This was so welcoming into what felt like the Chef’s home. It was cosy, the ambience was superb. The food was truly delicious and what was real, we felt we were part of the family. The tastes of the various dishes was just amazing and every dish was so different. The Chef was accompanied by his lovely wife and son who were amazing and helped make the family atmosphere with such a famous chef at the helm.

Quite simply our favorite restaurant! Cooking by Noel, a great chef, right in front of you with detailed explanation of the menu (Taster only) and front of House by wife Nora makes for a brilliant culinary experience. Suggest you book soon as spaces are limited!

Having tried to book a table for 3yrs , whilst staying in Woolacombe, we finally succeeded An amazing intimate venue that sits 4 couples on individual tables in front of the maestro that is Noel Corston His wife Nora, had at least three roles throughout the night, great front of house and very engaging The food is thoughtfully , planned, prepared and presented from local suppliers by Noel The standout dish for us were the scollops in frozen buttermilk, although the crediton duck was just perfect If you like fine dining, great ambience and a chef who doesn’t take himself too serious, then this place is a must visit Thanks again Noel Nora Not forgetting your son (kp) who makes up the winning formula

We’ve been before. They’ve changed the setup but it’s still just a brilliant vibe. Wonderful service, homely feelings and beautiful food showcasing local produce. What more could you want for a wonderful summer’s evening.

A fantastic experience. An intimate affair, three tables of two around an open kitchen, just what we were looking for. The tasting menu is seasonal, creative, full of flavour. There is a reason and a purpose behind every ingredient; complexity and depth of flavour. And yet it’s an easy to understand series of dishes with a huge amount of thought behind the shape of the menu which keeps you guessing and excited for the next course. Conversation with Noel and partner Laura is interesting, enlightening and engaging. Biodynamic wines only and each wine is a talking point, the orange wine we enjoyed was particularly good. We also tried Laura’s traditional Mexican coffee to finish which was a revelation. An excellent evening if we’re back in woolacombe, we’ll be booking a table again. Thanks Laura and Noel, a brilliant way to enjoy an anniversary evening.
