The Thatched Inn in Torridge

We did not book,but got a coverd table in the garden,had carvery,got a ticket from bar after paying,did not have to wait very long,A good selection, the mustard leeks is a must all tasted good,but was not very hot,shame.parking is not easy when busy,staff were all freindly@polite,would definitely trie again.

Great experience from start to finish. The staff were fantastic, the food was great, the menu was amazing, especially for my vegan friend, lots of choice. Our waiter was Carlos and he was knowledgeable about the menu and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We had mushroom pies and treacle tart. Highly recommend this place!

Great pub and staff but the food! We had 2 fish pies, which were served in an A5 sized dish. The fish and sauce part was approximately 6mm thick with a 9mm thickness of mash! Not enough to cover a large prawn! Overall weight of about 0.236g. Price for 2- £24.00 Morrison's fish pie 0.700g, over 3 times the weight with proper ingredients and taste - £6.50, designed for 2 Come on chef that's not really a good offering?

Really lovely pub in a beautiful setting, outdoor seating is also covered and staff are very attentive, food is lovely too

This pub is a good place to go!! Excellent beer (Doom Bar on tap - say no more!!!) friendly staff and customers....fair prices...shall return..

Beautiful pub with fabulous outdoor and indoor space. Dog friendly and the staff were super friendly! Had the loaded Fries with steak and could not fault them..steak cooked perfect for us and just melted in the mouth. We will be taking full advantage of this place on our doorstep for the next week 😀.

Really friendly staff, great atmosphere, fabulous food.

Had a really nice evening the other night. The Gent behind the bar and the young lady serving our food were absolutely brilliant. Partner and I had a great night. Food was brilliant. Will be heading back very soon

We found this place on a rainy day while on hols in Woolacombe. We visited after a morning at Affinity shopping mall. Unsure what to expect, pub very traditional “ oldy worldy “ but the food…. WOW! All 6 of us had something different, and all 6 of us had amazing food and finished our plates!!! Stunning food, very reasonable prices and very dog friendly. A big recommendation from us!!

A lovely pub with a brilliant atmosphere. The people working were super friendly and the food was delicious. Thank you 😊👍

Genuinely one of the best burgers i’ve had ever, I had the rock salt and black pepper burger which was absolutely insane and my partner had the pulled brisket burger which again was absolutely incredible, we also had the new york strip loaded fried with pink peppercorn sauce which was sooooo good, staff were lovely and the pub itself is very nice, the outdoor covered seating is lovely with heaters in each booth for you to turn on. I wish this was my local pub I would come back any day!!!

The kerb appeal was non existant, with vehicles hiding the front, and entrance, it looked like it was due a skip arrival. We didn't stay any longer.

Visited this pub to meet up with our friend. Very friendly staff and food very tasty. Highly recommended

Great traditional pub.very friendly. great landlord and staff.

Absolutely first class. Delicious Sunday lunch and fantastic customer service.

A great little find, ideal when we are in North Devon.

My partner and I stumbled across this pub and thought it looks nice with outhouse where people can eat too! My partner went and got our drinks and ordered our food we both wanted pie! Message came bk only 1 pie left so my partner ordered scampi and chips!!! He paid in full then came message no pie left so what did I want??? I agreed scampi same as him!!!! Firstly pie was more expensive no money bk was offered!!!! Then my scampi tasted awful so fishy and tartare sauce was not fresh!!!! I felt ill after 2 scampi so keft whole of dinner that night couldn't keep off loo and shivering! Chips were frozen amd had twang to them too! Was soooooooo gutted I'm not a complainer but would never go there again! Awful place

Whilst the food was very good, I would not recommend this venue. The barman was rude and dismissive and we were not checked on after our food was served. Even the staff member clearing our table lacked the ability to interact pleasantly. They have clearly spent a lot of money on the venue and accommodating guests, it’s just a shame that the staff do not represent it in the same way.

Delicious food and fast service. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Can't wait to come back

Sunday lunch carvery, lovely rare roast beef, great selwction of vegetables which were cooked perfectly.

We had Sunday lunch here. Food was delicious. Bar staff were very friendly. We couldn't book as they were already full, but they said they keep some tables for walk-ins. We just managed to squeeze in! The nut roast was good as were the veggies and roasties. My husband enjoyed his roast turkey and pork. Thoroughly recommend! 😋

A lovely old pub selling modern British pub grub. Shame that you don’t get table service outside (you can inside?) as I had to leave my meal to order drinks and the bar was pretty busy. Meat was slightly dry in the carvery and the stuffing was… but there was a good choice of well cooked veg with excellent potatoes and Yorkshire puddings.

