About Us Report

Andrew, an accomplished Chef and Sue with her finance background put their skills together to fulfil the dream of running a restaurant. The preferred area was the South West of England and after many trips they fell in love with the South Hams area of Devon and all it had to offer. The rich natural larder of locally produced, sustainable foods as well as the stunning views and the fresh Devon air made it the ideal location.

My partner and I recently moved to Ivybridge and we went here for his 30th birthday. Absolutely amazing food, presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. Fantastic staff, professional, rustic, homely feel. Lovely restaurant, will definitely be coming back.

Sunday roast sublime sandwiched between lovey starters and deserts. Service is excellent and also a lovely wine list. Vegetarian wife was delighted with the Stilton and broccoli tart. Absolutely recommend and will be definitely going back again and again. Top drawer 👍

We loved our evening. Tasty starters, my prawn salad was delicious, tasty and light which was perfect for me. Divine mains, highly recommend the rump of lamb. My partner devoured his Beef fillet. Also delicious desserts, with a Bailey's to accompany it. Service was perfect with friendly helpful members of the team. Reasonably priced too! can't wait to come back for the Christmas menu. 100% recommended.

Fantastic little bistro tucked away in a small village.
Very good menu with choices for everyone.
We had a selection of starters mains and desserts and all were presented very well and tasted amazing. Attentive service and a nice cosy feel to the bistro.
Highly recommend you pay a visit.

Very disappointed. Although we had pre-booked they were obviously too busy to take orders or serve us at any time near our arrival time. Orders were taken and food delivered after substantial delays. Front of house avoided eye contact at all time except when accepting payment when a weak apology for delays was given. Most food seemed OK but my duck breast was luke warm with no crispy skin and also rather tough. Will not be returning

Excellent food. English with a French twist and portion sizes. Friendly helpful service. Out in the sticks, so do book in advance before venturing there. Well worth the effort.

Delicious food with friendly service in a comfortable setting. Portions are a nice size so you can enjoy a starter and a desert without feeling like you're about to pop! A definite recommend.

Just eaten the best meal we've had so far on our short break to Devon. The First & Last Bistro is just excellent. From the understated decor, the friendly, attentive service to the superb food. Top class cooking, no ponce, just straightforward thoughtfully prepared produce. A real class act that doesn't break the bank. Thank you so much. Thoroughly recommended

Fabulous meal. 4 of us all had different starters and different mains and every one was outstanding. The range of gluten free options was excellent. Without a doubt the best meal we have had since we moved to Devon. Not cheap but very good value for money.
