A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Clay, coffee and a little coastal energy
A farm café, pottery studio and skate bowl just inland from Bantham, with plenty of reasons to linger.
Outside makes an appealing change of pace from a straightforward beach day. On a two-acre site near Bantham, the café shares its home with a pottery studio, a skate bowl and growing spaces that feed the kitchen. Start with something seasonal to eat, then give the afternoon a purpose: book a wheel-throwing taster, explore the shop’s ceramics and books, or watch the bowl from the sidelines. Hands in clay, colourful plates and people outside together give the site its sociable feel. It feels especially suited to friends who want an activity and a good lunch in the same place. Check the programme before building your day around a class or evening event.
The lovely little details
- Pottery tasters, a café and a skate bowl on one site.
