At Monkey Puzzle Restaurant we believe in fresh ingredients, local sourcing, and best-value family meals.
We buy local, including Devon-reared beef with a tiny carbon footprint, that ensures the freshest Ruby Red beef goes straight from the field to your plate – and you can really taste the difference! Our Devon beef is showcased at our Tuesday Steak Night and Sunday Carvery, as well as in our home made burgers and other dishes on our evening menu!
Our on-site shop also showcases the best local produce – from shortbread, to honey, to ice cream. You’ll find tasty artisan treats that are great to enjoy during your stay and also make thoughtful gifts to take back home. We’re proud to support local farmers and suppliers.
Our light airy restaurant has options for adults, kids, vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-friendly too. We’re dog friendly so no-one’s left behind! Younger kids can run wild in our 3-tier indoor playground and sensory play area, while older diners can level up at our gaming zone, with PS5s, Nintendo Switch and more. With the kids entertained, the adults can relax and unwind, enjoying best quality food and drink ensuring you get the rest and relaxation you need during your stay.
