The best restaurants serving British food in Instow North Devon South West

Caroline has created a real gem. Very great and with a lot of love.

Thank you for a fantastic carvery - our second visit now and excellent once again. Lovely food and friendly staff, highly recommend.

Enjoyed a lovely pot of coffee and a flapjack whilst typing up some work, overlooking the estuary. Lovely day. Staff attentive and polite. Good service.

What a lovely proper pub. Great beer, good staff etc etc Can thoroughly recommend to one and all. Dog friendly too Rooms available also

The Baked Camembert starter was excellent. My wife had never had John Dory before so tried that but she wont be trying it again Cooking was fine but there really is nothing on a John Dory! All head and bone. I had the Christmas Pie which was OK but wouldn't have it again. My Chocolate Tart desert was excellent but my wife's Creme Brule was pretty average..not set firm enough and very thin caramelized topping. Ice cream on both deserts was excellent.

On a positive - good location and nice atmosphere in downstairs bar. Food was really mediocre and expensive relative to the quality- burgers less good than Spoons and twice the price, fish and chips average and fish cakes so poor that they weren't eaten- we raised this with the waitress who spoke to the chef who apparently said they were fine- I suppose food is very subjective. If you want decent food go somewhere better, if you want mediocre food go to Spoons.
