Madd Hatters in Torridge

This is our fourth visit to the gardens and the restaurant. The food has always been imaginative, tasty and well cooked and sufficient in quantity. The only negative this time is the poor service. The waiting staff are lovely people but there aren’t enough of them and they seem to lack leadership and direction. Disappointed that you are not taken to a table and as such we hung around the entrance being ignored before just going to a table! Didn’t feel comfortable that staff actually clocked we were there! Restaurant really needs a change, it can’t cope, which is a shame.

The van runs a generator all day to power the van, noisy and polluting. must be a greener way to run a business.

A locals fav with lovely local dishes

Lovely roast dinner. Friendly staff. Good prices. Would visit again and highly recommend for families or groups. Great

Popped in for lunch on way back from Bideford hospital & was seated by a really friendly & welcoming member of staff with a beard at a lovely table in a bay window with the sun shining in, we mentioned to him of my fiancés tolerance to salt to which he gave us a full folder with every dish & ingredients on the menu so well done to Brewers Fayre for training your staff probably 👍🏻 I had the Korean Chicken burger which was great & really tasty & my better half went for the Thai Veg Curry with extra grilled chicken but unfortunately they had run out the chicken as it was busy plus we didn't arrive till mid afternoon, again it was good but the Thai sauce could of done with being a bit more spicier for our taste buts that's personal preference really & it was tasty to be fair. I had a Triple Chocolate Brownie with ice cream for dessert which was also very nice so all in all this was a very good visit 👍🏻
