Seafood Central

Like most of the towns and villages in south Devon, Kingsbridge is a hot spot for incredible sea food dishes. With much of the produce coming from the estuary or from neighbouring Salcombe, it is not only fresh, but also low in food miles. Choose from fresh fish, lobster, crab, crayfish, mussels and more at a whole host of local restaurants and eateries, many of them will even say exactly where in the south of Devon your dinner has come from, so you can choose from Brixham Shellfish or fish from the estuary itself

The seafood here might be delicious, but we also know it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, if you’re not a big fan of shellfish or seafood, don’t panic, there are plenty of things for you to choose from too. The surrounding landscape is perfect for growing crops and rearing meat so whatever you fancy for dinner, you can enjoy something locally produced and then locally created right here in the Kingsbridge area

Make sure to leave room for dessert

It might be a bit of a challenge to leave room for some dessert when you see what is on offer on the main menus, but make sure to give it a try. Devon is famous for its dairy products, particularly cream, custard, ice cream and of course, cheese, so give the menu a peruse and make sure to ask for extra custard or cream on your sweet treats.

Cuisine for all over the world

When it comes to choosing somewhere to go for dinner, it can be tricky to narrow down exactly what you fancy. Luckily, in Kingsbridge, there are a whole host of restaurants offering a wide range or cuisine from across the world on their menus, so whether you are in the mood for Italian, Indian, Middle Eastern or good old traditional British fare, you’ll be spoilt for choice here. You can either choose to go for one of the themed restaurants that focuses on a particular cuisine or choose somewhere with a big selection so that everyone gets the meal that they want.
