Meet Coryn Mundle and Louis Fahey. They’re the brother and sister duo who keep Simply Fish restaurant in Brixham shipshape. You’ll find Coryn front of house and Louis in the kitchen – except when you’ll find them here… BEST BREAKFAST?
ALFRESCO FEASTING?
Coryn: Port Espresso, Brixham. The atmosphere is so welcoming and chilled out, and the food is homemade and locally sourced, too – you can’t beat a bacon sandwich on doorstep bread to start your day.
Louis: The Prince William. On a hot summer’s day you can’t beat this location, right on the marina with a view of Brixham harbour. You can grab a bite to eat and a nice cold wine or beer. It’s the perfect place to go with friends.
BEST BREW?
HIDDEN GEM?
Louis: Bay Coffee Shop in Brixham. It’s run by a local man, John. You can’t beat a nice cup of coffee sitting there overlooking Brixham Harbour.
Coryn: The Manor Pub has been taken over and refurbished to an amazing standard by locals. This pub has a great selection of local ales and gin, and on a cold winter’s day the perfect thing to do is sit by the fire and just soak up the atmosphere.
SUNDAY LUNCH?
Coryn: The Coppa Dolla Inn, Broadhempston. The two-in-one pies are what dreams are made of! My in-laws live in Scotland, and whenever they visit this is our first stop.

QUICK PINT?
Louis: The Crown and Anchor Pub, Brixham. This is a local fisherman’s boozer that’s always busy with the hardworking men that make this town what it is. They offer a really good selection of local ales and ciders, and a very cosy atmosphere.
COMFORT FOOD?
Louis: Our mum’s homemade steak pie! It was a favourite in our household growing up, and nothing quite compares to it. BEST CURRY?
Coryn: We’re namedropping here, but YaYa, a chef at Simply Fish, makes the best monkfish and gurnard curry in the bay. You have to try it to believe it! It’s one of our best sellers for a reason.
CHEEKY COCKTAIL?
SOMETHING SWEET?
Coryn: Liberty’s in Brixham. This bar opened in the summer, and was just what Brixham needed. The Malibu Zombie and Alabama Slammer are our favourites!
Coryn: I have the ultimate sweet tooth! I always have something to tuck into, and my handbag has usually got a bag of goodies from Bon Bon in it. It’s run by a lovely local lady; if you are ever visiting Brixham, it’s a must.
POSH NOSH?
Coryn: Beamers, Brixham. This is me and my husband’s go-to restaurant in town for a nice meal out. It is run by a local family, and Simone buys her own fresh fish from the market daily. My husband is the skipper of a trawler so is fussy about where he eats fish, but this gets his seal of approval. The steak is amazing, too!
