Red Lion Harbour - Torridge

The restaurant is very unwelcoming and not recommended as there is no parking available and you have to navigate an extremely steep hill to get there. The service was unhelpful and subpar. We ordered some snacks and drinks, which were served in plastic containers and glasses, unexpected and disappointing. The bar is lacking and prices are too high. Overall, we rated the food, service, and atmosphere all a 2 out of 5.

While visiting the village, I believe there is only one place to get a hot meal. The food may be a bit expensive, but it was definitely worth it as part of our day trip. I opted for a half portion of fish and chips, which was more than enough for me. The fish was incredibly fresh, the chips were well-cooked, and the tartar sauce was delicious. Overall, it was the perfect lunch by the coast. The service was for takeout, and the meal type was lunch.

Tried to book table this evening and the person I spoke to was rude and unhelpful. I guess they think their venue is so famous they dont need to be polite.

Currently serving a takeaway only service due to Covid however there were very long waits for food after queuing to order. Had to wait outside for over 45 minutes for 2 sandwiches and chips. Had I known the wait would be so long I would not have ordered, as it meant we spent the majority of our time in the harbour waiting outside the Red Lion, which took the shine off our visit a bit. Food was very tasty when it finally arrived though.

Very unwelcoming, not advised there is no parking and you have to walk up and down an extremely steep hill. Awful attitude from the wardens, feel like you’re in “their territory” and not welcome. Very limited menu for lunch and terrible location.
