The best restaurants in Torridge South West

Great choice, delivered on time and best curry I have had in a long time

The best Chinese takeaway in the whole of Devon! This is not a joke- the food is delicious and freshly made! We always treat ourselves to this Chinese as every other takeaway we had (we live in Barnstaple) just does not match their quality. 100% recommend!

I have been working at Bideford Bay holiday park for 7 months and this became my go to Indian takeaway although it is also a small restaurabt, I didnt eat in. I recommended to everyone who visited the holiday resort I worked on who were holiday makers from out of the area. REALLY fresh food, each dish sooo tasty, great portions, good prices and all round delicious. Lovely team too. 100% recommend.

Room was spacious. Food was lovely, landlady was extremely helpful and welcoming, she cooked a late meal and early breakfast out of hours. Only reasons this place gets 5 stars is because i cant give 7. Pub dog is named Devon, he is a cutie

Ate here twice. Food is reasonably priced. However, no fish in the fish pie and I am 100% sure that our fish n chips came from the local chippy. No way was this cooked on site. Another meal had totally different chips served. And I definitely wouldn’t order from whatever chippy it was! Staff v nice, service good and some music we heard was absolutely fantastic. We would return but will be selective in what we order.

Lovely venue overlooking the sea. Staff are very friendly and efficient. Never had a bad meal. Recently had the fish chowder, which I can say is probably one of the best meals i've had. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to go back.

Pros. Nice food and the waitresses were lovely , and efficient. Nice location. Cons. Quite a lot of “rules “ inflexible attitudes from some staff. Possibly only locals preferred….

Very good fish and chips, always busy which is a good sign. Gluten free mondays which is absolutley amazing offer. Service normally quick. Good portion sizes.

Booked for 1230, perused the extensive menu and settled on the steak and ale pie and a pizza. Both arrived piping hot, the pie served with mash, gravy and winter greens, delicious! Sandy's pizza was a triumph with lashings of melted cheese, pepperoni and spices. All served by efficient and friendly staff. This pub has stacks of atmosphere, the main bar with an open fire 🔥 and cosy nooks and crannies is popular with locals and visitors alike, you'd be wise to book if you want to eat.

Excellent Thursday Carvery. At £10.95 it’s great value. Thick slices of moist meat and fresh vegetables to choose from (can we have roast parsnips too please?! ) You won’t come away hungry! Staff efficient at the bar and at the carvery. Vegetarians catered for. See you again soon.

Loved the chicken and pesto panini, and the cheddar and chilli jam toasties lovely friendly service from the staff here

What an amazing place! The food was so tasty and fresh, the service was very attentive and welcoming. Waitress gave very detailed explainations on the food, spices and ingredients. Such a wonderful evening, thank you.

Provided lovely food and the staff were friendly and efficient. There is plenty of parking as it is in an old railway siding.

We booked a table here for a Saturday evening, having never visited Instow before. We were greeted warmly and shown to a nicely set table in the window. There was a good choice of beers and wines. The menu options were supplemented by a number of specials. The food was really tasty and very generous portions. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at The Quay.

Visited for a cream team. Whilst in this part of the country it is rude not to try a cream tea. We were greeted by friendly staff & advised we can sit inside or out in the garden. We knew what we wanted to order so placed the order & Werner & sat in the lovely garden with wonderful views. We didn’t have long to wait for our cream tea’s & we got 2 scones which made me & my partner happy. They were one of the best we have tried. Lovely flavour with plenty of jam & cream & a decent size pot of tea. (Jam 1st then cream) , IF YOU VIAIT CLOVELLY- THIS IS A MUST FOR CREAM TEA, Oh & very reasonable price !
