Red Post Inn in Torridge

Brilliant customer service, really friendly bar staff and great food. Decorated for Halloween which was a hit with the kids.

Just got back from having a lovely last evening meal of our week’s holidays and it’s such a pity we only went once.. All the food was freshly cooked and delicious. The service was fantastic and so friendly. Dogs are allowed and they even give dog biscuits. Will definitely go back when in the area.

We went here whilst staying at a local caravan park. The staff were very friendly. The home cooked food was lovely and a great portion size..in addition to the lovely chilled wine.The exterior appearance doesn't reflect the great food and service. We would definitely recommend 👌

We called here for an early dinner on a Wednesday evening and were presently surprised at the service and the lovely food. There's a large car park at the rear so no need to try and squeeze in at the front like most. We both ordered the Chicken curry with half rice and chips. (I just copied me Partner). It came with nan bread and the portions were large and neither of us could squeeze in a desert after. The ladies serving here are lovely welcoming people and were ever so friendly. The restaurant has a cosy feel to it and it was that nice we decided to try and return two days later. I called and booked a table for 6pm as it does get busy on a Friday night. As it was early there were only 3 other tables and again it was a very enjoyable meal. We ordered the lasagne each and I ordered a separate plate of chips. Which was more than plenty to share as again the portions were big.(The lasagne was tastier than the chicken curry). Desert followed and I had the Waffle with Nutella and ice cream and my partner ordered the chocolate brownie with cream, both lovely with a very tasty cup of coffee. No room for anything else.... But what a lovely homely meal. We will return next year for some tasty food. 10/10

Friendly staff ordered food and drinks,could not fault the food or the service would definitely recommend and visit again when in the area.

We come here every year and they never disappoint in terms of food and service, they go above and beyond for your own personal preferences. They are ever so kind, helpful, personable and friendly no matter what time of day or how busy they are. Will continue to come back here for as long as we possibly can. Thankyou all who work here

Popped in to this pub with a group of friends after being out and caught in heavy rain. We must have looked rather bedraggled but we were made very welcome by all the staff even after putting our dripping coats and hats all over chairs and pushing tables together so we could all sit together we were made to feel so at home by the landlord and lady who were so accommodating to us. Absolutely great friendly old style pub. Just wish we lived closer.

The service was okay, a bit of a long wait (almost half an hour after ordering) which was difficult because we had young children with us. The staff were friendly. The food wasn't amazing and the chef really likes to use coarsely ground black pepper which was all over the the roast potatoes and mixed in with the cabbage and swede and carrot mash. I really don't like black pepper and neither do our grandchildren. The meal was totally ruined! I did politely suggest to the waitress that she may want to mention this to the chef etc. I just got a "sorry about that" Our bill was over £100 and personally I would have offered some sort of discount to reflect out experience. Sadly we will never be going again.

Great value for money Sunday Roast. Tasty, well-cooked meat, crispy roasties and plenty of gravy. Some of the vegetables were strange selection, but plenty of them, so not complaining. Very friendly staff.

Stopped here purely because we needed somewhere to eat whilst out and about, and very glad that we did. Very pleasant and friendly staff. Excellent Sunday lunch. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

Great food and great service from mags and Jess food one of the best 5 star must try the burgers top chef

Lovely meal in a really nice pub - made to feel really welcome - meal was great quality and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience - will be back again if in the area

Staying in the area and decided to come here for dinner. Welcomed by friendly staff to both us humans and dogs! Dog biscuits brought to the table while we waited for our food. One of us had the chicken curry half and half (rice and chips) and the other burger with bacon and cheese. Both were very generous portions (which was good as we’d walked miles and were hungry!) and really tasty. Both of us were beaten by the portions which made the dogs happy as they got some burger too! Will deffo call in again when in the area.

