If you're not eating with us - then here are some suggestions locally:

Cadeleigh Arms, Cadeleigh (01883 855238/info@thecadeleigharms.co.uk) - Elspeth & Jane have brought real food to the neighbourhood, outshining the poor offerings in Bickleigh itself. Readers of Devon Life November 2007 will find out much more. Yearlstone wines are available, displayed prominently on the bar.

Culm Valley Inn, Culmstock - It would be easy to drive past this pub by the bridge in the village of Culmstock. But we went there on recommendation, and have never been disappointed. Fresh fish delivered daily, cooked beautifully and simply - occasional local beer - pity it isn't yet stocking Devon wine!

Jack in the Green, Rockbeare - very high reputation - consistently excellent.

Masons Arms, Knowstone - superb cooking in small pub. Special occasions.

No 15 Seafood Restaurant, Brixham - seafood and great wine (yes ours!)
Adrian Ford created No 15 Restaurant in May 2006 and has quickly gained a reputation for very good food. With over 20yrs world wide experience in the Kitchen, including a 3 year stint on the QE2, his menus are simple and full of flavour.
