South Sands Restaurant

Dine with us

Start your day with a beachfront breakfast. For lunch, meander from the sand to the terrace and enjoy Fowey mussels. Or in the Summer, arrive via the ferry and relax in our welcoming restaurant while cracking into the local fish bouillabaisse. Let our menu carry you through your stay, fully indulged and utterly content.

We welcome well-lived days and unplanned evenings. Residents and non-residents, come as you are, flip flops and all, beach shorts, and even soggy doggies can dry off to come and join the rest of the family in the restaurant.

Seafood in Salcombe

Taste the difference with our quality sourced ingredients. Where possible, we use West Country products to craft our delicious dishes. Our location in the famous crab harbour of Salcombe means we know seafood at its best and offer a tantalising selection on our lunch and dinner menu.

To keep with the seasons, our fish of the day frequently changes, so no matter when you visit, you know there’ll be something delicious to try.
