The Beaver Inn in Torridge

Ate here twice. Food is reasonably priced. However, no fish in the fish pie and I am 100% sure that our fish n chips came from the local chippy. No way was this cooked on site. Another meal had totally different chips served. And I definitely wouldn’t order from whatever chippy it was! Staff v nice, service good and some music we heard was absolutely fantastic. We would return but will be selective in what we order.

Visited twice in one week, the view from the restaurant is superb and we can’t fault the beer and cider absolutely superb. The second time we visited chose the special fron the menu which was fish pie, so very disappointing , no pieces of fish visible and apparently the fish pie is brought in as fish pie mix. The salad was great though So go for drinks . Wish we’d gone for fish and chips that looked as one would have expected at a sea side inn and much more reasonable

Lovely pub and dog friendly and the Sunday toast was amazing

It is an absolutely lovely roast with a very welcoming atmosphere.

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch at The Beaver. The roasts and pan fried sea bass were delicious, as were the brownies & clotted cream ice cream and the lemon posset, all of which were very reasonably priced. The atmosphere is welcoming & friendly & the service was excellent. We had a gorgeous view over the estuary from our table. Will definitely be back.

We met up with some friends on holiday, we had such a great time here. The live music is always great. Such a lovely atmosphere. I would definitely visit again.

Booked a table - lovely view - could have been warmer inside. Staff were lovely and polite. Food was good but childs burger had a kick to it so he wasn’t keen.

Wonderful homely pub. Superb food. Friendly staff and patrons.

Very busy, but very attentive staff, great food, good selection of drinks

I booked an early table to ensure we had eaten before the jazz started. We were shown to a table upstairs not far from where the band were to perform so assumed the jazz was for the diners and the people in the main body os the pub were secondary but would still get to enjoy the music. This was not true. The saxophonist was excellent but only turned round to us once in 2 hours. The drummer and bass player were sideways on but I wouldn’t have known he was playing an instrument as I only saw his back view. What’s wrong with turning sideways on so no one gets a constant back view, or change position after the break? The food was typical pub grub but tasty and generous portions a bit carb heavy. Fish pie and bread? Efficient and friendly waiting staff. A good night spoiled by poor staging.

Fantastic food and staff couldn't be more helpful

We absolutely love this place and visit every time we are on holiday. Although we usually just stop by for drinks, when on holiday in September we decided to have some lunch there and wow, we were not disappointed! Excellent food and fairly priced. The staff are so welcoming and it’s super dog friendly and while still having a great pub atmosphere, our 15 month old couldn’t have been more welcomed either. We can’t wait to return next year, thank you ☺️

Not much atmosphere only had a good view of the surrounding area which was nice!

Unwelcoming local, not keen on tourists.

Everything about the place was spot on. The food was absolutely amazing and well worth the visit. Returning tomorrow again.

Great food,,mussels For starter,,sea bass For main. Fantastic views From every table. In the restaurant im a local..so often eat here with friends or family For some hearty local food at a reasonable price.. oh dear I see i didn't post this last time. Just been back for more musells. And one of the best roast beef Sunday lunch that you will get locally.. Back again,, mussels still the best around

Ordered the fish pie tonight it looked lovely only 1 main problem the serious lack of fish....... When I commented on this having gone looking for said fish I was met with oh sorry we never saw the 2 waitresses again until we gave up asked for the bill and left not their usual high standards at all I'm afraid

Great lunch today presented by lovely staff, big thanks to Sam who works with a constant smile. Give this place a go if you're in the area.

Proper local pub with great beer, good food, and live music, including hosting the North Devon Jazz Club, usually the first Monday of the month.

Best fish and chips for a long time. Sat outside in the sun so lovely view over the estuary. Good value and very friendly service.

What a place! Fantastic location, excellent cocktails and some of the best vegan food in a pub I've ever had. Creative, reasonable and lovely service. Thank you

Good varied menu. Food was very presented and very tasty. All staff were attentive and the place had a nice atmosphere. Couldn't ask for more really!

Great value and friendly staff.

