We are chefs. We are hosts. We are seaside storytellers…

Since opening our doors, The Breakwater Bistro has been a place where food, drink, and the beauty of Brixham’s harbour come together. Under the guidance of husband-and-wife duo and owners Tom & Lucy Mayers, along with their incredible staff, we create dishes that celebrate the very best of Devon and the English coast..

 

From freshly landed seafood straight from the boats, to locally sourced meats and seasonal produce, we make as much as we can in-house, always with care and craft. Every plate tells the story of our community: the fishermen who head out before dawn, the growers who nurture the land, and the makers who pour their passion into every ingredient.

 

We are a team united by a love of food, hospitality, and the sea. Together, we’re committed to creating meals that are honest, memorable, and rooted in place—served with the warmth and generosity that make our bistro feel like home.

 

Let us take you back to the essence of coastal dining: fresh, vibrant ingredients, thoughtfully prepared, and shared in good company. We hope you enjoy all that is The Breakwater Bistro.

Amazing views across the water, food was great, as were the local drinks served, we even spotted a seal right alongside the beach. Parking was a slight challenge in a busy, tight and narrow car park!
