Heanton Court in North Devon

Nice restaurant right next to see the sea, welcoming staff, we found this place by driving back and to on the main road Meals where decent and good prices for the area

Came in on Sunday, had a very nice roast, will definitely recommend!!!

Lovely staff , and very nice food

Lovely pub to take my dogs to. My Friend had a orange dome and I had a mushroom starter all was beautiful

came for lunch today! very nice food and staff

I wouldn’t feed this to my dog. The sandwich was absolutely dry and flavourless Paid £11 for this

Came to this wonderful location yesterday for lunch with my family and it was amazing. We were seated and served by Clare who was so lovely and friendly and made sure we were happy with everything. The food was wonderful, we had the calamari and the prawn cocktail for starters with the lamb shank and chicken pie for our mains and it was all spectacular. Well done to all the staff making it such a lovely meal 10/10!

Great visit , great team and service was amazing we will be back

It's a nice place to visit for something to eat and drink Food was OK but have had better Smelt of damp as you went upstairs to the toilets. Easy access to tarka trail Lovely views from outside Easy parking

A really lovely place for Sunday lunch. Outside tables with a great view, great menu and friendly staff. Very dog -friendly.

Really good place to stop on the Tarka Trail

Must try? Great pub, Great food, and don't forget the gravy

Lovely place with beautiful views. Food is great too!

Super place stunning views! Great service and food. Busy but efficient, will be returning very soon

We were a table of 10, ranging from 9yrs to 89yrs and a dog. The service was very good, the food was excellent and the beer was one of the best in the area. This is one of our favourite places to eat and is always guaranteed to be consistently good.

Many thanks to James and team for providing an excellent send off for my dad's wake. The staff were kind and supportive, and provided plenty of tasty food, topping up the colourful buffet as necessary, and checking we were happy. The venue was light and comfortable, disabled access was good, and it was convenient for parking. We felt blessed to get a sunny afternoon to sit outside and enjoy the peaceful views of the estuary.

Brilliant visit, friestafc, good food and lovely views!

Fantastic!! Lady in pink couldnt have down more for us. All staff were great. Food 10/10.

Amazing place, highly recommended 5*’s! Shout out to the chefs Kieran and Alfie the food was class top job guys keep it up!!!!!

Heanton Court, was absolutely magic, the staff are great! Food was amazing 10/10

family meal. Absolutely stunning, all 3 courses faultless. The staff are great ans work so hard. Thank you to all the team

Beautiful beer garden and great service from the girls behind the bar 😊 will be back!

10/10 highly recommend! Superb couldn’t fault it!! Can’t wait to visit again! You have to come for a roast, 10/10

Great food, good service and beautiful setting. Dogs are allowed too.

I would like to give my thanks to the owner of this place. I lost my phone on Tarka trail and he found it and brought it back to the pub. Such a gentleman.

What a venue!!!! Mother’s Day was excellent, couldn’t fault the service or food!! What a lovely experience we had, thank you to James and the team!! Can’t wait to visit again soon!!

Just had a very nice and tasty turkey 🦃 roast

Mothers Day lunch. Very warm welcome. Dogs equally welcome. Great service, good beer selection and a superb Sunday roast👍👍

Amazing! So we were there for mothers day! The food was amazing. It was the best meal I have ever had there. All three of us were so impressed with the amount and quality of the food. Now several years ago when it was the Braunton Inn we went for a family meal. we had a horrible meal and esperience. I complained and later i was told there are 5 meals waiting for us with my name on them. The food and the service was so bad at the time, I never collected the free meals. The turn around from then to now is incredib;e. The Chefs should be proud of the food they turn out and the staff were great too. Would love to collect those meals now!!

Great place to visit. Welcomed with a very warm welcome. Staff very friendly. Food is excellent. Can’t fault the place. Just need a bus stop nearby

Nice atmosphere & surrounding. In fact sat at the table next to the open fire. The service & staff were very friendly. The not so good things..table was dirty, my pizza was absolutely awful & on hindsight I should have sent it back. Hardly any toppings. The rest of the table faired better with the sea bass being the best on offer. We all had desserts which were good. We had a 40% off voucher which helped. With out this voucher it would have been an over priced disaster. We personally won’t be returning.

Came in with my family last Sunday, had a lovely roast beef dinner. Service was great and the waitress named Izzy was very helpful. The lady named Claire was also lovely! We will return soon!

