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.
Out and About

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.1 CommentComment on Facebook

September is a time of change for our team! Today we said farewell to lovely Katie who is heading off to Cambridge to train as a midwife. But we have welcomed our old friend Doug back to the team recently, filling a gap in our kitchen team!
Good luck to those staff leaving us for uni and back to school this week. ... See MoreSee Less
