A PLACE WORTH KNOWING

A sea-view table at the edge of Westward Ho!

Coffee, a meal or sunset drinks above the shoreline, with terraces looking across Bideford Bay.

The Pier House is a place to sit and watch the coast change: bright water at lunchtime, rolling weather through the windows, or a sunset drink on the terrace. There is a full restaurant alongside a more casual bar, so it works for both a planned meal and a spontaneous coffee stop. The sea-facing deck is the draw when the weather allows.

The lovely little details

  • Opens daily from 10am.
  • Sea-facing terraces and restaurant.
  • Dogs in Sunset Bar and on Sun Terrace.

SOMETHING TO LOOK OUT FOR

A sunset drink

If the weather is kind, settle onto a terrace to watch the light over Bideford Bay.