Visited after a walk along the tarka trail. Sunday lunch was being served. We were both hungry so it would be rude not to try tge trio meat Sunday lunch. It did not disappoint fresh cooked veg, real Yorkshire pudding and deliciously tender meat. Well worth a visit and we will be back soon.

Went for a walk with my wife and dog, stopped off here for a bite of lunch. We both had a fish finger sandwich and we shared a calamari starter. The calamari was fabulous... The fish finger sandwich was oily and didn't qo down as well as hoped. Beautiful location, quick service.

Absolutely Brilliant Birthday Sunday Lunch Thanks To Everyone At Heanton Court The Finest Place To Wine And Dine In Barnstaple At Thiis Moment In Time

Adapted the menu for us, very friendly, very accommodating, great atmosphere. Will be back in the summer to sit and enjoy thier beer range in the garden.

Fabulous view. Overpriced. Lovely interior. Inexperienced staff. Tiny portions. Welcome dogs in front bar and top patio. £9.50 for a glass of mediocre wine.... wow

Just popped in for a drink. Lovely atmosphere. Heaton Court was buzzing. Will definitely be back.

Excellent Service Wonderful Food Well Worth Venturing Out Today 15/10 Once Again Heanton Court A Real PleasureTo Visit

Claire was very help fill in a very busy environment made us very welcome

Great dog friendly pub on the way in to, or out of Braunton, and a convenient stop to charge the car.

Staff happy to adjust set meal to accommodate my husband preferences. Roasties rather than chips. My vegan food was very enjoyable.

We decided to go out for a last minute Sunday lunch. Quick and easy booking made on the phone. Having not been to the pub in years, it was lovely to return to such a lovely setting with a warm welcome. Nicely decorated, cute little table and lots of other customers dining as well. We both had starters, mains, desserts, coffees and a pint and neither of us could fault a single thing. Very reasonable prices, our meal totalled to £97. Service was excellent, we were looked after by the lovely Elise. Look forward to returning soon! Many thanks 😊

Nice view over the Taw estuary. Had the best fish and chips I have eaten for a long time Haddock in very good batter

Had the absolute best valentines meal here ! The food was stunning, the steak was the best steak I've ever eaten (I'm a huge steak fan) The log fire was stunning and the value for money well £30 for a 3 course meal! I would of paid double easy! ❤️❤️ We travelled an hour and it definitely didn't disappoint.

Great food ,really helpful staff who create a lovely welcoming atmosphere.all that and stunning views of the estuary.

Love this place, great food service and atmosphere and amazing beer garden views.

Called in here for a quick drink. Lovely views over the river. Nice old building. Lots parking. Would return another time.

Went in to get a table for 2 plus 2 dogs was told we couldn't sit inside as there wasn't room, it was a busy Sunday so fair enough, asked to sit outside to be told we couldn't order food outside. Doesn't make much sense at all. Lady at the front in the pink jacket was less than helpful, we did have a good meal here a few months ago so not sure what's happened. Disappointing.

Been here five times. The staff are a credit to management. The food is exceptional and well presented.

What an amazing pub! James the manager has got customer service off to a pat! Amazing! Food is delicious. Service impeccable. Love it. It’s our go to from now on!

Definitely our favourite pub for food or drink. James creates such a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. Whether sitting outside with a stunning view in the summer or cosy next to the fire in the winter I cannot recommend highly enough.

Another delicous roast dinner served at Heanton Court. James and his team are welcoming & friendly.

The Heanton Court has a wonderful atmosphere. The Christmas Day food was amazing and the staff were really welcoming. It was a wonderful way to spend Christmas Day with family.

Another success from M&B. Our server Elise was outstanding. She was polite and helpful. We were very well looked after. The food was very good and well presented! Had the camembert frita on caramalised onion and mushroom chutney together with the Sticky crispy chicken in sweet chilly (freshly made). Absolutely worth a visit...

Wasn't offered the Christmas menu on arrival, given wrong order. Menu was the same as last year, too much thyme on food. Was easily 8 bits all mixed into food, was like eating twigs. The stuffing was the size of a 50p and extremely small and dry. The potatoes were burnt and soggy. Will not be returning again.

Took a little pit stop here, visited here couple of years ago when it was called the Braunton Inn. Happy it's doing better now!

