Pattard Restaurant in Torridge

Delicious dinner with high quality food. Great host who expertly advised matching food and wine. Will definitely book again

Our second visit, some three years after the first - this time for dinner rather than lunch. Everything was as we remembered. Great barn-style atmosphere - relatively simple decor - a warm welcome and knowledgeable commentary on menu choices. Food quality was good and the wine list was well chosen and interesting. Would have liked to have seen some English table wines - but do acknowledge that this can be an expensive option. Very highly recommended. As mentioned in our earlier, similarly positive, review, I feel that it would have been great if the restaurant had allowed dogs - with the usual behavioural, temperatmental and restraining caveats - to sit underneath the tables.

We really enjoyed our meal at Pattard and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Delicious food, great service & good value for money. A real hidden gem!

This was an excellent restaurant tucked out the way but with excellent service and food. A great partnership offering superb cuisine and approachable friendly service. I would suggest maybe for night time some solar lights to help with parking and to guide people to the entrance to the restaurant. If you are reading this review make sure you visit you won't be disappointed.

This is one of the best meals I've ever had in a restaurant. Beautiful food. The portions aren't huge, but that's good if you would like more than one course. It isn't fast food or cheap but it's definitely worth eating there. I can't recommend it highly enough. The folk who run the restaurant were helpful and obliging to an elderly relative who was a little eccentric in their expectations.

Fabulous! A really great evening with superb service and the best food I’ve had for a long time. What a lovely place to visit. It’s down a single track and a real gem to find - thoroughly recommended!

Excellent food and service. The food was delicious. Higher end dining, don't expect big portions. Beautiful wine that can be recommended for each dish.

Een verborgen parel. Een huiselijk en modern restaurant met een zeer verfijnde keuken. Ook mooie vegetarische gerechten. Absoluut een aanrader. Het (om)rijden waard. Mogelijkheid voor elektrisch laden van de auto

Had a fantastic dinner at this hidden away restaurant. Beautiful barn conversion room. Food was top notch…scallops and tortellini starters and a perfectly cooked beef main course. Finished off with a delish orange and brandy tart. And service was great from start to finish - perfect balance of chilled atmosphere and real attention to detail. Thanks for a lovely evening!

We had a lovely evening and great food in this beautiful little restaurant! The two staff members did a great job very attentive and tasty food. Thoroughly recommended!

Wow, hard to choose what to have the menu sounded so delicious, we were not disappointed everything we did choose was absolutely amazing. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Fabulous fine dining in a remote setting with very tasteful decor and excellent young pair of chefs running the place. Not at all pretentious but quite the best food we had all eaten in a very long time. My scallops in crab bisque was to die for! Congratulations to both of you and long may you continue to be successful

Excellent food, so well presented and flavourful. Great for a birthday treat! Or anytime! Lovely menu, it was hard to choose. Tender lamb for me and a really chunky piece of cod for my friend. Loved the white choc parfait. Special birthday plate with blackberry sorbet. Delicious ! Thank you !!

This is a fabulous restaurant run by a very talented couple who have a passion for sourcing, cooking and serving local food with complimentary presentation. The menu was imaginative, varied and catered for vegetarians - it really was a special treat. If you enjoy good food, cooked well then don’t hesitate in booking a table.

Absolutely stunning food please support this very talented young couple. So fabulous would highly recommend and so honoured to have such a wonderful place in Hartland xx

SOME GOOD & SOME REALLY BAD: Food was of a really high standard and very well presented. However, the restaurant was REALLY COLD and drafty, the fire wasn’t working properly so couldn’t be lit. It was so uncomfortably cold it spoiled the whole evening. They could have moved us to a different table which may have helped avoid the draft, but it still would have been too cold. The crab ravioli starter was really disappointing, it tasted fine but one piece for £14 is ridiculously overpriced. There was no bread available, don’t know why? The main courses were all excellent and so were the deserts. They did give us some complimentary leftover wine to apologise for the issues which was appreciated. However, for a relatively expensive experience it was very disappointing. We won’t be in a rush to return.

We had a fabulous evening meal at Pattard. The food was absolutely incredible! The presentation was perfect for sharing which was fab, as both the beef and duck were yummy! Fabulous service, beautiful restaurant, would happily give 10 stars.

