If there’s one thing you can’t fault the manageress of it’s living her truth. We arrived with a couple of friends on a wet and stormy day with our sleeping newborns, having spotted the cafe sign during our walk. And wow what a welcome! We walked inside and found we were the only people onboard and smiled hello to the lady behind the bar. We were met with a very unhappy lady who made absolutely zero effort in hiding her distaste for our arrival. We sheepishly ordered drinks and a portion of “gormet chips” for one of our friends. We enjoyed the retro decor and views out of the windows onto the river, whilst also taking note of the handwritten sign “no screaming kids” and thanked all the Gods t...
We heard about this fabulous cafe through a family member who had found it. It is not hugely advertised that it is there but once stumbled upon, we don't now go anywhere else!! It has a lovely outside space for those lovely sunny days. Great for relaxing, looking at the stunning views of the river and surrounding countryside. If it's a colder, wetter day, the inside area has a fabulous retro feel to it. A fire in the centre of the cabin and an old musical film on the screen, makes it feel warm and inviting and you can stay there for hours without realising! It is nice that ithe inside is kept as a quieter area for those that just want to sit and chill. There is plenty of outside space (some...
Popped in here mid afternoon yesterday on a rainy Saturday. We were visiting Bideford from Bristol, and what a surprise this cafe was. So quirky retro loved the old Angela Lansbury musical on the TV. Ordered some coffee, a hotdog, and a toasted egg bap all delicious. Owners and waiter very friendly. The whole experience was fun, and memorable. It's an absolute gem. An eccentric one off. The boat café is also licensed, and I bet there's a rockin' good night to be had there too. Really loved it.
I was reminded how much I love this cafe when I visited for the first time in years recently. I had a cheese toasty, that was delicious, and a glass of wine. I like to sit indoors and enjoy the quirky decor, thriving pot plants, and vintage films on the TV. I like how it is requested by the owners that inside is a quiet are...no noisy phones or families. This is definitely my first choice of cafe in the area. Unique, unpretentious, relaxed ambience and genuine friendly staff. Reserva una mesa ahora
We parked in the riverside carpark,and then saw the Cafe. We had no idea of what to expect, but decided to give it a go. We otdered the Chinese basket, and had only a short time to wait for our freshly cooked meal It was delicious, and we both decided that the chips were the best we had ever tasted. We spoke to the lady owner,who said that they cooked thing to order..We had lovely views of the river and of East the Water. We shall definitely call again.
The food at this restaurant is excellent, delicious, and affordably priced. Sitting on the outdoor deck, you can enjoy the view of mullet swimming by and various sea birds feeding - cormorants, egrets, storks, oystercatchers, geese. It is absolutely wonderful to watch. My family and I go almost every weekend and always look forward to our next visit. Anete and Bob are fantastic hosts.
What a hidden gem right up our alley! We love quirky places and the service was fast. We timed it just right to avoid the rain by sitting inside. The food was cheap and delicious, with a fry-up costing only five pounds and a cup of tea priced at £1.50 – perfect prices. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. The meal filled us up nicely for our walk to Appledore on the coast path.
Ramp to walk onto deck. Lovely view of bideford. Clean and tidy. One way system inside. Open deck for outside sitting. Beautiful interior decorations. Friendly staff. Good price of food. Coffee was a machine operated and a bit watery which could be improved. Food came out in good time and good portion size to be fulfilled but not stuffed. We both had a lovely fry up.
