The Seagate Hotel Appledore North Dev in Torridge

Had a lovely stay in a gorgeous sea view room in the annexe and got lost in the huge bed. Chris and the team were so welcoming, and the breakfast was delicious, with so much choice. Had a lovely dinner in the restaurant too and would definitely recommend.

Very good service, food ok, little overpriced but worth a try.

It was a Saturday eve, however the time taken to get the food was too long, an hour ! Then the steak was overdone despite asking for it to be medium . We did get it rectified and a free drink. It’s a great pub though and have been coming for years and so believe a one off!

Outdoor seating on the Quay, excellent food and drink, great service. Fun in the ☀️

The Sunday roast was a plate of overcooked meat and cold vegetables at a hefty price..substandard and not worth eating. Dog had 90 per cent of it..she loved it if any consolation to anyone??

Food was excellent, would definitely recommend

What a great atmosphere. Lovely vibes, wonderful food and amazing service. Big shout to Chris and Lucas. Good guys.

The food at The Seagate was absolutely amazing! We had the trio Sunday dinner, and after not eating since the morning, it really hit the spot — delicious, hearty, and exactly what we needed. Breakfast the next morning was just as impressive and really set us up perfectly for our day trip. I know I’ll be dreaming about this food tomorrow when I get home! A special thank you to Georgia for booking our table and being so accommodating when we were running a little late, and to Ruthie the landlady, who gave exceptional service and even brilliant advice on EV chargers for our journey. What a lovely experience overall — and they were so welcoming to our rather barky Jack Russell Terrier, which made it even more special. Highly recommend!

Excellent service from Tia and the team

Jason & Jamie are a fantastic team. We had a very enjoyable stay at the Seagate room was perfect! We ate there too having the very generous fish & chips wich was cooked perfectly, a nice touch being the three pots of garnish! The morning was started with another hearty full Devonshire breakfast which set us up for the day ahead. Well done team Seagate!!

The staff at the Seagate were very welcoming, friendly and attentive. We enjoyed a one night stay here while also attending a family birthday in the restaurant. We couldn't have been happier with our experience. Our rooms were superb with views over the estuary, the food was great, they catered well for our large gathering, the bar was well stocked, and the atmosphere in the pub was relaxed. Would recommend a visit to the Seagate and will be back. Thanks

Grown up family of septegenarians ate at The Seagate last night and it was excellent. Ashka and Jason were just terrific, friendly but most efficient. From the outside the hotel looks very ordinary and gives no indication of the warmth of atmosphere inside. Our food was great so was the wine, also well kept real ales. We were all very impressed and would highly recommend to everyone. Special thanks to Ashka and Jason. Dom Ingram and family.

Delicious food and friendly service even in a upper busy day

Chef Lucas’ seafood and fish platter was fab! Jason and Izzy looked after us really well.

It was disgusting I order the crab and prawn salad in the light bight section which had loads of rocket a few prawns and no crab ,and cost £13 my grandaughter had battered squid the batter was good but you had to get your magnifying glass to find squid ,my daughter had the mussels not bad but very gritty we won't be going again .

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

Stayed here & eat here v relaxing&comfortable lovely beautiful location

Rather disappointed with our visit, as on arrival (we had booked a table) to see the signs that the kitchen was closed for the evening. We were told, however, that in fact it was still open but would be closing after we had ordered. There we were told was then to be a wait of 20 to 30 minutes. After all that the food was was reasonable, although there were items on the menu that were not available. One meal, although a starter requested to be served as a main was delivered am long time before all other meals. Fortunately it was cold so it sat on the table until all other meals arrived some considerable time later. Overall everything seems somewhat disorganised, something perhaps to do with several staff were ill, but I will certainly be cautious about inviting friends to dinner at this location.

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.

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

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!!

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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%

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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 🥰

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 !

Had really good food and did a fun quiz afterwards

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Nice cozy pub in a great location.

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

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

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

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…
