Modern European · Braunton
Twenty-five years in Croyde has earned this place its regulars, and it's an easy one to land with children — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor tables by the river where you can sit in the shade while everyone eats at their own pace. The staff stay friendly even when it's heaving, and portions are famously enormous: the local mussels in cider and samphire come piled high enough that one visitor mistook a starter for a main, and the lamb curry gets talked about long after the holiday ends. Gluten-free and vegan choices are properly done, not afterthoughts, and the coffee and smoothies are worth a stop on their own. It fills up fast in season, so go early or expect to queue, and service can drift when the room is full. Ice cream shop next door.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
