The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Bideford North Torridge South West

We were visiting family in Bideford and decided to come here for the first time for breakfast. We’re glad we did as the veggie breakfasts were excellent and good value, and service was friendly. We’d definitely return if we were in Bideford again.

In search of a snack on a wet and cold March lunchtime, we happily chose The Little Coffee Cup. An excellent sandwich, made to order by very friendly ladies. Highly recommended.

I popped in to the Secret Garden Cafe hoping to have a light lunch with my daughter for a special treat - we had been given a £15 voucher to spend and had been really looking forward to our visit. However, it was not the lovely lunch we were hoping for… When we went in, there was a bit of a wait for a table. One of the waiting staff popped out into the garden to see if a table was free there. The older man in the kitchen spoke very rudely to him saying a rather aggressive manner, “you should know if there’s a table free if you could only do your job properly!” The poor guy (who was probably only late teens) looked really upset. While we were waiting for a table, I chatted to another staff member and showed her my gift voucher saying we were excited to finally be able to use it as we had been given it for Christmas. The man in the kitchen then demanded to have a look at it. He said that we couldn’t possibly use the voucher as he only provides laminated vouchers and ours was just on a piece of paper. He implied that we had printed it off ourselves! He then questioned me (in a very abrupt and abrasive manner) for about 5 minutes via the female staff member, wanting to know where I had got the voucher and kept repeating that he only ever gives out laminated ones. I wasn’t really sure what to say! He then asked the female staff member to write down a note about the voucher in their book and take my name and phone number! He said I couldn’t use the voucher until “it had been investigated.” I felt like a criminal! It was also very embarrassing and uncomfortable as everyone in the cafe was staring at my daughter and I! I was then given a menu and told that someone would be over to take our order. I said no thank you, and we walked hastily out. I won’t be back. My auntie (who gifted me the voucher) has been conned out of her £15 so if you are considering buying vouchers from here as a gift, I would say don’t bother, as you won’t be able to use them!

Was really looking forward to trying breakfast but was unfortunately closed. Maybe it was just out of season as it was the last week of September but didn't see any notice boards with information.

Really lovely place with excellent customer service. Yummy food - all 7 of us VERY happy with our different meals. Reasonably priced too. Happy to help and accommodate. We’ll be back next time we visit Bideford! Thank you.

What a lovely coffee shop. Friendly staff, excellent taste in music (Taylor Swift). Clean and bright cafe. Hope small businesses like this come through the energy crisis, would be a shame to lose this type of establishment.

Excellent English breakfast and very friendly service. Great variety of cakes, sandwiches and salads. Dogs are welcome.

1 star. Wasnt nice at all. Pizza toppings rock hard. Pizza was dry. Hardly any sauce on it. I dint like too much sauce, but this, there was hardly any on there! Didn’t get the curry sauce i paid for. Chips were cold, soggy and floppy. My partner said the kebab was, okay, but her prefers our usual place. All in all, most of it went in the bin. Waste of money.

Quite possibly the worst culinary experience ever. Dirty cups, cold food, and staff who quite honestly didn't have a clue. Horrible doesn't quite cut it.

Though we live quite locally this was our first visit. A warm welcome and very friendly staff, we had bacon sandwich, breakfast wrap and coffees, all tasted lovely and fresh and drinks nice and hot. Very reasonably priced, will visit again

Such a shame they have a TV constantly on in the bar area with the depressing news channel on instead of music or something more interesting to look at
