Reviews in Holsworthy

We stayed nearby and chose to give the Ryden Inn a try for an Evening meal. We were welcomed not only by friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere, but most enjoyably an exciting specials board. We had Lamb Cutletts in Madeira Sauce and Wild Mushrooms and Sea Bass with Crab and Saffron sauce. We were both extremely impressed with our meals.I would go as far as saying it was near perfect, very tasty at a great price. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and would recommend eating here to anyone.

The kings Arms does exactly what it say on the tin.....friendly and welcoming staff, fabulous chef (salmon in white wine sauce over mashed potato and spinach is divine, followed by the white choc and baileys cheesecake....., heavenly!!!!)....the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly...the surroundings are comfortable making the whole experience just wonderful.......shame i live so far away....thanx to Nigel, James, Rachel and Kat......:D

Wow - dropped in for lunch today. Really well looked after. Delicious meal - a chat with the chef and my faddy 4 year old sorted out. Atmosphere clean, fresh and relaxed. Great mix of modern with traditional and some fabulous specials

Wonderful meal, steaks cooked to perfection and fantastic deserts, thoroughly recommend the hot chocolates too. Relaxing and friendly service, will definitely dine there again.

Last July, Saturday at about 8pm, hungry and no place to sleep, we were lucky enough to stop at the Kings Arms, which provided absolutely delicious and gourmet food and a spontaneous help to find rooms for the five of us. Thanks, Nigel, for your kindness and the wonderful dinner and good luck to you!We wish we lived closer so we could enjoy your place often.

Great good, great value. No pie and chips here. The deserts are amazing. Great service including a smile. Nice atmosphere. Good bar aswell. Thank you for a lovely meal and a great evening, if in Devon would certainly go back again.

We have eaten several times here, both lunch times and evenings . The food is fantastic and the service is faultless. I just have to ask and they always have a good choice on the menu for me being wheat/gluten free. Not the usual plain offerings I get at most other places. We love eating here.

This is our second visit in 3 years whilst on holiday in Devon and we actually went out of our way this time to visit the Rydon Restaurant,the staff are very friendly(Husband and wife). Plenty to choose from and specials on the board I personally would recommend the sea bass and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. 9/10

We ate at this restaurant this lunchtime 17.5.07. The portions were good, The sweet portion was enormous, but being in Devon we thought there would have been clotted cream. We will be returning at a future date. Well worth a visit

as i live in town i spend quite a bit of times in the local pubs, and having been in every pub in town the Old Market in undoubtedly has the best atmosphere than the rest. the staff are always smiling and laughing and not only doing a great job but half the time entertaining the customers as well. Definitely the best beer in the town and the new karaoke nights seem to be a hit with the locals, and every one seems to enjoy themselves. great idea and hopefully it will continue as a Market tradition

We were told of this new and wonderful pub that had just opened in Holsworthy, and we should go down and try the carvery. We travelled from Bude, and realised when we got there that the pub was the Old Market Inn. My first thoughts were, I've been here before and did not enjoy it one bit. However I was convinced by my partner to carry on with our plans. We met up with our friends inside the pub and wow what a difference. The welcome was warm and friendly, and the atmosphere was fantastic. We sat on the leather sofas reading the complementary papers until it was time to go through. We walked through to what was a busy yet very well organised restaurant and shown to our table by the courteous and bubbly waitress, and then up to the carvery. With a choice of three meats and endless veg and roast pots, it was hard to make my mind up. After eating what seemed to be a mountain of food we retired back to the bar for coffee and other refreshments. We would like to say a big thank you to the new owners for looking after us so well, and look forward to seeing them very soon. More than likely next Sunday.

I have dined at the Old Market Inn three times now, and each time for a different reason. The first was a few weeks ago with a couple of friends, the atmosphere in the new Derriton Restaurant was warm and inviting. The food was superb and could not vault the waiting staff. With this in mind I booked for the Sunday Carvery, and again I was amazed with the level of service and the quality and quantity of food. The beef was one of the best I have had in for many a year. The last time was only a couple of days ago, at our staff Christmas Party. The staff looked after us very well, and the food was again perfect (only to be expected really). I have tried other restaurants and pubs within the area, and to be honest I think The Old Market Inn tops them all. I hope they continue with the level of food that they are doing, they have set the benchmark for others to follow. They deserve all the praise they get !!!

Well, what can i say! This is a fantastic place to eat, the food was gorgeous, cooked to my liking and very reasonably priced. I had a fantastic waitress who was ever so helpful. The beer was the best i had ever tasted, the bar maid was really friendly & chatty. I recently visited two other establishments in Holsworthy that week, and the Olde Market Inn in my opinion beat them hands down!!! I will definitely be going back there in the future. ONE OF THE BEST PUBS I HAVE EVER BEEN IN!!

Top marks, Have had several meals, Without fault, Freshly cooked - to how i like it, Real food at real value, Nothing's to much trouble & after trying the rest, It's the best food in the town. Oh & You need to try the beer.

This was the first time we have eaten at the Old Market since the new owners have taken over. WOW what a change. The restaurant has now been full refurbished, and the chef is first class. The food and choice was second to none, and the dessert, oh the desserts are to die for.

a true gastro pub in this part of devon. very good with kids.

Very tasty! Came to Devon on holiday and very glad we stumbled across this place. Paid it a visit three times in one week. A must for Chicken Dhansak fanatics - mmmmm!

Simple food cooked very well well at a give away price. Highly recommende
