ABOUT

The Ember Dining Experience

The Ember Dining Experience offers a completely different way to experience the South West, combining luxury outdoor dining with the raw beauty of the Devon countryside. Set within a hidden woodland location on the edge of Dartmoor, guests enjoy multi-course fire-cooked dining experiences surrounded by candlelight, woodland ambience, and live acoustic music. Every evening has been designed to feel intimate, atmospheric, and memorable, blending premium food with storytelling, nature, and relaxed luxury. Seasonal menus focus on locally sourced produce and open-fire cooking techniques, creating an experience that feels both rustic and elevated at the same time.

What makes your business or experience unique within the South West?

We combine fine dining, open-fire cooking, and immersive woodland settings to create something far more memorable than a traditional restaurant experience.

What kind of experience do you hope visitors leave with after spending time with you?

We want guests to leave feeling like they’ve experienced something genuinely special, atmospheric, and completely different from everyday life.

Is there anything about your space, setting or approach that people particularly remember?

Guests often remember the candlelit woodland atmosphere, the smell of the fire cooking, and the relaxed pace of the evening.

If someone was visiting for the first time, what would you recommend they experience most?

Our signature woodland tasting evening with live acoustic music is the perfect introduction to the experience.
