The best restaurants serving British food in Bideford North Torridge South West

Popped in on off chance for lunch. Ordered a toastie and dirty fries each. The toasties were delivered relatively swiftly but no sign of the fries. Had to start eating toastie before it went cold & asked twice about the fries to be told 'they're just coming'. My husband had finished his sandwich before the fries arrived. The 2 kitchens obviously weren't communicating on orders. We wanted them together not as separate courses! Shame as food was lovely but make sure you tell them you want things together.

This is a great meeting place with a hiden garden out the back , a real locals pub Brian and shirley always make you welcome and have a great sense of humour. Theirs always a story or tale , they only take money not cards , but the ATM machine is very local. a good mix of ales, beers and spirits.

Went to cafe for late breakfast @ approx 11.45am. Only one person on the till taking orders who was very polite and pleasant but very slow and was sorting out the drinks machines as well as one wasn’t working properly and the others needed refilling. Stood for 15 minutes waiting to give my order with only two people in front of me. Only one waitress serving the food to the tables and it was very busy. The food arrived after 35 minutes waiting, the plate was cold and the food was cold to lukewarm, and their idea of toast was showing the bread to the toaster. Would have complained but it was getting chaotic at the til and drinks machines. Would have liked another coffee but couldn’t face standing in a queue again.

EXTREMELY SLOW SERVICE Staff have no customer service and obviously no training given. Live locally and will not return.
