Reviews in Barnstaple

Last minute booking on New Years Eve, food was fabulously tasty. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. Lovely pub, would love to visit again.

A excellent freshly cooked meal for myself plus my sister and brother in law from Padstow Cornwall. Inn has a lovely local pub feel with it, we were delighted. Lively evening.

We went for an evening meal for my husbands birthday. There was a good choice of 'traditional' pub food - it arrived quickly despite the restaurant being really busy and the portions were huge! A great atmosphere - and even better there was a superb band playing after our meal. I'd definitely recommend.

The food was delicious! After a quick online booking due to not having decided where we going for dinner, we were arrived and seated. All 3 meals were amazing and we were glad we decided to go there. The staff were also very friendly which always makes a nice atmosphere.

Group of six All loved the food Great location and views Excellent service All will definitely return and recommend

Lovely visit very friendly pub enjoyed our lunch. Nice people.

Lovely location for a good carvery Sunday lunch, deserts were delicious. Staff very attentive and polite, thank you!

A lovely overnight stay. We had dinner in the Snug. The Poltimore pie was delicious. The burger with Somerset brie was also fabulous. Very large portions so unable to finish all the chips. There was a pub quiz on in the Restaurant, and despite the staff being very busy they were very attentive to our needs.

Another wonderful Sunday Roast at the Poltimore Inn. Everything was cooked to perfection, all the staff were lovely and we were treated to stunning views from our table by the window. Highly recommended, I'll be back again soon!

What can we say, great service lovely attentive staff, speedy service and amazing quality and tasty food. Perfect evening, well worth the money. Thank you.

We booked a table for 6 for sunday lunch. We were welcomed by a friendly waitress who took us to our table. Drinks were ordered quickly. Sunday carvery was outstanding. Meat was booked perfect, homemade Yorkshire puddings and veg all cooked beautifully. Puddings were a very generous size too and tasted amazing. Excellent service.

We booked for Sunday lunch, and it was a light airy dining room over looking the garden. Attentive staff and our meal was delicious. Their salted caramel ice cream finished off a very pleasant time at the inn. It is not difficult to find, and there is plenty of parking in the village.

We booked 6 for lunch on Friday 18th Oct and needed wheelchair access. We were welcomed warmly by the Manageress and she was so friendly and helpful and told us a bit about the history of the Inn. We ordered from an extensive menu and the food was freshly prepared. It was wholesome, plentiful and delicious and it was no trouble to them if we needed any changes. We were on holiday for the week but if ever down on Exmoor again we would certainly return for a meal.

Fantastic, lovely food , pub , people. We will return for sure

Excellent service and quality of food. We visited the Poltimore twice in one week and both times were brilliant. The staff were so accommodating and they were so happy that we had the company of three Labradors. We enjoyed the convivial atmosphere and general warmth- we will certainly be back!

Fabulous evening family meal and breakfast with small children. Generous portions, fresh and delicious ingredients, friendly no fuss service, clean and spacious envirnment. Really enjoyed. We've been before and we'll be back again!

We travel to Somerset every year and have returned to The Poltimore Inn for Sunday lunch each time. It is exceptional, very reasonably priced for such a lovely meal. With the carvery serving three choices of meat and the best roast potatoes for miles, you cant go wrong.. I have no hesitation in recommending The Poltimore Inn as a destination pub for a great eating.

We visited as a group of 8 who pre-booked for Sunday lunch. We arrived and were welcomed by the lady behind the bar. Taken to our table and ordered drinks. The food was lovely and the staff who were working were brilliant. We had to wait quite a while, it looked like there were limited number of staff and the staff who were working were having to run around trying to do the jobs. This meant that silly mistakes were done like bringing a J20 that hadn’t been opened, or water with no glasses. We had a chuckle and informed the staff and they quickly resolved the issue. The staff were friendly and helpful and did a great job. The lady serving the food was very friendly. Enjoyed the visit and only thing that could have made it better is for more staff as this would have resolved the issues.
