"The pub has lovely new owners who deliver a really nice welcome. It has also had an extensive makeover recently. I just have to write about the food! I ordered a rump steak, cooked blue. When it arrived it had tue wow factor. The steak...was a great size and cooked to perfection. It arrived with home made onion rings in a lovely golden batter. Many onion rings have nothing inside but these had good rings of onion inside. The chips were also home made from potato. Large size with some crunch on the outside but plenty of potato left. The mushrooms were offered as plain, with garlic, or with garlic and Stilton cheese stuffing. I went for the garlic and Stilton. They were delicious! The meal also came with peas. There was an option for sauces as well. The cost of this was £14.95. In honesty, I have paid upwards of £20 in some “quality” restaurants, both locally and in Plymouth and not had such great food, so don’t be put off by the cheap price. My food was excellent. Whilst we were there we saw homemade pizzas delivered to a table and they looked fab also. Looked to me like even the base was homemade fresh. We saw numerous customers served whilst there and all let out a wow when their food arrived. Billy (the owner chef) has such a great smile when the food is delivered and so many compliments come from it. The pub is now full of pleasant customers and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, as are the staff. Billy cooks on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so great food is guaranteed those days for sure. Am going back tomorrow to try the Sunday roast. Can’t wait. Thanks for the lovely evening and food!"

"My girlfriend and I dined at this restaurant on a Monday evening, which is not typically a busy day. However, we arrived at 6:30pm and it was the last available table! The front of house manager greeted us warmly and handled a small issue with our reservation effortlessly. We were seated in a cozy area and offered drinks while our table was prepared. We quickly received glasses of Prosecco along with the menus, and they asked about any allergies—I mentioned my dairy intolerance which they noted. Soon after, we were led to our table with a beautiful view of the estuary, where our wine was waiting. A lovely amuse bouche and bread (with butter and oil for me) were served to start. My partner enjoyed a sweet potato foam, while I had a smoked salmon and caper dish (dairy-free). Both were delicious. Our smoked mackerel starters were equally delightful, one with a dairy foam and one without. Our main courses arrived in a timely manner and were both beautifully presented—roast cod for me and chicken breast for my partner. The dishes were all delicious. We finished our meal with an Irish coffee and a panna cotta, both of which were superb. Overall, it was an outstanding dining experience with impeccable service. Many Michelin-starred restaurants could take notes from the Old Quay House. We can't wait to return.

"Oh dear. Having passed this place many times we decided we might give it a go. It was sunny and so we sat outside. There is very little space between the café’s curtilage and the pavement, enough room to get in four or five picnic type tables, a couple of which had umbrellas. Otherwise, the area is untroubled by any kind of decoration. The form is that you go inside and order and that they bring your order out to you. Inside I was greeted – or more accurately not greeted by an unsmiling lady whose mood may have been occasioned by the inconvenience of having to break off from her conversation to take an order. Or maybe it was caused by the prospect of doing something about the very visible large pile of used plates and crockery waiting for someone to wash them up. Our coffee arrived fairly promptly accompanied by a rather dismal apricot Danish, which may have been seeing daylight for the third or fourth time that week. The coffee was passable, but in a resort town like Bude the bar is set fairly high and passable doesn’t really do it. I don’t know if the place is run by its owners, but in the unlikely event that they are reading this, here are some tips. Put a bit of thought into making the outside more appealing. If you can afford it, put a palm tree in one of the corners or at very least get some greenery. And while you’re about it, junk those picnic tables. Many of the elderly and the disabled can’t use them and anyway you’re not a country pub. And whether the place is run by you or your staff – smile at the customers. They’ve got what you’re after – money. The catch is they’ve got choice too."
