What User dislikes about The Glorious Oyster:
I ordered a dozen oysters to-go and received them unshucked, along with some tea. They also provided a variety of sauces and a lemon. The oysters were packed with ice to keep them cold during the trip. The service was excellent, and the staff was very friendly! View all feedback.

This hidden gem was discovered by my younger sister, and what a find it was! Since mid-October, the weather has been fantastic, enhancing our overall experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the warm atmosphere. The menu is constantly changing, and everything we tried was very fresh. We started with the lobster bisque, which was delicious, though not quite like the lobster bisque from Santa Barbara. We also ordered a platter of buckwheat and whelks. The bucks were beautifully presented, and the whelks were quite large, though a bit chewy. The lobster bisque had a nice crumb, with more brown meat than white. Overall, the experience was both baroque and quirky. A tip: try to avoid sitting near the road, as the dust from passing cars can make things a bit gritty.

This charming little seafood hut offers a delightful selection of locally sourced dishes. It's conveniently located in the parking lot as you enter Instow, right before the beach, making it easy to spot.

Amazing restaurant on the sea almost the beach. it is actually protected from the winds and in an ideal location (besides the dunes). they serve both drinks and eating. the menu is very fresh and often updated. the krabbenburger was amazing and very tasty. they can feel the product quality was top notch. as a side, they can crack with edgy eating, which are also very good. I would definitely recommend this place for every seafood lover. terrace is also a great plus if the sun seems.

Can't wait to go back. Food fresh delicious and so tasty. So good went back next day for afternoon drink and seafood.

This Rustic Seafood Beach shack serves an Award winning seasonal Menu. Local Oyster, Devon Crab, Appledore Mussels, local ice cream , homemade cakes and local cakes, Bude Roasted Sabian's Coffee and much more. With Local Produce and Substainability at the heart of its ethos. Tucked into the Sand dunes of Ìnstow Devon, with plent of outside seating, parking and further parking a stroll away. Happy helpful Staff, fully Licenced bar and takeaways options.
