The Seagate Hotel Appledore North Dev in Torridge

Had a lovely family meal at the Seagate and Tia who served us was fantastic. Very accommodating, great food and service. Thank you.

Fantastic service by Tia. She was friendly and extremely helpful, all with a smile. My first time here and will definitely be coming back!!!

Had a very pleasant meal here with good service from tia our waitress.been here many times always they look after us.will book again

Ate dinner here whilst staying in the area. Food and drink were very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The pub and restaurant were both very busy so service was a little slow, but staff took the trouble to apologise about this and to keep us up to date with our order's progress.

Love the atmosphere here. Stuffed my face with delicious grub (including the peppery ‘Pavs Pie’). Tia was our server and she was great. We wanted to adopt her. No, that’s a bit too creepy. But she was lovely - funny and attentive. Thanks Tia!!!!!!! We’ll be back again soon!!

We came here for a few pre dinners and were welcomed with a big smile. Friendly atmosphere, they’re dog friendly and the cocktails are delicious!

We were a family of 11 celebrating a weeks holiday at Easter. Kerris, our server, was extremely attentive. Our 6 year old grandson desperately wanted to have mussels but they weren’t on the menu. Kerris knew they would be on the menu the following day so asked the chef if he could do them as a special order. Our grandson was thrilled! All the meals were excellent and service very good. Thank you.

Great atmosphere by the water. Dogs love it and it’s always a good time

The most amazing roast dinner - roast beef was succulent and all side dishes including Yorkshire puddings were delicious. Anise was a fantastic server, very attentive and friendly and made for a great lunch!

Came in for an evening meal. The place was buzzing with plenty of friendly efficient staff. Our food came quickly, was delicious and very reasonably priced. Good selection of keg and draft beers. Would definitely come again when next visiting Appledore.

Came in for a Mother’s Day Sunday roast at the Seagate. Jamie’s service was impeccable, really looked after us! Will definitely be back again. Fingers crossed Jamie is there next time.

Great sevice and food on Mothers day , thank you.

I stayed during a work trip and being a female solo traveller I instantly felt welcomed and comfortable. The food is lovely, beautiful setting and friendly staff that were happy to have a chat. Highly recommend!

Nice pub very well presented with a well designed bar area Great bar staff Didn’t eat so can’t comment on the food

Lovely pub, good selection of food and excellent service. We visit whenever in the area and never had a bad experience.

Had a great evening, turned up a day early for our booking but the staff fitted us in despite being very busy. Food was great!

Great pub atmosphere Delicious food Good selection of beverages including non alcoholic ones.

Great food my steak was cooked perfectly🤩.The service was excellent ,thanks Jason. Nice cosy atmosphere.

One of the best Sunday roasts I've had. Great food, excellent service in an incredibly beautiful setting.

Had breakfast yesterday which was really lovely. Very attentive staff and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back. Thank you

All very nice, good service and lovely food.

Pleasant and warm hostelry. Attentive staff serving nice beer and cider. Dog friendly. Can't speak to the food but it looked good if a bit London pricey, but that's apparently appledore post pandemic.

The best Sunday roast we've ever had and we've been out for lots. This is the second time we've visited and the atmosphere is so nice too. The waitress was so attentive. No negatives all all. Just superb. Thank you.

Food was excellent, the plates were enormous, we practically needed rolling out of the pub afterwards. We were looked after by Kerris, who was absolutely wonderful. She looked after our party of 11 very diligently. She was especially lovely to the young children among us, explaining the food and bringing them colouring-in stuff. Above and beyond service.

We also stayed at the Seagate hotel as well as having lunch great place to stay Kerris served us and was super helpful and thank you, we will be back 100%

Good food. Quick service. And warm comfortable seating Tom and Ashka were very helpful

Absolutely fantastic Roast and very well looked after by Jason. Do not eat breakfast beforehand!! We enjoyed every bit of the Sharing Roast 😋 Excellent value.

Really great service from Jamie, served us as soon as we got in at our table. Very attentive and friendly.

Went for a family lunch after a beach walk, fish pie was yum and service from Jason was spot on. Very homey and welcoming atmosphere x

Great community pub, excellent Friday vibes. Came for lunch with the family, pav’s famous pie is definitely a winner and Jason looked after us all brilliantly.

Lovely atmosphere, really great food and service. Special thanks to Jason for being so accommodating with our table and dietary requirements. Definitely recommend a visit!

A comfortable, spacious place with good food and pleasant, unobtrusive service.

