Brundles Bar & Restaurant in Torridge

What an amazing place! The food was so tasty and fresh, the service was very attentive and welcoming. Waitress gave very detailed explainations on the food, spices and ingredients. Such a wonderful evening, thank you.

What a find in Woolacombe. From the point we stepped into the restaurant until the time we left, amazing. Attention to detail and customer service was second to non. Not only was the owner receptive to our dog who was served a doggy frappacino but fully attentive to our needs. The Thai food was some of the best I have tasted anywhere, even in Bali. The guidance and advice from staff about flavours and spices was so helpful. If you do not visit here, you will miss out. A little treasure that is focused on providing good food using the best and freshest ingredients.

We had a fabulous Sunday roast at Brundles today. We had clean plates all round! Everything was lovely, can highly recommend. Lovely cocktails too!

Received a warm welcome on a cold November evening. Friendly family ran restaurant and great food! We both enjoyed a Thai meal after the menu was enthusiastically explained to us. There is a good choice of beers and our dog Flinders enjoyed a complimentary pupachino 🤣🐶

Lovely Thai meal - great to have a different menu choice in the village and authentic Thai dishes. Certainly would recommend.

Authentic fresh Thai to try. Go enjoy yourselves! Friendly caring folk. Great selection of drinks. Clean with relaxed atmosphere.

Brundels always accommodates us as large or small parties. Nothing is too much trouble, the owners, management & staff are friendly & welcoming. We are always really looked after. The new menu including Thai dishes are delicious, and plentiful (you won’t be disappointed)! We frequent as a family with friends and young children, or as a couple for a night out. The bar/restaurant is extremely family friendly, which along with the great food & welcome is our main reason for visiting so often. A gem in Woolacombe!

We took a large party of 14, including kids, some who were really little ones. This can sometimes be tricky but the staff were incredibly accommodating towards us and the atmosphere was perfect. I’d recently been to Thailand and the Pad Thai was literally the same dish that I’d been eating in Asia. We went back without the kids and had the sweet and sour bass which was equally as amazing. Loved it so much we hung around to see the DJ and have a few drinks. Really great spot.

great spot for a few drinks, bartender and family where lovely and lifted the evening. Chilli loaded fried were also good!

Great food and great drinks. Amazing atmosphere, and great staff. A great evening for me and my friends, would highly recommend 😁

Great cocktails and super friendly staff!! We only ordered a couple of sides, but they were delicious too! Would definitely recommend :)

Really good spot and lovely staff, will definitely be coming back again! Very near the beach and super welcoming

Fantastic spot! Such friendly staff & a really good time. I came here with seven friends and we had such a laugh doing a crawl around Woolacombe. Would recommend.

Absolutely brilliant place. We went on recommendation of the Thai food and it didn’t disappoint. Pad Thai and beef panang were amazing. Mike and Jaz were lovely hosts and we will definitely be back!

We visited Brundles several times during our recent holiday. We were all very impressed with the food, which seemed largely Thai inspired, apparently cooked by a Thai lady. I had a lovely Veggie Thai Curry, and my husband had a Pad Thai, which he rated very highly. On another occasion we had the most amazingly huge, fresh, well cooked fish and chips! Cocktails were Buy 1 Get one Free so I indulged in a couple of Aperol Spritz while enjoying the stunning views. We will be back next year!

Very disappointed with the Beef curry not good value for the price the beef was tough and tasted cheap. The bass on the specials menu was really nice. When giving feedback to the staff when then accused of stealing a salt shaker! Having to empty out our bags to prove that we haven’t taken anything and received no apology. As regular visitors to woolacombe we will not eat here again.

Everything was great about our recent visit to Brundles. We had a table overlooking the sea which was fab to watch sunset. The food was excellent from the spot on Thai curries to my sons chicken burger all yummy. The service (despite it being very...

Absolutely fabulous food - Chicken Massaman Curries & Pad Thais went down a treat. Great drinks & games too to occupy teenagers - loved Tiki Toss! We have had a great evening here - highly recommend.

Just had an amazing last meal in Woolacombe, 9 of us eating, each of our meals were beautiful. Thai food was outstanding! Thank you so much 😊

This was our second visit within the same week - tempted back as the Thai food is excellent. Not only that but the restaurant and bar is very clean, tastefully decorated with a nice ambience. Furthermore, the staff are very friendly and attentive - many...

Really great food from pizza for a fussy teenager to amazing Thai food. Very relaxed atmosphere and music and lovely attentive service by Jaz, Alicia and Summer. Very dog friendly and even Lady the dog added to the welcome.

