Whether it be a "quality" Bar Lunch or superb Evening Meal, our cooking has gained a high reputation amongst all our visitors for providing "traditional home-cooked fayre".We have different menu's for both the Lunchtime and evening.

Prime Devon steak, fresh local fish "catches of the day" and home-made specials are all featured on our menu along with tastes of the Mediterranean.

 
 

Our fish is bought from local markets and delivered to us straight from the boats. All our meats are locally reared within South Devon, are fully traceable and prepared in our butcher's own facilities.

We have received recognition for Outstanding Inn Food and Service which proves our dedication to cooking and chef David Singline's consistent food quality David has been our chef since 1997.Unlike other eating venues where the Chef does appear to change every year, at Port Light David assures you of a consistently high standard of cuisine whenever you visit.

Fololwing our recent re fit,our meals are served in either our bay window area or conservatory. Pets are very welcome in the bay window area but not the conservatory. Our hotel residents and Cottage guests do have priority over the pet friendly tables, but we always strive to look after all our guests.

We pride ourselves on our hearty Port Light full English breakfasts.

Due to our popularity, we recommend telephone reservations for evening meals during busy holiday periods.

Our bar is fully licensed and is a favourite meeting place for locals and visitors who enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. There is a log burner for cosy out-of-season evenings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A CELEBRATION OF DEVON CRAB

Here in Devon we have the best crab to be sampled in the world. It is unique in its sweet flavour and can be created into many wonderful dishes. Having spent many hours as a boy catching crabs in Bigbury Bay and picking them out for the many restaurants and inns, I have a pasion for this unique local product from the sea and encourage young and old customers to join in sampling world class crab with us.

Our Famous crab Bolberry Busters Sandwiches have been enjoyed by customers from all over the globe. This unique "meal in its self" is made with lightly buttered brown bread with a top layer of crisp local salad and the bottom layer a mix of sweet Devon white crab meat and the tasty rich brown meat. We do not add mayonnaise, vinegar or salt and pepper, which we think spoils a beautiful product, but offer it as an accompaniment so that guests can decide on their own personal preference.

There is no "correct" method of preparing a crab sandwich which makes every sandwich unique.

 
   

 

At Port Light we serve Devon crab in many forms.

Our rich crab bisque is made from a closely guarded recipe which was gained from one of the fishermans wives in Hope Cove when I was a boy. I was taught to make it using spider crab which has a stronger flavour than brown crab, but now we always use Devon brown crab.

Our crab salads are made using the best local crab with nothing added !

Crab cakes are widely available in many local restaurants and inns but sadly, many are "bought in" for convenience. We are proud that ours are homemade every day using our quality crab with a few secret ingredients added to give the unique flavour.
