New on my blackboard! Chicken shawarma, with Greek lemon new potatoes, salad, red cabbage pickle, garlicky tahini and warm pitta.

This one is designed for two people to share — generous, colourful, and full of the flavours I love cooking with.

Perfect for the middle of the table, just add a glass of wine, take your time, and enjoy.

Available while stocks last at The Vanilla Pod.

A little something different on my blackboard today.

Grilled local wolffish with turmeric new potatoes, tomato and tamarind rasam, and chargrilled tenderstem broccoli.

Wolffish is not a fish you see everywhere. It lives in cold northern waters and has firm, clean white flesh, which I really like because it holds up beautifully with bolder flavours — spice, tamarind, tomato, charred greens.

This dish is lovely and warm, nice and bright, and very satisfying.

A few delicious things on Dasha’s blackboard today.

Devon crab salad, Bharat spiced kidneys, and local lamb rump — cooked in Dasha’s way, with plenty of flavour and a few little twists.

They change often, and they’re available while they last.

Cold milk, espresso, chocolate, ice, and a little Vanilla Pod calm in the middle of the day.

Good for sunny afternoons, muggy days, slow starts, cooling down after a walk, or simply because hot coffee suddenly feels like the wrong choice.

What a great Lyn Valley Classic day so far.

Lovely people, a proper buzz through Lynton, and plenty of good food and drink leaving the kitchen.

We’re open this afternoon for lunch, coffee, cakes and something cold, and we’ll be open again this evening for dinner.

If you’re in town for the Classic, do come and see us.

Full breakfasts, proper coffee, something warm before the cars, and a good place to settle in before the town gets busy.

Have a lovely day if you’re coming into Lynton for the Classic.

Falafels in the sun. Warm pitta, falafel, roasted peppers, salad, lemon and olives on the side — simple, colourful, and full of flavour.

Best eaten outside The Vanilla Pod, when Lynton gives us one of those lovely bright days.

Good coffee, a glass of wine, or just a quiet lunch in the sun.

Breakfast at The Vanilla Pod.

Start the day with a proper Full Devonshire Breakfast, something a little different from our Middle Eastern breakfast menu, or simply eggs ... cooked your way.

There’s plenty to choose from — from bacon, sausage, egg, beans, tomato, mushroom and potatoes, to shakshuka-style eggs, warm pitta, smoky aubergine, tahini, harissa, and generous plates full of colour and flavour.

Or keep it simple with poached, fried or scrambled eggs, good toast, and a delicious coffee.

Served by Dasha and the team in the heart of Lynton.

Breakfast served until 12.30pm.
Open Thursday to Tuesday, 9.00am–4.00pm.
Kitchen closes at 3.00pm.
Closed Wednesdays.