Stopped for lunch on way home and a cracking burger and chips staff friendly and helpful. Well done

Good service and good food plus very nice pub in quiet area.

Truly scrumptious!. Polite service, massive plate from the carvery with tender beef and a huge variety of veg. Have the peanut butter stack for pudding and you probably won’t need to eat for a week.

+ This must be one of the best pubs we've ever visited. Staff is super relaxed, portions are huge, very reasonably priced and everything is served quickly. You can park on the street and there is a lovely indoor and outdoor seating area. The toilets are exceptionally clean and modern. I wish we lived closer as we would be regulars. Highly recommended!

Lovely pub with great outdoor are and fantastic food.

Ate here 3 nights on the bounce. Food was really enjoyable & equally as important & what makes a good pub into a great pub was the service. First class. I highly recommend this beautifully presented, friendly pub

Food expensive and disappointing. We had ploughman's, I have no idea what the special saricha slaw was but it wasn't pleasant. Sweaty small triangle of cheese wouldn't call it mature, small just bigger than buffet pork pie, and a small piece of ham fatty but tasty. Best part was the baguette!. Overpiced not good value, or quality. Disappointing bar staff were great and lovely beer garden. Cooked food much cheaper in comparison and looked better.

Great food, awesome atmosphere, and would highly recommend

Lovely staff. With so many rooms in this pub I feel like I need to go again to properly explore!

I want to give them 6 stars for service, Carlos served us and he was engaging and so polite. The Sunday lunch is outstanding, so book early and the peanut butter stack pudding was ace, a must have. This is one of our top 3 pubs in Devon.

We had a lovely time here good food and service nice staff

Definitely be back food is beautiful

Great food, service and atmosphere, well done team Thatched.

Had the steak sirloin baguette. The beef was very tender and delicious. The staff is very friendly and the area is beautiful to sit in. We aren't from Bideford but we will definitely come back to the Thatched Inn anytime we are in town or passing by!

Freindly, great food, great pricing, great atmosphere!!

Took friends here tonight for their first time, was very impressed. Food was excellent and our waitér this evening, Carlos was very attentive and great fun. Absolutely love this place and will certainly be back. 10 star plus experience.

All 5 🌟 Yes Food amazing, we had the most tasty burgers ever considering I am 50 years old, ohh and the puddings are not to be missed.

Fantastic food.. so full of flavour. 8 of us all had something different. Curries were best I've had. Worth a visit. Gem of a place.

Last minute booking. Hosts welcoming. Carlos was a friendly chap and knowledgeable about menu. Food was really good and reasonably priced. Atmosphere was nice. Definitely would recommend but book as I noticed all tables were reserved. Hopefully will return sometime as not far from where we live

Looking for a traditional pub with a great outdoor seating space (ideal for dogs), you can’t go wrong with this place. Good food menu choice and always prompt quick service. Highly recommended.

Fantastic pub great food great service good selection of drinks,best pub around the area

Well what can I say we have dined here twice this week one for a midday lunch and one for a Sunday carvery both excellent would definitely recommend if in the area

It’s been years since I last visited - it’s still somewhere I’d recommend It is sensible to book because it is good quality and good value and popular We were early and able to get a table in the bar with our dog. Dogs can only be outside or in the bar.

Good food with varied seating areas but small bar and no views

Lovely Sunday lunch, with great atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend booking, although they did squeeze us in at the last minute.

1st the place is soo beautiful its like a attraction point and the food was so delicious and the portion of the food is amazing

Nice food but took ages to be seated when we arrived despite booking. One member of staff behind bar was not very polite hence the 3 stars but the gentleman who took our orders at the table was super attentive. I would probably go elsewhere if we return though.

