The chips were surprisingly fresh and crispy, a nice change from the usual soggy ones. Good portion size too.

The prawn cocktail was lovely, really fresh and crisp. Generous portion too. I always look for that quality in the seafood. The full English was cooked nicely, but the eggs could have been a touch less oily for my taste. Still, a solid choice for a weekend brunch.

A proper local spot, buzzing on a Saturday night. The old-school jazz in the background was just right for our group catch-up. We ended up staying way longer than planned!

Decent prices for a spot right by the sea. The menu&#39;s got good Thai food and simple toasties too, so everyone found something they liked.

Been coming here for years and the food&#39;s always spot on. Menu&#39;s got enough variety to keep things interesting.

Grabbed a quick slice of cappuccino cake and a coffee upstairs. Perfect for a fast bite. The sun was streaming in, windows open, really nice spot to just switch off for 20 mins. Cake was spot on.

Our son&#39;s 18th was here. He had the Tomahawk steak and said it beat a Michelin one he tried in France! 🥩 Made the night for him (and us, knowing it was safe for his coeliac diet).

Been coming here for years, and the curries are still spot on. The manager always remembers us and checks in, which is nice. Portions are generous, so you definitely get your money&#39;s worth. A bit pricier than some places, but the quality makes up for it.

The desserts are seriously decadent, almost too much after a full meal. The chocolate tart was so rich I could only manage a few bites, but those bites were incredible. A bit of a sugar overload, honestly.

The custom veggie dish was spicy and creamy, really thoughtful.

Perfect for a pre-theatre catch-up with friends! The bar is well-stocked, so we could grab a drink right away. Just book ahead on weekends.

Great spot for a bite after a stroll. Sat outside with a proper sea view. The calamari was crispy and the bacon sarnie hit the spot. Just what we needed.

Tried their banquet night with friends last Tuesday - it was surprisingly busy! The food was really good, and I love that you can bring your own drinks. The pilau rice was a little plain for me, but that&#39;s just personal taste. A solid spot for a group dinner.

The two-person set was massive, we couldn&#39;t finish it all! Everything was spot on, but the naan really stole the show &ndash; so fluffy and warm right out of the tandoor.

Breakfast was decent, coffee hit the spot. The view over the beach and the Cobb is the real draw here. Menu&#39;s got a lot on it, but honestly, for what you pay, the portions could be a bit more generous.

Lovely family-run place. The staff were so friendly and attentive, made the whole meal feel really relaxed. A nice find in Brixham.

Been here for a few weekend brunches. The owners are genuinely friendly and make an effort to chat. Food is solid, coffee is good. Seats are comfortable. It&#39;s a reliable spot, though it can get busy.

The hog roast roll was fresh and full of flavour, really hit the spot. The doughnuts were a nice touch too &ndash; the raspberry jam ones were my favourite. Just wish the roll was a bit bigger for the price, felt a little light.

Been meaning to try the February tasting menu here for a while. The courses were beautifully put together, with a nice play between delicate and bold notes. My only note is that the wine pairing felt a bit safe &ndash; could have been a touch more adventurous to match the food&#39;s creativity. Still, a lovely evening.
