Welcome to The Sawmills at Berrynarbor

Tucked into the wooded Watermouth Valley in Berrynarbor, The Sawmills sits on the edge of Exmoor, with the North Devon coast just moments away. It’s a brilliant base for exploring the moor, the coastline and everything in between — then ending the day by a cosy wood fire, enjoying a menu that celebrates local produce.

We love to work with amazing local suppliers across Exmoor and North Devon. Access to amazing seasonal produce lets us put the love into pub classics and modern dishes we know they deserve.

If you’re making a trip of Exmoor Food Fest, we also have B&B rooms available for an easy overnight stay. Settle in after dinner, enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep, and start the next day with breakfast before heading out to explore the local beaches and countryside walks.

ExFF Deal – A special Menu will run alongside our main menu on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in February.

La Petite Bouchée is joining ExFF26

5 FEBRUARY – 28 March 2026
Lunch: £28.00 for 2 courses and £32.50 for 3 courses (THURSDAY ONLY)
Dinner: £35 for 2 courses and £38 for 3 courses (FRIDAY & SATURDAY ONLY)

We’re absolutely delighted to once again be part of Exmoor Food Fest 2026 — a month-long celebration of the region’s most talented chefs, restaurants, and producers. The festival shines a well-deserved spotlight on Exmoor’s incredible culinary scene, offering guests the chance to enjoy exceptional dining experiences at special prices throughout February.

This year, things are a little different at La Petite Bouchée. Instead of one set menu for the whole month, we’ll be showcasing a different menu each week, each one highlighting some of our most popular dishes and reflecting the very essence of our brasserie-style cooking — refined, seasonal, and deeply rooted in the South West.

Week 1: Traditional French flavours take centre stage with timeless favourites such as Coq au Vin and Sole Meunière, balanced by elegant vegetarian dishes full of depth and comfort.

Week 2: Modern French elegance shines through with dishes like warm oysters with champagne sabayon and sea bass en croûte, blending contemporary flair with classical precision.

Week 3: A celebration of refined French classics, including Cassoulet Toulousain and Bouillabaisse Marseillaise, rich, soulful dishes that transport you straight to the heart of Southern France.

Week 4: A perfect harmony of innovation and tradition, featuring Gigot d’Agneau and sophisticated vegetarian confits, closing the month with comfort, style, and a touch of spring inspiration.

And that’s not all — this February, We’ll be opening for lunch service every Thursday,

We can’t wait to welcome you to our table for Exmoor Food Fest 2026 — a true celebration of French-inspired dining, local ingredients, and the joy of eating well in good company.

For the first time this year the menu will change every week. Bookings will be between 7pm and last bookings 7:45pm – the restaurant will close at its usual time of 10pm.

Dinner:
£35 for 2 courses
£38 for 3 courses ( normal menu prices £55.00 per head)

Luncheon: 5th 12th 19th 26th February

Lunch menu will be slightly different this year as we know many of you are put off by having a large meal at lunchtime. We’ve opted for a more Brasserie style vibe. This three-course brasserie menu features a curated selection of French-influenced dishes.

Starters include richly caramelised French Onion Soup, Chicken Liver Parfait with Calvados apple, and a light, twice-baked Cheese Soufflé.

Main courses offer a choice between classic Steak Frites, grilled Salmon with Béarnaise sauce or a Cauliflower Steak served au Poivre.

Desserts finish the menu in true brasserie style with Crème Brûlée, velvety Chocolate Mousse, a spiced Poached Pear and a West Country Cheese Board.

Lunch:
£28.00 for 2 courses and
£32.50 for 3 courses