We had a takeaway Sunday roast - dogs are allowed but we chose to eat at our lodge. Super size portions and all freshly cooked, sadly black pepper added to nearly all the veg so I couldn’t eat most of it. Would definitely go there again but be more aware of ordering to avoid the black pepper. Lovely, lovely people though very welcoming and the restaurant looked great, cosy and warm, looking forward to our next visit.

Dropped in for dinner, dogs very welcome, nicely laid out tables, chatty staff, good menu, freshly cooked tasty food. Didn't see any smugglers. 🤣🤣

PROS. Very friendly and welcoming. The food in the restaurant was excellent . We had a choice of where to camp and the toilets were very clean. CONS. The takeaway meals were very expensive. Would go again.

This is a very great place for eating, very dog friendly and the service and the staff are excellent

We are holidaying and staying locally and we were recommended The red post inn for dinner on our first night and that we should book a “pod” which we did. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and as we had the dog with us...

Having had a really good sunda y roast the other week. We decided to try an evening meal and it was an absolutely lovely meal. Staff very friendly and a homely astmosphere.

Dropped in 5/10/2019 for lunch, fantastic, had butternut squash and chicken soup for starter, salmon and ratatouille for main, could not fault it, soup was delicious and the salmon was perfectly cooked, my partner had lasagne, very generous portion, he was very pleased as he loves his food, the lady that served us, was very welcoming and friendly, would highly recommend, thank you Red Post, for a lovely lunch

The battered fish was not fresh but must have been deep frozen from the taste and texture , frozen chips not hand cut.

Great facilities, wonderful food and a well stocked bar. Owners, staff and local we're very welcoming and really looked after us.

So to bring to an end a lovely 17 day stay in Bude thought we would treat ourselves to a roast dinner before our journey home. Their website is showing completely wrong opening times but they offered to fit us in just after Sunday lunch times was closed. Which at the time we appreciated. So the establishment is not modern but is clean and tidy and was greeted by the polite and helpful bar lady. We ordered our dinners and drinks. Then our 2 adults 1 child dinners arrived!!! Absolutely covered in Ratatouille not only do we hate this tomato based meal as a family it’s completely wrong on a roast beef & pork roast dinner. This stuff was all over the meat on to the potatoes and in the gravy. It’s a complete meal in its own served with pasta?? Surely. I was close to tears as my partner hates this my child hates this and I hate it. 3 dinners ruined so I politely asked for a plate to attempt to scrap it off, using tissues to clean the plates. The proper vegetables arrived in a separate fish to help yourself. My child never really touched her dinner. She ate the crispy frozen yorkshire pud. I struggled to get the tomato taste off my food even asked for brown sauce. Sadly it was such a disappointment to an end to a lovely holiday. Lots of full plates left on the table and then paid for it which upset me. I did mention it to the bar lady who was very sympathetic and offered to pass on my comments that ratatouille does not belong all over a Sunday roast The photo is what we attempted to remove from our plates but it was to late it was over everything. I would say go here for a meal just be aware if you don’t want this speak up as you get no choice.

Went here twice while on holiday really enjoyed it There was 7 of us and 3 dogs all made to feel welcome Food is typical pub food but very good We all had different dishes and thoroughly enjoyed them all Would recommend I’d advise to book as does get busy early evening

Just spent a week at this site and its excellent value for the price we paid. £130 for a week in summer holidays.PositivesNice quiet siteFriendly staffShowers hot and have a tap so run along as you want them toTakeaway food good, didnt eat in but would imagine it would be the same.On a bus routeHuge grass pitch with plenty of electric *only 3 suitable for tentsNegativesCant park by pitch (I understand why as ground very soft)Toilets full of spiders - I know its camping but I know lots of sites with toilets with no spidersNo recycling facilitiesLack of hand soap in gents toilets

Really nice pub, dogs allowed in the bar area. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. The staff were great and went the extra mile and you were made to feel at home.

Six friends came here for a Sunday carvery. Glad we had booked because it was packed. The meat on offer was pork, beef and Turkey. Everything was really good except the roasties which were a bit hard. We would all come back except the current tenants leaving the next day and until new tenants take over... it is closed.

