Depot Eatery in North Devon

Loved the vibe in Depot. Great service, really tasty food. Dog friendly. Will be back

Rustic "industrial " look to the place inside comfortable enough for a short stay a little auster and lacking soft furnishings to be somewhere to spend a whole evening if it isn't very busy.

Good service and great food, nice atmosphere, will call again next time we are in the area.

First time visiting this fantastic pub and was very impressed. The staff are wonderful and the food is absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone who is in the area. The other bonus is most of the menu can be had as gluten free and the staff were very knowledgeable regarding the health implications around dietary intolerances which put my daughter really at ease as not many places seem to care so much. Thank you for making it a fantastic experience for us all

Excellent food and lovely atmosphere with friendly service. Pizzas were the best!

Amazing food friendly staff great service

Very nice but slightly overpriced

Very accommodating for us as a party of 8 adults and one child. Large menu choice of dishes but unfortunately for me most of the meals were hot and spicy! The pizza was enjoyed as were the loaded fries and burgers. I choose the gammon steak egg and chips as that had no chilli or jalapenos.

Welcoming, friendly, nothing too much trouble

Great staff, beautiful food, good range of drinks, dog friendly - perfect! 🐾

Brilliant Sunday roast and the staff are really friendly!

Popped in on a hungry whim and was not disappointed service and food was great, was clean and had a good atmosphere.

Dropped in for coffee. Friendly staff.

Ordered 2 🍕 and a salad 🥗 great food, and service. It's was very tasty.

As an ex Capetonian I know good food. The 12oz burger I had was amazing.. perfectly cooked and full of flavour! Service was excellent and my partner and I were welcomed with our dog. 5 star value too. Highly recommended

I was on holiday last week with my family 2/9-9/9/2024. We ate here twice. What a lovely place this is. We hadn't booked but they fitted us in. Fabulous food, lovely staff, so friendly & attentive. Couldn't fault both visits. Will definitely visit again in the future. Don't change a thing. It's perfect as is.

Good food, very decent portions, worth a visit as a family

The exmoor beef and vegetable pie was amazing. The steak was extremely chewy and it hurts my jaw from chewing it.

If people come here for a special night....God only knows what they eat on a daily basis. In fairness the pizza was edible but the place had the ambience of a transport cafe. It's a mediocre food pit stop....nothing more.

Myself and my friend stopped here on our first night in a local campsite- having travelled 3 hours we were not in the mood to cook! We stumbled across this gem, managed to book a table online with ease for an hour ahead (we were very pleased with). From the moment we walked in a member of staff was there to greet us and welcome us to our table. We promptly got our drink order taken and they came in a timely fashion. Having had a look at the specials I fancied a steak where I made nearly every adjustment under the sun, but it wasn’t a challenge for the team! The steak was cooked to perfection with fluffy yet crispy chips too. My friend highly complimented her burger and was so so pleased. There was no delay and I was quite surprised at how quickly the food came out. Dessert was a lovely biscoff cheesecake ! During our time at the table there was a family we overheard requesting an order of an item on the menu to be done for their child, lady checked with the kitchen and they could do it! Another table next to us had a gluten intolerance and many items were catered to be gluten free, I was quite amazed! The only minor detail which I could say requires improvement is asking whether there is an allergy for anyone dining in. I did make them aware of my allergy so it did not hinder my experience in the slightest!

Sunday roast, absolutely wonderful, half roast chicken, roast potatoes, big Yorkshire pudding, seasonal veg (the thinly sliced parsnips to die for) rich gravy sauce, cheese and leek bake on the side. ( A little more than I usually pay but ) The quality was absolutely stupendous! £18 pp? absolutely worth it! if not more. Thank you guys! you really made my holiday. I'd give a hundred if I could.. if you're in the area and fancy a Sunday lunch get there early you wont be disappointed 🤪🤪🤪🤪 ( ps make sure you're stomach is empty) 🤪😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great Sunday roast recommend the beef . Amazing Yorkshire puddings

Lovely place to eat, great food and friendly staff. You definitely need to book beforehand

This is our second visit. Amazing food and staff. Worth a vist

Really good food great service needs a bigger carpark had to park on very busy road

We don't eat on the spot but we take away all the foods. Which is really great if you so wet and drenched from the beach and want to enjoy their food at room. Overall the food taste so good 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 my favourite beef chilli with loaded fries.

