Venus Café, Bigbury-on-Sea

Family-friendly and environmentally driven, we offer both inside and outdoor seating. Eat and drink in, or ‘on the go’ whilst taking time to appreciate stunning views across to the iconic Burgh Island and Bantham. Relax and take a seat to enjoy our all-day scrumptious homemade dishes lovingly prepared in our own kitchens, wrapped in sustainable and home-compostable packaging, served with a warm welcome from our friendly staff, all dished up in an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'.

Our al-fresco award-winning environmentally friendly Bigbury-on-Sea beach café boasts the largest sandy beach in South Devon with views across the spectacular South Hams coastline, dramatic coastal walks and one of the best locations for water sports.

Kick-start your day with the Venus Breakfast Burrito all-day breakfast of egg, bacon, hash brown, and sriracha sauce, served in a hot wrap. Or a moreish bacon bap with a generous serving of three rashers of English dry-cured back-bacon. Making a welcome return is the Venus eggs Benedict and Vegedict - poached eggs on Venus thick sliced sourdough topped with Maille hollandaise sauce, with or without bacon.

For a meatier option, our famous Venus organic Devon beef burger made to our own secret recipe makes delicious Classic and Bacon Cheese beefburgers. Our delicious Venus-style ‘fish n chips’ washed down with a pint of local Bays Brewery beer makes it the perfect day out and we also offer a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options including our tasty vegan sausage and tomato bap.