Had a brilliant meal at the Seagate on Sunday, thank you to Lucus and all the chefs and kitchen staff it was banging. Also a big shout out to the front of house staff, Ashka, Jason, Kerris & all the team you looked after us so well. What a fabulous team you all are.

Burns nite,amazing authentic Scottish food,haggis and black pudding,game pie with the most meat you can ever get in a tasty pie,top marks to the chefs,the pippers added to the nite and were a great touch, staff brilliant and attentive,well done to all for a great nite and well done to the management also

We had a wonderful time at the Seagate on Burns night. The food was wonderful. The bagpipes were excellent and s wonderful touch. Our waitress Kerris was amazing. So attentive and helpful

Cosy place, nice decor, friendly staff. Little pricey but I guess that’s not unusual these days.

Great service, and a great team

Been here a handful of times now. The food is fantastic and the staff are lovely and accommodating.

Had another fantastic time at The Seagate pub, in Appledore Thank you to especially Ruthie, Fish, Cris & all the staff…you all worked very very hard over the new year! 🥳. The food was amazing…..well done to all the chefs who were involved Looking forward to seeing you all again in September, if not before

Stated two nights, and enjoyed dinner and breakfast too. Lovely cosy pub, very good food, breakfast in particular was plentiful and varied. Our room was spotless with lovely touches like luxurious toiletries, huge fluffy towels, tea and proper coffee-making kit, homemade biscuits and fresh milk. Staff were universally friendly, efficient and helpful. Recommend highly for a visit to North Devon.

Wonderful Christmas dinner. Ruthie and the team were fantastic and created a lovely atmosphere.

We had Xmas dinner here. First time we’ve ever eaten out on Christmas Day. It was amazing. Michelle was brilliant and the whole place had such a great vibe to it. Michelle - thanks for making it feel like we were at a friends for Christmas dinner. Thanks to all the team too. The food was great.

We were made to feel very welcome with the friendly service. Our Sunday roasts were delicious; generous helpings, great range of sides and spectacular Yorkshire puddings. The traditional style of the pub makes for a lovely atmosphere and it was looking very festive. Overall an excellent lunch experience!

Another lovely visit to this gem of a place. As always the staff were welcoming, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us (and our dog). The whole place was super festive, food delicious (dinner and breakfast) and our room was warm and cosy with a gorgeous view of the quay and Instow. We’ll be back very soon 🥰

Ashka is such a lovely member of staff in the seagate , great at her job and very approachable

Fantastic food and brilliant atmosphere created by Michelle and Will! Thank you so much! So good we will be back next week!

Really enjoyed this Birthday meal for my husband - which was actually the Christmas Party Menu! Lovely food, friendly service and gorgeous cosy (and festive) atmosphere!

Lovely cosy setting and hearty food expertly cooked by Lucas. Can't wait to take the rest of the family along to try out more of the menu choices.

We love the Seagate but above all the service is always first class and welcoming. Especially Michelle Fisher who goes above and beyond to make us and our doggies welcome !

Came down for the quiz and it was amazing, Jamie was a hilarious host, really recommend the quiz on Sundays

Had really good food and did a fun quiz afterwards

Lovely food! Great menu choices all very seasonal and the pub itself is beautiful. Michelle was brilliant and very friendly.

Warm, cozy pub. Food very much the gastro pub experience and was excellent.

We’ve stayed and eaten at the Seagate before, but this is was our first stay since the new Manager arrived and it’s safe to say that the Seagate team is still on top form! Excellent food and such a warm welcome. A special shout out to Michelle who seems to know everyone who walks through the door and made us feel so welcome once again! Feeling relaxed and recharged now after a lovely couple of nights in beautiful Appledore.

Popped in for a hot coffee on a chilly November afternoon , log fire roaring , great welcoming atmosphere , dogs very welcome.

Fire Protection Systems arranged their Xmas Dinner tonight at the Seagate. Michelle the Seagate host and her staff were excellent, always helpful , we could not wish for more. The food from Chef Lucas was perfect Christmas Fayre. Thank you. Highly recommend

Normally love The Seagate but the staff were so inattentive today as they just wanted to chat to each other! Never offered extra drinks or desserts so we gave up and left!

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch. Great meat options. The ladies had the Butternut Squash Wellington and said it was the best veggie option they’d ever had. Our server, Jason was very attentive and humorous. A fantastic dining experience.

Fabulous dinner with friends. Lots of options for all of our party's dietary needs and all delicious! The team were lovely throughout our stay, Jamie was especially helpful and always friendly - thank you!

