I really can't praise this restaurant enough. Our party of 10 received a very warm welcome (from Caroline, I believe) who sat us in a most beautiful room, a bit like sitting in a friend's sitting room. We were given a welcoming cocktail and small welcoming bites which we all loved, followed by our starters. we were all looking at each other in shear delight at the wonderful tasting food, it's a bit pointless describing what they were as I believe they constantly change, nobody was disappointed. Then onto some of the best cooked mains we've had anywhere. Again, not a disappointment anywhere, we all loved the food. The pear tarte that followed, well, the best I've ever had!! Our party was to celebrate a 70th birthday, we all left knowing we'd chosen well and we will go back some day soon when are in the area. Prices are modest for the quality on offer, it doesn't get better than this, our thanks to Instow Barton

Weâve been visiting Croyde for many years and for the last few years, weâve had evening meals at the Williams Arms in Braunton both in the carvery and in the bar and have always enjoyed the food. However, we didnât know that they are open for breakfast in the mornings and at a very reasonable price of £5.95 for a full English including toast. A hearty breakfast and good friendly service. Itâs a bigger and better breakfast than the Thatch in Croyde and at £3 cheaper, well worth the short 10 minute journey, saving £18 as there were six of us. Next time down in Croyde, we know where to go for breakfast.

Blue Groove in Croyde, North Devon, oozes unique personality and refuses to be put in a box. Take that classic beachy style and add a dose of sophistication, take a cosmopolitan feel and place it among North Devon charm, take a burger and make it gourmet,

We had a great meal here on Sunday night, it was just what we needed after a very wet and windy weekend! The welcome we received on arrival was very warm and friendly, the service was the same and the food was delicious. The cheese burger was homemade and smothered in cheese and barbecue sauce. It was accompanied by crispy onion rings and was very filling. The chicken curry was excellent (much better than the one I cook at home, or so my husband informed me :)! We come to this restaurant for breakfast when we visit each year so it was nice to have a longer stay and be able to sample the dinner menu. There was a real buzz about the restaurant and we really enjoyed our evening - thanks guys!

Highly recommended we dropped in around 9 midweek and were made v welcome - last orders for info are at 9:30 Excellent service I enjoyed the scampi and my friend similarly the large cod both served with all the trimmings and washed down with excellent coffee and tea. Prices are fair for the high quality of food and the very pleasant surroundings in which to enjoy a meal. There is a well stocked bar too including some Cornish navy rum which is worth trying! Enjoy.

Home cooked locally sourced breakfast, meals and snacks. Freshly made smoothies, juices and excellent coffee. Private hire availble. Fully licensed.

Waited at the front of the queue for 10-15 mins without even being looked at or someone saying "we'll be with you in a minute". Eventually ordered two fry ups and had to wait a ridiculous 45 mins for each. The bacon and eggs were burnt/ overdone which was also quite annoying. May have caught them on a bad day but not impressed and would avoid to be honest.We are very sorry to hear of your bad experience at Wild Thyme. It sounds like you visited on a very busy day. We are all trained to let the customer know that "we'll be right with you". Again we are sorry you didn't get this response. Our food is freshly prepared to order and on a busy day you should have been informed that the wait would be longer than usual. It is a shame that your breakfast was not to your liking, if you had told us at the time we would have been happy to offer an alternative or refund.

Under current ownership since June 2010, this charming British Pub in the pretty village of Georgeham is less than 2 miles from some of the best surfing beaches in the UK, and on the doorstep of Exmoor National Park and the rest of beautiful North Devon.

Nothing above average here; the menu reads well but the dishes don't really live up to their description. I had a lovely piece of fish served a very over-powering "cassoulet" not a bean in sight! Even in a country pub, does the landlord really need to sit in his shorts eating his dinner on the patron's side of the bar when the service was lacking. Shame 'cos it's a great location and in the word of the ol' school teacher, could do better!
