"It's February half term and we had two kids and the dog in tow, everyone was hungry and it started to rain... but disaster was averted thanks to the Venus cafe! We were SO happy (and relieved) to come across this place! The food was delicious they have a really wide range of options from cheesy chips and decent chicken burgers to tacos and even crab bisque. The coffee was excellent, there were thick wedges of cake available, and a huge range of ice cream. Plus a really lovely seating area overlooking the surf, and water and biscuits for the dog. And smily helpful staff (thanks to Rachel, who was so lovely to our dog). There's not much better than when the whole family are happy and you're sitting in the warm with good food on a cold day, watching surfers and windsurfers and a few brave souls trying out the fliteboard (hydrofoil surf board). The surf rental place is next door if you're feeling brave. We enjoyed watching the sea tractor too it goes back and forth from Burgh Island (costs £2 a ride). Definitely a recommend the kids are still comparing other holiday food options to THOSE Venus cheesy chips. Next time we're in the area, we'll definitely be back."

Food was ok but the chips were not warm. Long queue. Seating outside but with no view of the beach. Filled a hole but don’t make a special trip.

£7.99 for a sausage bap, at most places you would get a full breakfast for that price and more. Never again, it's not sustainable at that price.

Ate here several times and all the food was lovely hence why we went back for more. The ice cream in a tub is delicious. Bacon bap was really tasty, I would recommend going to eat here and I will be going back View menu

Staff were great but.... Breakfast wrap was 7.99 and quite small. Worse thing was they were pre made and just heated in the microwave, can't say it's what I'd call freshly made but the views are fantastic so you pay the price

Location is beautiful and staff were kind, but I just couldn’t get over the prices. The chicken main I ordered was tasty but I had ordered a vanilla milkshake and they gave me what is more similar to ice cream in a coffee cup. I was disappointed because it was expensive and not worth the money.

We visited Bigbury-on-Sea whilst touring Devon (one of my childhood haunts). Sad to see The Pilchard Inn was closed but very glad to see The Venus busy and serving good coffee and hot food.Had a delicious pastie (what else while my wife had an excellent bacon cob. Warmed us up and fortified us for a stroll on the beautiful beach. View menu

Arrived in Devon on the first day of our holiday, and after our car broke down and we were stuck in the rain, this cafe was a real port in a storm! Service was friendly, with lovely, reasonably priced food, and the most stunning view (even in the pouring rain! We had cream teas, sausage rolls, and lots of tea and coffee while we waited for the AA to arrive, and got to enjoy the beautiful view in the process.

Limited options on a Tuesday meant that we had no option but to get lunch here. It's a hike up to the Venus from the beach, so we opted to take everything down to the beach for a picnic. There was a good selection of options from bacon butties to chicken Caesar wraps, hot drinks and cold, there were meal deals, and you didn't have to have chips with everything. Yes it's a little pricey but it's in a convenient place and I could not fault the speed and friendliness of the service nor the quality of the food and drinks we bought.

"The positive is that the food is good. But the negative is the service time and the attitude of the staff. We were seated and had our order taken after 20 minutes. A little slow but it was a busy Saturday evening so understandable. Starters came promptly and were eaten. We then got ignored by every passing member of staff for at least 50 minutes. Quite the skill! Once there was a break in our conversation and I realised how long it had been, I stood up to intercept a waitress and asked “are our mains on the way, please?” Our ticket was checked by her at the kitchen hatch and we were told “yes”. At this point our starter plates were cleared after they had sat on the table for at least 35 minutes. Our mains then took another 25 minutes to get to us, so I suspect that being told they were on their way was a lie. To be clear: we were given our mains 1hr 20 mins after placing our order. I complained to a waitress who sent over a manager. The manager asked if we’d had starters (yes, we had) and said that it was our fault our main was so late as we’d had a first course. How insulting!!! Blaming the customer for their bad service. Disgusting. When I said it was still far too long to wait between courses she then changed tack and said the kitchen was “really really busy” well, they weren’t busy cooking our food now were they?! And despite the place being full when we arrived, by this point of the night over half the tables were empty. There were 3 tickets on the pass along with ours and tables were 2 4 people (no large groups) so I feel that was also another lie to get out of it. What a shocking way to treat customers! My advice to you is: if you want your food served in a timely manner, either take the advice of the manager and don’t order a starter, or, be sure to communicate with waitstaff once your first course is finished and ask for your main to be cooked and served promptly. (Note: food also sat under the heat lamps for long lengths of time as staff stood socialising with one another behind the bar rather than serve customers) I hope this advice is of use as I would have appreciated it ahead of my visit! Good luck. [Reading other reviews, ours is not the only experience of slow service and seeing staff chat to one another rather than deal with the customers paying their wages.