Went here for Sunday lunch, the carvery is very good, the restaurant can be crowded on a Sunday, you need to book.

You will find yourself doing 60mph as you pass this pub. What ashame that is as you will never experience this little gem.

We visited Bude to see our son and he recommended the Red post for there Carvery. What a great choice fantastic carvery well worth the visit.

We had two evenings here one was a Sunday carvery (AMAZING) I’m vegetarian and had the nut roast, which was fresh, tasty and nutty.

Very disappointed with take away fish and chips . Would drive into Bude or go to Whitstone instead .

Cracking friendly pub with absolutely delicious food. People come from afar for their car very and we can see why. Best I’ve tasted for a long time. Home cooked with wonderful gravy and stuffing. It is only a small inn with lots of history at a crossroads where a hanging post once stood. The car very is fantastic considering it’s not one of these big chain pubs. The choice is not as big but who needs big choice if quality is outstanding. Plenty of veg and roasted potatoes which is constantly refilled. Their Cornish cream teas are excellent too and Admirals fish pie!

We popped the in here for some food and had fish and chips - which was really good and fresh, and a burger, which I am told was also really good.

Good food at the right price, this is important service quick, food hot, and plenty of parking.Staff very helpful and friendly, dinning area very clean and comfortable to sit.

Flying visiting to see close friends, were ravenous and heard good things about the carvery they have on a Sunday. Everything booked in fine. The food was good other than dry meat and burnt Yorkshire pudding (that was just mine) but consistency is key.

Should have been having lunch in Bude but were very running late. Never been into the Red Post Inn before but were pleasantly surprised. As it was so late they just had the afternoon menu on which was quite limited in choice but I had the fish and chips which were very good and the rest of our party enjoyed their food as well. They do takeaways and two people came to collect theirs while we were there.The place was spotless and I would highly recommend the chips! One slight downside was there was no real ale on when we visited but the bottled beer wasn't bad.

went to red post inn for a evening meal great welcome I had there home made sausages and mash with the best gravy I tasted and the bangers where as good the wife had a 10 oz steak with all the trimings will go there all the time as we have caravan near by on a camp site

Our neighbours had booked a table for the 4 of us to go to the Wednesday night Chinese buffet night.

Their cod fish with chips is out of this world, light,fluffy & extremely delicious it would even give Gordon Ramsay a run for his money it was that good.

We hadn't reserved a table as we were going for an early evening meal.

One of the best carvery’s that I have eaten. Meat was so well cooked, not dry, melts in your mouth. Veg selection also really good. Comes in 3 different sizes. Also called one night in the week, the home made pie was superb. Would recommend.

Popped in having noticed it had changed hands. Like the new layout. Friendly staff and good food. Will be going back.

My second review of The Red Post Inn which is going from strength to strength in popularity. Having visited a few times since my last review I cannot fault the carvery which is delicious. My reason for a slight downgrade is they seem to be overbooking tables in their success! Tables are cramped together and there didn't seem to be the time to clean prior to cutlery being placed for the next diners, as evident on our table! I hope standards do not drop on what is a friendly restaurant with a nice atmosphere in its infancy!

This is a first rate place to eat,great food,great service and staff are wonderful.The food is cooked to order to a very high standard.Will be returning again and again.

Nine of us went for Sunday cavery. You can chose from 3 plate sizes. There was 3 choices of meat and selection of vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. The

Popped in here for a roast tea and was pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff with a great atmosphere great Carvery and a great selection of sweets. Will definitely be back.

We recently stopped at the camp site at The Red Post Inn and really enjoyed the time there. The pub is nice and had different themed nights on with food for the theme.

Large portions, standard pub menu but very tasty - we had lasagne, gammon, burger and mixed grill and were v disappointed we didn't have space for pudding (sticky toffee!!).

