Nartnapa in North Devon

Enjoyed the whole experience of this restaurant. Delightful, quiet location overlooking a river. Food was delicious - thoroughly recommended.

My fiancée and I had popped to Lynton for a few days holiday and was recommended here. The staff were all super friendly and attentive we were sat by the window looking at the river going by. The food was amazing. Was freshly cooked perfectly,...

Dropped in on a Monday evening and had a lovely table looking over the river. We had the sharing starter, this was delicious and then 4 different mains, deciding to share them between us. All in all a delightful evening mixed with the best craft...

I visited with my partner & we both thought the food was of a very good standard, along with a decent range of locally brewed ales. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful

My partner and I are dinner here last week while on holiday. The food was the best I’ve ever tasted. It looked fantastic too. We shared the £30 set menu The service was excellent. Relaxed and friendly too.

Had a pre-dinner drink at the bar. Super friendly service, bar man took his time to explain their own brews and sample them. (He did this many times to new punters and never seemed to be tired from the repetition! Amazing) Food was very tasty....

I had heard great things about the local Thai place, so was looking forward to going out for my partners birthday. A very minimal menu compared to a lot of Thai places I’ve been too. No vegan options for starters. Veg soup had shrimp paste...

Had to give it a go after reading the reviews, and so glad we did. Not what you expect of a typical U.K.-style Thai restaurant - basically, it’s set in a pretty but very British looking pub. Go with it! The sharing starter platter was...

Family trip. Lovely view over river from some tables. Good portion sizes and loved the food. Menu doesn’t look inspiring but don’t be put off as the quality is great. Would definitely go again.

Nice pub/restaurant and really friendly staff. Chef is Thai. Food very tasty - spring rolls are a must have!!

Eaten here many times, the staff are beyond great, and the food is better than Thailand thanks guys keep up the great work, Gary and Jan.

Lovely spot by the river, although access to the car park is very tight. Both of us agreed is was probably the best Thai food we had eaten in the UK. And real ale!

I could waffle on for hours about how lovely this place is! I am both sad and delighted it is nowhere near where i live - sad because i'll not get to visit as much as i would like, but delighted because my waistline wouldnt...

This is our second visit and will no doubt not be our last. It is our favourite Thai restaurant. The food is delicious and staff always so friendly. A great find.

Booked a table for a family of four 6/7/19 we absolutely loved everything about this place,the atmosphere, beer selection especially the fat belly coast what fantastic taste just wished I could get it where we live and as for the Thai food I can honestly...

We were greeted by a very friendly member of staff, who showed us to a table by the window which had a great view of the river. The service was all with a smile and very efficient. Simple menu, fabulous quality food! A very enjoyable...

Excellent food, great choice, very tasty, great service. You won't be disappointed with this restaurant

Stayed at Sunny Lyn in a lodge and this was right next door and so convenient. You may need to book a table but worth it. We had a table overlooking the river. Food excellent, freshly cooked, generous portions, catered extremely well for our vegetarian...

While staying in the area we came across the Cottage Inn and discovered online the website that they offer a take-away service.I ordered for collection at 8:15 but had to wait 10 minutes for the order to come out of the kitchen. This didn't bother...

Best Thai food I've eaten for years, despite living in London. Freshly cooked to order, the flavours are intense and clean. You really get the hit of kaffir leaves and thai basil - and chili! Delicious. Even the prawn crackers were hot and freshly cooked....

Great value Takeaway menu for 2 people at £22.50, so good we had it twice whilst camping nearby, just varied our flavour choices, Plenty of food for two.

We drove past this place on way into lynton & lynmouth and we decided to give it a try and what else can I say besides food was very good and a great selection of owned brewed beer definetly come again and recommended.

Read the previous reviews nearly all positive, I’m not sure why hence I had to write my own review. The place is dark only when you get to sit down you can see how grubby it all is. Crumbs wiped off table onto wooden benches...

Best Thai I've had for a long time. The FatBelly craft beer is also very good. Warm friendly atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a taste.

We dined here last week after driving past countless times. The food did not disappoint! We had an amazing, authentic meal that was delicious! We had the sharing platter to start and then both the Thai green and Thai red were fantastic, although pretty spicy...

Ate here during our week in Devon and the previous reviews are all correct. Lovely fresh Thai food, full of flavour and great friendly service.

We dined here after it was recommended to us by so many people. We were not disappointed. The portions were large (but not too large!) and the dishes we tried were all delicious and very authentic. Lovely atmosphere and location and really lovely staff.