Please bring this to your everyday menu! Delicious! TRILLIONAIRES CHOCOLATE BAR (V) Dark chocolate & toffee ganache layered on a chocolate chip cookie base, served with fresh cream and rich chocolate sauce Vegan option available

Free parking, very impressive Heaton Court with sun terrace and access to the cycle path. The interior is impressively comfortable. We stayed for cold drinks which were brought out too us. A very pleasant relaxing place for food and drinks. Highly recommended would visit again. We sat indoors beside a roaring fire, fabulous! Not too busy at midday on a Wednesday, cold drinks and a lunch, nicely presented food, chicken pie mash and veg, beef toasted sandwich with sauce and fries. Both were delicious. Highly recommended. Surroundings very comfortable. Will visit again.

Great food while sitting out in the autumn sun, the thai curry was wonderful and staff were very attentive with regard to food allergies. All in all a great experience Just dropped in for a drink a few months later, different staff but equally as good 👍

Love heanton court,great food and service and a lovely location.

It was a very friendly atmosphere, the food was fantastic. I had the Mac'n' cheese with a salad and it was the best one I've ever had. The salad was fresh and had a dressing that was amazing. The Mac'n' cheese was cooked to perfection and had just the right amount of cheese in it. We will definitely be returning when we are next on our holidays

We like visiting Heanton Court but will have to avoid for a while due to the damage caused to our car on the pot holes and very poor entrance drive, please get this matter fixed urgently !

Lovely cosy atmosphere. Had a table by the fire. Food was really good. Excellent service.

Fantastic friendly staff good food our go to place for food, coffee and family events, all the staff here are a credit to the pub,came again Friday afternoon for a meal, what a fantastic location with sun shining on estuary this must be the best place to eat in North Devon

We usually like the place but this visit was a bit of a disaster. Two of our meals were forgotten then came out cold. I had gammon, which was tough. We also had to remind them about the desserts. However, the choux pastry banoffee pie was delicious. Having only one real ale, Doombar, is not very good.

This is a lovely spot for a bite to eat. We ate outside with a view of the Yeo estuary. Staff seemed genuinely friendly and we had a great time. Main meal and drinks for four adults came to just over £100

Had the burger with brisket which was tasty, calamari was I bit tough to be honest as a starter, nice wooden fire, was quite quiet so did lack atmosphere but a lovy building

Dropped in so we didn't book a table but we were greeted very nicely and they found us a table for 5. Ordered the food and drinks. The kid meal of chicken nugget and chips left a bit to be desired. The garlic bread was really dry that we ordered as a side but the other meals were OK. Value for money with the Hunters Chicken but the rest I think were overpriced for the quality. Staff were lovely.

Really lovely place. Service was a little off this time but otherwise perfect. Can't wait to go back.

Lovely food and atmosphere, always welcoming! So glad the swings are back :)

Lovely lunch with our dogs today 9/10/24

Food was nice ,but quite expensive compared to similar establishments, decor was OK but was expecting better for the prices

Tried this place for the first time as I love other Mitchell & Butler brands (Toby Carvery, Harvester) and from the outside I have always thought it looked nice and was keen to try it. But sadly, this did not live up to the usual standard I expect from this chain. It was disappointing to learn it was bar service, as other M&B chains offer table service and I expected the same. There is also an app to order food, which seems pointless as there were no table numbers and therefore could not proceed with using it. The menu on the app was also slightly different to the ones on the table. The food itself was by no means bad, but for the price you pay for it, I was expecting way higher quality. I couldn't help but compare the meals we had with other places locally such as Brewers Fayre, and in terms of value for money I have to be honest this place just didn't cut it for me. The decor also felt rather worn, and one of our ramekins was very chipped. Again, for the price you would not expect this. Overall, I am giving 3 stars because the food was more than adequate and the exterior decor was very nice, but I cannot give more than this because it was not value for money and while I am glad I gave something different a try, I wouldn't return for the prices they are charging.

Bit tired inside, beautiful view, but food was excellent!

Excellent choices, service and quality food. A great evening out. Many thanks.

Great place! There's been some negative comments on this place but they contradict our experience! Highly recommended!

Lovely place and dog friendly. Was an unusually busy night so service was a bit slow. But overall a lovely place for dinner.

Best fish around . Deep white soft flakes .went to a certain famous place in padstow but this fish beat it on quality and price and service

Just popped in for a drink and a snack scored well on both counts.