Went for sunday lunch. Absolutely fantastic place to visit. From the minute you walk through the door the wonderful experience begins.. staff so friendly and can't do enought for you.. after deciding what to have for sunday lunch my husband and I went up to get the carvery being disabled is always a chore for my as I usual have to have my hubby helping but a waiter called Carlos took hold of my plate and the food I wanted on to it and then took it to our table. Food was wonderful and staff were all so friendly..Carlos went out of his way to make us feel welcomed. We will be back before we leave to go home. Keep on doing what you are doing it wonderful. Pity I could not rate you more then a 5. Yours Lynne & Bry Clarke

Absolutely loved this pub! Wonderful design with outside seating, lovely booths, colourful, dog friendly. Gorgeous country pub! Staff so friendly and efficient. Our three dogs felt very welcome. Thank you very much! The food looked awesome

The best pub in the local area. Great food, staff and atmosphere

Fabulous pub. Lovely staff. The way that the outside area has been designed is genius. Booths that can seat 6(at a squeeze) all undercover with a beautiful wisteria growing across. Staff were very friendly and jovial as well as efficient. We had the foot long hot dog, which was amazing, and i thoroughly recommend it. If/when I'm in the area again, I will be stopping in.

Lovely thatched pub, great beer garden and lots of seating in different areas inside, food is amazing (the seafood linguine is so tasty)!

Great food and service but parking limited

We stopped here early in the evening for a quick drink and dinner. The pub looked to be busy with locals and visitors alike which is a good sign. We sat outside as it was a lovely day. The place was clean; we were served promptly and politely. The drinks were typical with a selection of beer and lager on draught. The food was very good with a surprising selection available. Typical costs for a main was about £16 but there was plenty on the plates. There are plenty of seating options outside; benches or table and chairs, with or without cover, out the front or down the side of the pub. Absolutely worth visiting.

Tasty well prepared food reasonably priced wine

Lovely pub / restaurant. We sat outside with a dog in the sunshine. The pub has spent a lot of money & has outside pods where you can eat if you dont want the restaurant. Great food the black pepper burger was my choice, but the menu was extensive. The staff were friendly, polite, and a good sense of humour . Would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely setting outside, fantastic meal, great drinks and very friendly service, best of all dog friendly and our starved lab wanted to help with the amazing food on offer 😉

Very unwelcoming, we didn’t stay to eat as we were made to feel so unwelcome. I’m sure if you are a local it’s ok

Great place for a Sunday Roast. Good quality, reasonable prices and generous portions. A favourite

A little charming pub, the food was excellent with generous portions! They guy that served us was awesome to! My little boy wanted different vegetables with his meal and it was absolutely no problem for them!

First time after The Thatched Inn and definitely not the last. Service was really great, our waiter was very happy which sounds crazy but it really made a difference and made us feel very welcome. The food was outstanding, the fish and chips were the best I have had in a pub, crispy batter and lovely flaky cod, delicious. My husband had all day brunch and not only looked fabulous but also tasted pretty good. Kids food got a big thumbs up from very fussy eater. Can't wait to go back.

Went to the thatch and ordered the "loaded fries" which we have had many times before. This time when the food came out the portion was much smaller than usual, there was lots less pulled pork and the chips have been changed to small and soggy ones. When I complained the waitress said it's because they have changed their menu and that's what it's like now. So we paid the same price as usual but received a very poor meal in return, very disappointed as we spent £40 in total but a couple of people had to eat more at home afterwards.

This was the third year so very disappointed that the standard was not so good as previous visits (6-8). Twice the same special was unavailable but still shown on the board even though we came about 5pm. Moreover food ordered was mixed up and substituted with another order without my knowledge. The disabled toilet was out of order and there were only 2 ladies toilets available and when the front door was opened as my wife couldn’t open the door herself as she had a walker and I could see straight into the ladies toilet. There is usually 2 doors to prevent this situation. I spoke to the manager but he not accept criticism of the waiter’s performance. I cancelled a third planned visit.

Amazing food atmosphere and friendly

A rare 5 star from me. Staff were amazingly flexible and friendly. Food was excellent. The pub has various rooms and outdoor space which should be able to please everyone. Locals were friendly and helpful. Good beer. Congratulations to the whole team which looked after our spur of the moment visit with 10 adults, 2 kids and 3 babies.

6 friends on holiday. We had lovely tasty food and good value. We had excellent friendly service too, and assistance as I have mobility issues. We recommend this Inn

Les and his staff have made a wonderful place to visit.

The staff greeted us with a friendly welcome. Very efficient service with drinks at the bar. Shown to our dinning table in the window with a great view. The roast beef brisket lunch was superb with all the trimmings. Followed with a wonderful apple crumble with custard. Wonderful local & wouldn’t hesitate to recommend all round experience.

