The best restaurants in Ilfracombe East North Devon South West

What a beautiful tea room set in a covered little courtyard. We discovered this place after reading amazing reviews. The scones are home made and absolutely delicious with a fresh filtered coffee. Although slightly hidden away, it is well worth a drive for afternoon tea

A much loved Ilfracombe gem! Down on the farm, Lisa and Martin go above and beyond to make you welcome. A cosy farmhouse with genuine chunky farmhouse tables, you just sit there expecting a herd of cows to wander past the window! Delicious freshly made food, Sunday roasts are to die for with a never-ending supply of the tastiest veg. You can't possibly leave without sampling Martin's 'mega pavlova' even if you are bursting at the seams! Great outdoor area complete with bubbling stream, beautiful for summer a bbq. Off the beaten track down a narrow winding lane. Find it, try it, meet the awesome team. You won't be disappointed 😊

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.

Visiting Ilfracombe in June and wanted a light lunch. Thought it would be easier than parking in town as there's free carparking. What a find... The menu was refreshing.. Lovely choices and reasonably priced also the views and outside area so beautiful was a good choice. While there we checked out the evening menu and decided to call back later in the holiday. Would highly recommend a visit here day or evening. Friendly staff make you very welcome. Loved the look of the pimms cream tea. The food is really good and wonderfully presented will be definately coming back.

We had an outstanding meal from Ryan while on holiday with our 11 month old. Delicious restaurant quality food with none of the stress of chasing our toddler around a busy dining room full of other patrons! The food was excellent as was the service and he left the kitchen spotless. We would highly recommend for a luxurious but relaxed experience.

Ice creams expensive for what they are. Small, slightly stale cone. Not very cold ice cream. Disappointing. Chips looked OK, if slightly underdine.

A lovely setting, with a fantastic team, serving the most amazing food! We all thoroughly enjoyed both the food and drink, and May looked after us very well. This was our second visit to eat there and I would definitely recommend it to anyone that appreciates quality food in a warm and friendly environment. Thanks guys!

Visited while staying in the holiday park opposite, really nice food and good value on banquet night. Service wasn’t great there only appeared to be 2 people working but it wasn’t too busy so not really a problem.

Very nice, helpful staff and lovely food. I would definitely go again if I'm in the area.

Fabulous place to eat. We ate here, twice this week, as we were visiting. Once on New Year Eve, with our friends, 8 of us the food was excellent we all so tasty and hot. We ate again this evening, the food was plentiful, tasty and beautifully presented. Staff are very friendly. Beautiful setting, gorgeous log fire.

We live in Ilfracombe and not prone to eating out...today was impromptu....WOW was it worth it!!! Beef brisket amazing, Pork...outstanding....it is a must to visit👏👏👏
