Feedback
Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was disappointing. Despite there being only three other tables occupied and several staff members, it took an hour from the time we sat down at 4:45 to receive our food. The wait between ordering drinks and food was about 30 minutes. Initially, we were told that a topping for my burger was not available and would be substituted, but then we were informed that there were no frickles either. It was frustrating to hear that they had run out of these items when they have access to suppliers and supermarkets nearby. When our burgers finally arrived, my plate was excessively greasy with fingerprints all over it. The burgers were dry and overcooked, to the point where even the kids couldn't eat their cheeseburgers as they were too tough. However, our dogs seemed to enjoy them when we brought them home. It is a real shame, as we were hoping to discover a great burger restaurant in North Devon. I mentioned my disappointment to the waitress as we left, and she agreed that the wait was unacceptable. Despite the issues with the food, the staff were friendly. It seems that a high volume of deliveries from services like Deliveroo and Uber Eats may have been keeping them occupied.
The food at this restaurant is fantastic and reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.
The burger deal was advertised as coming with a large portion of chips, but it was only enough to feed four young children. I shared my feedback with the staff, but unfortunately received no response at all.
What an amazing afternoon lunch spent here! I was lucky enough to receive an invite and I couldn’t fault anything at all. The portion sizes were HUGE (see photos for evidence) all of the food was delicious and I cannot wait to go back. So much choice to choose from as well and you will never leave hungry. The staff were really friendly and accommodating also. Thanks for the great food
