Our Sidmouth sanctuary restaurant
Take sanctuary in our award-winning restaurant and enjoy fresh, local, seasonal produce while soaking in coast and country views.
The Kitchen is open seven days a week from 9am - 4pm, with last hot food orders at 3:00pm and last drinks, cakes and snacks orders at 3:45pm.
Our relaxed and cosy space in the restaurant offers space for 200 visitors inside and 40 outside on our veranda, or you can purchase food and drink to take-away and enjoy in our outdoor picnic areas in the heart of the sanctuary.
Good food goes down all the better knowing it’s doing good for donkeys too, with every penny of profit going towards our work worldwide. That’s an extra helping hand for the donkeys who are most in need in the UK and abroad.
