Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Bideford

There is a great view across to Padstow and the possibility to access it via the ferry. My wife had deep fried squid (fabulous) and a vegetarian madras which she enjoyed. I had crab & crayfish arancini which had almost no rice but full of crab & crayfish. It was excellent served with a tasty mayo. For my main I had Thai hake with bok choy and noodles. The hake was cooked to perfection which is rare. It was moist, flakey and waxy - no dry stringy stuff here. The noodles, bok choy and sauce were great but could have been helped by a little seasoning. We really enjoyed our lunch and would recommend it to anyone.

Been twice now and always excellent , the staff are lovely , the food is great and the building is lovely.

We enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch today. The food, service and environment were superb - we will definitely return.

Not somewhere we can afford on a regular basis, but definitely worth it for a special treat, everything about Gidleigh is quality.

Drinks were lovely and it’s a beautiful setting. I have no issue with ordering at the bar but as there was seven of us, I think really, particularly as it was almost empty, they should have brought our drinks over to us. But still, overall a lovely time.
