If you want to know what and who is making news in and around Ilfracombe's picturesque harbour, you need go no further than the bright blue of Adele's cafe in Broad Street.

Cafe Life

This is where new arrivals and familiar faces, be they human or canine, always receive a warm welcome.

Whether blown in from the tempestuous seas or down the hill from the bustling High Street, a reviving cup of tea and all the local news awaits.

Ruddy faced fishermen sit side by side with Dads flushed with sandcastle building on the nearby beach, united in their love of simple, yet delicious food.

The All Day breakfast comes out hand in hand with a cream tea, a jacket potato, a salad or a home made bread pudding, satisfaction for those with a hearty appetite and the calorie conscious alike.

And always on the menu are large helpings of chatter and gossip and extra portions of laughter and banter.

This is where harbour society and visitors alike meet and celebrate the simple joy of a cuppa and a chat.
