About this menu
Sawmills Free House is a pub in Ilfracombe, out in Watermouth Valley, and the food runs from breakfast plates to burgers and curries. Smaller plates come under light bites, such as classic prawn cocktail and potted Devonshire crab, followed by burgers, nachos and sandwiches. House favourites hold the bigger plates, including Balinese fish curry and chicken parmigiana. Sides, a kids menu and a run of drinks sections covering draught, no/low alcohol and rum finish things off.
Early visitors can head for Sawmills Breakfast, where the full breakfast is listed with other morning plates. A smaller order could be a pick from the light bites or sandwiches, while the house favourites suit anyone wanting a full main course. Families are covered by the kids menu, which has a kids burger among its options. Anything extra sits in the sides, and anyone driving or avoiding alcohol can look through the no/low alcohol section next to the draught list.
