Beautiful meal - every course was fabulous - one of our favourite places to eat - worth every

Steph Tomlin

Visited for the first time this evening, It absolutely did not disappoint one bit! The Decor, The Atmosphere, The Food & The Service was Outstanding! Josh’s attention to detail & passion really stands out in every dish, The flavours were absolutely beautiful! I genuinely did not think I would enjoy some of the items on the menu but it was some of the best food I’ve ever had! It was £85 for 8 Courses- amazing value & worth every penny spent! Greeted & seated by Chloe who immediately followed on with taking our drinks order, we felt very taken care of & Honestly can’t recommend this beautiful restaurant enough! We can’t wait to come back & try another variety of beautiful flavours im sure Josh has coming in the next few weeks! ? Thank You Both for a fabulous evening.

The food is ok nothing special in my opinion and certainly not worth the ridiculous high prices ,we would definitely not go back , theres far better places around that are much better value .

Number 8 never fails to deliver as experienced once again to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Starting with the warm welcome from Chloe through to the excellent food prepared by Josh using top quality ingredients, all beautifully presented. Is it any wonder we continue to highly recommend this to friends who want to treat themselves.

Perfection , from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. I recommend reading their mission statement in full on their website before booking, it sets your expectations ensuring you won’t be disappointed. The hosts are first class in their respective crafts comfortable seating. The food just amazing full of flavour and inspired recipes well done . Portion sizes perfect for a tasting menu. Wines and drinks in general fantastic range. We went for the wine pairing option well worth it. The entire experience was 5 star and they are from my home county of Cornwall. Well done guys you made our friends 60 birthday celebrations

I took my husband here for his birthday dinner and it was unforgettable. The food was incredibly well prepared with so many different elements to them. The portion sizes were perfect, the place was visually beautiful. So glad such a gem is not that far from us. We have already planned to visit again. A credit to the owners! Great for a couples night out or with a group of friend who appreciate fine dining.

We have just enjoyed another splendid evening at Number Eight and the food on the November Menu was delicious. I have just seen a review from someone who said the chef can't be bothered with vegetarians. SO WRONG! I do not eat meat but Joshua always looks after me and tonight's meal was absolutely scrummy - who would have thought cauliflower could be exciting but it was! Give it a try - you won't be disappointed.

We have had the privileged of eating in some amazing restaurants around Europe but we can honestly say that our meal and service at Number Eight was one of the best we’ve ever had.  The quality, imagination and presentation of the food was faultless.  If this doesn’t deserve a Michelin star nothing does!

Another delicious meal, outstanding flavours and great presentation.As ever very well looked after by Chloe in the relaxed atmosphere of this lovely decorated restaurant. Would definitely recommend it.

Another excellent meal at the best restaurant on the area. First time for us at their lovely new home across the river. Food always outstanding and Chloe does a fabulous job on front of house. If we are down in Devon this is the first place we book for a meal.

Don't bother if you are vegetarian.Very disappointed with our experience as a pescatarian/vegetarian the options were thoughtless and tasteless.Instead of lamb there was breaded aubergine no flavour what so ever. Instead of chicken was chargrilled courgette. For £85 a head for the tasting menu, was really underwhelmed.Don't bother if you don't eat meat chef obviously can't be bothered! Ridiculously expensive vegetarian food!Friendly service, but lacking for the price you pay had to top up own water and wine.

Not somewhere we would usually choose to visit but thought we would try something new and it didn’t disappoint, the food was very good.
