We were looking for a country pub for an evening meal on a rare child-free evening and we're so pleased we found this one! Delicious food, friendly service and a cosy atmosphere. Two meals, two drinks and two puddings for around £44. Would definitely recommend. :)

On a disappointingly damp Monday morning, our small party headed straight to this cafe to await a break in the weather. We ordered coffees, hot chocolate and Earl Grey tea. The drinks were great and they came up pretty quickly despite the fact that the cafe was so busy. My wife and I shared a huge slab of lemon sponge. It was light and fluffy with the creamiest topping. Our friends both had scones with jam and cream â it was disappointing that the gluten free scone was less than fresh. It was a very attractive café with lots of art work and knitted bunting which gave the place a certain quirkiness. There was just one toilet so at busy times there might be a queue. There was a garden with additional seating and a shop to the rear although we didnât makeit out there because of the weather.

Restaurant looks really nice and comfortable. We went in for a family evening meal but turned away despite there being a number of empty tables. Decided to order 3 takeaway pizzas instead. Incredibly overpriced, 2 of the pizzas were dripping with grease, base of pizza box was saturated in oil, meat feast and BBQ chicken. Don't appear to use mozzarella, rather cheddar cheese as a topping. For £34 for 3 takeaway pizzas, you would expect better quality.

Italian Restaurant, Bar & Grill
Reviewed By Rosemary27652
We were staying in a lovely B&B outside Bideford and so needed to eat out in the evenings. We love Italian food and Belluno was recommended by the landlady. What a find! We hadn't booked on our first evening, but we were squeezed in to this lively, clearly popular, Italian restaurant. The food was excellent, with a good choice at reasonable prices, and the service prompt and friendly.Can highly recommend - but do book ahead - as we did for our second visit.

We were on a coach trip and caught the free bus to the pannier market from where we walked down to the river without finding anywhere for a cream tea, so were delighted when we came across Velvet and Vanilla which really fitted the bill perfectly. The scones were warm and fresh and we got chatting to the family on the next table who were from Cornwall, so naturally we were asking if the jam topped the cream, or the cream topped the jam. We agreed that the most important thing was to enjoy the experience, and as long as you did, then what did it matter how you ate it! The service was friendly, and it was just how you'd expect cream tea to be in Devon.

This is a warm, friendly, delightful Cafe where two lovely ladies and their staff produce delicious cost effective meals and where nothing is too much trouble. Their hot chocolate is the best in town and I should know because I must have sampled all that Bideford has to offer

I really can't praise this restaurant enough. Our party of 10 received a very warm welcome (from Caroline, I believe) who sat us in a most beautiful room, a bit like sitting in a friend's sitting room. We were given a welcoming cocktail and small welcoming bites which we all loved, followed by our starters. we were all looking at each other in shear delight at the wonderful tasting food, it's a bit pointless describing what they were as I believe they constantly change, nobody was disappointed. Then onto some of the best cooked mains we've had anywhere. Again, not a disappointment anywhere, we all loved the food. The pear tarte that followed, well, the best I've ever had!! Our party was to celebrate a 70th birthday, we all left knowing we'd chosen well and we will go back some day soon when are in the area. Prices are modest for the quality on offer, it doesn't get better than this, our thanks to Instow Barton

Mel and I come to Memories whenever we travel down to see my mother who lives locally. As usual, last night's visit was excellent, the main course 'special' was locally-caught fish cooked perfectly. As always, a friendly reception with good atmosphere. We were lucky, as we phoned to book earlier in the week and the restaurant was full, however, Naomi remembered our enquiry and called back when there had been cancellation, to offer us a table. The 'review' from 'good food hero' does not reflect my experience.

Booked a table here for Sunday lunch with family and our five dogs.Accessed by a narrow road but plenty of parking and road not that busy. Worth the journey.Met and shown to our table. Staff nice and friendly, place lovely and clean.Food, I ordered the pork bits in chilli and ginger as my starter. The best starter I have had in many a year. Tempura prawns was the other starter ordered and was just as good, not that either of us shared much with the others.The main meals where good too, clean plates for everyone.My wife chose the sticky toffee pudding. I was allowed a spoonful and that too was really nice.Lovely restaurant, beautiful food and with good service. Will certainly return, even if it is just for the pork bits.Thank you all.Thank you so much for your wonderful 5* review, we are so delighted you enjoyed your Sunday lunch with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon for the pork bites & perhaps your own portion of sticky toffee pudding!! Best wishes Susan
