The best restaurants in Two Rivers Torridge South West

We booked Sherry and her team to cater for our parents funeral in April 2025. They provided their catering service at a separate venue to the Old Farm House tea rooms… and catered for 200 people. After booking their service we visited the tea rooms and discussed what food we would like included in the buffet. They were happy to cater for our requests, and some of my parents old favourites were made and placed amongst the buffet. The food and presentation were wonderful, we had lots of comments from people attending about the quality of the food, with several people saying it was the best buffet they had tasted….. From a personal point of view Sherry was excellent and we did not need to worry about anything on the day or the lead up to it. Thank you so much for being part of the wonderful send off for our parents.

Sunday lunch here was particularly good. There were three choices - beef brisket, gammon or turkey, and you could have a generous regular portion, or opt for a smaller portion, which would probably be absolutely fine for smaller appetites, and good value at about £10. We opted for beef brisket, which was melt in the mouth delicious, nicely cooked vegetables, Yorkshire Puds and roast potatoes, served with a jug of red wine gravy and horseradish sauce. The service was perfect, and we both really enjoyed the experience. We opted not to have a pudding on this occasion, because we were so full but these looked really good as well. We have been here on other occasions for tea and cake , which is always great. The portions are so large that we normally share a piece, so just ask for two plates and forks and it won’t be a problem. Strongly recommended.

I love this pub! So friendly, you can talk to anyone in here, there is an everyday burger menu (the burgers are soooo good!) and then other pop up nights that are awesome too! Sonia, the landlady is super welcoming and loves to chat, this is a place where people go to interact with others, not just stare at their phones! Predominantly it’s a rugby pub, but they will put football on if asked. Other nights include pizza night, open mic, karaoke, live music and bands. There is a nice quiet beer garden out the back that has just had a lovely new decking installed. Well worth a visit if you are in high bickington, a proper country pub with friendly people!
