The Folly

On Lower Well Farm, the home of Sandridge Barton wines, you’ll find this lovely converted barn serving a fresh taste of the seasons. The restaurant is in a sheltered spot tucked behind the shop and tasting room, with its own extensive terrace soundtracked by the gentle flow of a nearby stream. The daily, lunch-only menu makes the most of the local larder, from fish caught at Brixham to ceps picked on Dartmoor. There’s a wholesome element to the cooking, which ensures the true flavours of the ingredients shine through. Make sure you order a glass of their own wine.

You instantly feel at ease at this elegant bistro in a prime position overlooking the Dart Estuary. Food-themed art and framed former menus exude a sense of the passion poured into this long-standing, family-run spot, where the original owner's son is now cooking. The daily changing menu is a celebration of both local seafood and Italian cooking, with the day's catch used to power classic dishes like 'spaghetti alla vongole', plus whole fish cooked in the charcoal oven. Start with a cocktail in the lovely Joe’s Bar.