This was our second visit to this out of the way, fine dining, resturant. We were originally recommended it by friends. We do eat out often, not regularly fine dinning though. About twice a year, finances allowing. The restaurant has exceptional wines apparently, I dont drink alcohol so cant really comment on the wines. The previous visit, the food had been exceptionally good, so we were excited to visit for a special Valentine's 6 course tasting menu, with a few added surprises, along the way..... On arrival we noted that they had crisp white tablecloths, this made an obvious improvement to the look, previous visit had no tablecloths. The table had a lovely wrapped red rose on it, beautifully presented menu, but the candle not lit. The food was beautifully presented, as it was previously, and for the main part absolutely delicious. The exception for me, was the duck. I appreciate that chefs like to serve duck rare, but this was so rare that I found it almost gelatinous. I did try to eat it, but eventually gave it to hubby. He did eat it (he will eat anything) but even he did commented on its texture..... I do realise that, that is our opinion, and alI subject to personal tastes. ( I do believe one customer requested something to be cooked a little more, but I'm not sure if it was the duck). We were a little dissappinted with the advertised 'little surprises, along the way' The only thing served, not on the menu, was a pallet cleansing Blackberry sorbet. It was delightful, but was the only surprise.......lastly, I would add that perhaps some of the tableware should be reviewed. Some plates seem to have a textured surface, which produces a terrible scraping sound, quite off putting. Minor criticisms, I know..... The restaurant has only been open since July 2023, and it is a very young couple cooking. The kitchen is open, so you can see them at work. They use locally sourced produce, which is a lovely concept. The service is really excellent too . Worth a visit for the experience of fine dinning, and if you like your wines, although, It is an expensive experience. I wish them every success, I'm sure that they will do brilliantly.

A rather austere barn of a room, probably because we visited on an out of season Thursday early evening and were the sole diners. Personable young owners - he an attentive but not obsequious front of house, and his partner an unsung genius in the kitchen. The food was beautifully cooked and presented; I've literally, in the truest sense of the word, had no better at top Michelin starred restaurants at triple or quadruple the price. Although it's certainly not cheap, the value for money cannot be underestimated; in the region of £90 for two courses for two people, including two large glasses of excellent wine. Difficult to locate, and the signage was confusing - at least to this septuagenarian - but definitely worth the effort. I cannot recommend this establishment too highly.

Family and I visited this wonderful restaurant as recommendation from our hosts while visiting over the festive period. Pattard is a beautifully styled restaurant focussed on local, seasonal produce and the execution of their food is of the highest standard. I tip my hat to the couple that run the restaurant… great front of house, exceptional cooking.. had the crab ravioli followed by the rump of beef..and was some of the best food I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating… the family had a truly wonderful evening. If you are ever in the Hartland Peninsula.. you absolutely MUST visit Pattard!

First time since New Chef, need not have worried. Excellent food and service and good price for the quality of food and surroundings,

Great restaurant with an inventive menu full of local produce. Catered well with dietary issues by offering very satisfactory alternatives. Service was excellent. Highly recommend

Excellent meal in a comfortable environment. Staff very helpful. Worth a visit. We will go again.difficult to find but you will not be disappointed

Pattards is what I would call a high end restaurant in the most unexpected of places. Although just outside of the small town of Hartland, the narrow lanes leading there make it feel otherworldly. The food really was fantastic. It was hard to choose what to have from the seasonal menu as each item sounded so good. We went for pork and duck as our mains and both were delicious. The desserts were also mouthwatering. We really wish the talented and friendly couple running Pattards every success. They deserve it.

Visited for Sunday lunch so had the chance to appreciate the fabulous roasts on offer. This restaurant really is tucked away out of sight, but most certainly not out of mind. Run by a young couple the atmosphere is friendly and informal and the food is simply excellent. The only downside for us was that the restaurant is not dog-friendly. I am sure that they would be friendly to dogs.... but they have decided not to admit them. A shame - but our fault for not having checked beforehand.

Fantastic food Scallops delicious Beef amazing Pudding’s delicious Couple running it were so friendly and welcoming

A lovely evening. The meal was excellent, the service very friendly and the ambiance very enjoyable. A well earned five star review.

Really great food, friendly and attentive service, nice atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend this little gem of a restaurant.

What a find! Amazing location, dining room so simple yet stylish, staff attentive and food DELICIOUS. Some of the best food we have eaten. Wished we lived nearer, we would be regulars! We wish you every success, you deserve it.

