chef, my wife asked if there was anything I could have for pudding as I have a few annoying allergies. He went through what was on the standard menu and said that none of it would fit my allergies. He sympathised that I always ended up with fruit salad or sorbet and then came up with a suggestion for what he could make specially from the ingredients he had in the kitchen. I have to say that I was delighted. What he produced was just amazing (see the picture). Rather than feeling like a 3rd class citizen, for once I felt like someone was actually willing to go the extra mile. Thank you, you made my holiday :-)

The understated exterior doesn’t seem to promise great things but, if you are lucky enough to have booked a table here, you’ll be in for a real treat. From the moment you are greeted by the delightful Mazz, you are in very good hands. Covid-responsible too, which I found most reassuring. And the food! All I can say is that Mazz’s colleagues in the kitchen are highly talented. Presentation and flavours absolutely sensational. I can personally recommend the smoked mackerel bruschetta starter. A wonderfully colourful and tasty warm up. And the sea bass fillet with large tiger prawn, new potatoes, soft boiled eggs and salad. The crispness of the skin on the sea bass with the soft, plump and succulent flesh underneath was cooked to perfection. Heavenly! I know too that my dining companions hugely enjoyed their dressed crab and prawn linguini respectively; certainly those dishes also looked fabulous. We rounded a superb meal in style with a rich, meltingly warm chocolate brownie cake. Just the thing to prepare us for an afternoon walk around Morte Point. When next coming to Woolacombe, we will definitely try to reserve a table here.

We had a fantastic lunch and were well looked after by Mazz and the team. The venue is nice and airy with views of the stunning Woolacombw beach.The locally sourced seafood was superb and beautifully prepared. We had a range of food including the smoked mackerel, cod and lobster with prawns. A word of advice, the restaurant was fully booked in the evening but if you are flexible then look for a lunch/afternoon sitting.You won't be disappointed by this delightful restaurant

Today our family of 4 experienced the most amazing lunch.We can not fault anything to do with the booking process, food and service.Every single meal we ordered was cooked to perfection and served with a smile. (It was even great to have a bit of banter with the wonderful chef).Mazz and everyone who work there (sorry we did not get your names), we can't thank you enough for a memorable experience.P.S. You serve THE BEST SCOTCH EGGS EVER!We would definitely return if we come back to the area.

An excellent evening for our family including our dog. Terrific service and all the courses were a delight. Great menu and specials made selecting difficult. We would have happily returned but of course fully booked.

I joined friends for a couple of nights, who were staying locally for the week. They said that this was the best meal they had had during the week.The mussels were excellent and mackerel starter also. Everything perfectly cooked. The cod with lobster sauce and seabass "nicoise" salad also very good and yummy fries. As a Coeliac I felt very comfortable eating here and was very reassured by the staff. They also had a separate gluten free fryer so I could have chips. The mussels were served with a gluten free bread roll and were the best mussels I have had for a few years. No ill effects afterwards.As we left they mentioned that they also do a GF Sunday lunch and not just removing half of the normal gluten items ! They make GF yorkshire puddings, gravy and cauliflower cheese. Unfortunately I was leaving before then.It's not the cheapest place, most others in Woolacombe seem to be more burger and chips/pizza type places, but it was well worth it. Two courses for four people, plus 1 bottle of wine, soft drink and 1 dessert came to about £170 which I thought was good value for excellent food.

To visit a restaurant when you have had great meals in the past can be risky especially when you bring the family with high expectations. This place was like our local postman and always delivered. Hot mackerel, mussels , crab with chunky chips ,fresh prawns linguine all served beautifully. It’s not the Savoy in decor but 5 star in food .

My wife and I, together with two close friends were looking for an outstanding restaurant during our 3 night stay at Woolacombe. Second night we discovered The Beach House and were blown away by the quality of food, as well as the amazing service from Scott and Maz. We were so impressed that we wanted to go back for our finalNight. Fully booked, which was not surprising. Maz called later that day to say late cancellation because of the Euros; would we still like to book? Would we!!! Fresh lobster was the order of the day and, yet again, absolutely outstanding food and service. Thank you, you two, for an experience to be long remembered

We pre-booked a week or two in advance, which was just as well. This popular little restaurant was fully booked and turning walk-ins away (they'd clearly signposted they were fully booked, but I guess people like to check for themselves!). The menu is not long, but is packed with appetizing options, and a great range of kid's meals too. We only went for mains: two dressed crab with citrus salad, chunky chips and garlic lemon dip;one seafood linguine;and a child's chicken goujons. All were delicious and delivered to our table reasonably quickly by the chef himself (this is a two-person outfit at present, with the welcoming Maz (she) front of house. One minor cavil about the crab; the citrus was slightly overwhelming (in the salad, in the dip and in the dressed crab itself - I'd suggest dropping or reducing it in the crab). However, it was still delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. The linguine was a bit DIY - which I like - requiring extraction of the meaty mussels from their shells and de-shelling of the giant prawns. A finger bowl was provided. They don't turn the tables at lunch, adding to the relaxed vibe. Excellent.

Really good food. We had scotch eggs followed by dressed crab platters which came with piping hot chunky chips, warm bread and salad.Reservations essential; if we’d been able to we’d have returned later in our week away but they were fully booked as most places in the area.If I’m being honest, the place could do with smartening up a bit. It’s not the sharpest looking eatery we’ve dined in and the food warrants more.

