The Guillemot, a renowned culinary establishment located in the picturesque coastal town of Westward Ho!, Devon, has successfully completed a significant transformation, positioning itself as a premier year-round dining destination for both residents and visitors alike, solidifying its place among top Devon restaurants.
Under the proprietorship of Royston Dennis and the meticulous management of Dan Martin, the establishment dedicated several months during the off-season to comprehensive renovations, meticulously focusing on painting, structural enhancements, and interior decoration to elevate the overall ambiance and comfort for its patrons, aiming to enhance the culinary experience.
Perched upstairs, the restaurant boasts a spacious 78-seat dining area, exquisitely designed to accommodate private functions, celebratory weddings, and solemn wakes. Expansive windows frame breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and the charming expanse of Westward Ho!, offering a scenic backdrop that defines true seaview dining and appeals significantly to visiting tourists.
While the captivating vistas naturally draw in seasonal visitors, the dedicated team at The Guillemot has strategically intensified its efforts to cultivate a loyal local following, ensuring the venue remains a cherished community fixture throughout all seasons, becoming a true Westward Ho! dining gem.
A cornerstone of their local appeal is the dynamic selection of daily specials, thoughtfully curated to evolve with local preferences and seasonal availability. A standout offering that has garnered considerable acclaim is the succulent sirloin steak tortilla wrap, impeccably served with a crisp salad and creamy coleslaw, celebrated for its tender steak and exquisite flavor profile.
Complementing the diverse culinary offerings, the restaurant proudly features an impressive selection of local ales, inviting patrons to pair their exceptional meals with a refreshing beverage, enhancing the overall gastronomic journey and embodying the spirit of Devon’s local produce.
Beyond its culinary prowess, The Guillemot is a vibrant hub for entertainment, regularly hosting live music Devon events on weekends. These events feature an eclectic mix of talented DJs, captivating live performers, and engaging family-friendly entertainment, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere for all.
Looking ahead, the establishment is actively preparing for the highly anticipated Devon Sessions event, scheduled to transform its gardens on Saturday, August 2nd, where the iconic ‘Godfathers of Drum and Bass,’ Fabio and Grooverider, are slated to deliver a memorable performance, further enhancing the entertainment offerings in the region.