This restaurant is out of this world, just recently taken over by a young couple, we heard about this place and can say anyone who visits won’t be disappointed. The food was unbelievably amazing, I had a steak which was cooked to perfection and the pudding was to die for, the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and a great example of really fine dining at a reasonable price. Looking forward to a return visit when down that way again.

We have had the most amazing lunch here today. Great choices and the food itself was superb. We wish this young couple all the best with this venture and have already booked to go again. Can't wait. Thank you

Brilliant food from a newly started restaurant. Intimate dining with good quality food. Steak was a highlight, well cooked and so delicious. Really lovely to find a gem hidden away

My husband and I have just visited Pattards Restaurant! I don't think I have ever experienced such understated excellence! Every course was a culinary delight, delivered with seemingly effortless and seamless skill. Please support these talented young people.

Best Sunday lunch we have had for a long time so we booked for an evening meal later in the week. Exceeded expectations, well cooked, excellent presentation, it also tasted delicious. Well worth a visit

We decided to visit The Pattard as we were staying close by on a short break holiday and wanted to find somewhere for a Sunday lunch. Well, what a discovery. The Pattard has now overtaken The Moody Cow in Herefordshire as the best Sunday lunch we have ever had (away from home of course). The mains where substantial and extremely well cooked and presented. The Cobbler dessert equally delicious. What was a total surprise due to the quality of the food and service was that the small restaurant was being run by a young couple who had only taken it on a few weeks earlier. Bear this in mind when you see any reviews that are less than 5*, it obviously wasn’t them. Finally, although it shouldn’t be the be and end all if the food is good, was the value for money. You will be pretty hard pressed to find better food for their current prices £25 for two courses £29 for three. Think of that as £4 for a stunning cobbler dessert..amazing. So, you should definitely visit The Pattard a) for the food and b) to help a young couple brave enough to take the leap to provide that food.

We went there as a family and very much enjoyed the wonderful service and fantastic food and wine, in a really lovely part of the world.

Absolutely blow away!!!!! For a little restaurant in the middle of no way I can honestly say it’s the best food I’ve ever eaten. Top quality service and ran but the most fantastic young couple. The choice of wines (local) was amazing. They are both so knowledgeable and where able to tell me everything and anything I wanted to know. I had scotched egg to start which could have been a main meal. Followed by the most flavour-sum chicken I’ve ever eaten (really enjoyed the croquette that it was served with). I was at this point full but wasn’t leaving without trying their home made sorbet, which was out of this world! 5* and just wished I lived closer as would make this a monthly date night that’s for sure. Good luck to you both on your new journey to a very successful restaurant.

Outstanding food, lovely personal setting and an beautiful finale to our mini-moon as a newly married couple. Staff extremely attentive, meal delicious and sourced with local ingredients- truly an amazing restaurant to experience. Compliments to the chefs and managers - A*, every aspect !!!

An appealing menu hosted with a welcoming team. Top class delicious food. Would highly recommend for that special night out.

Friendly staff amazing location and delicious food. Will definitely go back for the brisket. Even family friendly we attended with our 10 week old

Taken over recently by young husband and wife in the kitchen and, mother working front of house, this secret gem in Devon is definitely worth a visit. We visited Saturday evening for dinner with family and had a wonderful time. Excellent food and friendly service...

Went for lunch today. What a little gem of a place. Food was just perfect. Lovely setting, great service. We are local & can’t wait to return.

Thanks for a fantastic dinner this evening - the food was exquisite with such a wide variety of flavours and textures. All beautifully presented and in such warm, friendly surroundings. Will certainly recommend to friends.

Visiting family and family member suggested here, first sitting of the day for table of 6. New owners only into their 2nd week. We had a really enjoyable lunch, Pork was outstanding, just needs some spirits on the drinks menu. Great setting and friendly atmosphere....

Outstanding restaurant!! Food was so delicious and the staff so friendly. Would definitely go again!

Very accommodating staff, even put a table out in the garden for us. Thoroughly enjoyed our ladies lunch, amazing food and dessert was to die for.

This is a great little restaurant. It’s a fine dining experience for sure for the quality it’s outstanding value. The husband and wife team that run it deserve great success. It’s a bit hidden away but worth the effort.

