The best restaurants serving British food in Clare and Shuttern Mid Devon South West

In Bampton, Devon late on a Saturday night with limited food options...Googled, and found, Buddys. Excellent egg burger and chips from the friendly owner, a true life saver 🙂

We got a warm, easy welcome from Caroline which made us feel immediately at home in their beautiful B&B. To call it a B&B though doesn’t do it justice. The room was very cosy and basically faultless. We spent the most gorgeous evening sat by the wood burner that had been lit for us downstairs ready for our complimentary tea and homemade (beyond delicious) scone and tart on arrival. Breakfast was another treat, consisting of very good attention and the most amazing ethically sourced produce. Caroline and Nigel have developed a very special place and we will definitely be return customers.

Great food, lovely staff, and a nice welcome from Alfie, the dog .

Stayed here for New Years Eve 2024. We chose the pub / hotel for its remote location and lack of fireworks (we have dogs and one is traumatised by loud noises) - from the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. A quintessential English pub with wonderful, nicely designed and spacious rooms and very comfy beds (we had Beech and Birch). The owners and locals were very friendly and inclusive, taking care to make us feel welcome. We felt very well looked after. Breakfast was delicious (full English) and served with locally made tea and coffee (Miles, made in Porlock) and unlimited juice. We are happy that this place is only 50 mins from where we live because we will definitely be back for lunch and will find an excuse to stay again soon, I’m sure… highly recommend. Thanks to everyone there for a great stay! Sam and Nick Clarke

We called in for something to eat but it cost us over sixteen pounds for two coffees and two bland cakes you could go to bridge house just up the road and for another three pounds you can have two large coffees with two large snacks ,etc, Welsh rarebit with masses of gammon .the decor does not suit the bakery though I suppose that's what you are paying for but l for one do not like being ripped off,why calling a bakery when you can't buy any bread or cakes as you have to order it days in advance and there isn't any thing on display in the window. They are trying to be an upmarket cafe in the wrong place.we won't bother going there again ,rather go up the road ., at least we won't be ripped off.

Lovely pub by the river. Good food, reasonably priced. Will go again, highly recommend.