The food here is amazing. Authentic, flavorsome, quality dishes. We have eaten in many Thai restaurants and this is one of the best. Don’t miss if your in the area.

I must admit to some apprehension to dining at the Cottage Inn, given the unlikely association of a pub serving real ale, and offering Thai food for dinner. Any doubts were quickly allayed, as the welcoming greeting from the proprietor assured me that this would...

Amazing food and a friendly welcome from the staff. They brew their own beer on site too. The amazing chef is Thai and cooks up a storm in this roadside pub. It's the best Thai food I've had outside of the far East.

Combining excellent Thai food and a microbrewery in a stunning setting beside the West Lyn River this is the perfect place for a relaxed and scrumptious family meal.

The chef is Thai, the food is delicious and having eaten extensively in Thailand, it's about as authentic as you are going to get in the UK. Spicyness can be varied if required, if like me you turn purple and perspire a lot! The owner...

A great place to eat, the food was freshly cooked and so tasty. The staff could not be more helpful if they tried. In addition the beer brewed on the premises is lovely, I cannot find a single fault with anything. Access to the car...

My partner and I had a delicious meal here whilst staying at the caravan and camping park which was right next door. We had a sharing platter to start, yummy! My partner then had a colorful looking duck stir fry and he said it was...

We were visiting Lynton for the day and came across the cottage inn. It is a quaint pub with exceptionally friendly staff and an on-site brewery. There is a Thai restaurant at the back of the building which is ran by a Thai family, you...

Indeed, this pub has four very nice rooms overlooking the West Lyn river. We were here for 2 nights, and I think this is by far the best Thai cuisine that we have tasted in the UK. Service is friendly and helpful, Nartnapa is present....

Totally amazing experience, lovely pub/restaurant in great location and food to drool over. Never tasted Thai food like it and cannot wait to return, Oh the Red Thai Curry, can still taste it. The home brewed beer was excellent and the service was attentative, the...

We stayed very local to this restaurant and having walked all day, could hardly walk another step for dinner, so it was a choice of 1 restaurant being so local to where staying. The food was excellent, service great. It was so good, we decided...

Had a takeaway - limited menu and even then no noodles available. Currys were good and authentic flavour, chicken in oyster sauce was a little watery. Spring roll was good as were prawn dippers. A little pricey at £35 for 3 meals to go. Parking...

Still one of the best pubs in North Devon.Beers brewed on site which take some beating and as for the Thai food.....out of this world.Brilliant camp site next door as well.Adam and his staff couldn't be better.

Best thai we've ever had (thai is our favourite so we've had a few). Great food, great atmosphere and great service. We would have happily eaten here every night of our 1 week holiday.

Was recommended by our guesthouse and now recommending to you. Lovely local pub on the river serving wide selection of beers (including many from the local fatbelly brewery), wines and a large gin selection! The main event for us was the excellent Thai food. Incredibly...

Very good Thai food. On the expensive side but food is fresh, well made and presented. Good range of craft beers. Friendly staff and locals. Dog friendly. Parking is tight.

Lovely old pub with incredible freshly cooked Thai food , highly recommended ,lovely staff and atmosphere. Toilets in need of an update and lots of mistakes on the bill to our benefit which we told them about if they do it to everyone they are...

Good value - though not cheap. Food is consistently good, and service friendly. Very relaxed and works well all year round.

We enjoy Thai food and had an enjoyable meal at the Cottage Inn. The meat was very tender and the flavours were good. The service was friendly but a little slow on the evening we went. The house wines were tasty. If you’re staying in...

We ate here last night and the food was superb,(dare I say the best we have eaten outside of thailand) they do there own range of craft beers which complement the thai food too,a great little quirky restaurant pretty much on our doorstep...we will return

Wonderfully fresh ingredients and tastey authentic sauces. The very best Thai we’ve eaten!!! Would definitely revisit!

We have eaten here on 3 occasions over the last few months and the food has been consistently great. You can tell the love , care and attention to detail that goes into every plate of food. Dishes freshly prepared, hot ,spicy and delicious ....

Had a lovely meal there as recommended by my sister and food was fabulous. Really enjoyed the sharing starter as well. Good value for money. Will definitely be back in May with friends.

Went to a wine pairing evening. Was really good. The food and the wine were ace. We were very well looked after. My partner doesn’t like wine and they did a great job of matching beers with the food. They are a brewers called fat...

This fabulous pub and restaurant was recommended to us by the owners of our hotel, The Choughs Nest, and we’re so glad we took the advice.. My wife and I had a wonderful evening in the great company of Jamie and Ken, we then enjoyed...