You best be hungry! We ordered the lasagne, pie and steak. All really large portions and homemade. Would fully recommend, very tasty food.

The Red Post has been a focus for locals for many years and has recently been refurbished under new management....

We stayed in Bridgerule and had fish and chips from the takeaway then had 2 meals also in the weekend....

On my way back from the rebel cinema with my brother in-law, nephews and son I saw my other brother...

Visiting the red post today for a family roast, we weren't disappointed, although we had visited with the children before,...

Very disappointed with our carvery couple of Weeks back. Meat dry and roast potatoes not nice at all, bit greasy....

Called up to ask if they were still serving Sunday roast for them to say they usually stop serving at...

Very disappointed with frozen chips with my meal. I'm sure when I visited the restaurant last (about 3 months ago)...

Our first visit to The Red Post Inn under new ownership. The staff are friendly & welcoming. The carvery served on Wednesday & Sunday was very good with a choice of 3 meats & an excellent selection of vegetables. A choice of small, med or large is offered at varied prices - medium was ample! Regarding the heating issue on a previous visitors post the heating is now installed & the Inn was pleasantly warm.We will be returning soon to sample their new menu. Being local it is good to have an eatery like the Red Post Inn on our doorstep. My only criticism would be to advertise the establishment as with previous owners we never knew if it was open or closed .

Having been disappointed with what used to be our usual place for Sunday lunch, we thought we would give 'Redpost' a go, We had been there before, but this was the first time since a change in Management

went to the Red Post for Sunday lunch and decided to have the Carvery. Some of us were meat eaters and there was a vegetarian. The food was excellent, it is not easy to cook and serve vegetables that are to be left out on a Carvery, but the vegetables that we had we exceptional. The apple pie was home made and very good. We asked for peppermint tea or decaf coffee but these were not available, however we were told this would be available in the future. The owners of the restaurant were new, they had only purchase the restaurant a few days before our visit. Staff were friendly and attentive.

We were looking for a Sunday carvery on our way home from Cornwall along A39 and had all bar given up hope when we came upon The Red Post Inn. The reviews seemed okay and at 3.30pm they still offered a carvery so we gave it ago.As we entered we got a warm welcome from the girl behind the bar and were told to sit where we liked. The place was basic but clean and the girl behind the bar continued to be attentive, making conversation over our journey etc. The carvery was reasonably priced and I was a little wary that so late in the sitting whether the meat was going to be dry. All the veg was home prepared and I had a mix of meats which were tasty and tender. The homemade stuffing was fab and there were some great flavours going on. I'm so glad we came across this pub and I wouldn't hesitate to call in again.

On our recent holiday we passed Red Post on numerous occasions without a thought of popping in for a meal, but on, almost the last day, we decided to just pop in and see what was on offer. We were not disappointed in any way shape or form, the food was delicious and the service first class. We will have no problem going back there the next time we are in the area.

Only went in for a bag of take away chips. Had to wait nearly 30 mins and people got served before me even though they came in after me. Chips were unedible

We went here after reading the reviews, and for the carvery. I had the large one and it was huge, if you had a Toby car very and thought there good this one is way better. The best roast I've ever had, you wont be disappointed the whole dinner was to die for and staff were very welcoming and friendly

We stayed nearby and was told that this pub did take away fish and chips. Not sure what to expect we decided to try some. We phoned and ordered and they were ready for collection at the time specified. We did not expect too much but was pleasantly surprised. Nice home made chips and freshly battered fish. Reasonable price too.We were told by our host that they also do take away Sunday Lunches. This we have never heard of but if we are staying in the area again on a self catering basis we will try it.

