The Muddiford Inn
Muddiford, BarnstapleWhat an absolute gem of a pub and restaurant! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the cutest pub dog, who instantly made us feel at home. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with staff who don’t just serve you but actually take the time to have a laugh and a chat – it really adds to the charm.
The gardens are stunning – spacious, beautifully kept, and perfect for families. The children’s play area is fantastic; the kids were having the time of their lives while we could sit back and enjoy the surroundings stress-free.
And the food? Incredible. Every dish was cooked to perfection, packed with flavour, and beautifully presented. The drinks were even better – perfectly poured, refreshing, and just what we needed.
If you’re looking for a place with a great vibe, delicious food and drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay all day, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!

Wimpy
26 High St, BarnstapleHappy to find another wimpy after so many years of not being able to locate one in the south west. The food was typical of wimpy however I was very surprised by the price hike they’ve employed for their foods! A standard burger will now cost between 6-7 quid without fries or drink to add these it will cost you between 6-7 in addition. So a total of around 12-14 quid for a very standard meal in this restaurant. Very expensive. On the plus side the staff were very friendly send the restaurant very clean.

The Black Venus Inn
Challacombe, BarnstapleWe visited this fantastic dog-friendly pub during our stay in Barnstaple. Communication with the staff to book was very easy, and I would recommend reserving a table as it was quite busy when we visited.
The food was excellent. We started with the duck Scotch eggs, which were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. My only small criticism would be the sauce, which didn’t really add anything to the dish, a piccalilli style sauce would have complemented it much better. That said, this is being very picky as I still really enjoyed it. The salad was lovely too.
I had the venison sausage and mash, which was very tasty. Unfortunately, there were a few small pieces of bone in the sausage and I almost cracked my tooth on one, but despite this I still enjoyed the meal. My partner had the venison burger and said it was one of the best burgers he’s eaten in a long time. The children’s pasta was also a very good portion.
The staff were extremely attentive, and it’s rare to find places of this standard offering great local produce in such a welcoming pub setting. We will definitely be back when we’re in the area again.

It's quite hidden the sign but we had our dogs and it said doggy ice creams so popped up to see it. We ordered the 3 meat panini and omlete - both delicious and kept us going until evening. We then carried on onto Barnstaple and stopped for drinks at Betty's tea house - that was lovely too. Had a pot of tea there and a large slice of cake. We've not been to Barnstaple for over 30 years and it has changed a lot since our last outing. Shame a lot of the shops are now closed but I suppose that's most small town now

Secondly, The vibe here is perfect. Its quite, but not too quite. You can easily talk without feeling like the elephant in the room while also not being surrounded by noise. It also has a bunch of games like pool, mega jenga and darts. This is place is seriously amazing. You NEED to come here.

Queen Anne's Cafe on the Strand
Queen Anne's Walk, The Strand, Barnstaple⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Lovely stop on The Strand”
Stopped into Queen Anne’s Café in Barnstaple and really enjoyed it. The egg mayo sandwich was fresh, creamy, and full of flavour, and the coffee had just the right strength to set me up for the day.
The team were friendly and welcoming, making it an easy, relaxed place to sit back and enjoy a bite. Definitely worth popping in if you’re in town.

The New Inn
Goodleigh Rd, BarnstapleSuperb food and lovely hosts. We found this by chance whilst on holiday. I would recommend anyone in this neck of the woods to go and visit. Well worth the drive. Their knowledge of gluten free (and the fact almost anything could be done gluten free) was also fantastic. 10/10!

Green Lanes Cafe
Green Lanes, BarnstapleGreat cafe, superb service from the ladies working today and really impressed at how quickly they were able to advise on gluten products for a coeliac person - even stocking gluten free bread!
Excellent priced breakfast, only downside is that you’re charged for swapping items, e.g. swapping beans for another egg. Not a dealbreaker though! Will definitely visit again!

The Hunters Inn
Newton Tracey, BarnstapleI stayed at Hunters for a week and I loved it. The rooms are clean, spacious, very comfortable, all the amenities you’d expect and great water pressure in the large en suite shower. Niky and the team could not have been more welcoming and helpful, they were absolutely lovely! And the breakfast was beyond fantastic! Even after a late night, I’d sacrifice a lie in for that full English! I’ll be back again next year and I’m already looking forward to it!

Bull & Bear
128 Boutport St, BarnstapleMy partner and I went there for lunch today while visiting the area from Plymouth.
The food was plentiful and tasty.
But the reason for the review is due to the exceptional service from the young woman who served us. Nothing was too much for her. She brought a bowl of water for our dog, was quick and polite with a smile on her face. This lady was softly spoken with a kind face… a real asset to the establishment.
