Our Story

Andrew and Sue took over the First and Last Bistro back in August 2017. 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. Andrew was keen to source local seasonal produce to minimise the carbon footprint and help support the local economy.

The philosophy is a straightforward one… Simple, Rustic and Seasonal traditional British food with a “twist”.

The couple have also had an impact on the local economy by refurbishing the Bistro to create a warm cosy ambience of understated elegance. They support the local economy by employing kitchen and front of house staff, who always give a warm welcome ensuring a relaxed special night whatever the occasion. To make sure your evening is complete The Bistro offers a selection of good quality, value for money wines as well as a comprehensive range of local rums and gins with regional mixers.

Since establishing the Bistro they have become an integral part of the local community. They have hosted New Year’s Eve celebrations, Beer and music festivals, fund raising Quiz Nights, Live entertainment evenings and a variety of special events.

Ultimately, the team at the First and Last look forward to welcoming you!