We stayed in the caravan park behind the Red Post Inn, so popped in each night, sometimes for dinner other times just dessert or a drink, the staff were very helpful, and even the night we got there at 8.50 pm when, the food stopped at 9 they were still smiling. We did not try the carvery as we were too late arriving on the Sunday and we ate out on the Wednesday, but it looked good and the restaurant was full on the Wednesday, with people coming who seemed to be regulars. The fish and chips were good, brownies very good. Out of all the meals we had there only one was not good and that was the chilli beef, very tough, not nice at all. The breakfast was very good, excellent, only it was after 12pm

We ended up eating here late one evening during our holiday by default as everywhere else in the vicinity either stops doing food at 8pm or is now an indian takeaway (Google Maps seriously needs updating!) We had already driven past a few times as remarked how nice and brightly lit up it looks from the pretty lights on the outside in the evening. The young blond girl who waited our table was lovely, very chatty and friendly, she is an asset to the pub! The decor is a bit tired but the place is clean and the food was really good!

Good selection of home made food and situated 5 minutes drive from Bude, would recommend to others, we particularly enjoyed the carvery and as a Yorkshireman have to admit the Yorkshire puddings were as good as any I have had up here.

Good food, great value for money. Excellent service. We stopped at this restaurant for a bite to eat and something to drink. Lovely place to eat.

Fantastic food, best carvery we've had! Friendly staff and great service. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again.

I recommend this place to our guests as being somewhere reasonable to eat especially if they have children . Feedback has been ok , so I thought we would have a takeaway and try it out when our family came to stay. So , the food was ok, in fact the fish and chips were probably better than most in Bude.But and a big but , customer service was non existent .I popped in to get a menu so I could call later with my order , no one was about so I stood and waited and waited to ask for a menu . Staff walked past me and I just got ignored . Eventually whilst reading all the usual pub signs I found a beer glass with one paper menu in so I took it and walked out still having not spoken to anyone.After phoning my order , we went to collect and again got ignored and waited and waited then at last someone notices us and takes the payment , there was no indication given of how long we should now expect to wait for the food . She just took the money and no further conversation !Finally our food was given to us after a good 10 minutes plus wait . So in a nutshell food was quite nice but service awful, I felt invisible all the time I was there . I want to recommend this place still , but the service will need to improve to get the recognition it deserved for the food .

Had a lovely time at the red post Inn excellent food excellent service and lovely atmosphere really friendly staff will certainly be recommending to friends and family and will definitely be returning.

We've been a number of times to this place & this year is the best yet! Proper home cooked food, piping hot & service to match. We have a son that is a very fussy eater & they totally catered for him which really gave us piece of mind. I loved the idea that you could even take away the carvery offered on Wednesday's just "bring your own plate". Brilliant for anyone camping in the local area. Thanks again Red Post Inn

I cannot fault our cream tea,it was very good,service,value etc however walking into the red post inn was like walking into a funeral.....there were about 10 customers including us and no one spoke including the chap who saw us when we entered.The place felt really soulless and felt like staff had no enthusiasm....there is also a touring park at the rear.....okay but please cheer up....it aint that bad!!

Having lived just a mile or so away from Red Post for the last 17 years we've not used it regularly, this will change since eating there at the weekend!Great, friendly service right from the minute we walked in the door. We had booked a table for 4 and were told to choose where we'd prefer to eat. Good choice of real ale (Doom Bar or Tribute) and cider (Thatchers Gold or Haze) and a really good menu. Not overpriced. Extensive specials board too.We all had starters, 3 of us had their mushrooms in a stilton sauce (which was heaven on a plate) and the other had the soup, which again looked excellent. Our only 'issue' with the mushrooms was the portion was a bit small or did we just want more?!?!?! We all had different main courses from the mixed grill, chicken curry, rump steak and belly pork. I had the belly pork with a cider and cream sauce and it was one of the best meals I've had locally in a very long time. Two had puddings, ice cream and treacle tart which my other half said was lovely with plenty of clotted cream.All in all it was a fantastic meal with excellent service. You really couldn't ask for more and we will definitely be back very soon. In fact the home cut chips were so good we called in on Sunday for a couple of portions for a chippy tea!!!

