We headed to the Beachside Grill for lunch, what a wonderful location and with such beautiful views over the beach.We found the staff really friendly and the portions of food both tasty and massive!! The burgers looked good on another table so will go for those at our next visit!

Visited my favourite fish and chip place in the UK with my UK âfamilyâ. From Sallyâs warm welcome to the last bite of the cod and chips just as I remembered - awesome!

Because we live locally we could be classed as biased however we have tried many fish and chips throughout the country but none can beat the Pelican. Lovely restaurant and friendly service which is also very quick even in the busy times. Recommend that you book because if you donât youâll miss the chance to sample the best.

The Standfield Grill is inside the Commodore Hotel, ensure you book for breakfast lunch or dinner. I had all three whilst staying there and they were all great, especially the lobster!

Highly recommended we dropped in around 9 midweek and were made v welcome - last orders for info are at 9:30 Excellent service I enjoyed the scampi and my friend similarly the large cod both served with all the trimmings and washed down with excellent coffee and tea. Prices are fair for the high quality of food and the very pleasant surroundings in which to enjoy a meal. There is a well stocked bar too including some Cornish navy rum which is worth trying! Enjoy.

Best Chip shop in Bideford
Reviewed By barrossa
Thought we would try fish and chips from here having heard a few recommendations. Decent size portion of chips and fairly decent sized fish. Nicely cooked and the curry sauce was okay too.Would eat here again.I am fortunate to live very close to one of the best fish and chip shops in Hampshire, if not further afield too, so always going to be tough to get five stars. This was nice though.

If there was no star rating, this would place would get it. Nice welcome, then down hill all the way. Staff are not trained. Potted crab had shell in it, unseasoned, but nicely presented. Waitress tried to clear our plates before we had finished, my partner had I had not! Main course. Chicken parmigiana, how do I start?? Chicken Brest in breadcrumbs, deep fried served with linguine in tomato sauce. Chicken over cooked, this is because it should have been butterfly cut and beaten, pan fried in butter and olive oil. Till golden brown. As for the linguine, it was was over cooked and they must have forgot the salt in the water. The tomato sauce was out of a jar. Just disgusting. A tomato sauce is one of the easiest things to make. On the menu it states Fresh Basil not a chance it was dried. I had the same starter but the Chicken Caesar Salad, what was dumped in front of me was not a Chicken Cesar Salad. Just a few old lettuce leaves an over cooked Chicken Breast it was over cooked by more than 10 minutes, rubbery, no taste I couldnât eat it. I didnât nor did my partner as his was no better. Now for the Salad part limp lettuce a spot of dressing, out of a packet croutons and a very small amount of finely grated Parmigiana. Disgusting. A Caesar Salad should have Romano or baby gem lettuce, hard boiled egg, and shards Anchovies and bacon, and shards of Parmigiana, It had non of it. Itâs traditionally made at the table. We work hard 6 days a week so like to relax with a nice meal. I know what I am talking about with food I have been cooking for 50 years, and just won 2 one stars in the Great Taste awards. Typical British seaside RIPOFF it way over priced for Westward Ho! I would happily come in and teach your cook, how to cook as he is not a Chef! But I am not cheap!This exact response has been posted to your partner. As you came together.Dear Sir,In response to your review we feel that it is extremely unfair. Unfortunately you do not know our head chef, he is very tallented and very hard working with a fantastic work ethic. All of our staff worked extremely hard that evening on what was a very busy night for them, we are a small family restaurant. We as a professional establishment feel that you as a fellow chef made a scene in front of all the other customers when it could have been dealt with in a calm manner. We are more than happy to discuss your concerns and answer your questions if you would like to come in and speak to us. As you can see from our many other reviews they are all positive as were all of the customers when you left the restaurant, they very much enjoyed their evening. We always aim to make our customers happy, and always do our best and our regular customers and reviews support that. Kind regardsThe Drift Restaurant

Quayside Inn with bar, restaurant and 17 letting rooms. Lovely views across the Torridge estuary towards Instow, outside seating and small car park, situated in Appledore, a lovely quaint fishing village in the heart of North Devon.
Reviewed By DaveSMiltonKeynes
We stopped at their Quay location in a first floor suite. The room was first class and comfortable. The breakfasts were very good with lots of choice each day. Most of the staff were really helpful. Compared with last year we thought the dinner menu was not quite as good with a lack of specials especially fish. Room prices have now increased but we still thought it was good value and well located in Book Festival week.Thank you for taking the time to leave us a great review Dave, I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay in one of our fantastic Quay suites. Although our menu is slightly smaller we still aim to offer food of a high standard, using quality locally sourced ingredients and suppliers.Please visit our website to view our 'winter breaks' deal available from Oct 28th-March 31st.We hope to see you again,Kind regardsChelsea

We arrived late lunch, 2ish. But were welcomed and asked to choose a table. We picked a window seat. Our waiter was attentive and thorough our food took a little time to come but cooked fresh you would expect this. We needed to catch the ferry but fear not. Four wonderful plates of food couldnât fault it. We all wished we had time for dessert. But looking at what others were having we missed out.Hi DianeMany thanks for your great review and for taking the time to share your experience on Trip Advisor. We hope to welcome you back again soon.Yours, with best regardsBrendan