Delightful food and service. We ordered pork tenderloin and hake and we considered this to be the best restaurant meal we’ve had in a long time.

This little restaurant is a gem. Not knowing the area I actually called at one of the holiday cottages but the resident was lovely and guided us to the restaurant. Quite remote (we live in a town just outside Manchester) so really wonder how these...

I had booked a table at Pattard Resturant as a surprise for my husband's upcoming birthday. From the outset Felicity was very helpful when making the reservation and from the moment we arrived we knew we were going to have a very special evening. The...

Visited on a quiet weekend. Only bottled beer but good wine choice. Superb 3 courses & catered well for dietary requirements. A husband & wife team working really well - great service. Not cheap but good value for quality experience. Thoroughly recommend.

What a find! Food was incredible, I’m a vegetarian and it was sublime. The staff were attentive and very welcoming! Up there with our favourite meal ever. We will be back to Hartland just to visit them! Thank you for making our NYE such a...

We had an extremely delicious 3 course meal here recently. Everything was faultless. Excellent service. We will be back

We’d had dinner here a few years ago when we were on holiday nearby and, as we were in the area today, we decided to come back for Sunday lunch. We were so pleased we did. On a Sunday Pattards is obviously up against many...

Our meal at Pattards set our holiday off to the best start ever. The menu isn’t huge but the flavours are. The staff were both professional and friendly even advising us, as visitors, of some great walks which just added to our experience there. Thank...

Having had Sunday lunch and then an evening meal, this is a must go to place. Great local food and mainly locally sourced. Very helpful and friendly staff and some of the best food I’ve tasted in years and I’ve eaten globally for the last...

Ate here while staying in a nearby holiday cottage at Cheristow. Can recommend this place as something really special. Lovely small restaurant in a barn conversation. Nicely done with a relaxed but professional vibe. Food was a real treat, beautifully designed and presented and a...

We rarely eat out as often feel disappointed. But after much research, we came across this gem of a restaurant. We wanted somewhere special as it was mum in law's birthday. The whole experience was amazing , from the warm welcome, relaxing atmosphere and exquisite...

On holiday in North Devon and 10 minutes down the road (and country lanes) we had this restaurant. Read the reviews and almost all 5 stars. Ignored the poor review as it didn't sound like the reviewer knew what fine dining was and obviously hadn't...

Food was so good, we ordered meals two nights in a row and every meal we had, we were very happy with. My partner had the vegetarian meal and said it was one of his all time favourite vegetarian meals.

Went last night, and the place did not disappoint. We have eaten in many fine restaurants and ranks very high. I had grouse and monkfish, my husband had, pork and venison. Sadly to full for pudding. The flavour combinations wonderful. We will be back when...

What's a top-end restaurant like this doing 10 minutes walk from the lovely (but small) town of Hartland? The comfortable dining room, friendly staff and exceptional food at very reasonable prices make this a 'must visit' eatery for anyone in the area. Sunday Lunch is...

Excellent food and wine list. So wonderfully presented. Friendly helpful team. Chef is amazing. Celebtated my birthday here. Definitely check this place out.

No regrets booking this restaurant for a birthday meal. It more than exceeded our expectations and every course was beautifully conceived,cooked and presented. The chefs are certainly talented and the whole experience was memorable. Really, you must go there if you appreciate excellent food.

We came to the area on our Honeymoon and this was one of the restaurants we had booked. Unfortunately my wife was ill just before we were due to drive there. We arrived but the smell of the food( It smelt amazing) was a bit...

WOW,the food is delicious! The restaurant is beautifully decorated,and being able to the chef in action is great. I can’t wait to go back.

What a truly wonderful find. Just visiting Clovelly for the weekend, booked into Pattards for sunday lunch. The food was excellent, so delicious all created to such a high standard. Super friendly staff very helpful. We wish Arran and Felicity and their team all the...

We have tried a few farm restaurants, with mixed success. Pattard is located on a farm but there all similarity ends. This is an independent and really top class restaurant. It serves an imaginative range of food, superbly cooked and presented. On the night that...

Delicious and fresh worth trying Staff are so friendly Best Cornish restaurant yummy wide range of drinks.

Excellent standard of special food! Also the chef was able to create lovely food for my daughter who is coeliac, which makes a change!

