Restaurant · Woolacombe
Fine dining that somehow doesn't feel like it — the atmosphere is relaxed, the music chilled, and the staff are warm enough that turning up for lunch with a pram and asking for two starters instead of a main is genuinely no trouble. It's an oasis of calm off the bustle of Woolacombe seafront, with outdoor seating catching the sun over the beach, high chairs and a kids' menu. Seafood is the thing: local crab, oysters, mackerel bruschetta, the fish of the day, seafood linguine, and chips people rave about. Portions are generous, everything arrives properly seasoned, and the team happily steers you through the wine list. Two honest snags — it's not cheap for the quality on offer, and booking is essential in season, as walk-ins often find the last table already gone.