Great find! Lovely, fresh menu, accommodating for meat-eaters, vegetarians, vegans and coeliacs! Brilliant service, good portions and very flavourful! Their brewery, FatBelly, seems to be taking off and the beer we had was delicious, the porter was particularly good! Lovely family run place with a...

Excellent Thai food and real ale. By the river in beautiful Lynton. We had a lovely evening and look forward to our next visit.

Returned here for a Valentine night meal. Service was better as the kitchen was up and running after the refit last summer and not a chipped bowl in sight. Goon amazing and I must recommend the salt and pepper squid in their own tamarind sauce....

This was the first time I have eaten freshly made spring rolls, bigger than the average spring roll, fresh, tasty and hot. I wanted a curry for main course, but after checking the 'has shrimp paste in the soup' statement for vegans on the menu,...

Amazing set meal again. One veggie and other one chicken, with the best spring rolls. I'm sure there is some secret addictive ingredients that leaves us craving a green curry on cold winter night. Great to have a friendly chat and a quick drink ,while...

Nice place a lttle out of town but easy to get to via a walkway from near the Crown pub. Really good thai food, obviously care about what they are cooking. Beer is very good as well. Highly recommended.

Our second visit to this fantastic restaurant and the standard was just as good as the first time. The whole meal was absolutely delicious and the portions were huge. We had the set menu B and it didn’t disappoint, beautiful flavours and enough left over...

The evening started with wonderful home brewed craft beer that was worth the trip on its own. The owner and his thai wife were warm and friendly. and the staff were mostly excellent with just the one to prove haw good the rest were. The...

This was the most amazing find. Absolutely delicious meal, best Thai food I have ever tasted. Staff friendly and so welcoming. Great atmosphere. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

We ordered a takeaway a sat down in front of the warming log burner and enjoyed a pint of their on site brewed beer. The beer and overall ambience was great and the meals were fantastic. The amount of food was amazing. If you go...

Highly recommend booking a table here: you will not be disappointed! Every dish is created from scratch, fresh and fragrant and beautifully balanced. I sampled the fish cakes followed by green Thai curry. My partner ordered the squid followed by a Beef chilli basil noodle...

Excellent family meal. Good service, excellent choice e of beers and ciders. Good portions fresh ingredients and choice of dishes. My wife is on a low carb diet but still had a large selection of dishes to choose from.

We started our annual group holiday with a meal here and had a great time. The food was excellent and served with good humour. Good beer was a great accompaniment.....ale brewed in the premises as well as Thai favourite Chang available. Two of the group...

Went today for a roast dinner with friends who live close by. It was very busy, which is a good sign. I had roast turkey with all the trimmings including Yorkshire pud (very important). A feast!!!

This is a pub with attached restaurant overlooking the river. Very basic decor. Pleasant and attentive service. Starters were choice of two ‘dippers’ of spring rolls and prawns. Sauce wonderful, and powerful. Mains of curry or noodles. Wonderful flavours, and served by the Thai chef...

We were staying in the Sunny Lynn camp-site next door and found this to be both, a welcoming pub (with its own micro-brewery !!), and a delicious Thai restaurant which is, I believe the landlord's wife's domain, since she is Thai !! A truly delicious...

Stayed at this Hotel for 2 nights the Rooms were stylish and extremely comfortable and our large room overlooked the Stream/River it was stunning and nothing was to much trouble food was lovely although if you dont like Thai then not a lot of other...

Ate there on the only night it was open during a short stay. Food was definitely Thai but very gently spiced and seemed no options for anything hotter on the menu. Food was good and the bar very pleasant though. Would go again.

We ate here twice on our stay in Lynton The second visit we hadn’t booked but Gary kindly squeezed us in. The food was delicious and he has a good gin selection along with craft ale and cider

Started well, with nice starters of spring rolls and squid, however, the red and green chicken curries were far too spicy for us despite us asking and being told they were not spicy and we are used to eating curries. The desserts of apple and...

Booked at the last minute and enjoyed our stay. The place is a little quirky but hospitality very good. The Thai food looked excellent but did not eat here had other arrangements.Breakfast included was great and loved the coffee.. Would stay again but my only...

A large group of us ate here as part of our walking weekend. We had walked 13 hilly miles during the day so as you can imagine, we were looking forward to a good beer (or two) and lots of yummy food. On arrival, I...

We went to restaurant which is at the rear of an old pub just out of town on a Sunday evening. It was a little quiet and the surroundings are a little strange being rather dark and a definite throw back to the 80's. The...

