Spotlight on... North and West Devon THE PIER HOUSE SEAFRONT BAR, RESTAURANT AND WEDDING VENUE, BIDEFORD Sea views are unmissable at this coastal-themed venue. The terraces, flanked by glass balustrades, provide the perfect outside space for guests to enjoy views stretching across the entire bay.

Fusing chic, contemporary design with soft ocean hues, the venue provides a calming and stylish atmosphere. Ceremonies take place In the Bay Suite Ceremony and Function Room where stunning sea views can be enjoyed. A large multi-purpose room in which the wedding ceremony takes place is later transformed for the wedding breakfast and then again for the evening reception.
