Food & Drink
With its proximity to the sea, and with local fishermen, farmers and butchers offering such an abundance of fresh produce, South Devon is the perfect holiday destination for the foodie! Enjoy an almost endless choice of restaurants, distilleries, farmer’s markets, and delis to sample the best the local area has to offer.
And Devon has no shortage of Food & Drink festivals throughout the year. Don’t miss the Salcombe Crab Festival (May) celebrating ‘all things seafood’, the sustainably-run Kingsbridge Food & Music Festival (June) and the Dartmouth Food Festival (October), described by the Guardian as one of the top 10 festivals in the UK.
The Journey's End Inn is a 13th century free house in the village of Ringmore, which is on the South Devon coast in an area known as the South Hams. Having four fires to enjoy in the winter months and with a main bar area, nelsons bar, dining room, the story room, conservatory and large beer garden, there’s plenty of room for everyone in the family.
This is our favourite place to eat nearby, as a family we have been going there for years and couldn't recommend it more!
The Oyster Shack
Caught, sourced and foraged from the surrounding area, and naturally they pride themselves on their seafood and shellfish. In particular we recommend their oysters which are the purest around following an extended two week purification process.
The Ship Inn
Enjoy good, fresh, homemade food, great beers and interesting wines, whilst surrounded by wooden floors, old furniture, log fires, bookcases and dozens of local pictures.
The Seahorse
Their restaurant, situated on the banks of the River Dart in Dartmouth, specialises in seafood cooked over an open charcoal fire. They are lucky to have some of the best fish and shellfish in the world landed right there and in the fish market over the water in Brixham.