Bagged a last min table on a Sunday Marmalade Club night. Atmosphere great although rammed and no elbow room…as to be expected in a popular local pub. Service fantastic, bar staff quick to serve at a very busy bar, noting who was next in queue etc… sign of a well run bar ..…and especially considering how busy they were. Hats off to the waitress for not allowing general grifters to use the exit out of the restaurant to save themselves battling the crowds to get in and out for a puff! Music was great…. But we were struggling to enjoy it from our table. Food lovely, although by 9pm the roast was beyond its best (as would be expected) but surprised it was still being served that late in the day. Deffo recommend and will defo return ☺️

We actually went to another restaurant for food before coming here ( we decided to leave as small menu) I cannot tell you how glad we are we left. The food was AMAZING. This is a very traditional looking pub so my snobbery thought the meal I was going to get would be the same. I was SO Wrong. I had fish pie my hubby had fish from the special board daughter fish and chips. Every bite was incredible. The staff were lovely, views beautiful and drinks cold.. We will 100% be back..

Cute little pub with bags of character. Just popped in the escape the rain, but glad we did. We didn't eat, but saw someone having calamari on our way out and it looked and smelt amazing! Hope to visit again sometime.

very helpful in seating our family of ten! The pub/restaurant is old fashioned but nothing wrong with that. It was clean, airy,bright and overlooking the sea. All the staff we met were really nice and helpful. The food…I think between us we tried most of the menu, all excellent quality, well priced food. Favorites were the pork belly bites, the tagliatelle and the vegan ravioli. And what a change to actually receive piping hot food! The drinks were reasonable except the children’s orange juice @ £3.50 each we thought a bit steep. They could do with a children’s menu as the small plate menu was still a bit large for a 3yr old. Lovely atmosphere, very popular pub, definitely an Appledore must visit place.

A lovely pub with excellent food, particularly good for gluten free and lactose free options. Chef will adapt dishes - had the most beautiful fresh seabass. Highly recommended.

Fantastic staff and amazing food , really enjoyed our time here , Thankyou all at the beaver inn

Nice view good for an early pint on a rainy dsy..

Lovely friendly village pub with great views over the estuary. Good food and beer selection.

A class pub with a traditional way about it. We've been a few times to the Beaver and enjoyed the Quiz night which was great fun and very inclusive, we've also eaten there the food was terrific and service was good, all at reasonable prices. It's located by the waters edge and has outside seating, dogs are welcome in the bar but not the restaurant. Booking a table for food is a good idea during the busy periods as it's pretty popular.

We went in for a drink .we had a friendly greeting nice pub .

A great improvement since our last call Will be back!

Sharing fish platter! Wow! Excellent! Also Passion fruit Posset - such a zingy taste. Delicious...

I was staying in Instow, so got on the bus to go to Appledore, lovely little Town. If you walk through the main carpark, down a narrow Road, near the end you'll see The Beaver Inn. Unfortunately I arrived too late for Lunch, so sat outside with lovely views across the Estuary of the Rivers Taw & Torridge. Well worth a visit

Great pub for a beer with a view of the estuary

Just stopped for a drink. Great views across the estuary overlooking the lifeboat station etc.

A lovely out of the main street location with fantastic views over the Torridge and Taw estuary looking af Braunton Burrows. A relaxed outside seating area and a good pub atmosphere inside.

Always worth a visit, great staff, great food and great location

Great place right on the sea front. Fantastic puds..

Really lovely homely pub in a lovely location ,very nice staff, nice food & a fun little 9 hole crazy golf in garden ,definitely worth a visit ..

Only stopped for lunch, fish pie, was nice, not much fish though. Service was good and friendly. Great views of the harbour, Can't comment on the atmosphere as at mid day there were not many people. Would go there again though.

The best pub in Appledore. Well kept beer, friendly owners and locals, decent food. Thank you for being a great home from home for our week.

Dog friendly pub with excellent service and outstanding food..especially the onion rings delish..

