Hele's Kitchen in North Devon

This business did not re-open in 2024. Whilst the staff and food were clearly excellent the least they could have done was close the web presence. Our stay at Beach Cove was partly based on the 100 % 5 star ratings on Hele’s Kitchen, gutted when we got here to find it shut down.

We recently stayed at Beach Cove for 8 nights for our honeymoon, we had Hele’s Kitchen last year when we was here and was impressed. This year we had it again and it was better than ever, so much we had it three nights in a row. We had tried the other local eateries but nothing compared to here. It really is a 5* little independent takeaway. The staff are all lovely and friendly and orders are always correct. The food is so tasty. My husband is a burger connoisseur and although we have tried many establishments this is hands down the best burger for him. So tasty and juicy. The portion sizes are generous and you are never hungry after. If you are staying at Beach Cove or the surrounding area give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Good menu, great food, recommended to us by the owner of Hele Valley camp site where we were staying... And they were right, delicious and not expensive. And friendly staff!

I had the Whitby Scampi and Chips tonight. Absolutely fabulous!! So much food and really tasty. The best scampi I've had for ages. Lovely friendly proprietors. Definitely going back again.

What a fantastic place. A great menu, freshly cooked and delicious. I had the Philly Chicken Sub with chips, my husband had the Cowboy Burger. Super friendly staff too, we'll definitely be back. Thank you

Been to Hele Bay two years running and our fourth visit to Hele’s kitchen did not disappoint. Maria, Tom and the crew are so helpful with our dietary requirements. The Stilton burger and the Philly cheesecake were brilliant. The plain burgers were extremely tasty and exceptional. We will be coming back next year!

Wow! Food was amazing so was the service stayed at Coastal Retreat called Hele's Kitchen 15 minutes later walked down to collect Maria was lovely. Definitely recommend and will be returning thankyou x

I have visited Hele Bay every summer for the last ten years. The opening of Hele's Kitchen is a definite plus for the area as there are limited places to eat unless you walk into Ilfracombe. We had takeaway dinners twice last year and were so impressed we did the same last week! Chicken burgers and Shroom Burger not be missed and excellent sides of chips and salad - freshly prepared and delicious! My only regret is not popping back to buy the relish they serve and also sell, never tasted one so good. See you next year!

I'm so glad you have 92 unanimous 5 star reviews. We ordered consecutive days last week on holiday. Highly recommend the burgers. Freshly cooked food and friendly and excellent staff. Cheers. Highly recommended

We had a takeaway last night. Ordering was easy, they took our order over the phone and it was ready at the time we requested. Food was amazing we had the special of the day, soft tacos and a Philly cheese steak. It was hot, fresh and there was plenty of it. So good we will be back soon!

Great takeaway burgers, clearly handmade with quality ingredients :) Quick and friendly service. Just what we needed after a day out - definitely recommended

Fantastic food would recommend hidden little gem.. Had the king prawn salad was fresh and so tasty.. Had steak Philly, chicken fillet burger and prawn po" boy all amazing.

Absolutely brilliant.... would definitely recommend...pity we only found it at the end of our holiday

Great food, lovely owners, very knowledgeable about Celiac disease and great care taken to avoid cross contamination

We collected our BBQ Box this evening. Consisting of side salad, corn bread, Beef brisket, chicken breast. Separate Apple coleslaw and home made bbq sauce. Absolutely amazing.

This is a lovely little takeaway. The food was cooked fresh and tasted fresh too. The food came nice and hot and was great portions. The prawns tasted fresh and bread roll was fresh. Highly recommend and would definitely go back.

Here on holiday. After an average pub meal last night we had an amazing take away dinner from here tonight. Food well priced, we each had a main, then shared a side of chips (crispy and we found we had plenty to share), and shared...

Excellent takeaway on last night of a short stay up the road. Friendly staff who wanted to please. Would certainly recommend you try it.

We order from here fairly often, always tasty, well presented and decently priced food, served by friendly and helpful people.

Fabulous BBQ last Saturday. An extensive selection of delicious burgers served all afternoon. We enjoyed our Pulled Pork burgers for lunch very much, served with homemade apple sauce and coleslaw. We then returned late afternoon for a cheese and bacon burger with fries, equally delicious....

What a great place to eat!! Maria &Tom are fantastic cooks !! I enjoyed a pulled pork bap with home-made apple sauce - so good actually that I went back for another one later!! Maria makes all the dishes from scratch including yummy desserts, cakes,...

Wonderful food from here again We had the Philly with all of the sides The homemade coleslaw is the best we have ever had Got to be the best best place in Hele/Ilfracombe to get food

Absolutely wonderful burgers from Hele’s Kitchen on Whitsun weekend. Cooked outside on the bbq by Tom with all the lovely extra touches, salad, sauces and very yummy baps. Great vegan, celiac’s etc options catered for as well.

Lovely food, freshly cooked. Nice people. Grabbed some food & sat down on the lovely beach nearby. Menus has a good variety of food.

Fabulous, reasonably priced food served by friendly welcoming people. Caters for all types of diets. We ordered a halloumi burger and a lamb burger. Both delicious but the chips were some of the best I have ever had.

Order prepared on time, plenty of it and great quality all greeted with a friendly smile. Not expensive either

Dropped into here on way back from Ilfracombe to Combe Martin. Philly Cheesteak was absolutely gorgeous - very generous filling and loads of crispy chips. My wife had the chicken burger and thought exactly the same. Onion rings were plentiful and tasty. Brilliant little place...

We had scampi and chips and the food was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. The staff were very polite and friendly We will definitely be going again soon. Definitely would recommend to friends and family.

Taco Wednesday!!! Bumped into this brilliant place when we were walking back to our caravan. Soaked to the bone, this warmed our hearts and tummies. £9.95 for 4 tacos, 2 chicken and 2 steak. Lots of salsa, sour cream, guacamole and lovely refried beans. Perfect.

Tried the new chipotle chicken burgers, very nice too. Came with chips and we also had a great side salad. Highly recommend this takeaway. Tom, Maria and their staff are super friendly, glad we live just round the corner.

As a local to Hele Bay we use Heles Kitchen as our takeaway treat. Often taking our meals and eating them on the beach. From loaded Burgers and Philly subs to breakfast baps and beef Currys, Maria really goes out of her way to make...

Visiting in mid November. Staff were really friendly and gave our dog a lovely welcome which he enjoyed. The food was good and good value, and only took 10 mins. Well worth a visit for a takeaway lunch if your in the Hele bay area.

Brilliant idea, takeaway roast dinner. Winter hours, so only open one day this week. I ordered by phone & picked up at the agreed time, the following day. We both had roast turkey. Great quality & lots of it. All locally sourced ingredients, with homemade...
