The Wighton Torquay

About Us

We’re looking forward to welcoming you at The Wighton in Torquay—a family-friendly pub restaurant serving an elegant menu of British pub classics alongside a main event of rotisserie chicken. All of our chicken is Red Tractor farm assured, and flame roasted to perfection in our rotisserie oven. We’re a real ale pub, and have a range of well-kept cask ales including plenty of guest choices. Dine alfresco or enjoy a relaxing drink in our beautiful beer garden, or take shelter from the weather in our spacious modern restaurant. We have games for the children, and a children’s menu packed with flavour and choice.

Situated on the outskirts of Torquay, The Wighton is a great place to eat out with family, friends, or business associates. Named for one of the last Watson-class sailing lifeboats to be stationed in the area, we’re a perfect destination for locals, holidaymakers, and families looking for restaurant-style pub food served in a casual atmosphere.

The main attraction is our rotisserie oven, which flame roasts tender birds until the skin is perfectly crisp and flavoursome and the flesh is beautifully moist. Not in the mood for chicken? Our menu of pub classics has been chosen for its authenticity and flavour, and our restaurant-style takes on fine pub dinners are comforting and satisfying. Our dessert menu features the same mixture of familiar classics and original ideas. 

ABOUT OUR FOOD

Dishes are always freshly prepared using quality ingredients; like our Red Tractor farm-assured chicken, our responsibly-fished cod and haddock and the langoustine tails in our golden Whitby scampi that are fished in UK waters.

Book a table for a special occasion, or call in for a week day treat. Our pub is suitable for every occasion when you can be sure you’ll have the best pies, burgers, steaks and curries as well as our signature rotisserie chicken on offer. You’ll also find exclusive dishes created by our chefs in our annual Chef of the Year competition.
