Mothers day lunch
£25.00 per person
30 Mar 2025 only
Celebrate Mothers Day at ISCA Restaurant and Bar. Treat mum to special dining experience with our £25 for two courses, featuring the finest local and seasonal dishes, crafted with love. Book now to make this Mothers Day a special one.

Isca is a celebration of local farmers, producers, and seasonal ingredients. Our menu is a celebration of the incredible produce found right here in the South West. From the rolling hills of Dartmoor, where our beef is raised, to the award-winning Beech Ridge Farm, home to our free-range chicken, every ingredient tells a story. Our freshly baked bread comes from Vicky’s Bread in Helston, Cornwall, while the day boats in Brixham deliver the finest fish. The potatoes for our chips are grown in Cornwall and our fruit and vegetables come from trusted partners in Plymouth. Even our indulgent ice creams are crafted locally by Styles in Exmoor, ensuring every bite reflects the flavours of the region we call home.

We hadn't heard of Isca restaurant before and decided to pay them a visit as the description of the fresh, local produce menu sounded right up our street. We weren't disappointed. We had a lovely evening. The style of decor makes you feel like you are on holiday. It was a pleasant surprise as we weren't sure what to expect. They had only opened last Thursday. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The food menu was compact (a good sign) but had something for everyone and the food was to a high standard. Thank you for an enjoyable meal and evening.