A real gem, Tom Made us feel so welcome straight away - really Great food, amazing service and a really cosy hotel. We are coming back in January 2025 with our friends Thankyou The Seagate. Really nice surprise find

We came to the seagate for breakfast, it was a nice sunny morning so we decided to sit outside. The atmosphere was superb and the staff was amazing. I would like to thank Matt for cooking An amzming breakfast! Definitely one of the best I have had in a long time. Would highly recommend. Thank Martyn

We booked the upstairs room at The Seagate for a 50th wedding anniversary celebration. They were very accommodating, letting us book the whole room and decorate it how we wanted. We were a party of 30 people, and everyone was looked after really well. The service was very friendly and the food was very good. We were particularly impressed by the cheerful and patient help we got at the end sorting out the rather complicated way we wanted to split up the bill. The room was lovely and had a good atmosphere. Everyone had a great time. Thank you 🙏

Great views Calves liver was overdone - but rectified quickly Jason the waiter was overworked but coped brilliantly

First rate, marvellous engaging staff and a great chef.

Lovely dinner with excellent service. Great location.

Great pub…. The staff like Michelle were funny and approachable, it really made our day.

Very cozy atmosphere, delicious food, friendly and attentive service, good wine, what more could you ask for? We had a very good evening. Thank you ☺️

An Unforgettable Birthday Celebration! We just celebrated my boyfriend’s 30th here, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. This place is hands-down our favourite spot, and it never disappoints! We pre-ordered our food, but the menu had changed to a more seasonal, winter vibe (which was a lovely surprise), and although it was super busy, the food and service were impeccable. Our server, Ashka, was an absolute star, keeping the energy up and making us feel well looked after, even with a packed house! A few menu items were unavailable by the time we ordered, but the team went above and beyond to make up for it. They even surprised us with a sharing platter that was absolutely delicious — mussels, lamb bites, olives, crackers — everything was top-notch! Special shoutout to the chef, Lucas, who I used to work with in another location; his talent shines through in every dish. From starters to mains, each plate was perfection, and everyone was raving about their food. And when it was time for the cake I’d brought, they presented it with so much thought and effort, really making it feel special. The night wouldn’t have been complete without my boyfriend’s dad, who kept us all entertained with his "mushroom obsession" and endless jokes. All in all, it was a night full of laughs, amazing food, and wonderful service. If you’re looking for a warm, welcoming spot with incredible food and a team that genuinely cares about making your night special, this is it! Thank you, Lucas and Ashka, for an unforgettable evening.

The main problem was the very limited menu on offer. This was not explained to us until after we started our drinks. There were 5 main dishes not available. We ended up with our 3 rd or 4th choices. On arrival the greeting was half hearted and we were on a table next to a large very loud gathering

Had a lovely stay, staff very helpful and welcoming. Very good food, especially the Ham Hock and an excellent cooked 'Devon Full' breakfast. The pub is also friendly and idea for a relaxing drink and chat. Must mention one menber of staff 'Ruthie' who really went above and beyond. I left an item in the room when when we checked out and Lucy made sure it was returned to me, thank you very much and excellent service. Would happily recommend this establishment and look forward to stay there again in the not too distant future.

We quite liked the idea of using a book to indicate that a table was booked, not seen that before… what a good idea. It also holds down the menu, a menu that has seen a lot of customers before you. In the sense that they really need to print a few new ones. Picking it up was the start of our ‘oh God, what now?’ experience. Dogs slobbering over the table next door and lying in the way so you can’t get out. Music blaring away while you eat. If you like this sort of ‘atmosphere’ the Seagate is the place for you. If you like an uninspiring menu where most of the starters/nibbles are ‘unavailable today’ then the Seagate is the place for you. (There must have been more than twenty people eating and tables still had books on them for later bookings… why had nobody gone shopping, we weren’t unexpected.) If you don’t like a place where the chef puts on a few specials to supplement the menu regulars then the Seagate is the place for you. If you’re the sort of person who is content to wait more than twenty minutes for the kitchen to throw together a salad with no dressing then the Seagate is the place for you. The staff are nice though.

Our server, Anise, provided great service throughout the night to our whole group allowing us to enjoy a nice evening.

Such huge improvements in the food here and service excellent too. W both had the hin of beef with root vegetables. Even better than Mama makes it. Outstanding, anda generous portion too for £9 Wheelchair accessible, lovely clean toilets, own car park. Highly recommended

Great food and beer in a brilliant location!!!

