The River Exe Cafe is an award winning floating restaurant just off the Ski area on the River Exe, situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, protected by Natural England.

The Cafe is infact a floating barge – created back in 2011 using two flat bed barges and a shed.

The base of the cafe is two mud hoppers from Stoke on Trent, which were transported by road down to Exmouth – sandblasted, painted and steel worked together to create a 1.7 km decking area on which to build the cafe.

With no mains water or electricity they use holding tanks and a generator – everything needed for the cafe has to be transported to and from the mainland by boat.

The ethos was to create a venue that maximises the incredible river views of The Exe Estuary has to offer – whilst you enjoy a modern British menu using some of Devon’s finest produce.

River Exe Cafe can only be accessed by boat, either a Puffin Water Taxi from Exmouth Marina, or on your own boat.
