This was a great find! We were visiting Ilfracombe and we had been body-boarding most of the day near Croyde . We just wanted somewhere to eat with a view. The sun seemed to have set on the rest of Ilfracombe and we walked back up the hill, and Larkstone was bathed in beautiful sunshine and had amazing views out... More

Visited with my family. After being given a menu at the door we were left just sitting in the garden. After 30 minutes went by and still no one came to take our order, we simply left unnoticed.

We are sincerely sorry for our lack of service, we like to think this was a genuine one off experience because all of our customers are important to us. We hope you will re-visit Larkstone to try our great food as we are confident you will not be disappointed again. More

This is a fabulous place; great views, great food and despite the café moniker it serves alcohol! There were also lots of activities and games to be played, but we didn’t do any of those. We went on a Sunday afternoon and sat in the garden, there was good and unobtrusive live music, service was very friendly, food (1 veggie... More

We decided to celebrate our son's birthday at this lovely Café, and we are glad we did! The food was excellent (lovely homemade fresh food, and nothing of that frozen stuff that you get in other places), and the entertainment for the children was very good. They all had a brilliant time. Thank you for a lovely day. If you... More

REally good for families, very much worth a visit. The owners are really friendly. They have a children's special day, I think it's a Friday when kids eat a meal for £2.50, excellent value. Also lots of toys for the kids to play with and there is a very large open space for kids to running around. Menu is good... More

We've visited Larkstone a couple of times but thought we were overdue to review it! Our most recent visit was on 31 October for a childrens Halloween party. Loads of thought and effort had been put into the event, great games for the youngsters, super friendly service (as ever) and absolutely outstanding food (probably a little too good for marauding...
