About
The Winking Prawn is an iconic Salcombe spot known for its beachside location and relaxed vibe. While many love the seafood and the atmosphere, there's a vocal group of customers who find it overpriced and the service inconsistent. It's a great place for a casual meal with a view, but don't expect a bargain or fine dining service.
