Parracombe Pavilion Stores & Cafe

Nestled within the picturesque landscape of Exmoor in North Devon lies a gem that locals cherish and visitors fall in love with—the vibrant Parracombe Pavilion Stores and Cafe.
A cornerstone of the community, this charming establishment near to the Lynton & Lynmouth, seamlessly blends the conveniences of a modern general store with the warmth and allure of a traditional English cafe.
A One-Stop Shop with a Difference
Open weekdays from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm and extending its welcome until 6 pm during the balmy summer months, Parracombe Pavilion Stores caters to both the necessities and the indulgences of life. Sundays see the store open from 9 am to 1 pm, ensuring that even the weekend wanderer can find their comforts and joys.
Beyond the everyday essentials—groceries, bread, milk, frozen items, and local meats—shelves are adorned with an array of fine selections usually sought afar. The store prides itself on its local sourcing philosophy, with fresh vegetables, wine, beer, and spirits arrayed alongside an exquisite variety of local honey, jams, and chutneys, all sourced within a ten-mile radius.
Freshness is the pulse of the Pavilion: sourdough bread from Lucho Bakes on Thursdays, freshly cut meat available every Friday, and almost daily deliveries of fruits and vegetables ensure the highest quality and taste.
More Than Just a Cafe
The cafe is a bustling hub of flavour and community spirit. Serving freshly made coffees and a delightful selection of Miles teas, the Pavilion complements its beverages with an assortment of locally made sandwiches, cakes, pasties, and sausage rolls. For the connoisseurs of convenience, a pre-call to place your order guarantees your selection of hot pasty or sausage roll will be awaiting your arrival.
Culinary delights extend to fresh quiches, leek and cheese pasties each Wednesday, and a larger palette of homemade soups and cheese scones on Fridays and Saturdays.
Sweetness finds its form in freshly baked treats on Mondays and Wednesdays—where the Bakewell and Treacle tarts become coveted gems.
Craftsmanship and Convenience
Parracombe Pavilion isn’t just about sustenance; it’s a showcase for local craft, offering a rotating selection of locally made items perfect for gifting or personal treats. The craft section is regularly refreshed, ensuring there’s always something new and intriguing to catch the eye.
The Pavilion understands modern necessities as well, offering ample parking and even an EV charge point, easing the journey for every visitor.