Very accommodating for a large family group with rowdy young children. Brilliant friendly service and lovely food. Would highly recommend.

A fantastic family meal, something for all ages. Some had the Pad Thai off the specials menu, it was delicious and was like being back in Thailand. As we are here for another week, we will definitely be returning.

Fantastic!! Amazing food, amazing cocktails and friendly service. Thai food there is a must! So authentic and tasty. We were there with 4 adults and 3 young children. Good menu options for adults and kids. Great outdoor seating too with views over the bay of...

Went for lunch and wow, what a fantastic lunch it was. The menu has quite a bit of Thai food, as the owners are Thai and English. The food was really fresh, incredibly tasty and the staff were really friendly and attentive. We had a...

Friendly staff, very attentive and welcoming. Great food! Best massaman curry I’ve had in a long time!

Fantastic food and really friendly service! Very dog friendly with lots of treats for our two dogs. Would definitely recommend.

We’re staying in one of the fabulous Byron apartments and took advantage of the proximity of Brundle’s Bar & Restaurant for a meal after a gruelling and tiring drive to Woolacombe earlier that day. Good choice as the atmosphere in Brundle’s was fun and we...

Had a very tasty midweek Thai meal with happy hour espresso martinis. Believe there is a new Thai chef and the new menu is great.

Absolutely beautiful food ,the sweet and sour sea bass with jasmine rice was amazing. It's a must for all Staff are top notch too.

Outside seating is lovely, enjoyed our meal and 241 cocktails well priced! New chef has greatly improved quality of menu. Constructive criticism - short staffed at busy times lead to longer waits. Inside decor could do with attention but this did not alter our experience....

We had a really delicious thi lunch ,all freshly prepared and cooked to a very high standard, met the owner Mike and his daughter ,lovley welcoming atmosphere, definitely be back

It has been a few years since we have eaten at Brundles and glad to say it was back to it's best. Tasty Thai food, delicious desserts and a great range of drinks

wow! What can I say…… honestly one of the nicest curry’s and Sunday roast I’ve ever had. Amazing service and good location. Highly recommend for anyone visiting north Devon to get to brundles asap. Complements to the staff, smiles all round!

Absolutely would recommend to anyone, friendly staff and 10/10 food, especially the Thai curries. Cannot wait until I’m able to come down next and visit.

We found Brundles by chance and what a lovely bar this is , staff and owner extremely pleasant and approachable - cocktails 241 also smashing establishment that appears to be under used . Highly recommend a visit.

Very tasty Thai food. We will be back.we loved the chicken and ginger stir fry, chicken skewers and beef Panang.

Amazing views and friendly staff. Very good Thai food and delicious cocktails. Lovely holiday treat.

This place has changed a lot so I'd ignore any reviews from 2022 or earlier. They now have two new chefs, one doing English style food e.g. burger and chips, and one doing Thai food. We had the Thai food. According to my wife and...

The good was so authentic. Fresh & lovely flavours. The restaurant has a great holiday atmosphere . I’ve eaten Thai before but never as good as this. The staff are friendly & welcoming.

Lovely meal, great service and happy staff. Nice drinks too and the cocktails are awesome. All round good place. Will return for sure!

We had a brilliant meal here. They’ve a Thai chef and a British chef so the kids had fish and chips while adults had amazing thai-style sea bass and duck. The waiting staff were also so friendly and helpful with recommendations and helping to carry...

The main selling point is the terrace outside. The view is stunning. Despite it being very cold for April we managed to find a window of 15C just before Easter and sat outside. Ordered a pizza and sides which was lovely. The only downside was...

Fantastic Sunday Lunch on a November Sunday ! We thought Woolacombe would be hard pushed to find a decent Roaston a November Sunday ! ...... BUT what a GEM ! it was delicious ! Try if you get the chance !

I had a pub in Haworth a long time ago and it was past the cobbled street.So many would reach the cobbles end and turn back.This is the same for this lovely bar.Although its across the road from bar electric which seem like the end...

For an upmarket restaurant wanting a sea view to eat they only have four seat tables available. But to hell with couples wanting a lovely view, we spend as much as anyone else. Restaurant is very clean, presentable. Staff are friendly but not altogether aware...

There were seven of us and this was recommended to us by our host. As such we were expecting a nice meal. Arrived and asked for a table of seven. We were told we have a table ready in doors or you can sit outside...

Really just very very poor food and hugely overpriced. Just go and get fish and chips round the corner from the takeaway.

Expensive menu, no light options, £21 for sea bass which was tiny and left me (a light eater) hungry. Kids meals are £11 for pasta, no drink or dessert. Table was dirty, had to order at a very busy bar. £125 for 6 people (3...