Me and my partner often come here for beautiful vegan Thai food and it is always so delicious. It’s set in a cosy pub that overlooks a river too! We highly recommend.

We were staying in Lynton for the weekend and as we love tai food thought would try this restaurant.The service was very good and friendly ,and obliging when I asked for my meal to be not too spicy,our meals were very good and we both...

This family owned Thai place is set in a pub which overlooks a river and back of a lovely forest. We came to Nartnapa in 2015 just a year after it had opened and the quality of food was much better than our recent visit....

Fresh fruit food. A little more expensive than I expected but very convenient if you’re staying at the adjacent Sunny Lyn site. The guy who took my order by telephone was helpful and friendly.

Great Thai meal at the Nartnappa. We had the set menu A and enjoyed every mouthful. We had a great table overlooking the pretty river and spotted a kingfisher, a grey wagtail and what looked like a bullfinch feeding a baby. The wine and the...

Nartnapa Thai Inn is a quirky pub that serves Thai food. I ordered a Thai Red Curry but was given a Thai Green Curry, the waiter apologised and exchanged for the correct meal. The egg fried rice was well cooked but sickeningly sweet and we...

Booked in on the recommendation from the owners for the B and B we were staying at and reviews from trip advisor. We booked for 2030 so arrived at 2020 but were not seated until 2100 due to them being busy. We opted for set...

Visited here purely on the strength of the reviews on Trip Advisor & are so glad we did. Brilliant from start to finish. Great service, superb food and lovely location. We will definitely be returning again!!!

Excellent Thai food, delicious and not too spicy. We had a table overlooking the river. The staff and service good. They also did their own good craft beer for my husband. Would certainly eat here again when in the area.

Brilliant meal last night! Service great and the view from our table was fantastic. Definitely be back when we next visit Lynton.

I’d heard so much about this place and it lived up to every amazing review. Wonderful staff, great choices, gorgeous food and dog friendly! This is definitely going to be an annual stop on our holiday from now on. Highly recommended!!

We love Nartnapa Thia, it’s a must visit each and every time we visit the area, wish we didn’t live so far away this would easily become a local for us!!! Easy to book online, Ken got back to us quickly and even on arrival...

This place was recommended to us and we were not disappointed! The food was beyond sublime, the ale brewed on site “Fat Belly” was fantastic and the service was superb. We will be back!

Very tasty dishes. My kids are usually quite fussy but a day of walking and the tasty food meant they loved it. My son adored the pork in black pepper and me and daughter had ginger chicken. Shame they dont have Thai deserts as they're...

We stumbled across this place and decided to go after the great reviews we saw. We all enjoyed our food but we waited and waited for our drinks , had to remind them , I guess they were busy and we would give it another...

We went to this Thai on our second night in Lynton after a disappointing first dinner elsewhere. We hadn't booked, yet the table was ready for us within half an hour. We were able to start ordering whilst waiting at the bar. The food was...

The squid starter was amazing and the green curry had many layers of flavour that developed as you ate. Service was slow but they are having the kitchen refitted so I can allow for that. I so wanted to give this gem of a restaurant...

Chose the set menu B and the food was absolutely delicious - authentic Thai flavours. Great selection of in house brewed ales too. Friendly staff and owners - we will be back.

Fab Thai street style food served in a lovely setting with lots of ales to try from the nano brewary. Food was tasty, fresh and just Devine! Would recommend and will definitely be returning.

What an amazing find! Utterly delicious! When you intially arrive you walk through a pub but then around the corner is a transformed section that is the restaurant, super comfy velvet seats overlooking a babbling river just below wonderful warm and friendly owners who truly...

It’s not your usual Thai menu and a tad pricey but very tasty. Ingredients are always if hugh quality and cooking is great. The menu is a little different to your normal menu but the food is well cooked. You won’t be disappointed.

What a find..... Stayed at the Woodlands Guest House and read lovely reviews so just had to try it! Thankfully we did as it was the best Thai meal we have ever had. Advise booking and eating early as it gets very busy. As for...

I knew we were going out for dinner tonight so didn’t have any lunch and went for a 7 mile run to build up an appetite and I’m now so full of delicious food I can’t move!! We had the set menu for 2 and...

you would be hard pressed to taste better, fresher thai food than here & with the nano brewery makes for a great meal.

How unexpected? Beautiful old pub, excellent beers and very friendly and convivial staff, a real pleasure to visit and be welcomed. The food is outstanding, no, really outstanding. It very well presented and the dishes I had were cooked to perfection. Big fat plump prawns...
