Having read the reviews and had local feedback about how great the Beaver Inn was for food, we couldn't wait to visit.The welcome was friendly enough and all the staff were pleasant but the food was such a let down.We ordered off the specials; sea bass on a shrimp and crab risotto, and a whole plaice with new potatoes and kale.The plaice was so boney, not one mouthful could be taken without spitting out bones, and the veggies were really hard. We've had plaice before and never once has it been inedible due to having so many bones in it. Also, some intestines had been left in.The sea bass was ok, but the risotto was tasteless and there was lots of cartilage from the crab throughout it.All in all, a very poor meal. Lazy fish prep and no one tasting the food.I would give it a miss if I were you.Hello, Firstly let me apologise for your bad experience visiting the Beaver Inn. I have spoken to our whole team to try and gain more information about your complaint and no one seems to be aware of this situation, we check back on tables in the restaurant after they have received their food to make sure that everything is up to standard. Even so, without being informed of a problem there is absolutely no way we can rectify it.Plaice is in fact a bony fish, we are fortunate enough to be able to get it direct from the estuary, unfortunately we are unable to control the amount of bones in each fish, I can however tell you that this is not a common complaint.The Plaice comes in already gutted, ready to serve, I have asked the Chefs thoroughly check each fish in future.I can assure you there is absolutely no cartilage in our crab as it comes in pre pasteurised.We have just come off the back of a highly successful fish week, and as you can hopefully tell from the vast majority of our reviews we rarely receive these types of complaint.Again all i can do is apologise, but please in future give a restaurant the chance to rectify a food issue before condemning them on Trip AdvisorIf you wish to discuss this further, feel free to email us at [email protected]

Having not been before we wanted to try their Sunday roast. We sat upstairs in the window seat on a sunny afternoon which was picture perfect. The Lamb and Vegetarian roast was superb and one of the best weâve ever eaten. The staff were helpful and efficient and we enjoyed the whole experience - highly recommended.

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

My family and I visited The Westleigh Inn as a party of five this evening for my grandad's 80th birthday. The Westleigh was the perfect choice for this meal! We decided against starters, and I had the Slow-roasted Pork Belly for my main course, served with mustard mash, braised red cabbage and red wine sauce followed by the Strawberry Eton Mess for dessert. Other members of our party tried the Lamb Liver special and the Steak and Ale Pie, and all dishes were of an exceptionally generous portion and absolutely delicious in taste. The main dishes took quite a while to come out, although we enjoyed the time to have a conversation and a few drinks so this did not make too much of a difference to the overall experience, and we assume made for the good quality of the food. The service was attentive and friendly and the choice of food and drinks was very varied, and I would most definitely reccomend this restaurant.

Luckily we were sightseeing through northern Devon while a Sunday Roast Beef Carvery was being served at the Thatched Inn. This is a beautiful pub, and busy, with many families enjoying the Carvery. The roast beef was mouth-watering good, there was a nice variety of tasty vegetables, and the Yorkshire Puddings were huge. I'm afraid we ate so much we didnât have room for dessert. If you are near Abbotsham on Sunday, check out the Thatched Inn, you won't be disappointed.

Walk ins for an early dinner. Nice welcome, warm restaurant on a cool night. Drinks came straightaway. Orders taken directly after, and food came promptly. Our selections were clearly fresh cooked and the stir fry veg on my Asian pork were delicious. Desserts came on a huge dessert trolley, and these too were excellent. We'd go back in an instant: if we could stand after so much good food.

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. :)
