If you visit Instow you MUST visit the Glorious Oyster, visited a few times now and loved it every time. Oysters are huge and fresh as can be. Crab sandwich is divine. Dog friendly and he even had a doggy ice-cream.

A very cute little cafe. Selling locally produced and perfectly cooked food, and with a very chilled vibe. Plenty of outdoor seating and a very respectable coffee made with locally roasted ethical Sabins beans.

Great place for a snack, it does get busy especially when it’s a nice day as it’s outside eating near the beach. The car park is free next to the cafe but there is only about 4 spaces. The public car park is a bit expensive and the pot holes are terrible (you need to be driving a tank to get through them!!!😡). You need to try this place if you are in the area but be prepared the cost of drinks and food it quite expensive for a beach shack cafe, but the food is good although I think the menu is a bit limited and some of the food severed is seasonal. They do source local and good quality produce especially when you see the chef coming out to cut herbs from the pots around the shack. Overall a nice place to eat and have a drink or even just an ice cream.

A fantastic place to eat. The food was delicious. We had oysters, mussels, the curry and a fish finger sandwich. The oysters and mussels were very fresh. The curry was superb and the fish finger sandwich was outstanding. The staff were very friendly and happy. They made me and my family feel very welcome. We will definitely return.

Absolutely delightful spot that we stopped off at after a long cycle ride. Terrific coffee and alcohol selection, but the star of the show was the food. My wife's houmous salad was great, coming with flatbread and pickled salad. I had an absolutely wonderful fresh oyster and a top Sri Lankans fish curry, which was deceptively filling and incredibly flavoursome. The best meal we've had this week in all of Devon, and a lovely atmosphere to the place too; you feel like you've discovered a local gem with the nicest staff around.

As it says in the name of the bar, Glorious! I ordered the dressed crab with salad, really fresh tasting crab and salad, highly recommended 👌

Had lunch here with the family, lovely Crab Sandwich (£12), relaxed and friendly vibe. The location is best on a sunny day when you can forget you are not basically sat next to a dirt track and car park. Don’t let that put you off though, worth a visit.

A small fish shack oasis tucked round the corner of Instow that honestly serves the best meals in the area. On top of that the service was extremely fast and they cater for gluten free. A must visit if you're near Instow.
