The best restaurants in North Devon South West

My first experience with this Cafe, to be honest I didn't realize it was there as I was always focused on the neighbouring cafe but I'm glad that I gave it a try as I was well impressed, not only with the food and the service, I was really surprised as to how big it was with plenty of seating available inside and outside. The staff were really friendly and helpful so I would definitely recommend this Cafe.

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.

Lovely gem of a pub. Very dog friendly. Friendly owners/staff.

Terrific fish and chips and scampi. Wel worth the que

We popped by and had the most beautiful lemon and raspberry meringue and cinnamon buns EVER! iced coffee was a godsend in the heat also pup friendly and such reasonable pricing.

Food wasn't being served but always a good atmosphere.

Gladly again: very good location, great breakfast and uncomplicated and very friendly staff. Highly Recommended.

Went to the farm shop for the first time this year and purchased meat, cheese, bread etc for our self catering holiday in Woolacombe. Food was excellent and the staff, so friendly and helpful. It will be a first stop before getting to the apartment in Woolacombe in 2024. Cant recommend it enough.

Went today with a large group for new years day lunch. Brilliant food and very friendly staff, highly recommend! Thank you for a great meal.

Beautiful haddock cooked while we waited. Friendly and helpful staff. Five stars all round

They know how to run a chippy!!

We ate here twice last week whilst on holiday in Woolacombe. Food was excellent. We sampled six different meals from the menu. Everything was perfect, piping hot and served quickly. One night the chef hung on for us to arrive. Very accommodating and look forward to returning when visiting again.

Attentive staff and good food but with limited selection. Only 1x Plaice and 1x Lamb-shank. ☹️

We were a group of 6 friends visiting this wonderful pub in North Devon. Everything was perfect from the hosts and the cheerful and friendly staff to the superb food. My personal favourite was the pork tenderloin in a Stilton sauce served with scalloped potatoes and fresh vegetables - just to die for. There was a delicious selection of puddings too. I think I can safely say that we can’t wait for the next visit.

Popped in for an early evening drink, during a short break in Lynton. Seemed to be a popular place, and after a quick look at the food menu, we decided to stay for dinner. The portions are very generous and prices very reasonable. I couldn't actually finish my pizza (unusual for me!) but they were more than happy to box up what I couldn't eat, to take away. Good choice of beers, friendly staff and a great, relaxed atmosphere, hence 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