Great Sunday lunch and speciality burger. Very friendly. Sunday night Halloween quiz lots of fun

I had a delicious dinner with some bespoke additions. The staff were friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is friendly and enables a good conversation to be had.

Jamie was so helpful booking us a corner table in dog friendly area. Anise was lovely front of house, looking after us. Food was really good with a great choice. The hot salad was fab and the ham hock and chips was huge

Wanted to wake up with a sea view on a special day. Great, very cheerful staff team! No, not just normal cheerful service, these guys, especially Michelle and the barman seem to be made of hospitality, even in the middle of a wedding party! Thank You. Paul and Dawn.

It got a bit busy, but our waiters were amazing Jamie and Jason were super helpful and answered all our questions, and stayed cool and calm under pressure, the food was amazing all the staff are super helpful and friendly, will definitely eat here again

Nice cozy pub in a great location.

Lovely cosy, warm pub. Great service. The chicken escalope was out of this world. Two big fillets and just tasted so good.

Lovely pub and great view onto the estuary. Perfect location when the sun is out and nice and cosy inside when it isn't.

Excellent as ever, our regular lunch venue when we have visitors. The beer battered haddock is the best around, lovely crispy batter, and my wife’s hake fillet was also beautifully cooked. We’ll be back…

I loved it, just loved it and will return - luckily it's local!

5 of us dined . Really lovely atmosphere and very busy . Food delicious and looked beautiful, service of all staff was excellent and extremely efficient ! !

Excellent food and service. Thank you.

Fantastic quality, chunky pub with great food. Definitely the best pub in Appledore I have eaten here twice in the last three years and not been disappointed either time. The only reason I didn’t give it a score of five was because we asked for an additional drink that didn’t come and even when we alerted the barman, he forgot again. I think they were rushed off their feet and could have done with an extra staff member. Not the end of the world I would still definitely come here again. This time, my friend and I had the crab and smoked bacon chowder. It was delicious.

Pros: really nice restaurant, lovely welcome by the friendly staff. Cons: Food average ant best and overcooked. I had the nut roast wellington which was dry. My husband loves pork crackling but it was burnt to a crisp and he wouldn’t eat it through fear of a visit to the dentist!

Very disappointing. Insufficient staff and those who were there were not well trained it seemed , although pleasant and the manager seemed very young and inexperienced. We had to call for everything as waiting staff were not scanning the room. Roast beef was excellent but belly pork was over cooked and rubbery and crackling burnt and inedible. The vegetables were uninspiring and lukewarm warm at best and the cauliflower cheese we ordered was forgotten and of course no one to ask! I put 3 eggs in my Yorkshire puddings so why the fuss over 2? We waited at least 40 minutes for our food to be delivered and many people around us waited longer. Some people were indiscriminately moved to another table and when then forgotten so had to go to bar to pay and order. We got our dessert menus and did not let waitress go until we had ordered, fearing we would never see her again initially we thought we my return here for an evening meal but obviously we did not and went to the Royal George instead which was excellent! My husband felt sorry for the waitress and left a tip but I would not have done as there was no service! Oh dear!

Appledoors classy gastro pub ..and hotel..offers great food and drinks

Wonderful meal, the good was delicious, service was very good, Michelle was great.

A fabulous hotel and public house situated on the seafront in the old port town of Appledore. Five minutes drive from Bideford. Mouth watering menu, something for everyone including vegetarian options. Inside you will find a plush and cosy, split level dining area and bar with plenty of seating and two fireplaces. Good selection of real ales, beers, wines and spirits. Plenty of seating outside the front and rear. Excellent friendly efficient service at the bar, a big shout out to the two bartenders on duty, Jamie and Tom who made our visit memorable. We'll definitely lunch here again. Leaded dogs welcome and a menu available for them too! Highly recommend.

Michelle and the team are awesome as ever. Food as good as ever. The service was fast and efficient with lots of smiling faces .

Lovely food but very dark, would have appreciated some light on the table!

Wasn't impressed with the service or waiting nearly an hour for our meal to come out with no apology either and no communication throughout our waiting . It was busy but not manic .Food was average.not nearly as nice as when I came with friends last year .won't return

Pleasant pub environment, food OK but bread board was a little lack lustre and bread very dry.

Warm and welcoming with great attentive service and the food was really worth the visit.

Family dinner. Great and although busy service was great

Great staff as always the Seagate has a great atmosphere been before first time on a Sunday for the Sunday menu .the vegetables were great but the beef and chicken not great

Popped in for lunch, really friendly staff. Food was served quickly and pretty good tbh. Will return next time I'm down that way!!
