Street Food and Take Away

Nik Nak Noodles Thai Cuisine

Lifeboat Lane, Teignmouth
07577 957356

Opening times vary but usually 12:30pm-7pm daily during the summer.

With a range of authentic Thai rice and noodle dishes freshly cooked to order while you wait, this is the perfect place to grab a delicious bite to eat while enjoying the sun on the back beach. And if you don't fancy waiting for your food to cook, you can even phone ahead.

LJ's Beach Shack

Lifeboat Lane, Teignmouth 

Famed for its dirty fries and delicious burgers and wraps and with the surf boards leaning up outside, LJs is the epitome of beach-side eating. These are definitely not greasy spoon burgers!

Teign Canteen / Blue Hut

With a small outdoor seating area, you don't even need to find a spot on the beach to enjoy the Blue Hut's coffee, and home-made cakes. The menu also includes Lobster rolls, venison burgers, halloumi fries and a pulled pork bao. This is street food at its finest.
