The best restaurants in Torridge South West

what an amazing find. We stopped here for a Sunday carvery. What a lovely meal! 3 meat to choose from and there was plenty. all sorts of veg and the potatoes were to die for! can’t recommend enough! we especially liked the desserts and the hosts were lovely. We were served by a young lad who was so polite and helpful.

My daughter and I booked dinner at The Olive Tree Restaurant in The Durrant House Hotel in Bideford. When we arrived the restaurant was very busy and our table was in the bar instead, which suited us both better to be honest. We were served by John-Paul for the whole time we were there and he was so friendly and helpful and we cannot speak highly enough about him. Nothing was too much trouble and he kept us informed about each course while we were there. We both ate from the Specials Menu which was dinner and dessert for £14.50. Our roast dinners were delicious and so were our puddings. We had a great time and will definitely be booking again very soon.

Counter unattended so had to order on machine. Couldn't figure out how table numbering worked . Come on Morrisons how about some customer service. Sausage overcooked almost black bacon barely cooked. I used to enjoy a Morrisons breakfast when on the road but won't be going there anymore

Lovely home cooked food, had the steak pie, delicious with plenty of vegetables, and a lovely apple & blackberry crumble, Lovely friendly pub and landlady.

I was recommended to try this by a friend. 9 of us staying locally rocked.up for breakfast at about 10:30am... we'd already noted from the website that they don't serve food between 11:30 - 12pm. we had 4 small dogs with us and sat at the back in the corner as two of our dogs are in training and need socialising. The 'dog rules' was definitely a clue of things to come. My two dogs barked a couple of times at other dogs coming in. The owner told my partner, "One more bark, and they are out, Despite this we ordered 9 breakfasts and the lad that took the order complains loudly "its gonna take me ages to cook this lot" we decided to sit outside away from our family as we felt by this point unwelcome. My niece then heard the owner say to another customerl "Yours are lovely and quiet, not like those rats" if I had heard this, then I would have left immediately!! My family came out to join us after they had eaten and said they had never felt so unwelcome! The food is average at best, and the poached eggs were solid! ... it's just a shame the whole experience was ruined by the poor attitude of the staff. Save yourself yourself £7 on the toll and a disappointing trip and eat elsewhere!

Had two takeaway's now from Everest, both really tasty, one of the best we've had.

Friendly welcoming staff were covid aware and brewed a great latte to take away. If you prefer real coffee to a tea shop it’s definitely worth popping off the main road to take a short stop here.

Best kebab house. Rarely eat them but when we fancy, this is the place we would only ever use. The main chap and colleagues are so friendly. Chicken shish, meat moist and cooked superb. My partner loves to have a little doner meat with it (reminds him of his youth probably 😁). Lamb shish never has chewy bits in it! Hence I’ll always keep to that. Fresh salad and chilli sauce. This time a pizza for our daughter. Perfect treat, especially when all the other takeaways are so poor. They deserve the business. Thank you for providing quality and service!

Would not recommend eating at Asda bideford. Cheapest products used.Even tho staff were lovely . Definitely not value for money.

Where do I start. Tried to short change my husband by 10 pounds then got order wrong, refused to change order to correct one and refused refund. Raw undercooked chips when called shop to advise got a very rude lady arguing with me telling me her food is always cooked correctly. Beware do not eat here find another Chinese

My boyfriend and I went to the Orchard as our friend was doing a gig...Back on Nights..Jason was an amazing friendly host and the locals were all friendly..it had a lovely warm atmosphere and we had a great night in the lovely village location..Thank you

We ate here a few months ago and it was ok not really inspiring, we re-visited last week and were very impressed, there was menu with plenty of choice and also a set menu for £20 for 3 courses, we ate of this and it was brilliant, lovely dishes, presented very nicely and the service was much improved also.

Tourist trap! Food was nice but absurdly overpriced, £100+ for 4 fish and chips and drinks, crazy price considering you have to collect your own food and it's served in paper trays without proper cutlery. Boutique restaurant price for takeaway food.

After walking around bideford we decide enter in this pub , what a nightmare ! the place smell like is not been cleaned for years !! the table was really sticky that my jumper got stuck on the table !! avoid

Not an enjoyable experience I'm afraid. Noodles in Roast Beef Chow Mein slimey (would compare consistency to a tin of spaghetti). The chicken in the chicken balls was mushy for the entire portion and the sweet and sour sauce was runny and another disappointment. There is not one good thing I can say about the food I'm afraid and a total waste of money. The one positive was the friend young girl who served us.
