In August in Croyde, every restaurant should be packed out and this one wasn't. It's a shame as the service was friendly and efficient and the food was decent. The lamb with roast potatoes and vegetables was very tasty. The whitebait starters were great.It's seems little more expensive than the neighbouring restaurants and it's hard to justify the extra because they are good too (if you can get a table) . It also lacks atmosphere because it is quite empty even though it's small. It would be great for a romantic twosome on a special date but that isn't what's happening in Croyde in August.

Been eating with Sarah and Paul since their last restaurant and The Antidote is really showing their identity with sleek decor and a beautiful atmosphere. Sarah is a wonderful, charming and accommodating host and Paulâs cooking is to die for. Restrained, focused and full of deliciousness. Canât wait to come back. The sea bream in particular was an exquisite dish!

Started off with a speciality gin and tonic, chosen from several on the menu, which was so competitively priced for a restaurant. All of the food, and we had three course each, was beautifully prepared and the service was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Other reviews are glowing and rightly so.The fish dishes are well executed and presented.The wine list is short and fairly priced.Only suggestion would be for the restaurant to amend the menu if slight changes are made to any of the dishes.

Had the most amazing meal hear while staying in braunton. Saturday was fully booked so booked a table for the Sunday and glad we did. I had king prawns in garlic which was huge, followed by mullet on risotto that was on the special board absolutely beautiful great taste full of flavour, Greg the owner was helpful friendly attentive in every way, even recommended our wine. I remember saying to Greg compliments to the chef as our meal was so nice, he took me to meet the chef ( great touch).I know heâs not been there long so I wish you all the best Greg you worked extremely hard that night.Kevin from KentHi Kevin, glad to hear you enjoyed your dining experience with us. Dan is an amazing Chef and we are lucky to have him. Glad Greg and the team made you fell so welcome, hopefully we'll see you again soon.

We visited for dinner on our last but one night during a week stop in Woolacombe and wish we had come earlier, so that we could have squeezed in another visit.We loved the atmosphere. The main dining room was lovely, airy and spacious which was a great contrast to some of the packed pubs and restaurants we had visited during the week.The service was fantastic, with all staff being formal yet polite and friendly.The quality of food was excellent. I had the pork belly, which was delicious and plentiful, and the duck carpaccio salad, which was tasty - although a small detail the fresh raspberries we're missing as described in the menu which was a slight disappointment. The childrens meals we're also great, it took a lot of willpower not to eat my daughters fish fingers - freshly made with huge chunks of flaky white fish and crispy batter - no Captain Birdseye here!Deserts we're also delicious.My only constructive feedback would be around the portion sizes of the children's menu which just seemed massively inconsistent. The fishfinger meal was huge, it would have served an adult - this was for our toddler so was way too much, which we're not complaining about. However the tagliatelle our 9 year old picked from the children's menu, whilst tasty, was a really small portion. Considering the main ingredient is as cheap as chips (well pasta) it wouldn't have hurt to increase the portion size here. The waiter recommended bringing the childrens meals out with our starters - the logic being that they usually take forever to eat their meals. However on this occasion the tagliatelle was polished off in about 5 minutes there was that little of it, before we had even finished our starters, so our daughter was sat bored and still hungry - we ended up ordering her an additional garlic bread, which we had to ask for again and this eventually turned up after about 25 minutes.Likewise the childrens deserts - our eldest's sticky toffee pudding was reduced in size, whilst the Eton mess our toddler had was huge and most of it went to waste.Again this is just constructive feedback as overall we really enjoyed our evening and the food. It was very reasonably priced too, pretty much in line with some of the local pubs in the village but much better quality.
