We went for a roast,been many times before,but on this occasion it was a buffet style meal,to be honest we didn't think it was as nice,it could've been a lot hotter,and the price had gone up considerably

We’ve had takeaways before and always enjoyed the food so today we decided to give the roast buffet a try .. absolutely delicious .. everything was really good quality and cooked to perfection, great atmosphere and friendly staff .. looking forward to our next visit.

Ordered a take away for delivery and what a treat. Great menu choices and affordable prices. Our choices were delicious and arrived on time, able to order a bottle of wine to go with it which was a bonus. We’ll done we’ll be using you again

Compliments to the chef. I had the homemade spaghetti bolognaise. It was delicious. All was homemade; burgers, mac and cheese Lovely bar and restaurant adhered to the Ilfracombe Holiday Park. Does beautiful breakfasts too.

We really needed this break, service isn't quick but gives us time to chill so all good by us! Presume most is cooked fresh. Food was excellent as always, crispy pots, soft meats, crunchy veg, just perfect, complete with all the condiments you would need on the plate and table!Thank you so very much for a lovely Sunday lunch...Noe food coma time x

Sunday lunch was brilliant, we arrived at12.55 and the place looked closed and was very cold, but people started to come in and it got a bit warmer then the food arrived and it made it all worth while, extremely generous amount of food that was very well cooked and presented and at £8.99 you would be pushed to make it home at that price. Highly recommend

Credit where its due, the Sunday roast is very tasty, I have been here numerous times. They do unfortunately have issues, but the food and price makes up for it. Well it did until last time, we usually get the pigs in blankets, but they served me bad, old, going off sausages, they had a weird taste and when cut open were grey in the middle. Not good. They also do not cook their cauli cheese long enough and is always hard. One more thing, is there is no atmosphere and watching someone in the open kitchen singing to the radio is not my idea of entertainment. The service however is usually very good. Just hope they are not going to start slacking on the food.

Visited monkey puzzle last night for their Mexican night. Food was absolutely brilliant. So tasty and such a large selection! Fresh salad for the tacos, plenty of cheese and tasty guacamole! Brilliant value for money! Absolutely recommend. Bar service was a bit slow and could have done with some music to liven the atmosphere a bit for a mid week treat you can’t fault it!Vegetarian options: Vegan and veggie options were available and really tasty

My Son and I spent 5 days on holiday at IHP, we had breakfast in the Monkey Puzzle on our 2nd day which was really nice, we also had Sunday Lunch which we both enjoyed very much. Compliments to the Chef. We are still on site for another 2 days and planning to have breakfast before heading home on Wednesday.

We discovered this restaurant today, and I'm pleased to say it is a cracking little place and great value too!2 adults roast dinners plus two kids roast dinners for £21.99! For that price we weren't expecting too much. However, the food was amazing! No fast, cheap and cheerful food here. All homemade with a lot of love and care from some very skilled professional chefs. Best roast I've had in a long time.There's also a good-sized soft play area for the little ones, and it's dog friendly, too.It's fair to say we will be back the next time we are in the area ?.Also, they sell lovely milkshakes too.Kid-friendliness: Very children friendly with a large soft play area.Parking: Lots of free parking nearby

Went here yesterday for Sunday dinner/roast, absolutely outstanding food and beef juicy and tender. Truly value for money and clean and tidy resort. Would definitely go again as we are local.

I cannot express enough my disappointment this place, a take away restaurant that has managed to ruin my dining experience entirely. To say that my encounter has been a nightmare. I placed an online order, eagerly anticipating a delicious meal, only to have my hopes shattered as I never received anything . Naturally, I assumed it was a simple mistake, but what followed was an absolute lack of accountability from the restaurant. My first attempt to reach the restaurant was met with an excuse and a promise to refound the money. Until today, no response to my emails, no answer to my phone calls. It seemed as if they had vanished into thin air, taking my money with them. Persistence drove me to continue my attempts at communication, desperately hoping for an explanation or, at the very least, a refund. Weeks passed, and my frustration grew. It became clear that this establishment had no intention of fulfilling its obligations to its customers. I have never encountered such a level of disregard for basic customer service principles. It is utterly unacceptable to take someone's money, fail to deliver the promised product, and then vanish into the shadows without a trace. The lack of professionalism and basic decency displayed by Monkey Puzzle is appalling. Their actions reflect a complete disregard for the value of their customers and the importance of customer satisfaction. Not only have they stolen my hard-earned money, but they have also stolen my time and trust. I implore anyone considering ordering from Monkey Puzzle to think twice. Don't make the same mistake I did. Avoid this establishment at all costs. Not only will you be left hungry and disappointed, but you may also find yourself fighting for a refund that may never come. This place has shown a complete lack of integrity and responsibility. I urge them to rectify this situation promptly, return the money they owe, and provide an explanation for their unacceptable behavior. Until then, I will continue to share my harrowing experience with as many people as possible, in the hopes that others can be spared the frustration and loss that I have endured.
