Taken over by Paul and Kate in 2005 Combe Cottage is one of the oldest, if not the oldest cafe in Ilfracombe serving the town for over 70 years! The original building probably dates from the mid to late 18th century and was previously two small cottages. Beams and other period features remain adding character to the restaurant area.

Combe Cottage serves quality Fairtrade tea and coffee, all day breakfasts, lunches and afternoon teas. We are also open for evening meals throughout the season (see opening times). We cater for private parties by request.

Acclaimed chef Kate qualified in Yorkshire and has cooked in Europe and beyond including cooking for royalty whilst chef at County Hall in Cardiff. Kate blends traditional and modern influences to produce high quality dishes at affordable prices. Self confessed foodies the owners strive to use local ingredients to deliver great food and a welcoming atmosphere. This has been recognised by excellent reviews in the local and national press.

At Combe Cottage Restaurant and Café the emphasis is on home cooked meals using fresh local ingredients. We are proud to support our local producers and suppliers.

Full of character and charm our restaurant is ideally situated on the bustling Ilfracombe High Street. We would like to extend a warm welcome to all.

There are no steps and all facilities are on the ground floor providing excellent access for wheelchair users.
