Loluli’s Fire & Fish – Award‑Winning Charcoal‑Fired Seafood in the Heart of Exmouth

Loluli’s Fire & Fish is a modern, creative, charcoal‑fired seafood kitchen based in Exmouth, known for its bold flavours, innovative menus, and a unique approach that blends ancient fire‑cooking with contemporary street‑food artistry. Founded as a roaming pop‑up and events caterer, Loluli’s has since opened a permanent charcoal fish shop on St Andrews Road, bringing its award‑winning dishes to the local community.

With a focus on fresh, seasonal, locally sourced fish cooked over fire, Loluli’s has become one of the South West’s most talked‑about fish kitchens.

Cooking Over Fire – Reimagined for Today

The team specialises in coal‑fired fish and seafood, celebrating the oldest form of cooking with creativity, passion and theatre. Their ethos centres on: Passion, Creativity, Vision and Fire.

They bring “the ocean within a theatre of fire,” preparing every dish to order with big flavour and a fun dining vibe.

Ultra-Fresh, Sustainable Seafood

Loluli’s uses only the freshest fish, never frozen. Daily menus feature what’s in season and locally sourced, with dishes often selling out — when it’s gone, it’s gone.

Recent menus have included: Monkfish, Seabass, Mackerel, Gurnard, Black bream.

Award‑Winning Street Food

At the 2024 British Street Food Awards, Loluli’s won the Extra Mile Award, wowing judges with dishes like:

Thai monkfish with spiced cucumber and papad. Fire‑grilled sardines at the finals.

Customers consistently praise the food as exceptional — with some even calling it “the best fish takeaway ever”.