Really lovely place, great food and friendly staff. Had a really good range of vegetarian options with meat alternatives done well.

Good food and friendly staff. Enjoyed our experience. Would recommend.

Great big pizzas! Don’t worry you can take away your leftovers. Friendly staff, good food and reasonable prices what more do you need. Well done.

Went for Sunday roast. 3.pm sitting. No more roasts. Would expect bank Holiday weekend to cater for this. Had a pizza best I've ever had. Car park tight for parking. Don't know whether they had overflow parking. Staff very good after initial mix up with order.

Booked for 3.15pm to go for a Sunday roast and they had none….not good tbh. They have massive signs outside to say “Sunday Roast”, then to go and they have none is very disappointing. Also, the man said on arrival “We have sold out of roast dinners. You’re never guaranteed on after 3pm” it would be helpful it that was stated somewhere. A few other pubs we passed by in Ilfracombe do state “server until 2pm” so would be handy if these guys said that also. As the big signs are misleading, Service was decent. Food was OK but overpriced for the quality imo. Wouldn’t visit again in a hurry……. Free parking is a good feature.

We came here twice, once for breakfast and once for drinks as we were camping nearby. The service and drinks were lovely, the only thing that needed a bit of attention was the eggs Benedict as it was a bit smothered in sauce and the bacon wasn't the best but overall was a nice place to try :)

Got there just before 11:30 with a couple of young kids for a quick sandwich. Was told there is no food till lunchtime, even though you can book a table at 11:30 online which is somewhat contradictory. I'm glad in the end because we found a great little cafe in Woolacombe, in fact, plenty of different choices down there in the bay.

Second time we have been here, first time at Easter. Great for a Sunday Roast. Large portions, dog friendly and good selection of local beer. Great service and friendly staff

Large restaurant, really friendly staff and fantastic food

I wish it was my local the food and service was fabulous 🤩🤩

I went in here couple weeks ago did not have food but the place looks great inside , food looks like it is cooked all fresh will go back again and try the food ,,had a pint of lager 15 % lemonade bottom & 15% top nice pint I enjoyed it.. service was friendly & welcoming keep up the good work only gave it 4 star because of did not have food, 2nd visit had food I must say it was very nice , change my star rating to 5...

On a short 5 day break to Ilfracombe we visited The Depot 3 times as we loved it so much. Amazing food, staff, atmosphere and loved the decor too

Can only say some of the best food we have had Pizzas spot on and huge for kids portion too Piri piri prawns were amazing Would give 6 stars if we could 😀

Cracking food, great atmosphere. Staff are friendly. Gets very busy so I would recommend booking.

what a beautiful restaurant. food amazing atmosphere great .immaculately clean .and really nice staff.

My daughter adores it here. We took her boyfriend too as an exam passing treat and he was blown away. I had pizza, my husband had a burger...they all had 12oz with extras like bacon, pulled pork, beef chilli, dirtied up fries....they were in heaven. This chips are delicious, l don't know what they do to them but they seem waffled, kinda scooped but perfectly crispy and fluffy inside. Lewis is a bubbly, friendly, darling, makes you feel really welcome. Staff are attentive and we were served by a lovely friendly young woman...nothing is too much trouble here. 10/10 Thanks guys

Tried to go here on our first evening, they were very busy..but we were greeted by a very rude young man and virtually insulted at the bar by the bar msidy because we said we'd just have a drink It looked like all the staff could have been school holiday stand ins, they looked out of their depth...shame

Excellent place - great value for money on the Full Tilt breakfast. Great staff. Great food. Really clean. Top notch!

Pulled pork is amazing, food was quick and fresh

Stopped here on the way back from the beach for dinner, we got pizza and nachos to share. The pulled pork was yummy but other than that, the nachos were okay and pizza was okay too. Cool american theme

Lovely clean and friendly great drink presentation (gin)

Managed to fit us in when really busy. Food was really really good and fantastically fast service. Couldn't praise them more. A very well oiled machine.

everything is spot on ....brilliant place

Food was good, our party of 9 which included 3 children were happy with their food. Service was a bit slow, but it was busy, recommend prebooking as based near a camp site. Easy to get to, small car park for size of pub.

