River Exe Cafe

River Exe Cafe Award-winning floating restaurant
on the River Exe, Devon

Dog friendly 🌟 Weddings & Private Events Seasonal Opening April 1st - September 30th.
(3022)

Opening times: 12 Midday - late
Please call ahead as opening times vary depending on weather and reservations. The River Exe Cafe is Devon's only floating cafe. We are right in the middle of the Exe Estuary and can only be accessed by boat from Exmouth. The views from the Cafe are stunning and the sunsets spectacular. We serve delicious, locally sourced food, specialising in seafood. You can catch

the Water Taxi (@ÂŁ5 return) from the Pontoon in Exmouth Marina which we can organise for you at the time of booking. The journey takes approx 20mins with beautiful scenery all the way. We welcome all age groups aboard and are dog friendly. Table Booking is essential. Wrap up warm for the journey across especially in April. Please call us for any other information. See you on the river.

If you're with us often you've probably noticed this but the light on board is never quite the same twice.

We see this daily. It shifts with the tide, catches the clouds as they drift overhead, and dances across the water before finding its way through our windows. Some mornings it's soft and silvery, wrapped in estuary mist.

Other days it's golden, warm and bright, spilling across tables and coffee cups alike.

Our quiet reminder that every day on the Exe brings something different, and somehow, that's where the magic lives. And a reason to visit more we'd say!

Well, this doesn't happen very often...

A handful of tables (3+ people...) have become available this Thursday, 11th June, due to last-minute cancellations.

So if you've been trying to find a spot on board, now might be your chance.
Good food, great views, and hopefully looking at the forecast, a little sunshine too.

Summer, boat out, morning coffee on the pontoon, bliss! ❤️

When the weather is on your side, own boat pontoon open from when the big flags are up (usually about 11 a.m...ish!).

Once the big flags are flying, the hatch -and own boat pontoon - is open!

Coffee, cold drinks, Willow & Finch cookies, people perched on the pontoon in the sunshine, boats coming and going, the estuary doing its thing in the background.

Then from midday, food starts leaving the kitchen and the whole place slowly slips into that laid-back River Exe CafĂŠ feeling we all know and love.

No booking needed for the hatch or own-boat pontoon! Just rock up and settle in for a while.

* we can't guarantee space on the own boat pontoon, so it's very much pot luck, and might mean sharing one of the benches but that's part of the fun!

Before the first guests arrive, there’s just time for the boss’s coffee and a moment to soak up this view. ❤️
