Eating and Drinking in Brixham, Devon*

Brixham, Devon Pubs, Cafes, Coffee Shops and Restaurants

Food

• The Garrett is good if you don't mind veggie, The Golden Fry by the harbour does nice "curry & chips" type food, The Balti House does good Indian grub and Wongs is great (but the home delivery service isn't the quickest.)
• I've tried the Kam Boat Restaurant, Brixham. There food is great!
• Wongs Chinese has been there since the dawn of time, on Fore Street. Still the best. Also Kam Boat up in St Mary's Square is good.
• The Kam Boat, in St. Marys square is probably the best Chinese restaurant in the town, and has an excellent take away. Bouns they also deliver.. Pilgrims is another good restaurant, bit expensive but worthwhile.
• The only chinese takeaway in the world you can spend £40 plus quid in and they don't give you any prawn crackers !! believe it.
• Brixham contains probably the best resrtaurant in Torbay. Pilgrims in Fore Street, I ate there twice on Easter weekend and although they were full up the service was excellent and the food was axceptionally good. This restaurantwith its former London chef who I think is the owner are well worth a visit.
• Churston Court, five minutes from town. 12th century with resident ghost. Super Carvery too.
• Best chippy is Davids on Bolton Street, or the Rio on Pump sT

Pubs

• Although not in Brixham exactly, but on the outskirts is a pub in the village of Galmpton. Good pub grub, plus a restaurant, excellent beers, and is frequented by mainly locals.
• Apparently the Bolton is much improved also a good music venue. Try the maritime inn for something different, a great old fashioned bar not to be missed.
• The Blue Anchor has live music every Saturday night with Southern Comfort, and every other Friday night with Howard Jones. Probably the Best Steak House in Brixham.
• Best Pub in Town - Blue Anchor - Harbourside (Over 21's and NO CHILDREN!)
• Quayside was good when I lived there in the 70s
• There are about 100 pubs in Brixham, cheapest is Wetherspoon 'The Vigilance', but everyone calls it 'Spoons. Loads of pubs around the harbour, best young pubs are The Bullers, The Sprat and Mackeral, THe Rising Sun, and The Burton. Nicest pub is the Berry Head hotel. Worth it for the views across the bay.

Cafes and Coffee Shops

• Good coffee in Beachcomber on Fore Street.
• the only decent cuppa is at the weatherspoons 55p for a cappuchino need i say more?
• Get a great breakfast at the cabin, on the harbourside. The Brixham big fry is the perfect antidote to a hang over toast, coffee or t, juice, preserves and of couse a fry up that would sink a battleship all for £4.50
• The Copper Kettle
• LOADS, but all with crap coffee

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide.
