The Cabin in Torridge

A return visit to Memories, and we were so pleased to find it as wonderful as we remember. Naomi is perfect as ‘front of house’ and Brett’s culinary skills are inspiring. Amazing value, and amazing food. We can’t wait to visit again

We booked Sherry and her team to cater for our parents funeral in April 2025. They provided their catering service at a separate venue to the Old Farm House tea rooms… and catered for 200 people. After booking their service we visited the tea rooms and discussed what food we would like included in the buffet. They were happy to cater for our requests, and some of my parents old favourites were made and placed amongst the buffet. The food and presentation were wonderful, we had lots of comments from people attending about the quality of the food, with several people saying it was the best buffet they had tasted….. From a personal point of view Sherry was excellent and we did not need to worry about anything on the day or the lead up to it. Thank you so much for being part of the wonderful send off for our parents.

Had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Mill Street Brasserie! The food was amazing—beautifully cooked, full of flavor, and presented to perfection. The choice of drinks was equally impressive, catering to all tastes. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making us feel welcome from start to finish. Highly recommend this gem in Bideford—can't wait to visit again!

We popped into this pub as searching for a house in the area. The pub is closed at lunch times but as there were cars in the car park, we thought perhaps it was open. It turned out there was a private function. Despite the fact we could not have food, I'm leaving such a high review as the landlord fell over backwards too make us feel so welcome, he even offered us a cup of tea, despite having a very large party to cater for. What a lovely man! The food smelt delicious and inside the pub was lovely and welcoming. Definitely will be coming back one day.

We booked a last-minute dinner at the Royal George for 12 people (with just a couple of hours’ notice!) and were absolutely blown away by the experience. We’re on holiday in Appledore and this evening was easily a highlight of our trip. The team couldn’t have been more accommodating – they gave us a private room, which made it feel extra special. Service was exceptional from the moment we arrived. We were never left waiting for anything – drinks flowed, food came out promptly, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. The food? Incredible. The burgers were terrific, the steaks were melt-in-the-mouth tender, the mussels were fresh and full of flavour, and the fish curry was perfectly spiced and absolutely beautiful. They even went above and beyond by sending us home with a takeaway portion of the chef’s crumble of the day for a family member who couldn’t make it. Such a thoughtful touch. And yes, our dog Barney was welcomed too – which made the whole evening feel even more inclusive and relaxed. We left full, happy, and very grateful. The Royal George is an absolute gem. Highly recommend!
