Surfing Waves

Hey,

What are your favorite restaurants, pubs, etc... to eat before, or after a good day's surfing.

My favorites are:

1) Ruby Tuesday's (If I surf in Daytona, there's one just down International Speedway)
2) Taco Bell
3) Hot Dog (Local place in Jacksonville on A1A)
4) Tropical Cafe

Nothing beats a good Fish and Chip Feast after being in the water all day or a massive Burger! Brings back Childhood memories!

St Vedas Hotel, Coldingham Bay.

100 yds from the sea. Walk up, get changed, good food, warm drinks, open fire and friendly atmosphere..... genius!

The timing of this topic is kind of interesting, on Saturday, Corky Caroll did a column in my local paper about his favorite post surf eateries.

I love Ruby Tuesdays, but for after surf drinking......and eating you cant beat South Beach Grill. Its on Cresent Beach, and the No Shoes, No Shirt rule desent apply till after 5:00PM. Nice break right out back of the place too.

Flapjacks in the van

WORD!

Big fat homemade chilli in the van with a can or two of fosters

in the car or on the beach - a giant sized sandwich (maybe french bread)with cheese, tomato, & ham, or anything I can find (depends on my mood!) with a bottle of water and a few apples. Something to really get my teeth into!

not to mention a cheeky burn to get the blood flowing!!!!

followed by peanut m&m's and a nice brew with caramel hobnobs

Anywhere that serves a hot steak (blue / rare) and a cold pint of stella.

The Steak for the protein I need to rebuild the muscle tissues stretched / torn in the exercise, and the pint to chill me out.

Frequently the Thatch in Croyde.

And for the really cold daysCan never say no to fish and chips

And for the really cold days Stovies are awesome.

ive got a lot of love for the good people that run the beach snack shack at Saunton .. they serve the greasiest pasty known to man which allows you to nearly drink it when in a hurry

there and the posh chip shop in Braunton

..oh , and of course at Kiteys for a good nepalm grill

the shuger shack of kfc's, mmmmmmm im hungry

that cafe at fistral is a rip off. me and phil went there for post-surf grub and it was all mega expensive. like £2.50 for a bowl of crap chips :strop:

Which cafe, North Fisty or the new one at south Fisty ???

oh man

a nice BIG burger, now i aint talking that Mcdonalds bull, oh no. Im talkin HALFPOUND 100 percent fresh groundbeef, covered in melted swiss chess, crispy wet lettuce, freshly diced tomato, grilled onions, and two spicy jalapenos all topped off with ketchup, a little bit of mustard, a little sweet relish, and all of it kept hot between two puffy warm sesame seed buns. On the side i would also like some fresh,thick cut, and lightly salted fries. Then to drink a nice TALL cold cold icy frosty pepsi, Dr. Pepper, or coke, and for desert a nice warm apple pie. oh my god! yessssssssss
give it to me!!!!!!!

or maybe thats just what i want to eat right now

whatever freeze dried camping food my backpacking stove feels like cooking

So cheap, and so easy. Grab a bottle of water, throw it on the stove, 2 minutes later, you're enjoying pretty much anything from mexican to beef stroagnoff, to mac and cheese, to chinese, the list goes on.

Although in the summer nothing tops a huge burger from Sam's. It's a short trip from my surf spot, and actually if it wasn't illegal I could paddle there.

I'd go with South-east sponger.... fish n chips...can't beat it.
