Restaurants in Bideford

Reserved a table for my son's birthday. My wife arrived with a birthday cake and asked if we could keep it in the kitchen for after our meal. With a dead straight face the manager said 'We do not allow outside food into our kitchen' . This man was so serious my wife thought he was joking but not so and that is where our dining experience started to nosedive. One person in our party had to pull out at the last minute and because of the empty seat nobody came over to serve us or ask if we would like drinks. Nothing. So after 15 minutes we had to walk up to the bar to ask for some menus and it was pointed out that our reservation was for 6 not 5. When the manager came over to take our order my wife apologised for not letting them no about the missing person in the party only for him to reply ' Well it doesn't take much to pick up the phone'. The cheek of it. If it wasn't for the fact it was my son's 12th birthday I would have upped and left. This man has a serious lack of people skills and comes across as rude and arrogant. When my son asked for a slice of lemon in his glass of water he rolled his eyes as if we were making his life difficult. The food on the other hand could not be faulted. Absolutely delicious! Pity really as we will never be going back.
