Reviews in Devon

Three of us just spent the weekend at the Bearslake, and came away feeling sad we were going back to the real world. The place is full of old world charm, comfort, good food, ale & wine. All served up by a family that have been obviously born with the 'friendly' gene! Evening meals were plentiful and tasty and everything freshly cooked - the menu appears to change daily depending on what is available. Breakfast is delicious with proper fried bread (not the greasy deep fried stuff you quite often get). The rooms where very cosy and comfortable and we really felt welcome. The owners always found time to chat with a smile and couldn't do enough for us. Defintely want to go back!

Since the new management took over in Spring 2004, our former favourite restaurant has become our favourite once again! The best little bar in North Devon, coupled with superb and imaginative food and an intimate, candlelit atmosphere. We love it.

Go and try the Pizza now! Go on; get up from your seat and go! This is the perfect place for group bookings! Pizza dominates the menu, but that? all you need really! Wonderful atmosphere for a kid? party right up to a works leaving do! Can't go wrong!

The big sheep is a family park and their restaurants in the play area. There is a good variety of food at good prices. You can let your kids play while you order and then when it is ready they come down to a tasty dinner or lunch. However the tea and coffee taste a little of hotdogs. The service was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was buzzing.

What can I say? The family and I went, very good food, the staff are very friendly I can? say anymore. Alan Parker

It? hard to believe that anywhere outside of Thailand can offer such incredibly delicious food accompanied by a genuine friendly service. It puts all the other Thai restaurants I have tried to shame.

We went for a meal at the Thai Orchid recently and were very impressed. The food was well presented with a huge choice of authentic dishes etc. The restaurant itself is authentically decorated and has a very pleasant ambience. We enjoyed our meal and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

fantastic food in a beautiful location will not go anywhere else when i go on holiday to Devon. Highly recommended.

This restaurant was very lively. Food was of high quality and service was really good. I was impressed with the menu that was a diverse "TEX MEX" selection. My personal opinion is that the menu was superb a must visit!

Excellent food in a nice restaurant overlooking the huge garden at the back of the pub.The garden is ideal if you have children because there is a large safe area for them and there are lots of playthings for them also there are some guinea pigs iin a large cage to look at. the view is outstanding looking out over the hills.The staff were friendly and the service was excellent.

A tiny vegetarian and vegan restaurant in the heart of Exeter which means it gets packed, especially at lunch time. Great choice of healthy and tasty recipes from around the world, good sized portions, good value and a relaxed atmosphere

It was a friday night and it was quite busy but still i was satisfied by the way i was treated

Now in new hands-August 2004 The food and beer is much better than the style of building. well worth a visit. With Dominique's cooking you will not go hungry!

This restaurant is outstanding in every department and have enjoyed each time i visit. Has an authentic vibrant mexican atmosphere and the girl with the glasses (name?? sorry) is a delight to be served by. The enchilladas are delicious. Highly recommended.

The best fish and chips I have ever tasted. However the restaurant needs some updating as unfortunately they have tried to retain some traditionalism with the decor and the waiters uniforms etc. I believe that Harry Ramsden's should look at changing their overall appearence. The waiters uniforms for example are rather over the top and could be changed to something more appropriate. It can be swealtering due to the lack of a/c. The food was first class as was the service but that should be expected for the amount charged in all honesty.

Superb food served in a friendly efficient manner. Have been now several times and will go again

If you want chinese food then definately come here. There are lots of good value set menus to choose from, delicious dishes served sizzling hot. Its a great place to go when you fancy something nice to eat whilst shopping in town. If you are more adventurous then you could ask for the chinese menu which I'm sure one of the staff could help recommend something to tantalise you tastebuds. It also seems popular with the oriental community too and they love their food!

This is one superb little Thai restaurant. It did not take too long before the food arrived and when it did, it was delicious. They have such a good menu its hard to decide. If you like fish then go for the whole thai fish dish, it was so tasty and disappeared very quickly. Its a small restaurant so booking is advised. We went as a four but its ideal to go as a couple as its cosy and warm.
