About Robert Bryant at Maiden Arch

With its stone exterior stretching over three stories and its quaint leaded windows, Maiden Arch is one of the most recognisable buildings in Barnstaple. The listed building is on Maiden Street – so called because of the maidens who used to frequent the area on the lookout for sailors – and on the ground floor is a welcoming bar area with a spiral staircase leading up to the impressive dining room with its timber beams and high vaulted ceilings. Chef-patron Robert Bryant first donned his chef whites at the tender age of 16 and learned his trade in kitchens across Europe and the US. His Modern British menus change with the seasons but are always built around the best suppliers and produce, locally sourced where possible. Two menus are available: The Exmoor Menu at lunchtimes Thursday to Saturday and on Wednesday evenings and the Signature Menu on Thursday to Saturday evenings. Allergies can be catered for with notice. Maiden Arch also has an extensive wine list and the bar is stocked with premium spirits, beers and soft drinks.

We have dined here many times since Rob first set up shop in Barnstaple and also had the home delivery service during COVID. Rob is an immensely talented chef whose food stands comparison with any Michelin starred restaurant I have eaten in. His particular gifts are not restricted to creating perfect food but he also matches the elements on the plate to form an ideal marriage and each dish on the tasting menus flow seamlessly one after the other. Fine dining at its best!

Wow. What an amazing experience we had at the Maiden Arch for my husband's birthday. It truly is a special place to dine. We had the Exmoor menu & the food was out of this world, just the correct amount on each plate & each mouthful was delicious. We did the wine flight & it really was worth it, it absolutely made sense to each dish. The service was spot on & would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a fine dining experience for that special occasion.

The food at Maiden Arch is truly sublime. Robert is so talented at balancing flavours and creating dishes bursting with flavour. The presentation is beautiful but definitely isn’t style over substance - there’s never anything on the plate that doesn’t need to be there or that is just there to make it look pretty. I almost don’t want to review Maiden Arch in case everyone discovers it!