We have now had the pleasure of eating at Pattard's three times and is always on agenda when we camp in Stoke Barton. The quality, presentation and taste of the food is amazing - equivalent of a Michelin starred restaurant - but minus the pomp...

We were celebrating Michael's birthday. The meal was exceptional, great choice, the service was excellent and I'll definitely return

Amazing food and beautiful place!! The food was absolutely outstanding, one of the best meals I've had. I had the Pork Loin to start, The Hake for the main course and the cheese board. Everything tasted wonderful and was so beautifully presented. The price was...

We had a wonderful meal here. Our starters and desserts were delicious but the star of the night was the monkfish main course which rivalled our michelin meal in Fowey! I didn't want it to end! Well done Aaron! Excellent service too! What a team!

Well, they certainly try here. But it is sadly not reflected in the food. Weird combos and a tad over-priced for what you actually receive! Two inelegant chunks of hard and under cooked leeks and mashed potato with Megrim 'Cornish' sole, a few measly raisins...

My first time at Pattered Restaurant and definitely not my last. It's a hidden gem down a narrow Devon lane. The service was efficient and friendly, and the food was Fantastic! Beautifully presented dishes were full of delicious flavours. I can't wait to go again.

If you can cope with the rather utilitarian interior in a small converted barn and no frills, absence of table cloths etc, usually expected at this level of fine dining and focus on the food and taste quality this is a really exceptional place to...

Had the most wonderful meal here this evening. Unsure if we could find the restaurant again as it is situated down a very long narrow road. However, I urge you to find it if you holidaying in North Devon. Small menu ,but everything superb ....

Really amazing food! Not cheap, but worth it for a special meal. COVID wise feels very safe but equally there is still a nice atmosphere to place. Also, I realised when we got home that I'd forgotten to leave a tip. Feel very embarrassed. Very...

We were lucky enough to hold our wedding reception at Pattard. Everything was amazing, from the service to the amazing food and wine. Everyone in the party commented how wonderful the food and venue was. I had the pork belly starter and lemon sole main...

This is one of those restaurants where everything looks great but isn’t. Everything looks great that is, apart from the portions, which were mean mean mean. Plus the fact that what vegetables I did have all tasted the same. My rack of lamb was 40%...

Visited Pattard as was saying in local area and it was recommended. Booking is a must as they get fully booked easily. Very friendly staff who are efficient without being too attentive. Liked the fact all spirits were locally produced not just Bombay and Smirnoff...

The restaurant still looks like it is in a barn on a farm, which it is. However inside the barn is a modern stylish restaurant with the kitchen clearly visible where you can see the chefs at work. The food was beautifully presented, portion size...

We had a terrific Sunday lunch here on our short break. Perfectly done roast beef with all the trimmings and the freshest of vegetables. All done in a fabulous farm setting in the Devon countryside. The restaurant itself is in a stylish barn conversion and...

Following reviews this restaurant did not disappoint. Excellent service, very tasty food and modern decor. The venison fillet was superb. Would visit again and again if it was in our locality.

Fantastic lunch! Delicious food and gorgeous staff. The perfect Sunday afternoon. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you

There have been changes since we last visited and we were not disappointed. The service was friendly and (apart from one timing hiccup) very good. The food was high quality and portion size very good. Venison fillet and lamb were both outstanding and the presenatation...

For people staying in the area this restaurant is a must. Superb food in a rural location, with lovely service. Not a cheap option but well worth the cost. Would highly recommend.

Pattard is open and wow! Tucked away on a farm just outside Hartland, professionally and courteously fronted by Felicity and with Aaron in the kitchen, this little restaurant is going to be a big hit. It is little - around 8 tables in total in...

Managed to secure a table for Sunday lunch. Great service and absolutely fantastic meal. If only all restaurants served the quality of food we were served. Thank you.

Lovely restaurant in a converted barn just north of the village of Hartland. The food was absolutely gorgeous- Lou had the hake and just kept saying ‘this is just sooo lovely’. When food tastes like this you eat it slowly! Service was great too with...

Had Sunday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Generous portions, plenty of veg and extra gravy! Nice selection of home made sweets to finish. All very Covid friendly with sanitiser available at entrance and on tables. Nice attentive service. Highly recommended!!

Delicious Sunday Roast. Perfectly prepared roast dinner, followed by a amazing dessert both of which were generous portions. We will definitely be returning.
