The best restaurants serving British food in Torridge South West

Can only give it one star as zero isn't an option. Battered sausages overcooked and tasteless, chips overcooked and solid. Ruddy awful 1

We stayed at The Anchor Inn for 1 night. Our room was lovely, very comfortable. Felt very home from home. Had everything we needed for a cosy evening. Ate in the bar on the evening. Food was delicious. Especially the crumble. Breakfast the following morning was lovely. All the staff were very friendly. Would definately visit this beautiful little place again.

The new owners, Justine and Andy, have transformed this friendly village pub. They provide great meals at great prices as well as events such as music and quiz nights. We run a B&B nearby and lots of our guests have been there and provided good reports to back up our own experiences. Well done!

As a group of 8 with 3 labradors we booked for lunch at this marvellous traditional old thatched pub. The welcome was warm from Oliver the landlord and our table ready , we all chose different dishes from the menu - a nightmare for the kitchen I’m sure. Each of us delighted with their choice either from the specials board or regular menu the portions were generous and the food freshly cooked . The two veggies in our group had options they were happy with too . When back in this area we will definitely return best pub food we’ve had in ages.

Outstanding!! What a wonderful pub. Very friendly staff,especially the owners son. We were staying over the road so ordered a roast for the next day when popped in for a drink. What a brilliant meal and they let me have extra roast potatoes. We even popped back later for dessert. I can't reccomend this pub enough.Thank you so much.Fantastic!!!!

Visited the bell for the steak night. Fabulous service. No long waiting times for food. Good choice of food available other than steak. We both ordered fillet steaks, this was cooked to perfection. Good quality food and service. Thanks to all the team at the Bell Inn.

Fantastic service and food is excellent and great value for money. Wide variety of food fr meals to snacks... come shine or rain as various places to sit , whatever the weather..

Good pub food in basic but very friendly environment.... and nice selection of beer as well. Lots of local chatter drowning out sport tv unless you go down that dnd of bar.

Great find for Sunday lunch. Four of us friends spending a few days in the area. The choice was roast lamb or roast beef . We tried both. Absolutely delicious . Everything piping hot. We received a lovely welcome. One of our group had enough space for pudding. Crumble and custard . Again, delicious.

Arrived in the area on Thursday. Stopped for a coffee on Friday morning. super cafe staff lovely . We would like to mention the lady who served us sadly We don’t know her name she was so nice gave us lots of tips of places to visit in the area we have followed her advice and had a great holiday. Many thanks

Called in after a day out hearing the good reviews of the place from the family and we were not disappointed. We had two fish and chips which were top quality and I would highly recommend

first visit to Lindsey's cafe,had a lattee,which remained hot and had their homemade fruit cheesecake which was delicious.

After a long walk and, finding ourselves stranded one hot Monday afternoon outside the Coach and Horses, with no buses back for 3 hours and little chance of arranging a taxi we were “rescued” by Tina, who came to our aid. Not only did she arrange for a local taxi contact of hers to pick us up to go back to Clovelly but, despite the fact the pub was closed on Mondays, she opened the bar especially for us to have some refreshment before being picked up. What a lovely lady and we have no doubt when we are next down that way we will be stopping by to catch up.

Food was excellent great atmosphere and far too much for us to finish but I tried. My youngest said it’s the best meal she’s ever had ( better not tell the wife).

Phenomenal 'Duke of Pork' - belly pork with stuffing and black pudding on mash with lots of lovely gravy and a rarely found steak and kidney pudding make a superb Friday night meal. We had a very enjoyable evening in this quirky but very traditional pub.
