Great lunch spot hidden away just off the coast path. More of a foodie cafe than a restaurant, but the food is super local, much of it grown on the farm itself. Only open in the summer (tables are outside or in a covered area) and only at lunch time but a lovely place if you are walking near West Bay or Eype.
