There's something rather lovely about a slow morning in Ashburton.
Nestled on the edge of Dartmoor, our little Devon town has a wonderful way of encouraging you to slow down. With its independent shops, winding streets and thriving food scene, it's somewhere worth taking your time to explore.
And what better way to begin than with a really good brunch?
A Different Approach to Brunch
At kore by Luna & Finch, we believe brunch should be more than simply a quick bite to eat.
It's an opportunity to pause, catch up with friends, enjoy something delicious and make a little more of your morning.
Our approach is simple: beautiful local ingredients, thoughtful cooking and familiar dishes with a little unexpected creativity.
Led by Chef Sam Billson, whose experience spans almost two decades in professional kitchens, our menus bring together the comfort of brunch favourites with the attention to detail you'd expect from a restaurant.
Nothing unnecessarily complicated. Just good food, prepared with care.
Seasonal Ingredients, Thoughtfully Prepared
Seasonality sits at the heart of everything we do at kore.
Our brunch menu evolves with the seasons, taking inspiration from the ingredients available to us and the wonderful produce Devon has to offer.
You might find familiar favourites reimagined with unexpected flavours, carefully considered accompaniments or something entirely new from Sam's kitchen.
Even our drinks receive the same attention.
Alongside freshly brewed coffee and speciality matcha, you'll find creations such as our iced matcha with chef-made fruit compotes, bringing a little something different to the everyday.
It's these small details that make the experience feel special.
More Than Somewhere to Eat
One of the things we love most about Ashburton is its sense of community.
Independent businesses, familiar faces and a genuine appreciation for good food make it a wonderful place to call home.
We wanted kore to feel part of that.
Somewhere you can pop in for a coffee, settle in for a leisurely brunch or discover something new.
A space that feels relaxed and welcoming, where the food is thoughtfully prepared but the atmosphere never feels formal.
Whether you're local to Ashburton, exploring Dartmoor for the weekend or simply passing through, there's always a place for you at our table.
