The story

The Seacliff Restaurant at Sandy Cove Hotel, Ilfracombe | Award-Winning Modern British Dining

Coastal Setting & Terrace

Perched above Combe Martin Bay, The Seacliff Restaurant at the Sandy Cove Hotel frames every meal with Atlantic horizons. Guests settle into terraced seating where the rugged Exmoor coastline meets refined dining. The kitchen draws its inspiration directly from these surroundings, preparing Modern British dishes that reflect the immediate landscape. Shifting light across the water provides a steady backdrop during long summer evenings.

The Kitchen & Local Produce

Chefs here prioritize regional suppliers to build menus around seasonal availability. Prawn cocktails and chicken terrine appear alongside hearty plant-based options when guests seek lighter plates. Wild mushrooms and goat’s cheese anchor vegetable-forward mains, while pan-fried salmon highlights the coast’s daily catch. Every plate of Modern British cooking reflects a commitment to sourcing ingredients within a short radius of Berrynarbor.

Recognition & Pastry

The venue carries a 3 AA Rosette award and holds a place in the Michelin Guide for its consistent standards. That recognition stems from careful plating techniques and an in-house pastry chef who crafts daily desserts. Caramelised pineapple and panna cotta arrive alongside local cheese selections to close meals. The kitchen maintains this balance between coastal simplicity and precise execution throughout every service.
