Indian Cousin in North Devon

The restaurant seemed to no longer exist.

We recently celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at the Boathouse with our family. We have to say the food was excellent with a broad range of delicious options and an excellent wine menu. We were looked after by Simon and he and his colleagues were very attentive. It is a lovely restaurant and would thoroughly recommend it.

The wind was blowing so hard that I couldn't breathe, so I went into the teahouse for a moment! I ordered a bacon sausage sandwich and it was delicious... 3 hours later, 3 of the 4 people got food poisoning and were vomiting and having diarrhea and making a fuss. The next day, I canceled the entire trip and came home. This was the second food poisoning in my life since I got food poisoning after eating raw raw fish in the middle of summer. Even though it was winter and I was eating cooked food, I was really throwing up. It's as big as the body ㅠㅠ Be careful with your food... … …

Stumbled across the cafe when we arrived in Ilfracombe and needed coffee. Quaint and characterful and clearly has it's regular customers. Coffee was good and hot but the homemade Eccles cake was amazing! The other treats looked good too. Coming across The Naked Cake cafe was the best thing about Ilfracombe which was otherwise, tatty and very down at heel.

Lilico’s used to be one of my favourite dinner spots in Barnstaple. The tapas dishes were amazing and there was always a good atmosphere so when a friend suggested we go here with our partners for dinner we thought we’d give it a go, first time since it has been taken over by someone else and well let’s just say it will also be the last. Food was bland, probably the worst I have ever had. Cocktail menu was boring. Staff were miserable. And it was dead in there. Such a shame that Lilicos has been ran down into the ground.
