The Ancient Mariner

The Ancient Mariner Coastal freehouse & restaurant on Lynmouth’s harbourside beneath Exmoor's cliffs. Live music, warm atmosphere, and unexpected maritime touches. Breakfast?
(400)

Serving fresh, homemade food, local ales and winesβ€”with outdoor decking overlooking the bay. You got it. Would that be the vegan one? Gluten free? Carnivore? Omnivore? Nom-nom-nomnivore?! We cater for nearly every dietary requirement, but if there's something specific please do get in touch in advance. Lunches? Heck yes. Ploughman's full of local cheeses, sandwiches, or something more substantial,

we've got it covered. Check out our menu page on our delightful website by clicking on the link! Evening meals in a gorgeous, candlelit atmosphere? Oh yes please. We do recommend booking for evenings as we get very, very busy. Locally sourced produce, served by friendly staff with a drop of something local - what could be better?! Dog friendly, children friendly, free Wifi and charge points for all of your technological needs. Not that you'll need them, while you're here, of course. There's far too much to look at and talk about! From our giant octopus sculpture bursting out of the wall, to our ship's figurehead on the bar, to the Colombian printing press around the corner - there's plenty to spark your imagination and conversation while you're here. In light of the the current situation, our indoor seating is limited and socially distanced, so please please do book if you'd like to eat here. Tables outside are available on a first come, first serve basis and some of them are covered...but bring your waterproofs! Please adhere to our clear one way system, and our 'House Rules' (available to see on our page and on our website) while you're with us, for your safety, and the safety of others around you. If you have any questions just drop us a line! Thanks, from The Ancient Mariner Team x
