About

A Hidden Retreat for Great Food and Good Company

The Smugglers Restaurant & Bar is a place where hearty, flavourful dining meets warm, welcoming hospitality. Set within a characterful historic building, this cosy spot offers seasonal, locally inspired dishes crafted with care, making it a favourite for those seeking comfort, quality and a touch of Devonian charm.

At the Smugglers, the menu is all about celebrating local produce and classic flavours with a modern twist. Expect succulent meats, fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients, brought together in beautifully crafted dishes. Whether it’s a richly spiced seafood pie, a perfectly cooked steak or a comforting homemade dessert, each plate is designed to bring people together over great food and conversation.

With exposed beams, soft lighting and a welcoming feel, Smugglers is a hidden gem that feels like home. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed dinner, a drink at the bar or a special meal with loved ones, the warm and intimate setting makes every visit feel special. The cosy interiors, rich with history, create the perfect backdrop for enjoying delicious, freshly prepared dishes made from locally sourced ingredients. As you settle in, the gentle hum of conversation, the flicker of candlelight and the inviting aroma of home-cooked food make it easy to unwind. Whether it’s a quiet evening for two, a family gathering or a celebration with friends, Smugglers offers a truly memorable experience in the heart of Brixham.

Step into the Smugglers Restaurant and experience the magic of our open-fire cooking. Our custom grill is the soul of the kitchen, where locally sourced ingredients are prepared with care and cooked over glowing coals. From expertly seared steaks and just-landed Brixham fish to smoky, flame-charred vegetables, every dish is infused with bold, rustic flavour. The gentle crackle of the fire and the scent of the grill promise not just a meal, but a memorable, sensory experience.
