Jacks Eatery - North Devon

I went here with my family a year or so ago and 2 years before that and I loved the atmosphere, the team were lovely and friendly. The food was brilliant! I’m gutted that I’ve come from wales to visit again and it’s closed for maintenance until the 10th Feb. Hope to try visit again next year now

A group of friends and I were having drinks in the beer garden so decided to stay for food (our first time under the changed management/ ownership). The staff are always very friendly and welcoming, and this visit was no different. All food was ordered at the same time but split into two to pay, unfortunately another table was served between our two tickets so some of our table were halfway through their food when the second set of meals arrived. The food was good a few little items could have been better however, overall it was a good meal. One person had hunters chicken which was tasty but due to the chicken being butterflied it was slightly over cooked/ dry but was still edible and had good flavour. The only other thing that springs to mind is that the bottom of the soft boa rolls were hard and couldn’t be eaten. Overall, a nice meal and would definitely eat there again.

The food was amazing, especially the Tennessee BBQ spare ribs. They were cooked perfectly and are my favorite dish. The restaurant also had a great selection of beers, lagers, and ciders.

There is no service down in this place, also not very kid friendly , but as I’m here let me get to the main issue the food was disgusting especially their so called “Mac and cheese” it didn’t taste like cheese at all, very very watery and no flavour , the prices for the portion sizes are an absolute ridiculous. My daughter didn’t even touch her whole meal and when I asked to speak to the manager about a refund as we had already paid a stupid amount for all the food all he had to say was “no t’s not our fault you don’t like it”, no one came over once to check how any of our food was or to clear all the plates, this place needs to clearly hire more staff and learn more about customer service and how to be professional! We will never be wasting our time on this place again. We was definitely better off eating at the chippy next door.

This charming pub has a lovely beer garden filled with sunlight. I enjoyed a delicious pint of Sandford Orchards traditional cider and found the staff to be friendly. Plus, there is also a pool table available. I highly recommend this place.