The perfect place for a rainy day on holiday. Being dog friendly was brilliant! The food was amazing! Really big portion sizes and it arrived super quick! We'll be back!

Their Pizzas are enormous! Good service with the staff to cope. Well spaced tables and really interesting decor.

Drove past and thought we’d try it as we were on holiday, So glad we did the food was lovely and so were the staff so friendly,the portion sizes were very generous,definitely if back in the area I’d go there again and most definitely recommend it ,

The pizza’s are amazing and worth every penny. The spicy chicken and chorizo pizza is the best I’ve had in years. The burgers are average and the loaded fries are very disappointing. Not at all what you’d expect. More important is that it is incredibly overpriced. I ordered two portions of chips and it was £16!! No salt, no sauce, next to no seasoning even though I ordered Cajun fries. Very disappointing. We only ate there because we were staying at the park and it’s in the middle of nowhere.

Nice food but incredibly slow service. Waited for 20 mins just for our drinks and then the order was wrong. Asked for the bill and another 20 min wait.

Good food, bad, slow service, some servers were polite, some were very ignorant, customer services were bad, very long waiting time, clean ish place, overall not bad, one server was too busy chatting to friends for over 20 mins, one was very helpful, but didn't get her name, early 20,s brown ish shoulder length hair ? Generally not a bad night,

Amazing !!! Time and time again can’t fault it

Great place to have a meal. The burgers are Fantastic.

We stopped here on our way back from a weekend away in North Devon, we saw it on the way up and my wife was keen to try it. It certainly stands out as a place you’ll want to try with its appearance fr the road. Someone has spent a few quid making this place look appealing. My wife ordered a pizza and I went for Tacos, although we split both so we could share. Personally I thought the food was ok-good, I’d go back again but not desperate to. My wife thought it was really good so… 🤷🏼‍♂️😂. Service was good, nice and polite people served us. The interior decor has a nice American theme going on, although the music grates a little after a while. Toilets clean and modern which is nice.

Lovely pub/restaurant to go to in the evening went here just for a drink as on holiday. But had the owner come up and swiped the glasses away as soon as we fished our drinks . Gosh! I know he likes it clean but to take them away as soon as we finshed we felt we couldn't stay just to have another and relax after a long drive .

So glad we managed to book a table, great food and all staff were welcoming. The fries were so good

Amazing food and very clean toilets

Can't cook a poached egg it would seem. Perhaps their timer was broken. Service good with a smile etc, no problem there. Smoked bacon or smoked bacon. Which not everybody likes on a breakfast. Nice place environment wise tho with plenty of space.

Clean tidy, Amazing food and service, Will definitely return

Only great if you want to east pizza. We've ordered beef madras curry meal (chefs special, approx £20 each) which was horrible - beef tasted like it was from the tin, rice was from microwavable packet, nan bread not hand made (from the packet), not tasty at all and ridiculously expensive. Topped up with a staff's hair!!! Garlic pizza as a a starter was tasty. Only recommend if you come in for eating pizza only.

Great family meal service very good food catered for children front of house man very good, so good we went back for Sunday lunch Roast Beef melt in the mouth

Beautiful Ambient & 5 star pizza and nachos rating and neat and clean interior. Must visit place

Lovely food, really nice place!

We went with a large group of us and the food was fantastic. The fries are the best fries we’ve ever had, pizzas fantastic and the chicken burger was amazing. Our only criticism was the service was a bit non existent. We didn’t get offered any more drinks, check back or deserts and we had to go to the bar in the end to pay our bill because none came back to us. The food however was lovely and we would 100% come back for that alone. Would definitely recommend for the food its really lovely .

