The Drift Restaurant in Torridge

We visited for lunch and had a Whitebait salad and Cream tea! It was lovely! We booked later for dinner and had the sea bass special and Cajun chicken.The service was great, it was a very welcoming and inviting restaurant. We were sad we only found it on our last night as we had disappointing food elsewhere. We will definitely be back and thank you!

Food was excellent, very tasty and beautifully presented. Staff very friendly, however the service was slow, but this could be because everything was cooked fresh.

Nice and clean, not much atmosphere or vibe. Long wait for mediocre food and eye wateringly expensive. I would rate the experience as feeding rather than dining

Very friendly family run restaurant who were happy to accommodate 6 adults and a toddler on a busy evening. Good variety on the menu and wirh an open kitchen you can see how your dinner is prepared. Also do takeaway.

Over an hour waiting for food which really fit was it was is overpriced. Staff aren't really friendly sat with empty glasses for the majority of the hour whith out anyone coming over. Sat and a grubby table with old crusted food on the placemat even my napkin was stuck to the table. When our food finally did come out they weren't even served together, a while table next to us was served between our meals. Plates were just put on the table as the waitress said nothing and walked away. As for the food, honestly the portions are small and I've had better tasting and less watery ready meals from tesco.

Ordered pizza as takeaway. Perfectly cooked, delicious fresh ingredients, authentic. One of the best pizzas I've tasted this side of Naples, thank you!

Top notch pizza. Wonderful ambiance. Very competitivly priced. Highly recommended.Well looked after by a very attentive owner who waited on our every need. Lovely experience.

Went in for lunch on a cloudy Friday. Welcome shelter from the wind. Really enjoyed the food , delicious. Ordered pizza all round. Came out quickly and tasted wonderful. Specials were offered and sounded lovely. Friendly staff , accommodated our wheelchair user with ease. Nicely laid out inside and good decor. Would very happily go back again.

Staff were lovely but on a rainy Thursday in March they were clearly not the A team: the pizza took ages to arrive (we were the first people in the restaurant but they were clearly doing a good delivery trade) and it really wasn’t great pizza despite the wood oven. Like supermarket pizza cooked in a too-cold oven which, for £15 a pop, is not what I was hoping for. Could see them rolling the dough with a rolling pin which even I know is not how you make pizza dough!

I used their delivery service and never again. Good was cold, overpriced and was not restaurant standard. My delivery was over an hour late and when I kept ringing to check what was happening the staff lied to me three times by saying “it’s leaving the restaurant now”. Dining in experience is probably better but I do not recommend their poverty delivery service
