Menu

A complete menu of Cleverdons from Torridge featuring all 21 menus and drinks can be found here on the menu.

Nestled in the heart of Bideford, this café presents a charming exterior that belies a less inviting interior. While some patrons praise the friendly service and generous portions of traditional fare, others lament the outdated décor and cleanliness. Diners report inconsistencies in table sanitation and food presentation, with issues such as stained tablecloths and neglected surfaces frequently mentioned. Despite some delightful menu offerings, including well-received breakfasts and homemade cakes, concerns about the café's overall upkeep and modernization hinder its potential. A promising spot, yet improvements in ambiance and cleanliness are essential for its revival.

Was simezzz at Cleverdons a mag?
It was the best crab salad we had ever tasted and was very good value. Service was good and the restaurant staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend Cleverdons to anyone visiting Bideford. View all feedback.

What tomjamesr dislikes about Cleverdons:
Came here after walking through Bideford, looks nice from the outside but the inside decor is very dated. We ordered 2 toasted sandwiches and a pot of tea, the bacon on the BLT was lovely but the bread was very cheap which ruined it a little. I think some modernisation and some fresh bread would have gotten this review to 4 stars but unfortunately its the little things that count. The toilets were covered in mold and...

Quite possibly the worst culinary experience ever. Dirty cups, cold food, and staff who quite honestly didn't have a clue. Horrible doesn't quite cut it.

Just a cafe with rather tired decor but they managed to produce two tasty freshly made sandwiches with good granary bread tasty fillings and some nice salad trimmings. Very good value as well so if its just a bite you want in Bideford you could do a lot worse.

Went into this nice little Cafe as we have done on may of our visits to Bideford. Me and the girls enjoyed our Hot chocolates. One little tip and I do not wish to be offensive, but the waitress at the time should have a closer look at her dress. There was a lot more on show that was necessary and that is all I shall say!

When the plate of food came it looked a mess, the food looked dirty,the bacon tasted of other food and the mushroom were dropped in old nasty oil for far to long. There are three Good local butchers around this cafe and they use cheap nasty frozen sausages. Waitress had seriously bad attitude when politely made aware of discontent.

We had lunch in their rear courtyard, the food was very average, the staff a little grumpy and flustered although it did not look that busy
