The Grand Ballroom truly transports you to the glamorous Art Deco era and invites you to dress up in your finest attire – black tie and evening dress are expected. The attentive staff, the live jazz or piano music, and the elegant décor all contribute to a truly sophisticated and immersive experience you will simply not find at any other fine dining restaurant.

 

Group Dining by the Sea

 

At Burgh Island, every meal is elevated by the dramatic coastal backdrop. It is here that you are invited to witness the rugged cliffs, golden sands, and ever-changing seascapes, which shift with the seasons and create a truly unforgettable atmosphere for dining in Devon.

 

Our restaurants celebrate the very best of Devon’s larder, sourcing ingredients locally from fishermen, foraging directly on the island, and using seasonal produce to craft menus that reflect the richness and freshness of the surrounding countryside. This commitment ensures that every dish is both authentic and deeply connected to the landscape.

Providing the perfect setting for both personal and corporate events, whether you choose to stay overnight in the hotel or visit solely for dining, Burgh Island accommodates all. 

 

For those seeking a complete island escape, group dining can be combined with overnight stays, allowing you and your guests to fully immerse yourselves in the beauty and tranquillity of Burgh Island for more than just a few courses.