Lovely food nice beer it does get busy so we book when we go but we have had some great times here worth a visit car park can get full

Fantastic service and the food was brilliant, Beautiful Sunday roast, Quick service and friendly staff, The only let down was no one came to offer us desserts or coffees after our meal but didn’t spoil our visit will definitely return, The shift manger was great couldn’t do enough for us A1

This is a dog friendly restaurant, the food is fantastic. The staff are friendly polite and go out of their way to make sure you are looked after.

I had the Nachos here 8 months ago and in all honesty I haven't stopped thinking about them since to the point where I made the boyfriend book a weekend in Devon just so we could get the Nachos again and boy, they didn't disappoint. I would drive 4 hours again and again for them. The staff are great and welcoming, prices are decent, the atmosphere is lovely. If you go, get the Nachos.

Great food,lots of different choices

Stopped in by chance, not been for a long time. Initially disappointed by the limited menu choice but, turns out, it was wonderful and thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were funny, very good and chatty

Very good place to stop, onwards journey or just to rest ,

Staying nearby for vacation and thought we'd go out for a meal. Really nice surprise when what I thought we passed was a basic pub chain turned out to be one of the best meals we'd had in months. Great food, great service, very dog friendly even with our assistance dog.

Friendly staff and polite food was lovely nice big portions would recommend

Stopped for a couple of beer's decided to have a snack I thought, I had the loaded chips and chilli beef, what a massive meal though it would be a small portion and very very nice well worth the money what I thought was a bit expensive for a small portion but seeing the foods and what others had I wouldn't worry about it you won't be disappointed well worth it money well spent, went again before coming home while on holiday 👍👍👍

Had breakfast here on the way back home from holiday in Devon. Quick easy friendly eatery. Everyone was pleased.

Really nice venue, excellent staff and service and great food for both adults and children. Would definitely eat here again next time we visit.

Staff were great - welcoming and accommodating, the atmosphere was lovely as well. Food was good, not great. My wife LOVED hers (nachos) mine was average (pizza). Handy for a stop but wouldn't go out of my way.

Dog friendly, managed to squeeze us in last min party of 3 (4 including the dog). We had the special, Asian ribs and half roast chicken, lovely food and staff.

Quality food and quick and excellent service, highly recommend booking as it gets busy but well worth it.

Good food, we've returned a few times now as a family.

This is an updated review after a repeat visit. Music is still too loud to the extent the waitress asked if we would like to turn it down as she completely misheard my drink order. Loaded fries were cold and overpriced. Salad was mainly the barbed spiked salad, no leaves and I left most of it. My other half said the pizza was ok but not as good as last time we came. We wouldn't visit again unfortunately.

Staff very kindly found us space for 7 people despite being very busy. Food was excellent with lots of options. Nice atmosphere!

Lovely atmosphere love the vibe. Music and friendly staff

The staff are so friendly and helpful we were really impressed and the Sunday roast is one of the best 😀

Great vibes with great food and great service and it's even dog friendly too boot

Very good place to stop and eat and drink. Staff very friendly and efficient. Food very tasty.

Really enjoyed the food 😋 here ,excellent quality and service 👌

Great place for a meal, service was great. Good quality food. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here.

Group of 16 and no booking. Staff were friendly and were happy to arrange a table for us on the spur of the moment. Food was delicious. Photo of pulled pork fries.

Been here a few times over the years, ordered full tilt and coffee, stated locally sourced produce but I have definitely had a lot better, £12 for a breakfast with only one sausage is very expensive when you have Wetherspoons up the road offering much better value for similar, came out cold and bacon and sausage tasted cheap, coffee was superb and good value though, maybe priced higher to pay for refurbishment which is nice, toilets were spotless

Really lovely food and fab service

Absolutely amazing place, gutted I'm not a local as this place would definitely be a regular. Service was amazing and so was the food. Our puppy was quite happy too.

good food and lovely place and surroundings good history aswell music playing that makes the atmosphere

Loved this little stop off before our journey back home.! We both enjoyed their FULL TILT breakfast with a white coffee and a latte. Their coffee is amazing! Their barista is also pretty awesome. Toilets were clean. Whole place was clean and very well maintained. The decor ... awesome. The ambiance again, lush. Recommend!

Fab food though, perhaps, a tad pricey. Can def recommend the jerk chicken
