The best restaurants in Appledore Torridge South West

Fair priced tasty food with good service. 2024 update. Just indifferent food and the whole place lacks in atmosphere. 2025 Update - You would honestly think with a restuarant named the "Flame Factory," a steak would be superb. They were not, with a thin sad looking piece of meat containing at least 20% of stringy ineadible fat. Not pleasent and honestly not good enough.

Friendly cafe. Nice food & cortados!

Lovely cafe, we stopped off in appledore and found this little cafe that served a lovely BLT sandwich and soup. The bread was amazing quality and the sweet and savoury scones were delicious. Thankyou

The Yard has always been a favourite of ours. We have recently had one of the best meals ever. Thanks to all the staff, who are superb.

Great live music drinking pub. They don't offer food but allow you to bring in takeaways which is decent.

The pub has got a great location right on the waters edge, we have a lovely table seat upstairs which had great views over the estuary. The food was well presented and was superb, I highly recommend a visit.

Had breakfast here 2 mornings with 2 different sets of staff who were all friendly. Really enjoyed it. A good size portion, not massive but enough. Homemade cakes are lush too. Will definitely go back if we're in the area

Superb chips, nice and crispy without being overcooked. Staff super friendly. Can’t understand any of the negative comments on here. Definitely worth visiting We talked about Holland and shared some Dutch phrases:-) Absolute gem of a place

A large portion of chips should stretch further than what they do at the minute, i should be able to feed a couple of adults and feel full, i could have finished it myself! same with the pots of gravy/ curry. I'll be visiting the competition around the corner next time we want a chippy. Shame, as they are nice.

Waited 40 minutes for food. It wasn't terrible but had asked for lots of vinegar and there wasn't a drop (nothing) so was all a bit dry.

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

This establishment have been very hospitable, have always let you order fish and chips from across the lane and consume in the bar plus the greyhounds were allowed in (6) even on the furniture. During our four night camping at seabreeze we used the Royal each night.

Fantastic setting, beautiful sunny day with a gem of a pub. Landlord excellent, very welcoming, staff very friendly, roast pipping hot & lots of it for a very reasonable price.

A locals fav with lovely local dishes
