About The Smugglers Restaurant

Right on the quay in Ilfracombe, this one earns its harbour views — the inside is done out like a smuggler's cave, with nautical bits and pieces hanging from the walls and ceiling, which tends to keep children busy while you wait for food. It's a small place that fills up fast and doesn't open until the afternoon, so book if you can; walk-ins are often taken, but expect a wait at weekends. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and buggy access is fine. Service is friendly and unfussy — one family asked to skip a side and the plates still came out full. The seafood is the thing: fat garlic prawns, cod and chips, the Sunday carvery. Portions are generous, prices fair for the quality, though a few dishes land better than others.