I booked for a large group because I’ve been before and it’s always been nice but was really disappointed with what we ended up getting. They had a new menu which was more expensive than before and the food quality didn’t justify the price tag....

We pre booked this restaurant mainly because of its location and website. No table service no starters available even though we asked if we could choose from the light bites menu. OK for fast food meal and a beer with a good view.

We were totally disappointed with our reservation on 28th July 2022 at Brundle's Restaurant. We were really looking forward to this meal and had chosen our food before we booked. We were the last booking for the evening at 19:45 and could not avoid noticing...

We have just been sat on the terrace enjoying excellent drinks watching the world go by. There's a good choice of drinks including Rattlers cider and two for one cocktails priced very competively for the area. The service was excellent and very friendly and they...

fish chips greasy Thai curry bland seemed like its been made for a while as all came out quick gone down hill from past visits. won't be rushing to go back iff at all

We are on a short break in Woolacombe end of June 2022 and booked in for evening meal. We got in early and were greeted by Amy J, who looked after us while we were there. She was great, being attentive, friendly but giving us...

The images on Tripadvisor are not accurate. After a bit of disorganised table shuffling we were seated. The food was really good. Massive tiger prawns, well cooked sea bass, good curry and burgers. Chips seemed better than the local chippy. Service was really quick and...

The prices are outrageous for the quality of the food served - ordered the " Moving Mountain Cheeseburger " for £ 15 not realising it was " plant based " as this was written in small print under the headline dish The burger was disgusting...

Brilliant location with great staff definitely recommend if you’re looking for a lovely venue in woolacombe for a quiet drink or food

A nice location with the views, but much more expensive than other places, and we honestly couldn't see why. Kids main meals were £11, as opposed to £6-7 everywhere else, and the prices really wasn't justified. We saw a couple of kids having pasta, and...

Great food and fabulous cocktails (especially during happy hour!) - only gripe was that the restaurant was very chilly as they keep the doors open even when it’s cold outside - such a shame.

Thank you for a fabulous lunch today. Our group were initially disappointed with the lunch menu....but that turned out to be z big mistake on our part. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and the portion sizes were larger than the menu suggested. Noone found...

My wife and I had a meal at Brundles this evening. What an absolute disappointment. I called to book the table during the week, no one mentioned there was a wedding there that night, they should have told us as it meant we had to...

What an amazing restaurant. Great good, great service and very friendly and courteous staff. Looking forward to our next visit.

What an amazing welcome we’ve had in Brundles this week. We’ve eaten in there before but as always the staff are so friendly and the food is first class; it’s well presented with fresh ingredients. Brundles, we will be back!

I've reviewed this place before and been amazed by the food but not so by the service. Things have changed and we now have very attentive waiting staff but new chefs and clearly a different approach. It's now a very poor show, for example we...

The burger was very very pink. I love a burger but that wasn’t edible. They never come over to ask how the food was. When collecting the plate, they never asked about the food. Very disappointed!!! I wouldn’t come back here again. Especially when charging...

What a disappointment this place was. It took 20 minutes to order our drinks and when they arrived they were incorrect. No time to change them as the food arrived - Luke warm! No one asked us how our meal was and then proceeded to...

We have eaten in this restaurant twice before and the food was great although lacking in atmosphere. This time we returned in October. We were ready to order and then noticed the fish tank. It had turned green and the fish were gulping oxygen from...

Visited a few times prior to covid won’t be returning soon. Emailed my complaint and not even a reply hence taking to trip advisor. Restaurant closed and had to eat in bar area. Staff more interested in playing with the dogs than with customers. Prices...

Great service. Friendly staff. Food was really good. Bear in mind we've visited out of season but sitting on the balcony in gorgeous sunshine is just bliss. Nice mojito too

Last night we enjoyed a family get together at Blundle's Bar and Restaurant, Woolacombe, North Devon. What a wonderful experience! We were most impressed with the welcoming venue, which I was visiting for the first time. The food quality and presentation was fabulous, and the...

We visited Brundels for an evening meal, very few people in the dining area and now we know why. The portions were very small and over priced, the wine that we had was far from pleasant and tasted cheap. We most definitely will not return,...

Loved the excellent food and the very friendly staff! Would highly recommend you try the really lovely food!

Fantastic location to sit outside in the sun and have a drink and a bite to eat for lunch. We ordered using the app, which was a bit long winded, but once ordered the drinks and food came super quick. And the staff were pleasant...

The short version - our entire group got norovirus. We were seated and waiting for a waiter to arrive to take a drinks order. When we called someone over, we were told that we needed to use the QR Code and App for ordering, which...

