Graze & Olive in East Devon

Sadly for me and for the Sidmouth vibe G&O has closed with no re-opening date available. Sad loss. Hope it comes back. Had a great evening here with excellent food and wine. The decor is clever and brings the vast, high ceiling of the old Post Office down into the bar. Recently under new ownership the bar delivers really good food that compliments the excellent choice of wines. Live music will become a staple of the bar, especially jazz and it is very well worth a visit for either a great wine or an interesting meal. Griff and Simone, the new owners, are warm and hospitable and took time to chat and share their vision for G&O. All the very best.

We only had a cold meat platter as we went here for some live music. The food was nice. Very lovely place and the tickets for some really good blues music were very reasonably priced.

There was a great band on tonight, bar was amazing, good prices and top vibe. Definitely coming back here next time I’m in Sidmouth.

Wonderful jazz evening. Food, service, & atmosphere excellent. With great jazz. Will certainly return.

A wonderful cocktail/wine/grazing bar run by a fantastic couple, lovely decor, great drinks and delicious cuisine in a very warm and delightful ambiance.

Amazing atmosphere on a friday night. Staff were very friendly and attentive.Good selection of drinks and food available ,Would highly recommend to anyone visiting sidmouth.

Nice place, lovely food and service. We went on Friday night, not very busy but hopefully people will discover this place soon and they will make it a regular venue for socialising. We are looking forward to going again soon to enjoy a live music evening with jazz, cocktails and nice food.

This is a really pretty little place, with great food and amazing cocktails. We had a lovely visit and will definitely be back. The Pate we had was absolutely amazing, the presentation of the food was lovely and everyone was super friendly and helpful. The only criticism I had was one of the waitresses/bar staff was wondering around chewing gum with her mouth open, which is slightly off putting when you are trying to eat! But this is definitely a place worth a visit!!

What a gem! This place is beautiful, with fantastic service and even better food. The sharing boards are lovingly created with only the best ingredients and the cocktails were spot on. We were treated to a great musician which just completed the amazing atmosphere. Having thoroughly enjoyed dinner, I can’t wait to return for breakfast and lunch soon!

Our after cinema supper was a delightful surprise. The Graze Board was lovingly put together and truly a work of art. Salad leaves, vine tomatoes, pickles, olives, grapes and crackers with a strawberry garnish. This plus a choice of generous portions of local cheese, artisan bread and butter and a tastefully arranged selection of meats: chorizo, salami and Parma ham. An absolutely ideal accompaniment to a glass of white wine (or a 0% beer for the driver). The ambience in the listed former Post Office is stylishly comfortable. But beyond the quality of the venue and the food and drink, what topped our evening's experience was the warmth and friendliness of Griff and Simone, our hosts. They explained their vision for the recently reopened café-bar, including plans for live music in the coming weeks. We left keen to return and hoping that many others will discover this gem and share our delight.

One of the most stylish places in Sidmouth. Nice cheese and cocktail selection. Only downside is that it's not always open.

We had a fantastic platter for two with generous sized cups of coffee. The food was delicious and the young lady serving was very friendly and gave us some tips for places to visit in the evening. The environment was modern with lively music to add atmosphere. A great place to visit for lunch even though some of the online listings said it was closed. A definite gem of Sidmouth and worth the walk up from the seafront

It's a warm and kind place . Nice service

This is a great alternative place to visit offering cheese boards with cold meals or loaded accompaniments for the vegetarian. Ideal if you want to share a bottle or two with friends and pick your way through the cheese boards over the course of several hours. The cheese boards are good with tasty cheeses. A single meat cheese board is probably not worth getting the meat if your partner is a vegetarian. Get the combo offers if you all like meat because there are more meats to be had. Otherwise vegetarian option is just as good with more pickles, olives, sundried tomatoes. The service was strange. They looked exhausted and little errors crept in and they struggled to explain clearly. They did their best and were friendly, but clearly needed a break. Also the cocktail deal means you have to buy two of the same and not any cocktail marked available for the deal. The decor and layout was good and they had live music and the two musicians were very good. As I say, a place to come for a long afternoon or evening with friends to chill, relax, drink wine and pick at your food, rather than your typical restaurant covers approach.

Came in for cocktails, very well made, and enjoyed in a nice relaxed atmosphere, love the quirky decor as well!

Loved it. Adapted sharing boards to suit our tastes. All amazing . Lovely ambience. Lovely staff.

Just eaten here this evening for my birthday meal with family. AMAZING grazing board, super friendly staff, very tasty cocktail as well! Would definitely recommend

Good choice of midday snacks and drinks not cheap but a nice place with cheerful and friendly staff

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. We had cocktails which were lovely and reasonably priced. Next time we go we will definitely try the food aswell.

Our first time at Graze and Olive. Excellent coffee and nice cake.Friendly and atmospheric. Very interesting menu.Will be returning for a sharing platter

I visited Graze & Olive on Saturday night for the first time. The graze boards were beautiful and very tasty and we got to choose which cheeses we wanted which was nice. Great wine and cocktail list too. Will definitely be back!

Lovely helpful staff, had the brie, bacon and cranberry toastie which was delicious. Good selection of wines and beers. Will definitely be returning soon.

Everything is top notch. Highly recommended Graze & Olive. Bacon, Brie and Cranberry toastie is the best I have ever had. Thank you for coming to Sidmouth

Amazing place, really enjoyed the food, so much choice on the menu. I highly recommend the grazing boards!! Will definitely go back

Our first visit to Graze and Olive and will not be our last. First class choice of cheese’s, wine combined with a relaxed atmosphere will ensure you’ll have an evening to remember for all the right reasons. Thank for all for an amazing evening. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just had lunch at Graze & Olive. We had the Grazing Sharing Board for 2. It was delicious. We will certainly be returning.

Sad to say, but the breakfast graze food was of mixed quality. Good fruit, stale pastries. If only they could source fresh pastries...

Delicious wine and cheese served in the charming period features of the old post office. We enjoyed the locally sourced cheese and spirits in the vibrant atmosphere of Graze & Olive.
