The Bay Brasserie
The Bay Brasserie is a beachside hub for foodies. You'll find hearty lunches, gourmet sandwiches, cream teas and fresh cakes, frothy coffees, impressive cocktails, and gorgeous gastronomic dinners.
Both family and dog-friendly, there's so much to love here. From the hand-stretched pizzas, stonebaked in the restaurant's pizza oven, to the locally sourced gourmet burgers, freshly-landed seafood, and delicate Mediterranean pasta dishes...there is something for all appetites and occasions.
Located within our sister property the Woolacombe Bay Hotel, the Bay Brasserie is just a short stroll from your Beach Retreat.
Bar Electric
Bar Electric is a cocktail bar with a sun terrace, serving lunch, light snacks, pizza, burgers, Vegan, and gluten-free options are all on the menu. We highly recommend the Piggy Fries and Mexican Fries - they're the best loaded fries in North Devon!
