The best restaurants in Instow North Devon South West

Caroline has created a real gem. Very great and with a lot of love.

We have always had a wonderful experience staying here and this time matched up once again! Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and we always feel this is home-from-home 🙂 The food - amazing as usual - enjoyed while drinking in the fabulous views across to Appledore Cannot wait for our next visit at the end of the year.

Fabulous venue with fantastic food, a wide selection of gluten-free and vegan options. The service is welcoming, friendly and warm. My favourite place to eat in north Devon

Where to start with this gem of a place? My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at the Commodore Hotel, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. James and his team just can’t do enough for you. When we arrived in Instow our car key broke and he didn’t hesitate to assist us with fixing it - James went above and beyond, and we will be forever grateful!! The room was immaculate, elegantly decorated, and offered a breathtaking view of the beach, sea and beyond. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The on-site restaurant was a culinary delight, offering a wide range of delicious dishes, all perfectly prepared. The staff were attentive and made sure my stay was enjoyable. The location was ideal just set back from the promenade and the hotel has its own private parking which is a game changer for people looking to visit Instow. Overall, the Commodore Hotel provided an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and outstanding service. I will definitely be returning, thank you once again to James, Omer and the wonderful team at The Commodore Hotel.

Unfortunately we had an upsetting experience,I took two friends and my daughter with her guide dog .we were shown to the pet dog area I explained the law refusing access to guide dogs in areas that the public can go to but with no avail so we left it was my daughters Birthday treat .

Great location, all downhill from there. Corporate nightmare and narrow selection of ales

What a lovely proper pub. Great beer, good staff etc etc Can thoroughly recommend to one and all. Dog friendly too Rooms available also

Been visiting Instow for years , didn't eat in the Quay this time

We went on Sunday and had two of the catches of the day - both well cooked and presented. The service was friendly and could have been a little more efficient....We only got our cutlery and napkins after the food had been brought to the table. However, the place has a good atmosphere and we enjoyed our evening. We'd go again the next time we visit.

On a positive - good location and nice atmosphere in downstairs bar. Food was really mediocre and expensive relative to the quality- burgers less good than Spoons and twice the price, fish and chips average and fish cakes so poor that they weren't eaten- we raised this with the waitress who spoke to the chef who apparently said they were fine- I suppose food is very subjective. If you want decent food go somewhere better, if you want mediocre food go to Spoons.

brilliant service from Lois,good food hat was well presented with generous portion sizea. well worth the visit I was just annoyed I had no space left for desert

A high quality establishment with quality and coordinated decor matched by friendly and helpful staff. Family of 5 and dog were well accommodated for refreshments and cakes. Seriously nice coffee and delicious cake. Would definitely visit again :)
