Newcoast Kitchen

This lovely restaurant in Croyde owned by our friends Matt and Nicole is a must visit. We love their food, their personal service, their style and the way everything is so thoughtfully prepared. You are in for a treat here but make sure you book as there are limited tables and it is super popular.

The Porthole Café

This fabulous café is situated between Putsborough and Woolacobe just up above the beach on the footpath. It’s a great stop if you walk from Pickwell down the footpath to the Porthole then double back in a loop via Putsborough. They serve delicious lunches, cakes, drinks and local ice cream. Just below the café there is a clearing of logs on the National Trust land to take your drink and admire the view.

Something Special
NC noel corston (Woolacombe)

A trail-blazing, multi-award-winning restaurant based in Woolacombe.  The chef/owner Noel, is a dad at the school with us, and his gorgeous wife Nora provides fantastic table service. They offer one fixed tasting menu which is built around the seasons, reflecting our immediate North Devon environment at any given moment in time.  

This one needs to go in the 'treat' night of your holiday as it is definitely one for the grown-ups, a truly one-off personal and unique experience. 
Guests dine at the Chef's Counter which accommodates 8 and there is only one sitting per evening so be sure to book well in advance.