A great pub, always welcoming. Great food and friendly staff. James the manger and Louise & Ceri are great hosts in this Lovely Devon pub with really great views.

Really nice, authentic pub just off a gorgeous view of the beach. The atmosphere is next level as the staff are more than accommodating. Not only does it have a vast choice of drinks, the food is amazing. Definitely recommend for food, drinks and all occasions. 10/10 all round!

Veg were raw, not eldente. Roast potatoes must have been yesterday's. The meat was OK. And a trickle of gravy. Not really what you expect for £20 from vintage inn's.

I took my visitors for Sunday lunch and as always it was first class . Clare and Carrie always look after us so well .We had four different meals and they were all perfect. Such a lovely place to go .

Wonderful night as always and great food, could never fault this place lovely staff and friendly service

lovely atmosphere, great service!

Beautiful food, great price. Lovely helpful staff and the views and building is stunning.

Went for Sunday lunch on the way home. Lovely staff and service and the food was ok, but not the biggest of portions for a roast, and the roast potatoes weren't roasted, still hard inside them.

This place is located in a lovely spot right on the Tarka Trail with great views over the estuary.Very spacious with a huge outdoor space too and lots of tables.If you were walking fast or cycling on the Tarka Trail,you could easily pass by and not even realise it was there.I can't understand why they don't have signs and boards that the public can see,and do some promotions or specials to attract the many cyclists.We walks into the pub and a woman jumped out at us and asked can I help you.As it's a walk in pub,I can't see the point,very off putting tbh,not a warm or friendly place.We found a table and I went to the bar to order drinks.I asked for Gordon's gin and ordinary tonic.She poured a gin and topped it up with tonic from.a pull on the bar.Not offered bottled tonic,my husband didn't like the taste of it,I dont know what gin she served but I found out later they don't sell Gordon's but she never mentioned it No small bottles of Prosecco just a 125 mil glass offered at an extortionate price so I had a glass of Rosé instead which was quite nice.We both ordered the chicken and veg Penang curry which wasn't bad,a bit too much sticky rice.The 2 females and 1 male,just yakking all the time,very poor attitude towards the customers,and the one who jumped on us when we arrived was making such a noise banging the cups,saucers, coffee machine,that we got up and moved tables.The place has got so much potential but spoiled by the unfriendly staff with very poor customer service skills .We spent about £80 but as we left,all 3 staff behind the bar,one sitting on a stool ,yakking,no cheerio or thankyou.Whoever owns this place,your front of house are losing you money.I think they thought we were holiday makers,well we're not,haven't been here for a while so thought we'd try again.Needs a big shake up.

Great venue, clean and tidy. Staff were friendly throughout my visit. The manger was welcoming customers when entering the venue and he made us feel very welcome. The food was brilliant and the waitress was lovely. Highly recommend this place and if the weather's good the gardens are simply stunning.

Visited with family. Great food served hot and within a good time considering how busy the place was. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will defo be back more often.

Had a brilliant meal today. Everything ran smoothly even with it being busy and the food was cooked to perfection.

A quick stop off between Braunton and Barnstaple great outdoor area, staff welcoming, no requests a problem,range of beer excellent and well kept. A happy experience!

We visited here last night. A brilliant service from Carrie, Chris and the team. Our experience here is always positive - nothing is too much trouble. We are looked after brilliantly. Returning for a roast on Sunday.

Lovely place; nice food, great down-to-earth staff that went out of their way to make our visit enjoyable. Will visit next time we are in the area for sure.

Was a very friendly pub with great staff, Ryan was very helpful behind the bar and Ella and tanisha who served our food also did a great job

Need more staff, waiting too long to be served. Table sticky, had to wipe with baby wipes. Not a great experience. Waitress couldn't be bothered, didn't make eye contact. All in all a bad experience.

Always a lovely place to vist! great stopping point for walking my dogs

Heanton Court exceeded all expectations! Friendly staff, stunning location, and delicious food made our stay truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Was advised by a family member a visit was a must, beautiful setting beautiful food, service not good, after listening to a member of staff slating the company for being over worked during the summer months, he then proceeded to tell us we would not be able to use my sons discount that had already been accepted by the lady serving us! Miss communication she said but we though just rude, he couldn't be bothered to find out what happened or a suitable resolution!! Which really took away any positivity we thought of the pub!!! Won't be back!!!
