The Smugglers

➤ 5 The Quay, EX34 9EG, North Devon, United Kingdom

Steak • Seafood • British • Vegetarian

"Used to go here a lot with my mum over 20 odd years when on holiday in Ilfracombe, she loved it in here, had a look at the menu outside, quite pricey, but wanted a meal as a kinda nod to mum. Hadn 't been able to phone my kids to let them know wed got to Devon OK, as a poor signal/wi fi where we are staying, so asked at the bar if they had WiFi, the barman or owner, I don 't know which, turned to me and very loudly said, ' No, we expect people coming in here to eat and make conversation ' , he then encouraged the couple on the other side of the bar to join in his laughter at my request, we were then asked to sit near the bar and await a table,whilst he continued to pass comments about people on their phones whilst eating out to other customers at the Bar, I came to the very fast conclusion that he was rude, didn 't know my circumstances and could stick his food and attitude let 's hope when he reads this, he will contemplate why I was there, my simple request and not be so rude. Sorry mum, I tried xx"

Chichester Arms

➤ Bishops Tawton, EX32 0DQ, North Devon, United Kingdom

Steak • Seafood • British • European

"I had read about the Chichester Arms via accommodation info as I was visiting Bishops Taunton the North Devon area for a holiday. As this pub was conveniently located on the same road to where I was staying. I popped in confirmed dogs were allowed asked whether a booking was needed in order to eat, I was advised booking was advisable but there was availability for that evening depending on the time I intended to eat. I was flexible with my timings so was happy to take a table knowing it was booked from 7.30pm so there was time for me to eat and vacate it before the booked time. I came back approx 40 mins after my initial enquiry was shown to the back section of the pub where it seemed most tables were set for larger groups but was happy to have a table free. On looking at the main course menu, there was an extensive choice available but only 2 vegetarian options. I asked my server about both of these and decided to chose the veggie chilli. There were no extras on the specials board as noted 1 shown as Spinach Ricotta cannelloni but this was the other dish already listed in the mains section so no additional veggie options for choice. The chosen meal was tasty enough but I feel there could have been more of the actual chilli as it felt like a bowl of nachos with melted cheese, 2 servings of salsa, 1 serving of sour cream and guacamole and then the chilli in the middle. Although there was no issue with the service, I think the options for vegetarians should be widened and re-consider the balance on a meal like the one I chose as not convinced it was worth the price for what was mainly nacho crisps with a few toppings, it’s possible the spinach and ricotta cannelloni may have been better value for money. I was grateful that this pub was dog friendly and that I could be accommodated and have a reasonable meal of sorts after a long drive to North Devon without having to venture further a field on my first day in the area. My overall rating is boosted by the service as had that not been welcoming, I would have said my visit was ‘average’"

Lilico's

➤ The Square, North Devon, United Kingdom

Pizza • Tapas • Mexican • Chicken

"I've enjoyed good meals here in the past, but this visit was disappointing. The customer service was lacking, and the chorizo was overcooked. Additionally, I was not informed about the special offer."

The Old Mill

➤ Ossaborough Lane, EX34 7HJ, North Devon, United Kingdom

Pubs • Full • Steak • British

"Whist staying at Golden Coast we tried this pub. The place was clean and the staff friendly. However, the food was of poor quality, portions small, poorly presented and luke warm. The catch of the day fish was cod straight out of the freezer. The chips were low quality catering ones. My chicken pie was served in a pie dish covered in flaky pastry that had lost its puff. It was basically a few pieces of chicken in a sauce which was runny like gravy. This was served with a lump of mashed potatoes and peas. In fact I think all the meals were served with peas."

The Captains Table

➤ West Road, North Devon, United Kingdom

Cafés • Kebab • Sushi • Asiatic

"What a gem! We visited on what must have been the busiest and hottest weekend of the year so far and the service was faultless. Lovely decor, efficient, attentive and very friendly service, absolutely delicious food. We visited with our 3 children after a long hot day on the beach and there was nothing that was too much trouble. It was so good our children asked to come back the next day and if anything, our experience was even better second time round. The care taken and concern to ensure we had a chilled bottle of wine at the end of the day when ice stocks were running low was brilliant. We would heartily reccommend Captain's Table and hope we are able to return on our next holiday in North Devon."

