The best restaurants serving British food in North Devon South West

Good welcome, but very very slow food delivery on a quiet lunchtime. When the food did arrive it was terrible, burnt, very salty and greasy. One had to be sent back, another 20 minute wait! Had to go to another establishment to eat something to take the salty taste away. At least the bar man tried to recompense with free coffee. Will not return very disappointed as came on a recommendation on our day off!

My partner and I had a lovely meal here to celebrate his birthday. It was a quiet evening, so we were lucky enough to choose where to sit and eat. Naturally, we chose a table with a sea view to accompany our meal which added to the atmosphere of the evening. The service was excellent and we both felt very welcome, we received our food within 10 minutes of ordering and the portion sizes were great value for money. We will visit again the next time we are back in Combe Martin.

New management really giving it a go to turn this pup around. Some food offerings starting up but this time we only had a drink. Kind staff new management looking to do the right thing. Been newly decorated inside. Warm and inviting and the beer good.

Great cafe and great service. Went during a busy period and the food was excellent. Reasonably priced too. Will be back!

A lovely friendly little cafe with lots of choice. Delicious breakfast and drinks ❤️ grandson loved his hot choc! Would go again for sure!

Stayed with my little son for one night. Good bits; Great location. Near to car. Comfortable beds. Good lighting. Flatscreen TV. Decent size bedroom and shower room. Good amount of tea & coffee. Appreciated the little dressing table facing the window! Bad bits; The bathroom fan was extremely noisy. The hairdryer was also really noisy...so glad I took my own! The wardrobe stank so we didn't use it. Luckily there were several bathroom door hooks we could use. The shower desperately needed a shower mat as it was slippy. The bedroom smelled of dog food so l'm glad I took a room spray. The big window wasn't double glazed and was drafty. We could hear the outside rabble dispersing late for what seemed like ages! Frustrating as we were so tired after a long drive and a busy day. I thought the £15 fee was too much for one small dog. The next hotel l'm staying at only charges

I ordered gammon steak with chunky chips, pineapple, egg and peas, my partner ordered burger and chunky chips. Chips were not chunky and were over cooked and greasy, gammon was tough and greasy, no peas and burger was greasy. We both felt nauseous all evening! Would definitely not eat there again or recommend !!

It’s just not managed very well at all. If you use it when it is quite then, it’s cheap and cheerful, but if there are more than 8 people in. They switch off the order stations to stop you ordering. A 45 minutes wait for fish finger wraps because 7 people had ordered before. Not a clue how to organize the kitchen, and generally a couldn’t care less attitude.

Called in on Saturday to visit the museum and have some breakfast. The cafe is comfortable with really lovely staff and there's a decent selection of sandwiches and snacks. Breakfast is a sausage bap or a bacon bap and all the food is pre packed although the coffee was decent. The bacon roll wasn't awful by any means but this is a busy airfield and there's so much potential to do better. I understand its largely weather dependent but on Saturday there were 2 spitfires, a tiger Moth and a Stampe doing pleasure flights, 2 wing walk aircraft operating, skydivers, electric bike hirers, cyclists and plenty of observers plus the crews. So much potential for a great cafe rather than an average one. Would I go back? Yes I would but it could be better.

This owner obviously never reads his reviews as he has not changed in ten years - and the rest. A lady and her special needs daughter that we had met earlier on our walk came into the garden for tea and asked first if she could use the bathroom adding that it was "a bit desperate". Very rudely the proprietor pointed out that the only toilets were all ensuite and his customers use the public convenience across the river. There was no further comment or apology and he returned his attention to another couple who were not left alone for a second. Endless flow of advice on where to go and what to see. I was grateful we were ignored as that is not something I would appreciate; my companion enjoyed her lemon drizzle - she has a very sweet tooth, I had to leave my coffee and walnut as I don't, ( have a sweet tooth). The tea was weak. ( £15.00 ) It is a lovely spot but location does not make up for bad service.
