Welcome to the award-winning Guardhouse Cafe.
We offer superb, locally-sourced food and drink in one of the South Coast’s most stunning locations, Berry Head Nature Reserve, with panoramic views over the South Devon Coastline.
Only a short walk from the car park, our cafe is normally open daily from 9am to 4pm for coffee, tea, drinks, breakfast, snacks and lunch and is fully licensed.
FOOD AND DRINK
We combine traditional cafe favourites for adults and kids with seasonal, local and adventurous specials.
We are used to dealing with all kinds of dietary needs. From coeliac to vegan diets please just ask us when we are taking your order – options should be available for everyone
SUSTAINABILITY
Here at the Guardhouse we are aware of the challenges that our environment faces, and we are optimistic about human ability to overcome these.
Our small cafe sits in a national nature reserve, surrounded by the sea, with rare wildlife on view every single day. We want to play our part, and ask you to help us, to protect these beautiful surroundings.
EVENTS
We love to host evening events at the Guardhouse – from quiz nights to themed restaurant evenings, to live music.
The cafe is also available for private hire.

🎉🎉🎉🎉 What an amazing thing to do as an employer, taking on staff to allow your youngsters to concentrate on exams but with the knowledge they will still have a job after. Shame all companies aren’t as considerate!! 😍😍😍
I'm biased but this Brixham Hake special is one of the best meals I've ever eaten here! ... See MoreSee Less
