Friday & Saturday evenings
Friday & Saturday wine bar
When the sun goes down at the weekend, the café changes character — and becomes one of Shaldon’s loveliest little wine bars.
There’s a particular kind of magic to a summer evening in Shaldon — the tide turning, the light going gold over the estuary, and the day slowing right down. That’s the moment The Coffee Rush stops being a café and becomes a wine bar.
The coffee machine goes quiet, the lights come down, and out comes a short, well-chosen wine list alongside a menu of light bites and canapé plates. It’s informal and unhurried: a glass of something cold, a sharing board in the middle of the table, and good company.
Whether you’re rounding off a day at the beach, meeting friends, or just fancy a low-key night out without leaving the village, you’ll find a warm welcome. Pull up a chair, we’ll pour the wine.
