Food, Drink, Shopping & Entertainment


Ilfracombe have progressed from the bygone days when the highlight of the holiday was eating fish & chips out of a packet! You can now expect to be tantalized by a wealth of local produce beautifully prepared and served. Dining has become an ambient experience, an important ingredient in the overall holiday package and you will not be disappointed in Ilfracombe. Tastes in abundance from local fare to the exotic, wonderful Devonshire clotted cream teas to award winning take-aways, full English breakfasts to leisurely astronomic dinners, farm fresh to fish straight off the boat - the choice is yours. Be assured you will not be disappointed with the vast and diverse array to be sampled at your leisure. Bon Appetit!

Shopping

If shopping is what you are after then taking a trip to the nearby town of Barnstaple is highly recommended, you will find a wide choice of shops including popular high street stores and family run businesses. For a unique shopping experience visit the historic pannier market where you can browse a range of stalls selling home grown produce and cakes to antiques and collectables, an experience not to be missed!


Entertainment

If it is entertainment you want, you will find events, festivals, theatre and cinema throughout the year in Ilfracombe, many based at the prestigious Landmark Theatre on the seafront Ilfracombe.
