The First and Last Bistro, nestled in the heart of Ermington near Ivybridge, boasts a delectable evening menu that changes seasonally to showcase the freshest local and sustainable ingredients. Our chef takes great pride in ensuring that much of the menu is naturally gluten-free, offering a dining experience that doesn’t compromise on flavour or quality.

For starters, tantalise your taste buds with a variety of options, from creamy blue cheese mushrooms to crispy king prawns with a touch of lime and ginger. For the main course, delve into Chef’s signature dishes – succulent chicken schnitzel with pancetta and summer vegetables, or market-fresh monkfish thermidor. Vegetarian and vegan options are also well-represented, with enticing selections like lightly spiced stuffed peppers or a nut and vegetable roast with creamy goat’s cheese.

The pièce de résistance? Don’t miss out on our delightful desserts. Indulge in a classic like the double caramel rum sticky toffee pudding or a refreshing Eton mess with seasonal berries – all crafted with gluten-free ingredients wherever possible. Top it all off with a 50ml glass of dessert wine or a selection of local cheeses for a truly decadent finale.
