Scone With the Wind

Devon has arguably some of the best produce to be found anywhere in the world. With its perfect location perched on two separate coastlines and its two national parks, is it any wonder we have so much choice of food and drink? Our mission (that we have chosen to accept): to sample as many different eateries as is humanly possible. We're relishing the challenge. But we're not done yet! Come and join us on our journey...

We have an array of vineyards, gin distilleries and cider makers as well as a vast of selection of farm shops, dotted all over the county. We are famous for our pasties and of course, the cream tea. Our favourite settings for this most English of treats is Lympstone Manor, owned by celebrity chef, Michael Caines, and, (drum roll, please...) Burgh Island, of course. For many of the restaurants we mention on this tour, early booking is essential. Taylors Tea Room in Ashburton offer a fantastic choice of loose leaf teas and plenty of cakes, if you fancied something a little less formal.

You might want to Delve into one of our picnics, created especially for you. Enjoy it on a beach or perhaps you would like to dine on Dartmoor, maybe with one of our signature cocktails or an indulgent hot chocolate...

A word of advice... perhaps don't have any breakfast today!

Tour Highlights:

  • Brixham - home to England's largest fish market by volume of fish sold. Dine outside from one of the seafood vendors overlooking the harbour, or pop into Rockfish or the stunning Berry Head Hotel for something more a la carte

  • Dartmouth - visit the Seahorse restaurant owned by chef Mitch Tonks or enjoy a selection of exquisite small plates at Andria. A more casual approach could be the Crab Shell, our favourite hole in the wall or the Smith Street Deli