On a sunny September day I visited Woolacombe. The Gluten Free Fish and Chips was fantastic. The staff helpful and friendly. I sat outside and could look over the bay. On the table there was a request to scan the code and order but that...

The fish & chip takeaway had run out of fish ... the Captain's Table stopped serving food at 8pm .. was there nowhere to get a meal on Woolacombe? We had seen Brundles bit it looked rather large and utilitarian. But - we wanted fish...

We rang last minute for a table for 12 and they accommodated us brilliantly- even tweaking menu options due to some dietary requirements (vegetarian and gluten free). Fantastic, friendly service and excellent food- would highly recommend to everyone. The atmosphere, view and whole restaurant were...

Great time. Called up & fitted our party of 12 in on the terrace last minute. Fabulous setting, views over the beach. Staff couldn't have been more helpful, great service, great food. Will definitely be back

Excellent service, great food, stunning view. Really appreciated them fitting us in (12 people) at really short notice!

We have been regular users of this place over the last 2 or 3 dummers since it opened, but i have to say this last year standards have dropped way below par. Visited on 17/9 for alfresco drinks /meal. General air of the outside areas...

This was our first visit to Brundle’s and we were really impressed. The food was great (we had Thai Chicken Curry and Sea Bass which were both delicious) and the choice of drinks was excellent. I would say this was the best food we’ve had...

During our 3 weeks in Woolacombe we were frequent visitors to Brundles and couldn’t fault it. Every meal we had was great, service was brilliant and it is super dog friendly. All the staff worked their socks off during an exceptionally busy summer and still...

Amazing staff, brilliant value for money. Really really impressed. Worth a visit. The cocktails were awesome and the food was really well cooked and was served quickly. I cannot praise the staff high enough.

Just come home from a week in Woolacombe Bay. We came across Brundle's on our first night and ended up visiting there almost every evening of our week away. The location is fantastic overlooking the bay. There is plenty of outside seating on a verander...

My husband and I have just enjoyed a short break in Woolacombe and Brundles was our favourite place to eat. We sat outside and had drinks on our first day and then returned twice to eat. We were very impressed with the food and its...

After reading the website and reviews we had high hopes of Brundle's but this place is very disappointing. Not kept very clean. We sat amongst piles of old boxes and dog bowls. Tables were dirty and greasy from the last guests (during peak Covid in...

Just arrived after a long heavy traffic journey from Surrey to our friends apartment in Woolacombe and as all the restaurants close at 9pm we had to move and find an eatery which could cater for us .The first one was very busy and only...

Popped in for a drink and lucky to get a nice table with the amazing views. Just had a few drinks - pricey though!

Well what can I say…as both myself & husband work in the hospitality industry…all I can say is wow & thank you. The service was perfect and the food was absolutely amazing. We both will definitely be returning. Also a big thank you to the...

Having read a great deal about the restaurant and delighted and excited at the injection of new eating / drinking opportunities ( after 10 years + of only having The Red Barn to chose from) I took the family ( and dog) for a much...

Lovely, friendly staff, really good food, beautiful views over the sea & delicious cocktails. Dog friendly 🐾

This is a fairly new place, looks great inside, like other places they were suffering due to staff shortages re covid etc. The service was excellent, food was ok, cleanliness was good. Unfortunately they are having a tough time you have to order and pay...

We were down in Woolacombe for a few days with our teenage kids and enjoyed this place so much we had dinner here on 3 evenings. Everybody who visits Woolacombe or indeed anywhere in the South West at the moment will be aware that hospitality...

Had the best night- Amy was so so lovely, food was amazing, night was so fun, love Mike’s playlist ❤️

Probably the worst meal we have ever had chicken burger was not cooked and was told there chicken is confit for 8 hours and this type of chicken is pink lol ok I’ve been a chef in many high class establishments and never known 8...

Lovely food but too expensive for what it is. Lively atmosphere, which was fine but I was expecting something classier for the price and the location which is attached to some very posh apartments. Awkward app to order from. Menu needs to be clearer: chicken...

Went in here at 7.30pm on a Monday in August family of four. Shown to the table and told to order food and drink on QR app on the table, waiter then left. Tried for 10 mins, eventually managed to order drinks. Food menu wasn't...

So the place looks inviting and says all day dining with families welcome... they stop serving at 1500 apparently and it's actually before that... ie 1450, I'm not sure the definition of all day has filtered down to this place. You can't sit inside (although...

We were looking for a restaurant to celebrate my 40th birthday as a group of 18. We were told we could not book but assured we would be accommodated. We were seated as soon as we arrived and the service was fantastic. The atmosphere was...