Great views. Plentiful honest grub, Great spot and view. Not fussy. Recommend

Always a great atmosphere and good music

Friendly pub with restaurant right on the shoreline. Nice atmosphere great reasonably priced food. Sea views from both the restaurant and the patio. Probably the best sticky toffee pudding clotted ice cream combo I have ever had. The cheesecake is excellent too. Good selection of mains.

Amazing food and beautiful view. Staff were very pleasant and polite. Specials board was shown when we sat down and we were asked if everything was ok with our food. Little bonus was the live music. Great atmosphere all round

Stopped into the Beaver Inn on a visit to Appledore for some lunch, the Steak & Blue Cheese baguette was very nice didnt need to order the side of chips with it as the baguette coleslaw & salad was enough on its own for lunch but the chips were very nice, view from the resturant was nice and they also have a terrace for outdoor dining which i imagine would be amazing at sunset if you are in the area its worth the short walk from the main appledore eustary carpark or if staying in one of the nearby holiday lets.

Great food, lovely views and wonderful friendly atmosphere, wish we had time to come back again on our weekend away.

Lovely food, brilliant staff. Recommended.

Perfect pub. Myself, my boyfriend and son visited this pub a few times on our holiday last week. Has a lovely view of the water around the back in the outdoor seating area. My son loved watching all the waves. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. The pub has loads of activities for adults and kids. Board games, pool table, darts and crazy golf. Crazy golf is only £2 per a person. My 11 year old was asking to go back every day of the holiday to play on the pool table. Food is lovely. Was very pleasantly surprised with the food portion size. Only gutted that it’s not my local pub but will be back again when visiting appledore!

Went for dinner on quiz night, a pleasant distraction and made for a good pub atmosphere, enyoyed the food , fish pie was exceptional.

Went for a bite to eat at lunch time. Food was good fish pie, wings, fries and chips. Beer good too

Beautiful views and lovely atmosphere. Food was average but well priced so exactly what you need.

Friendly place. Clean and reasonably priced. Small outdoor area, great views. Dog friendly.

The Beaver is dam good! Friendly staff, delicious food, great views, live music and dog friendly to boot!

A good pub stopped her for a quick bite to eat . The staff were super friendly.

The atmosphere was second to none with a real buzz about the place and live music (shanty band) playing. The starters were unreal with the Manchego fries and the pork belly scratchings being a highlight. The main was a slight let down with the burger being a little dry for me and my wife but overall really good and would go again. In summer it has a lovely terrace overlooking the water.

Great place for food. Had a gluten free roast

We took refuge on a cold, rainy day at The Beaver Inn. What a delightful discovery. The food was delicious. We tried the soup of the day which was a roasted capsicum (full of flavor and served with a really good baguette). Then had fish pie (scrumptious) and finished with sticky toffee pudding (yum). Friendly pub. They showcase local produce.

Great staff, excellent food and beer all in front of an excellent view of the sea. You must book on weekends .

We visited three times during a recent stay in Appledore. The food, service and atmosphere are great and the view from the restaurant fantastic. Proper pub food done very well, and the St Valentines night dinner was exceptional.

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Will return!

This was the nicest pub we went to on our North Devon break. The staff were lovely, great vibe in the pub with a spectacular view too. The portions are maybe a little small but the food is affordable and the quality amazing. The vegetarian sausages are the best I've had.

Super place. Great food. Great service and a lovely view.

A warm welcome to this cosy pub, followed by an excellent value for money meal for all four of us. Lovely desserts followed by hot drinks and a cheerful farewell.

Great music from local souls ,laughter,lively,happy place.

Haven't had food for a while but atmosphere and beer is great. Great local pub.

Very friendly and helpful service. We had the fish chowder which was a bit bland and uninteresting.

Simply outstanding. Great little pub and restaurant with proper local atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food was first class. I’d normally take some photos but couldn’t stop once I’d started. Would DEFINITELY return and recommend.

We went here to see a local group perform. However despite getting there over an hour early it was standing room only and we were cramed in like sardines. I am sure the pub was oversubscribed. The entertainment though was brilliant and service at the bar was excellent. On regular day when table is available this would be a great place for a drink and a meal.