The Cliff Top Cafe

➤ Lee Rd, EX35 6HW, North Devon, United Kingdom

Cafés • Kebab • Pizza • Mexican

"Looked down on the sea front for somewhere to have a cream tea and decided to chance the Cliff Top Cafe after my better half saw some pics and we were going to use the funny colour railway . NOT disappointed at all. We got the 'special ', which on this day was fruit chocolate, with cream jam may seem a weird combination but it was very good . Scone was large, light texture and really tasty. The cream and jam was not stinted on either. Altogether, one of the best cream teas I 've had, though the setting, the weather and being 'on holiday ' may have added to the overall experience . When the weather is good the seating area is a lovely place to sit, watching the train riders go by and it 's an attractive location in its own right! Service was quick and pleasant. Paper cups to facilitate easy quick service I think! . Overall, highly recommended"

The Red Barn

➤ Barton Road, EX34 7DF, North Devon, United Kingdom

Kebab • Cafés • Mexican • Fast Food

"We have eaten at the Red Barn many many times but since COVID they have changed their menu and booking system. In my opinion it is for the better. The service was excellent and we had the best meal we’ve ever had there. A smaller menu but the quality of the food was fabulous. Looking forward to returning there when we are next in Woolacombe"

Giovanni's

➤ 35 Boutport Street, EX31 1RX, North Devon, United Kingdom

Pizza • Pasta • Italian • Vegetarian

"Everyone loves an Italian and this one is more authentic than the pastiche chains. I felt it was going to be good when on booking I could hear the unmistakable Italian debate in the background! We were not disappointed, it’s not luxury dining by any stretch, but good quality, well prepared and tasty. House wine was also very palatable. Between us we had muscles, pizza, pasta, gnocchi and a calzone. All great. Staff welcoming and friendly. Worth a visit. Ciao!"

The Coffee Mill

➤ Riverside Road, North Devon, United Kingdom

Tea • Fish • Coffee • British

"Decent coffee and cakes and good wheelchair access, no toilets but a good public loo is only about 30 yards away. Also dogs are allowed at the outside tables. Please note, all the other eating establishments we looked at in Lynmouth seemed not to have wheelchair access however on the way back to the car we saw one round the corner facing the sea which claimed good disabled access, we had discounted this on first passing as it is located upstairs, presumably they have a decent lift."

Wimpy

➤ 26 High Street, North Devon, United Kingdom

British • Burgers • Fast Food • Breakfast

"Visited Wimpy,after years of not having one.. So travelled to Barnstaple just to have one.. A lovely clean, friendly, attentive restaurant. Everything came out quickly, and was hot. Really enjoyed our experience. Looking forward to visiting again."

Agricultural Inn

➤ 25 East Street, Braunton, Devon, EX33 2EA, North Devon, United Kingdom

Steak • Curry • Salads • Coffee

"After reading review of how pub was full of locals and so they had walked out I didn’t really know what to expect. So pleased we went in as I gorgeous Sunday dinner everything cooked to perfection but the homemade horseradish sauce was outstanding. Lovely atmosphere and very dog friendly offering our dog treats and a fresh water bowl. The locals were very chatty and very sympathetic to me on my crutches and teasing us on how we had walked the complicated way round. Locals are what keep pubs going all year round so for those who don’t like going into pubs where locals go and might get merry I suggest stay in your own self righteous garden."

The Ketchup Takeaway

➤ 1 Portland Street, North Devon, United Kingdom, EX34 9NN

Fish • Pizza • British • Burgers

"One of my favourite takeaways, all the food tastes delicious and the service is great! Decided that I would order online and called to get an update, the person who picked up the phone was lovely and just explained that they were busy so the waiting times were slightly longer- it’s definitely worth the wait! Staff are always so friendly. Definitely would recommend Ketchup to everyone!"

The Royal Britannia

➤ Broad Street, North Devon, United Kingdom

Pizza • Sushi • Mexican • Asiatic

"We had an early dinner before our sunset safari. After trying a few places without any luck, we decided to walk into this restaurant and were warmly welcomed. I really enjoyed the modern and unique vibe of the bar, and the cocktails were delicious. We ordered soup, potato soup, and chickpea-lentil curry to go along with our onion rings. The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. The clean restrooms were a bonus in such a busy city."

