The best restaurants in Torridge South West

Popped in on off chance for lunch. Ordered a toastie and dirty fries each. The toasties were delivered relatively swiftly but no sign of the fries. Had to start eating toastie before it went cold & asked twice about the fries to be told 'they're just coming'. My husband had finished his sandwich before the fries arrived. The 2 kitchens obviously weren't communicating on orders. We wanted them together not as separate courses! Shame as food was lovely but make sure you tell them you want things together.

Worse Chineese ever. Having lived in Bideford over 35 years, never tried them. My first try and absolutely rubbish. Peppery squid felt like supermarket bought bread crumbed squid dipped in oil, rubbery and tasteless. Duck was burned with lots of fat and hardly any meat. Curry's were very runy and taugh beef. Can go on.

Super friendly staff and particularly a big shout out to the amazing Sophie who was lovely when out dog demolished a latte and coated all the outdoor tables with it. She even made us a new coffee but wouldn’t take payment. Only reason this is not 5* is it’s not dog friendly. This inconsistency is something Starbucks need to sort out!!

Vegetarian curry was bland and didn't taste cooked out. The spicy salt and pepper chips were about £1.50 worth, not the extortionate £5 charged. Sweet and sour Cantonese was a semi battered breast sliced, which was just ok, not amazing. Shame as it had so much promise.

Had an impromptu lunch at the Yarde Orchard in September 2024. Delicious coffee and tuna baguette and lovely setting, all at a reasonable price.

Very angry, on line menu priced our meal at £36 ordered on the phone told we've just had a price rise it's £41 I explained the advertised price and asked if the wanted to honor it ,they refused, left me the only option to vote with my feet, told them to cancel the order. Unhappy customers go on to tell 10 other local people about poor experience.

The carvery was so delicious! Great tasting food and great portion sizes! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the carvery meat options and cocktails as well. Thank you team :)

The van runs a generator all day to power the van, noisy and polluting. must be a greener way to run a business.

My family and I came in on bank holiday Monday and the shop itself had some amazing products and some things like pick n mix were reasonably priced, the 3 younger staff were very nice and helpful but this one older lady stank of stale fags and was so rude to the staff shouting and throwing things on the ground. She really put a down mood on the shop, the lady with blue hair was talking to her about the tasks around the shop and the older lady just stormed off. I don’t know what was going on but clearly the old lady needed her fags to get through the day you could smell it on her. However, the other 2 younger staff members were so helpful I had to ask both of the younger staff members for help and they were so amazing and even showed the website as well, I was served by the blue haired girl and she had a great smile on her (even with the old lady putting everyone down). I really hope the staff here stay positive as they have an incredible shop, and I hope that older lady gets happy and learns you can’t earn respect by shouting and storming around

I ate here tonight and it was utterly delicious. Dirty fries and a milkshake. Next time I’ll have to try one of their burgers. Highly recommended.

We ate dinner here as a big family group for a birthday celebration. Food was delivered all at the same time, tasty and great service... recommend!

Very welcoming, excellent food and service. Staff all very curious.

Though we live quite locally this was our first visit. A warm welcome and very friendly staff, we had bacon sandwich, breakfast wrap and coffees, all tasted lovely and fresh and drinks nice and hot. Very reasonably priced, will visit again
