VENUS BROADSANDS AS GOOD AS EVER.

From: Ben on 19-07-2025

Hi guys, another great week's holiday at Goodrington and Venus was as good as ever. Great food awesome staff. Just one area for improvement, the beer glasses seemed alittle greasy and had bubbles all the way up the side when poured. Could do with a splash of renovate in the glass washer maybe? Already booked for.next year. Can't wait. Hope Venus has a great year

Had an amazing meal at your Teignmouth restaurant . Service was brilliant from the staff too. Thankyou.

COFFEE WAS DELICIOUS AND THEIR HOUSE MADE TREATS WERE THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

From: Jacqueline on 16-10-2024

I was introduced to Venus by a friend yesterday. It was a rainy day and the beach front cafe was warm and so wonderfully friendly. The staff are outstanding and so proud of this company. The coffee was delicious and their house made treats were the absolute best!! I highly recommend this cafe. I came back the next day and just loved it.

BEST VEGAN TOFU BEETROOT BURGER EVER

From: Fiona on 16-10-2024

Wow best vegan tofu beetroot burger I have ever tasted. My partner had prawn tacos and his was amazing too. Friendly service and you can tell the food is made really well.

A FRIENDLY RELAXED PLACE

From: Simon on 09-10-2024

This is a really special little place .. we visited four times, over a three day period, because:
* It's in a perfect location for the beach at Bigbury-on-Sea and has outdoor seating that overlooks the beach/ sea (it has indoor seating too for when the weather is bad)
* It has a wide range of things on the menu to choose from
* It has a strong focus on sustainability and minimising its environmental impact
* It has very friendly and efficient staff! Jack served us during most of our visits and took the time to chat with us and generally make us feel welcome. In addition to lunch there on one of the days, we also had coffees, milkshakes and ice creams - the vibe is so relaxed that it is a hard place to tear yourself away from. We live by the sea (in a different area) and visit a lot of beach cafes .. all of them have really nice aspects, but Venus is something else!
We have also been to Venus at Broadsands which is also brilliant.

FOOD REALLY DELICIOUS

From: Helen on 08-10-2024

Beautiful location, friendly staff, great atmosphere and the food was really delicious. You can tell it's made from really high quality ingredients and it's fantastic there's such a commitment to sustainability. Teignmouth's all the better for having this cafe. We had a great time with our family and will definitely be back.

From: Jo on 04-10-2024

This little cafe is "Brilliant", the staff are great, friendly couldn't do more for you. The food especially the breakfast the best I've ever had and believe me I have had hundreds.

FOOD WAS 10 OUT OF 10.

From: Kayleigh on 20-08-2024

Just came back from my family's holiday to Bigbury and I just wanted to say how delicious the food was when we decided to visit, was sooo good, we actually visited twice during the week stay! Food was 10 out of 10! Good choice of options for food, really well priced too! Staff were by far the most polite and helpful staff, always happy to help and always had a smile on their cafes! The most beautiful backdrop as while whilst munching our yummy food!
Please pass on my praise to the staff at Bigbury on Sea! Hope to see you guys again!

BROADSANDS - DON'T TELL EVERYONE.

From: Ben on 19-07-2024

Family of three eaten here 4 times and been for a drink at the end of the day three times this year and as many last year. It isn't the cheapest place but when you factor in the location, the company ethos, the ingredients and the food. Bargain. Broadsands. Don't tell everyone.

WOW!

From: Brenda on 21-02-2024

This was an unexpected find on Broadsands beach . We needed a breakfast and oh my did the chefs deliver! The veggie breakfast was the best ever with a bubble and squeak that was Superb( a few secret ingredients made all the difference)and such generous portions that it made a wonderful sharing plate with perfectly brewed coffee. Thanks so much!

BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CAFE

From: Nishant on 28-12-2023

Beautiful little cafe with very inclusive options, catering for gluten free and vegans at high standards.

LOVELY PLANT BASED OPTIONS

From: Michelle on 22-12-2023

Lovely plant based options which we greatly appreciated and were surprised to find. Beautiful position, friendly chap serving us and dog friendly. Highly recommended!

GREAT LITTLE SPOT

From: Caroline on 21-11-2023

Great little spot, super friendly staff, great view. Enjoyed a lovely mince pie and Christmas cake with coffee. Stopped her as very disappointed with service at the Pilchard Inn on the Island. Also noted a couple of other customers that had previously been in Pilchard. Would recommend this place over the Inn. The food looked great and there were plenty of happy customers, making it an enjoyable hour.

A WELCOME HOT BREAKFAST & COFFEE

From: Ron on 21-11-2023

We were so pleased to find this place open this morning during off season. After a long dog walk we found them very friendly and served a welcome hot breakfast and coffee. Dog friendly too!

YOU'RE A GREAT TEAM

From: Alison on 04-11-2023

We were there today and I want to thank you so much for your friendly service. A young man apparently got our order a bit mixed up, but all was well and sorted very quickly. We loved the banter behind the counter and with us - you're a great team.

LOVING VEGAN OPTIONS

From: Dee on 22-09-2023

Just some feedback to say I'm loving the vegan options you have

GREAT SERVICE THANK YOU

From: Sam on 18-09-2023

REASONABLY PRICED

From: Evan on 18-09-2023

We stopped here for lunch and it was very pleasant, reasonably priced and the food was tasty.

GOOD FOOD

From: Simon on 18-09-2023

Good food in a good location

AMAZING FOOD

From: Emma on 18-09-2023

Great food - I wasn't expecting it to be honest, thought it'd be a greasy spoon type deal but they had a great range of fresh handmade food and plenty of vegan options. Lush ice cream too! Would 100% recommend to a friend.

MY NEW FAVOURITE

From: Jack on 15-08-2023

The bang bang chicken wrap was delicious!! My new favourite.

BEST PASTY

From: Ian on 15-08-2023

Literally the best pasty I have ever tasted - great quality steak, and the many other ingredients (especially the ale & rosemary) make it quite the gourmet dish.