Fox Goose

➤ Leyes Lane, North Devon, United Kingdom, EX31 4PE

Pubs • Full • Steak • Lunch

"We booked through booking site which sometimes overages the hotels but this time it was spot on. There are steps to be negotiated although a ready hand with our case was given but if this is an issue just settle to eat and stay elsewhere but if you do you will miss a treat. The ROMs are modern well furnished with state of the art bathrooms. A nod to keeping it original the sash window is renovated but single glazed you will hear the fun outside but come closing time it was silence. The food is really good, you do have to order at the bar and the menu is chalked up on boards but then you won't ever be waiting and a request for wine comes with an instant bottle and glasses over the bar, if this isn't your thing well you are missing the point, it's a public and spotless but restored to look like a local from days past as is the exterior which matches this tiny village would you really want gastro pub garish grey. Like everything good or really good it reveals its secrets one by one, try the home made cakes in place of biscuits or flask of real milk. Glad to have discovered and to share"

The Palms Cafe

➤ 8 Belgrave Promenade, North Devon, United Kingdom

Cafe • Coffee • Ice Cream • Breakfast

"On a cool autumn morning with dew still on the windows, the scent of the sea in the air was captivating. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a mix of aromas - the warm cafe air wrapped around me, while the enticing smells of bacon and coffee filled the room. I sat down and the friendly server took my order with a smile, patiently noting down my extensive breakfast cravings. As I waited, time seemed to stand still until my meal arrived, a hearty breakfast that I had been eagerly anticipating. The bacon sandwich placed before me was simply delicious, and I savored every bite. I will definitely return to this charming spot, a memory I look forward to sharing during the holiday season. Ilfracombe, I adore you."

Pizza Hut

➤ Sticklepath, EX31 2AX, North Devon, United Kingdom

Pizza • Pasta • American • Ice Cream

"We arrived at lunch time. It was fairly busy but not overly busy. Lady sat us down. We sat for 20 minutes until we asked a young girl who was cleaning tables. She replied I will ask the lady to come over. Apex 10 mins later. Ordered 2buffet and 1 child meal deal. We tried to get drink refills but only water comping out. I did manage to catch the lady she did get it sorted after a while. Waited ages for granddaughters cheesy pasta. We went up to choose pizza but only 2 pizza so ok took a slice of each. Ate them and returned for more, still no replenish. I was amazed to find out there was only 3members of staff. How outrageous. The staff were so over worked and just couldn’t keep up. None of it their fault at all. Please Pizza Hut put more staff on. This is the 2nd time we have been in and the staff are running round in circles. It should not be called a buffet with only 2 types of food on offer."

Lacey's Tea Rooms

➤ 10 Lee Road, North Devon, United Kingdom, EX35 6HW

Tea • Coffee • Salads • Cheese

"We visited a wonderful tea room recently that had just been taken over by new owners. This family-run business serves delicious food and coffee in a cozy environment. The menu was full of tasty treats, from foot long Bratwurst to birthday cake slushies. Despite having some picky eaters in our group, including children with special dietary needs, the staff handled everything with ease and kindness. The small size of the place meant we had a great interaction with other customers, making for a friendly atmosphere. The efficient service and obvious passion of the owners for their business left a lasting impression on us all. My daughter was even inspired to leave her first ever tip, thanks to the wonderful experience we had at this charming tea room."

Redwood Cafe Ice Cream Parlour

➤ North Devon, United Kingdom, EX34 0DJ

Cafe • Coffee • British • Ice Cream

"I popped in to the redwood café to buy a couple of ice creams. The shop assistant was in deep conversation with a friend about the effects of Covid on the business and how difficult times were. I listened to the conversation for some time, I was totally ignored, not even acknowledged and left without my ice creams. No wonder they’re not doing very well."

The Angel

➤ 23 Church Street, North Devon, United Kingdom

Steak • Cheese • British • Vegetarian

"I booked this almost 3 months in advance, for our wedding anniversary and i have to say, it was well worth the wait. The service was understated but very efficient and the food was sublime. We had a beautiful Chablis with our meal, very well priced. My husband had a ‘delicious’ seafood starter and i had a well seasoned prawn crumble, both arrived at the table fresh from the oven and the accompanying toast and bread were still warm. We both chose lamb cutlets for our main and they were fabulous. Tender and perfectly cooked (pink) and the accompanying vegetables were red hot, perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned. I didn't have room for a dessert, but my husband pronounced his ‘absolutely lovely’ and i have no reason to doubt his opinion! We were both stunned when it came to paying the bill it was so cheap! We paid more for fish and chips last week than for the fantastic main course and i know which id rather have! I am amazed that this restaurant is not further up the trip advisor rankings it is seriously one on the best places i have eaten at in a long time and it wont be long before i go again…. If i had to make a complaint, i found the seats uncomfortable but its such a minor thing that in no way would it put me off going again I have tried to book this restaurant for a while now, but whenever the opportunity arose they were fully booked. I booked in March to go in May, and as I left i noticed a sign saying they are fully booked until August, so if you want to go be advised to book well in advance."