Visited here with my husband tonight whilst on a staycation locally. Booked a table at last minute and the staff were very accommodating. The food was absolutely gorgeous. My husband had the fish and chips which was the best he had for years! Great service and reasonably priced too. Hope to visit again before heading home!

Quality food, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. You do pay for it though!

Family birthday lunch for the Birthday girl. Good food and service

Very kind staff lovely food highly recommend

Such a lovely place!!! Beef lasagna & vegetarian burger were perfect! The staff were so nice! Definitely recommend.

Great country pub! Good food and dining’

Visited today whilst staying in Parkham. The pub looked lovely and the outside dog friendly seating was perfect (as well as being undercover)! The food was amazing and such a great menu choice! Will definitely be visiting when we are in the area again 😊

Fantastic food, and a cracking pint!

What a lovely pub. Visited it with family who live in the village. We ate in the restaurant inside. Food was fab. I had fish and chips and husband scampi. It was lovely Staff were really nice. In the summer this would be fab as it has a lovely outdoor area too. Deserts were great. Loved the Dry rose wine too.

Nice food and a nice old style pub.

Table number 69 is amazing for outside dining. Great venue for friends and their dogs eating outside. Food fabulous 🌻

Went for a meal to celebrate our daughter's birthday. The staff were wonderful and even brought our daughter a candle in her dessert and sang happy birthday. It was a really lovely touch, thank you.

Absolutely fantastic food. Fabulous service and ambience. We have Holiday lets and always recommend Tye Thacthed Inn to our guests. The feedback is always fantastic.

Brilliant food, service and atmosphere on a Monday night.

Lovely lunch out with the family. Staff were super friendly and great with the kids. I'm not a fan of eating a roast out but the carvery was really good. Only downside was the lack of parking.

Our new local....Great atmosphere...food and wine is fantastic. Love spending time here.....xxx

We as a family had Sunday lunch 17th Feb, and I ordered the vegan option due to having a dairy intolerance. I was told the roast option was a nut roast, but when I collected my lunch the nut roast was a thin piece of rice that looked as if it had just been fried off and there was no sign of any nuts or any other vegetables in it. It was bland and tasteless. The gravy was just a gluppy blob that had no either they did me a few vegetables separately which were OK. I would not recommend the vegan option it definitely was not worth it.

Only visited for a drink as it was on the route of a recomnended coastal walk that looped past it. Pub looked nice and has a great selection of drinks. Experience let down by a less than friendly bar man. When will establishments learn that more often than not its the people and not necessarily the venue that mskes for a pleasant experience.

Hungry so just followed the brown sign. One of the best Sunday carveries I've had for a long time. AND reasonably priced! Highly recommended.

We booked out the whole back room as a group of 28 after a lovely coastal walk from Westward Ho! and had an amazing roast! Such good value for money and really attentive staff, would definitely pop in again if nearby :-) Lots of different sitting areas and cozy spots for all times of the year.

Husband and myself called in for a carvery each. Omg what a carvery - the best we have had for ages. Huge Yorkies, tender meat and colourful selection of vegetables. Staff lovely and were very welcoming. We will be back when in the area again.

Good food and hospitality here at the wake of a family member. Staff very attentive and courteous at all times.

Love it here! Was our local when we lived in Devon, we now always go back when we visit & the atmosphere/proper pub vibe/food is still top notch! Definitely recommend 👌 💓

Food was nice, we spend 100 for 2 people. In my opinion too expensive . One cola and JT 16,00 pounds.

Found this pub by accident and what a find, beautiful pub with great food and service,we will definitely be going back.

Lovely friendly pub/restaurant, serves good pub grub.

Came for my Mums birthday meal. The team working here we're fantastic. An absolute credit to the business. Carlos, one of our servers, was very attentive and had a great attitude which created a great atmosphere in the restaurant. Fantastic outside space. A lovely place, great food and fab staff! Thanks for a great meal!

Visited the Thatched Inn with a couple of friends on way home from Clovelly, staff were friendly, amicable and welcoming. We did not have any food as we had already eaten, however looked at the menu, which was enticing. Would recommend a visit if your in the area.

Carlos made this a fantastic Birthday treat for my Dad fantastic service and food would highly recommend a visit

Lovely food and great venue. Been several times and never had a bad meal. Staff really helpful and good balance between over attentive and leaving you too long
