The Black Venus Inn

Challacombe, Barnstaple

We 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.

The Boutport Cafe

It's easy to see why this has won a trip advisor award. This is a wonderful cafe in the heart of Barnstaple town. The staff were wonderful and tentative. The price and food is hard to beat. The afternoon tea was great value and the homemade scone was one of the best I've had. This is a must visit spot if you are visiting or a local. Continue to keep this wonderful charming place running for the foreseeable future.

Harry's Cafe

★★★★★ A Proper Gem in Barnstaple!

I popped into Harry’s Cafe for a classic comfort food fix and ordered the bangers and mash – and wow, it did not disappoint. The sausages were high-quality, beautifully seasoned, and perfectly cooked, with a rich, flavorful onion gravy that tied everything together. The mash was buttery, smooth, and generous in portion.

The service was warm and welcoming, the cafe spotlessly clean, and the atmosphere wonderfully cozy. Whether you’re after a hearty breakfast, a quick cuppa, or a proper lunch like this, Harry’s delivers every time.

Highly recommended – best bangers and mash I’ve had in North Devon!

The Muddiford Inn

What 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!
