The Kitchen
Our Sidmouth sanctuary restaurant
Take sanctuary in our award-winning restaurant and enjoy fresh, local, seasonal produce while soaking in coast and country views.
The Kitchen is open seven days a week from 9am - 4pm, with last orders at 3:45pm.
Christmas Day: Our visitor centre, restaurant and gift shop will be closed but our car park and walkways will be open from 9am to 4pm.
We offer the option of dining in the restaurant or you can purchase food and drink to takeaway and enjoy in our outdoor picnic areas.
Good food goes down all the better knowing it’s doing good for donkeys too, with every penny of profit going towards our work worldwide. That’s an extra helping hand for the donkeys who are most in need in the UK and abroad.
