The best restaurants in Beer and Branscombe East Devon South West

As soon as you step through the door you know the place is well run; with the shop shelves beautifully stacked. All the prices were very reasonable too. Like the shop, the cafe was spotless where we enjoyed coffee that was full of flavour, but not bitter. It was obvious the whole business was being well looked after and clients were made very welcome.

All the food was delicious and the staff were lovely

Very good tasting food, loved the homemade beef lasagna, brilliant service, everyone was very nice!

Fantastic food, service is great don't fill rushed, good atmosphere, thanks Mike and the team, see you next year.

We couldn't fault the amazing roast turkey we had for lunch last weekend. There is such a lovely relaxed atmosphere in this cosy pub. A real treat.

Amazing food eaten at this lovely local restaurant! We had the Xmas menu this time around and it was great, fantastic decor and the front of house team made sure we felt welcomed from the first moment to the last. Credit to Jess and her family, would highly recommend

Crab sandwiches on the beach….loved it. Cash only…….unbelievable how many people clearly dont have enough change for a pot of tea in their pockets these days. Lovely location, everything done properly. Don’t hesitate to walk down. PS Look after his £50 note 🤣

If you’re in the area, please do visit The Fountain Head Inn at Branscombe, an atmospheric and welcoming local. We had a delicious meal here in this friendly pub on the first evening of an Autumn break - in our newly acquired camper van - me, the wife and our elderly spaniel. We returned to our campsite much later that evening (about 1/3rd mile away up the hill), let the dog out for one last widdle, and just like that, he disappeared into the night. We spent the next two hours searching and calling for him to no avail. We had no option other than to go to bed, rise early and re-launch our search. Our first call was to the campsite owners, who told my wife they had received a call from the pub saying that they had our spaniel. It seemed that our dog had decided our old camper van accommodation fell short of his expected standards and had returned down the hill to The Fountain to book himself a room for the night. The publicans had recognised him from earlier and tried to find us on the campsite; having failed, they put him up for the night and gave him breakfast. They would accept no offer of payment so we decided that the best idea was to post this message thanking them for going to so much trouble on our behalf - it’s very much appreciated.

We went here today for breakfast, I had the veggie breakfast and my husband had the Cosy breakfast. Both lovely, using quality ingredients, plentiful and cooked well. Staff are really nice too. Love it there. Also a little gift shop selling classy, reasonably priced items.

Beautiful breakfast. I especially enjoyed my veggie brekkie. I'm not a fan of veggie sausages or bacon so this breakfast was perfect. It was hot ( I can't bear cold plates) and lots of tea.

Lovely looking building but currently not in use. Apparently the National Trust is having difficulty finding a tenant. Check before visiting.

I arrived at the cafe with my son, and we were immediately told to move to a smaller table even though the cafe was empty. They asked if I could wait until 12pm for lunch, so I said I'd order drinks in the meantime. My son (aged 7) was finishing off a last bite of a sausage roll from the bakery and the waiter was very abrupt about no food from other places. We left and consequently they lost perhaps £20 in sale. I just felt like we were a hassle to and contrary to the sign saying 'all are welcome' we felt anything but.

Very friendly staff, great food, lovely atmosphere and acceptable wait time. Definitely will come again!

An old school pub, dog friendly, no food but a good selection of drinks and a lovely log burner.

The most miserable barman you could meet, hopefully after the refurbishment things will improve
