Maiden Arch by Robert Bryant

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.

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.

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.

A welcoming unhurried ambience. Excellent service and as for the meal, it was the best I have had in Devon. I meant to photograph each course but got lost in the tasty deliciousness. Very satisfying and an excellent time. The food and the front of house is absolutely the best. The menu is set and I can recommend the wine pairing for an epicurean experience par excellence. I will return for sure.

We enjoyed the tasting menu and accompanying wine flight. The high quality fresh ingredients made for some delicious, beautiful, and perfectly prepared courses which were well-complemented with some thoughtfully selected wines.

Rob, is an excellent chef! from start to finish the whole experience was amazing. We were there with clients, Rob and his team made a custom 5 course taster menu. The food never failed to surprise and delight. Brilliant atmosphere, brilliant experience and a great night. Definitely worth a visit, supporting a talented local chef and his team!

I don't know where to start everything was faultless. We had the signature menu along with the wine flight. We were greeted by Jason and were taken to our tables upstairs to a nice old rugged room with beams with tables which were neatly laid out and well spaced apart. The signature menu consisted of canapés, followed by a welcome seeded bread, smoked bacon butter and crispy iberico ham with Langham Culver Classic Cuvee Pinot Noir Meunier Chardonnay. Next was tortellini lobster with white Sharpham Dart Valley Reserve Madeleine Angevin. The Ocean with turbot, mussels, cucumber casserole, caviar and herb oil was very tasteful, especially with the glass of Rose D'Anjou Grolleau & Gamay. We went onto the chicken, new season carrot, glazed chicken wing, crispy chicken skin and split chicken sauce. The next was Loin, Shoulder, asparagus, peas, split lamb sauce with a glass of Tokara 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon. We finished with a glass of Casa Silva Late Harvest 2019 Gewurztraminer Semillon Viognier desert wine with mango and coconut passion fruit. The final was chocolate and flowers purely amazing tastes and flavours. Well done Robert and the Team Five stars from us. Kevin and Theresa.....
