Had a fabulous Sunday lunch here today. Lovely pub, very friendly and helpful staff. The roast was so so good, perfect roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and plenty of gravy! A rarity! So glad we found you and we will be back on our next trip here!

We enjoyed a fantastic Sunday roast on 5th of November. Excellent sized portions the beef was superb. We warned them in advance that I was disabled and were given a table by the door. Staff were very attentive and friendly. No disabled toilet but they were easily accessible and as I do not require a wheelchair I was able to access the outside toilet . Heartily recommend this wonderful pub for a great dining experience.

Fantastic service - large, last minute table booking due to walking out of another local restaurant, they just couldn't have been more accommodating or professional. Definitely worth a visit! Thank you so much for a great night.

I wish I could give more stars!I rang late on a Saturday evening after being letdown badly by another restaurant. The lovely lass on the phone couldn't have been more careing and polite.We got there a few minutes later, and where greeted by a lovely gentleman who was very understanding of my sons needs being autistic and away from home food can be a difficult thing to navigate.The two female servers we just amazing all 10 of us.The food was to beautiful and to be honest it didn't take a massive time for it to arrive, the kitchen is small and only one chef on that day I believe. We waited under half an hour from order to arrival, I have waited in spoons longer!!!Every one made us feel welcome and relaxed just wishes we lived closer as would be back in a heart beat.Kid-friendliness: My son is autistic as I have stated. But they were just so kind and understanding. Really took their time with him which I really appreciated

Absolutely incredible place. Great food, super accomodating to us booking a table for ten at short notice and went above and beyond to make sure that everyone was comfortable in our variously neurodivergent party and even to spend ages at the end helping us to divvy up the bill. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending them, will definitely return next time I am in the area!Kid-friendliness: One of our party was an autistic child and the staff were amazing, down to checking in that he was ok with the cutlery and how exactly he wanted his food served.

We went for Sunday dinner. Absolutely beautiful food, the beef melted in our mouths!. The ladies who served us were lovely and friendly and even gave us recommendations for other places to eat, whilst we are here. Will definitely return.

A lovely little thatched roof pub/restaurant with lots of history. Called in here for dinner whilst on a mini break in Ilfracombe. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and food delicious. We had 2 courses and were too full for a pudding Plenty of free parking too

What an amazing Sunday Lunch! Plentiful braised beef that literally melted in your mouth. Accompanied by yorkshire pudding. Cauliflower cheese, roast carrots and parsnips, broccoli, sublime roast potatoes and the tastiest gravy. A real treat. Although the pub is small inside it has a large outdoor space , weather permitting. The staff were warm and welcoming. A lovely experience . Would advise booking ahead for Sunday lunch.

A beautiful pub with friendly staff and incredible food.

This is a nice place to eat, but the service needs to improve quite a lot. Food was good but took too long to arrive especially the desserts.

We had a beautiful evening at the Thatched Inn, enjoyed the atmosphere and food upstairs. The staff were really helpful and friendly.

Stopped here for a drink, incredibly quaint. Service through a hatch to the beer garden on a hot day. Inside it’s magnificent wood panelling and am open fire. Would be a great local.
