So close to the beach you can have lunch in your swimsuit, the Winking Prawn sits just over the road from North Sands in Salcombe. Welcoming visitors for more than 20 years, our particular brand of shabby chic beach restaurant always buzzes with activity

Had a meal here and the food and service was really good. Considering it was a wet October evening the restaurant was buzzy and I suspect iit is very busy in the summer. Donât miss the chance to go here

Waterside brasserie serving Local Fish, Shellfish and West Country Beef with a fusion twist! Large outside decking area directly overlooking the beautiful Salcombe Estuary.

Two visits aborted due to the restaurant just closing their doors when they feel like it. No notice given on website or at the door. Suggest you try the more amenable South Sands Hotel where the concept of opening a restaurant at meal times has been embraced.

The CRABSHELL INN is gloriously situated on the quayside in Kingsbridge and with its south westerly aspect basks in the sun all day. The Crabshell is gaining a fine reputation as an eatery of distinction with an increasingly acclaimed menu. The Inn is âch

We enjoyed the location and atmosphere of this restaurant. Our party enjoyed the kids pizza, scallops and most of all the mussels. The mussels were plump, tasted great and excellent value as the portions were generous. Others said the crab salad was not good value, especially compared to the crab sandwich and the crab meat was average tasting. The Crabshell bouillabaisse was disappointing due to the taste of the stew. The service was very slow as they was busy.

The same family run business, serving beautifully prepared, fresh local fish has moved to an exciting new location. Located above The Kings Arms with a breathtaking views of the harbour and a complete refurbishment, many of your old favourites will be on

Picked this speciality fish restaurant based on the trip advisor rating and positive reviews. Sadly our experience didn't match.We loved the décor & ambience, the concept of choosing 3 fish (pan) or 6 fish (platter), choice of accompaniments and sides and the food was indeed first class. The quality of the fish, expertly cooked was beautifully presented.However, the prices are extortionate - £26 for the pan/£37 for the platter! â and if you wanted lemon sole or lobster it is additional £8.50 or £10.50 respectively!Unfortunately, the service was lacking for such first-class food. Only two staff, leading to lengthy waits and an all-round lack of attention. Our waitress was unable to answer questions about the types of fish on offer or whether it was local, which we suggest in a speciality fish restaurant is poor and the other member of staff, who we believe may have been the manager, was not even in uniform, wearing a pair of scruffy jeans and sweatshirt. She even expressed a lack of desire to have to go downstairs to get a particular beer requested. Despite having shellfish which required fingers, we were not offered finger bowls or bowls for the shells, not even an additional napkin. Complimentary water was not offered either. It seems a shame, as we have previously said, the quality of the food was first class and clearly, the chefs are doing a top job. But if you want to have an establishment charging these kind of prices, the experience and service must match.

Visited here in October 2019 and was so good we came back for a second successive night. The garlic prawns and scallops to start are really simple and well done but it is the specials that I would so recommend. We had the hake with creamed spinach which I think was the best piece of fish I have ever eaten and my wife had the whole crab which she has not stopped talking about. For fish eaters I think this is the place to go in Salcombe. Prices are also very reasonable, two courses plus wine for 2 for under £90.Thanks for returning.Glad you enjoyed the specials. Our specials generally come in daily so they are fresh, fresh, fresh.Appreciate your lovely review.

We loved the feeling of eating inside what felt like a cosy little shack on a wild stormy afternoon. From the tiny kitchen emerged delicious plates of fish & seafood; squid/whitebait tempura - style, spicy prawns & mussels, grilled bass, chips & salad. Nothing fancy but nicely done. Whilst not particularly cheap, it was worth it for the quintessential English seaside experience; staff were charming too.

Located over looking the beach at Challborough, we walked from nearby Bigbury on sea (less than 10 minutes walk).Three courses for three of us with soft drinks about £65. The restaurant isn't licensed so bring your own (corkage charge applies).Beautiful food with attentive service from Hans, whilst watching the sun go down and surfers catching the waves. What more could you ask for.