The chef is passionate about the food he puts on your plate and it was a truly memorable experience. The owner Mazz has created a warm ambience . She made us feel very welcome and it was a pleasure to dine there. The Beach House is a little gem. ! Thankyou Mazz

Had family lunch here as 4 adults. Terrific seafood menu. Between us we had the cod, sea bass and linguini off the specials menu. All were perfect - beautifully cooked and very generous portions. Special mention for the service. One lady running front of house and doing an excellent job!!! Would definitely recommend

Woolacombe enjoys being one of those seaside resorts that seems somehow preserved in a bit of a time warp. The Beach House is set along a row of shops and at first glance, doesn't grab you as a likely calibre restaurant. Once seated in the unremarkable interior (perhaps due to the Covid restrictions), you discover the menu offers intelligent, exciting and original dishes and sets you up for a great treat. Each of us were impressed with our choice, served hot, exceptionally well presented and tasting sublime. I briefly offered my thanks to the chef and his team who we met as we left, I'd like to send our thanks to all the staff. We will return.

We popped in last year when visiting Woolacombe.. and on remembering this we booked in to visit for lunch during our stay in Croyde. We had a lovely coastal walk from Croyde and it was topped off by our lunch here. We had the cod and the crab and it was superb. A nice chilled out venue and the host was charming... I believe if she had £1 for every person she had to turn away she would be very wealthy! So book well in advance, especially for an evening meal.

Recently enjoyed a really great Sunday lunch here. Exmoor lamb roast was best roast lamb we have had. Generous slices of jamb on a roast potato stack with 4 dishes of additional vegetables.Really great service as well.We are used to paying a premium for Lamb but that is not the case here. The kids portion at £6 is the smallest we gave ever seen anywhere.They deserve to be busy and we sincerely wish we lived closer!

Well organised, buzzing restaurant that was packed out and we soon found out why. Large plates of freshly cooked food including local steaks and of course fish, an extensive and reasonable wine list and friendly service. The dressed crab and the cod get particular mention - as does the king prawn pasta - proper king prawns which were large and perfectly cooked. No room for desserts unfortunately - maybe next time!

Took my wife for a surprise birthday treat meal. Luckily I booked it on 11th June for a meal on 1st July, as this great place is booked up three weeks in advance.The welcome from the bar man, was friendly and welcoming. We arrived early, so ahad a drink outside with views of the sea of Woolacombe Beach.We were then shown to our sea view table and had further drinks while we chose our food. I went for Mussels to start, and the cod for main course. My wife had carrots and home made humous, followed by sirloin steak. All the food was cooked to perfection. Service was fast and very friendly. We will most certainly be wanting to return.

We booked an early evening table for dinner. We had read very good reports and weren’t disappointed. Really good and friendly service, high standard of cleanliness and above all, wonderful food. It’s not a huge menu but in my view that’s a good thing. We both had fish dishes which were delicious, attractively presented and filling. We would have no hesitation in recommending the restaurant and would certainly visit again.

A shining beacon in a sea of mediocrity. Simply the best food we ate in Woolacombe.Our only disappointment was we couldn’t get another table later in the week.Mazz was lovely and her “parents “ where nice to meet. Mazz will recognise this comment (hopefully). The chef who I assume was the owner came out for a bit of respite was very amicable and we would of gone back but alas it was not be.Simply wonderful.

Our first visit to this restaurant and my daughter and I could not resist the allure of lobster and king prawn ( specials of the day ) and husband and son had venison/wild boar burger. The lobster dish was fantastic !! Although it was accompanied by garlic lemon butter, you actually won’t need it as it is so tasty as it is. Smallish but firm, fresh. Better than any lobsters we had in Phuket etc. Even more impressed with the tiger prawn that came with it. Again, super fresh and meaty !! Wow!! … so this dish came with skinny fries and simple but pleasant salad - is it worth 35 pounds ? Ummm… given the location ( a few minutes from the famous beach) and the freshness of the ingredients, probably yes. The boys enjoyed the burger but I think you should go for seafood here - as I spied on other seafood dishes coming out of kitchen - all look delicious ! The service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is more like a cafe in its appearance, but the food was superb. Only wished we could try for scrumptious sounding starter and puddings. Next time definitely !! ( booking totally necessary- it was fully booked for dinner but managed to get a table for lunch. Lots of kids menu and the staffs seemed to be very accommodating re small kids/ babies , but I would not take little ones as the restaurant is very small and narrow and nowhere to hide with grumpy babies as practically no outside tables etc - witnessed our fellow diners struggled a bit)

I was impressed from the moment we stepped into the restaurant. The welcome was warm and friendly and even the explanation of the Covid rules was completed sympathetically.The menu had a full list of Sunday roast options but also an interesting selection of other dishes. The lamb roast was perfectly cooked accompanied by cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, swede and broccoli as well as a huge Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. The Mediterranean Sea bass was delicious although a larger piece of sea bass would have been welcome. The crab salad was accompanied by perfectly cooked chips.Good wine list reasonably priced.Highly recommended

What a great find this restaurant was. Just had a fabulous meal that we could not fault in the quality of food or the service. I had mussels to start followed by the lobster. My husband had the mackerel followed by the cod in lobster bisque. All were excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The service was also superb. Mazz is a delight and a credit to the place. She mentioned me by name as I walked through the door following email correspondence - a personal touch that was appreciated. Thank you also to the chefs who cook the food - without them we wouldn’t have had such a superb meal. Just wonderful. If you manage to get to Woolacombe and want a great meal you cannot go wrong then book a table here!

2 of us had jacket spuds - one with beans and cheese and the other beans and bacon. The cheese was gorgeous and tangy and the bacon was lean and cooked to perfection. Lovely staff too.The menu is extensive for lunchtime fayre, including jacket spuds, paninis, omelettes, all day breakfasts (with veggie and vegan options), pasties, meals with chips, sandwiches and toasties, plus cakes and ice creams. Children's menu available too. We sat outside in the sun - but as this is Lynmouth, England the sun is not a given, but definitely a much appreciated bonus.Thanks all! Yummmm....
