The best restaurants in Budleigh East Devon South West

A very nice fish and chip lunch. Small intimate friendly place to eat. I’m told the fish is fresh and battered on site. Thank you.

Amazing crab sandwiches, cakes were good too. Such a lovely spot to enjoy lunch whilst walking the coast path. Thank you!!

Went here for lunch we thought it was lovely, the bacon cheese and spinach quiche was amazing lovely pastry. The Lemon tart very tasty. All the food was so lovely presented loved it! The little outside seating area they have made very pretty, will definitely come back when we visit again and have recommended to family.

Launchpad provided the catering for our eldest daughter wake with very short notice at the Croquet Club. The service and food provided was excellent both in the quality of choice and quantity. Would use them again for any future functions

Ordered chicken and donner kebabs, veggie kebab and cheesy garlic bread. Can’t fault this place. Girl on till was pleasant and took our order. Food was lovely, lots of fresh salad and warm pittas. Would recommend 👍🏼😁

Best mocha coffee I’ve ever had. Whenever I’ve ordered mocha elsewhere, it would be more reminiscent of hot chocolate but here it was ‘just right’. We’ve had a curry soup, pesto toastie and cheesecake. Everything was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced - what a find! Feels homey with a relaxed atmosphere. We will be back!

Use this cafe regularly. Great staff and food always superb. Coffee is good and always made welcome. I had the Nacho’s yesterday which were fantastic. Keep up the great work. If you are in Budleigh go to this place 👍👍👍

Charming cafe connected to the church. As it was a lovely day we sat in the sunshine in the garden. We enjoyed cups of tea, apricot flapjack, and banana loaf. Excellent service and lovely staff. Thankyou for refreshments after a long hot walk

We came in because it was pouring with rain, we were immediately welcomed so warmly that we dried off quickly. Only intended to have a hot drink but stayed for lunch. Teacakes, tuna mayo toastie, chorizo panino and salmon cream cheese bagel ordered and all were fantastic. Would recommend to anyone visiting this lovely coastal village

I ate here on Friday night with my wife and mother. The first impression was good as we were warmly welcomed by name by a lady called Tyra. After being seated a friendly young chap called Sam came and took our drinks order. He recommended a bottle of Simonsig Rose and it was excellent. We ordered a couple of starters to share (burrata and pickles and the other was prawns and octopus) both were divine and I was disappointed that I had agreed to share mine. Main course was cornfed chicken supreme x 3 with assorted mushrooms and a delicious sauce. It was absolutely outstanding. The ladies loved their desserts whilst I enjoyed a lovely glass of house Cab Sauv. The chef is a chap called Jake West. Watch out for him as he is going far. He creates intensively flavoured, utterly delicious dishes and serves them in decent size portions. They must be the gateway to gluttony as despite the generous portion sizes I was left craving for more. With Jake’s cooking and Sam and Tyra looking after the guests Brooks Kitchen have landed themselves a cracking team. Highly recommended. I think they are only open Friday and Saturday night. One tip for the owners, some acoustic tiles would really help. As there are no soft furnishings at all, once everyone’s had a drink or two the volume increases and suddenly everyone is shouting due to the building (an old bank) being very echoey. Acoustic tiles would maximise customer satisfaction and ensure your booking list grows a few months in advance. Fortunately, once everyone began eating Jake’s food conversation reduced to a whisper, a testimony to that young man’s culinary skills.

A limited range of decent quality food which is well presented. If you like your coffee you will not be disappointed and if you like "flat white" it's the best you will find. Try the scones too; yummy.

Lovely afternoon Devon cream tea! The Cherry Bakewell scone was probably one of the best I’ve ever had, and judging by my waistline, I’ve had a few! Lovely setting, sat in the outside terrace in a warm afternoon! Will definitely make the effort to come here again on a trip to the wet country!

Gingerbread house cafe is a lovely local coffee/breakfast/lunch spot on the high st, just up from the beach. I recently ordered a cream tea for two box to be delivered to my mother for her birthday as I live far away. She loved it, it was fresh and delicious and included sandwiches, scones, clotted cream and all the fixings, and she couldn’t have been happier to be surprised on her birthday with a friendly face and a special delivery. They are also very active in the community and offered free lunches for school kids during Covid. A great cafe!

We stopped off here looking for a bite to eat at an independent place. We were really impressed. Abi was so friendly and helpful. We throughly enjoyed our food and the place was so friendly. We will definitely return. Thanks so much for making our week.

Absolutely lovely food! Best Chinese I e had in a long time. We had 4 different dishes and each one was excellent! We have taleaway and picked up, was still piping hot when we got back home. Would highly recommend!
