Maiden Arch by Robert Bryant

The most exquisite food we have ever eaten. Dining here was absolutely joyful. Not only did each dish look like individual pieces of art, the flavours were so incredible we were all beaming with delight with every mouthful. Rob was an outstanding chef and host and it was lovely to have him explain each dish with so much pride and passion. A wonderful experience, we will definitely be returning. Much gratitude.

This restaurant surpassed my expectations in terms of the food. Every course was a work of art and tasted delicious. I was a lone diner but was made to feel very welcome by the lovely waiting staff which is often not the case. I’m here for 4 weeks and will definitely be back before I leave.

Fabulous atmosphere and service. The food was absolutely delicious. Every course was adapted to our culinary requirements. The wine flight was good with each course. I would avoid the oyster next time, just not to our taste. We gave it a good go but no, not again. Not expensive for the quality of the food.

We were booked in for the same night as the one star review. Robert rang us very apologetically to say that they couldn't open as he had to take his child to hospital. We would have done the same in putting family first in an emergency. We booked for a week later and had a wonderful time. The food, wine and service met our expectations, which was to dine at one of the best places in the Southwest. We will definitely be going back.

I had an exceptional dining experience with Robert, one that felt truly personal and memorable. Robert's passion, dedication, and deep knowledge of the local area shine through in every dish he creates. The food was flawless, each bite a testament to his skill and creativity. The service struck the perfect balance—friendly, informative, and thoroughly professional.

You know what, very sad to leave this review... nothing to do with the food, wouldn't know what that tastes like to be honest. This review is to do with the pretentious of when you make a booking here and they say if you cancel within 48hrs they will charge you £45 per person... But on the other hand it seems it absolutely fine for them to cancel the booking with three hours to go without much of an apology or an alternative place for us to eat that night....I'm sure your food is great Robert but your customer service and attitude stinks... be warned people, or at least have a back restaurant in mind when this happens to you 👎👎👎👎👎

Amazing food and amazing service. The Saturday lunch we had was well priced and I have to say was a great introduction to the restaurant and we will 100% be back in a couple of weeks for the signature menu. I’d strongly encourage all locals to go here as especially in the off season we need to keep amazing places like this open. Also the fish and ox cheek were absolutely amazing.

Fabulous dining experience - beautifully prepared food in a relaxed atmosphere. First rate service from the waiting staff. The chef (Rob) is clearly passionate about what he does and has created something truly unique in North Devon. A real gem of a restaurant that should be top of your list for a special occasion.
