The best restaurants serving British food in North Devon South West

Food excellent service excellent

I lived in Thailand for 3 years, and the food here is better than most I had in Thailand! Very authentic ingredients, incredibly friendly staff, and very accommodating (special shout out to Sam and Kirsty 🤗). Great atmosphere, would definitely recommend.

We visited this restaurant whilst in town for a few days, it’s a small place so make sure you book. The food was very good, well presented and perfectly seasoned. The service too was attentive and friendly. We would happily come here again, it’s a very good and well ran place.

Where to start with this gem of a place? My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at the Commodore Hotel, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. James and his team just can’t do enough for you. When we arrived in Instow our car key broke and he didn’t hesitate to assist us with fixing it - James went above and beyond, and we will be forever grateful!! The room was immaculate, elegantly decorated, and offered a breathtaking view of the beach, sea and beyond. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The on-site restaurant was a culinary delight, offering a wide range of delicious dishes, all perfectly prepared. The staff were attentive and made sure my stay was enjoyable. The location was ideal just set back from the promenade and the hotel has its own private parking which is a game changer for people looking to visit Instow. Overall, the Commodore Hotel provided an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and outstanding service. I will definitely be returning, thank you once again to James, Omer and the wonderful team at The Commodore Hotel.

We ate here twice last week whilst on holiday in Woolacombe. Food was excellent. We sampled six different meals from the menu. Everything was perfect, piping hot and served quickly. One night the chef hung on for us to arrive. Very accommodating and look forward to returning when visiting again.

We were a group of 6 friends visiting this wonderful pub in North Devon. Everything was perfect from the hosts and the cheerful and friendly staff to the superb food. My personal favourite was the pork tenderloin in a Stilton sauce served with scalloped potatoes and fresh vegetables - just to die for. There was a delicious selection of puddings too. I think I can safely say that we can’t wait for the next visit.

Popped in for an early evening drink, during a short break in Lynton. Seemed to be a popular place, and after a quick look at the food menu, we decided to stay for dinner. The portions are very generous and prices very reasonable. I couldn't actually finish my pizza (unusual for me!) but they were more than happy to box up what I couldn't eat, to take away. Good choice of beers, friendly staff and a great, relaxed atmosphere, hence 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This place has shut down Didn’t even tell Google it’s closed

Really lovely setting Staff and food excellent during a busy Sunday lunch service

Unfortunately we had an upsetting experience,I took two friends and my daughter with her guide dog .we were shown to the pet dog area I explained the law refusing access to guide dogs in areas that the public can go to but with no avail so we left it was my daughters Birthday treat .

Great food all freshly cooked. Good prices too. Extremely friendly helpful staff. Entertainment Saturday nights.

We both had 3 course and the food was amazing 10 out of 10 for every course. Iv never given such good marks. I even complement the chef. The waiting staff were fantastic aswell thankyou

Out & about I came across The Muddiford Inn decided to pop in for a light bite, ended up having a 3 course meal which was heavenly & enjoyed absolutely every part of it, the food has so much flavour and was beautifully presented. The pub is clean & nicely decorated with a lovely warm feel to it. Apparently a Family run business the young lady serving was so polite and professional & made the experience so delightful. Would highly recommend to any one in the area.

I had the best warmed cheese scones with the soup of day - really delicious and piping hot broccoli and stilton soup - wonderful combination! It was pretty busy on a Sunday but the service was good and it was a friendly atmosphere. I'd definitely go back, I hear that the cakes are really good!

A fantastic Sunday vegetarian lunch overlooking the beach. There were 3 types of roast meat but we had the nut roast. Which came with loads of veg and cauliflower cheese. We had not booked but they managed to fit us in, great value, great location, lovely staff. Top tip - book! We were there on the first Sunday in November and it was very busy.
