About The River Shack, Devon

Right on the water outside Totnes, this is the kind of spot that works whether you've got a toddler mid-meltdown or a whole family celebrating something. Buggy access is easy, there are high chairs and a kids' menu, and the team have a reputation for being genuinely warm with small children rather than merely tolerant. The hash stack gets rapturous mentions at breakfast, and later in the day it's wood-fired pizzas with a crispy thin crust, proper burgers and good fries. Outdoor seating for sunny afternoons, a fire going inside when it's cold, and hot chocolate worth the drive. Two honest snags: parking is £6, though that covers all day, and the kitchen can stop taking orders when it's slammed at weekends — so book, and don't arrive hungry on spec.