Just had the most amazing tempura prawns this evening . Fabulous service and great food ! Highly recommended

On arrival promptly seated, staff very busy but made time to ensure we were settled. We came towards the end of service and the food was still of good quality albeit the gravy was salty and took away the edge of a good meal. That said did enjoy our meal and will certainly return

Excellent Sunday carvery had by both, would highly recommend, all staff pleasant and helpful will go there again.

We've driven past so many times and this place used to look forlorn, but today we stopped because we heard that new people have taken over. As we approached the door a couple coming out said the food was great - they'd had John's fish & chips - delicious! And excellent value. Lovely warm welcome. This is clearly a family enterprise with heart. We'll be back to work our way through the specials menu!

Came with a friend as a stop off on the way home and really enjoyed it! Carvery was well prepared and tasted nice. Staff were really friendly and made you feel welcome.Would recommend

I loved this place. Proper pub grub choices and the food was really nice. The mushrooms in Stilton sauce was amazing. Reasonable prices, friendly staff and the seats were comfortable!!

We thought we would give the Red Post Inn a go for a Sunday carvery. They were very busy which was a good thing as we had heard the carvery was popular. Orderd some drinks from the bar and was shown to our reserved table. Lined up at the carvery and there was plenty of choice, I opted for all the meats turkey, lamb and beef with yorkshires, lots of different veg to choose from and a good selection of sauces. Meats were lovely and tender and the veg done nicely. Good selection of deserts and all good value. Plenty of parking outback if front car park is full.

Hungry and saw this at the junction so popped in with fingers crossed. Nice and friendly place with a few customers eating. There is a camp site behind so was surprised the food is fresh and home made. The menu is your normal bar food with a few specials on the board. We went for the lasagne, with chips and salad. Food was good and decently priced. Nice place to find on this route as they appear few and far apart.

I've passed the Red Post Inn many times and only been in once but after tonight I will definitely be back. Ideal for pub food on the trip from Launceston to Bude. I had the best steak I've had for ages and my partner had Johns famous fish and chips. Rod caught cod with homemade chips, lovely. It's amazing what new owners can do for a place. Lovely food, good service in lovely clean surroundings. Will decibitely be back

Great food and very polite staff. The carvery is good value for money and very tasty. I would recommend this place highly.

We stopped here on the way back from a long coastal walk in bude. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with the friendliest welcome from the barmaid, we come from London so not used to that!!!! She was welcoming, chatty and an absolute pleasure.Really excellent customer service, food menu looked great and good value for money although we didn't get the chance to sample it, we will certainly go back for a longer visit!!!

The Red Post Inn has a campsite to the rear, discretely hidden from view if you just want the Inn. This review is of both the Inn and the campsite as I stayed for a long weekend, camping in tents with a group of friends in the campsite, and we used the Inn for food / drink (and a bit of shelter too !). Campsite is compact and well maintained. Excellent shower / toilet block - clean and spacious. Pitches had water and hook-ups, although we didn't use this as we were under canvass. Children's Play area with climbing frame and grass mowed - perfect for me. The Inn was a lifesaver as we arrived later in the day and in the midst of a downpour whilst trying to get our tents up. The Landlord set up a fire for us to warm our bones, quickly followed by fish and chips and a glass of beer. Just what we needed. The Inn and the campsite are family owned by Paul & Tracey, who care about people and their experiences there. They have great plans for the future and I wish them all the best !

We came for a Sunday carvery on my husbands birthday and couldn't fault the visit one bit!Staff were all welcoming and friendly, chef is a lovely bit of eye candy ;)We was served drinks very quick and food was hot! Lots of choice of veg to go along side 3 different meats. Yorkshires were lovely and definitely all home made! Very good prices for quality of food and will 100% be back again very soon! By far the best roast I've had out! Yum yum yum

we booked a table for 2pm was shown to our table very swiftly and got drinks carvery was awesome hot and plenty of choice meal was succulent and tasty.we will definitely go back again.
