Restaurants · Ilfracombe
Tucked away on a campsite near Ilfracombe, this little pub-restaurant is cosier and homelier than the setting suggests — proper fireside-pub feel, with outdoor seating and free parking right there, so you can unload the pram without circling for a space. The Sunday roast is what people come back for: roast beef with a genuinely startling number of trimmings, cheesy broccoli and leeks that get singled out, and portions that defeat most adults. Sticky toffee pudding has a local reputation as "legendary". Staff are warm and unhurried with families and make a fuss of dogs too. Book if you're coming Sunday — locals treat it as their regular and it fills up by early afternoon, especially in high season. Not everything lands every time; the roasts are the safest bet. Kids' menu and high chairs available.
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.