Visited over Christmas for drinks, It's always fantastic here, lots of atmosphere, friendly staff and good beers!

Excellent quality of food, with generous portions. We enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. We all pre booked a table for nine, as we had dogs, but there is also a ' no dogs' restaurant area overlooking the estuary. We left feeling very satisfied. I recommend the steak sandwich, steak and chips, pasta and burgers. Obviously not all at once. You can expect good portions. Enjoy!

Really nice meal for 4, very good food, good service and good selection of drinks. Thoroughly enjoyed it and we will be back

Such a lovely welcoming place. Friendly staff, friendly locals. The food was delicious, we will 100% return! (Also got to fuss 3 dogs in the bar which is always a bonus in my opinion!)

A really nice down to earth pub lovely food always plus the staff above and beyond just a lovely place to go.

Late Nov' 2023: Great pub out of season. Enjoyed a nice pint of Proper Job + Scampi & Chips, while enjoying the views from the restaurant over looking the Estuary.

What a brilliant find ! Where we intended to go was closed and thank goodness or we would not of found this place. Staff were very helpful, we took our nearly 96yr old dad with us who couldn't manage the steps very well so we sat in the Pool room which was fine. The food was delicious, we all had different meals and all enjoyed them very much. Thank you to the young man (Manager I think ) who was serving us nothing was too much trouble and the young girl who brought us our drinks and meals. We will definitely call in again

Well worth a visit great food and beer

Great views, good beer and food. Usually a great atmosphere

Beautiful place to stop for a beer and watch the sea nice beer nice atmosphere

Food was good, service was fantastic

Lovely pub hidden away on the river front. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. We sat in the restaurant area and had a fantastic view not just of the rivers meeting but all the way up to Exmoor and out to sea. All the food was awesome, freshly cooked and very tasty so much so that my 96 yr old father-in-law polished off all of his all day breakfast which was no mean feat 😁😁. We will certainly be back soon.

We went inelastic night,the food was great ,the service was brilliant,and the talent on the open mic night was incredible,the marmalade club guys were awesome 👌 highly recommend a visit.

Such a lovely traditional pub. Great food, great atmosphere, always a familiar face. Definitely recommend.

Visited here with my wife and our little dog. What an amazing experience, staff were exceptionally polite. Food was very good. They were amazing with our dog. Will be coming here next time we are in the area. And the fishermen’s talking about local fishing tales was amazing. Really enhanced the experience of visiting a pub in a fishing port.

A great pub, very friendly and good beer. Excellent food and dog friendly too. What more could you want?

Stopped here for lunch, Seafood chowder was great and the fish cake home made was exceptional along with the hand cut chips cooked to perfection. Nice choice of cask ales as well as a vast range of spirits to suit every taste.

Great friendly local pub always having plenty on on many evenings all year round. Lovely menu. Booking essential for a table in the restaurant area.

Lovely fresh cooked food. Best fish and chips I have tasted in ages.

Awesome pub.. great views.. totally recommend it..

Brilliant, attentive and friendly service. Delicious, reasonably priced food, large portions and good choice of drinks. Extra thought given as well for my wife's birthday meal for our small family, a lovely table in the snug, next to the large port hole window overlooking the estuary and birthday banners; with a lovely fridge magnet gifted at the end. 100% recommended, a lovely local pub!

The Sunday menu for baguettes states that it came with leaf and salad. On ordering I was told that this did not apply as it was a template from the weekday menu. I stated that the menu states that this is what it comes with. The bar staff were very unfriendly and at no point was an apology given. I even told them that it was very misleading and that they need to address it but was not even given a response, just blanked.

Great outdoor area for a drink, didn't have food but it looked decent.

Great food, huge portions, had to leave with a doggy bag. Very quiet Friday late lunch. Had our own private room.

Nice place, good view, but had no food that as after three pm

Really great live music. Fantastic service. Stunning food.

Went with a group of friends this evening. We were looked after extremely well..The Seadog Salad was amazing! So much fish! I'm dairy and gluten intolerant and was advised on choices..
