Duke Of York - Torridge

Phenomenal 'Duke of Pork ' belly pork with stuffing and black pudding on mash with lots of lovely gravy and a rarely found steak and kidney pudding make a superb Friday night meal. We had a very enjoyable evening in this quirky but very traditional pub.

We went here for an evening meal and what a lovely cooked steak we enjoyed,would definitely return if ever in area thoroughly enjoyed our well cooked meals

We were lucky enough to find the Duke on a drive through Devon and returned the following night with the family and had an excellent meal in very nice surroundings .

We went here for a meal on a Saturday evening we were expecting good things from the reviews etc But we ordered a steak and a special of Camembert! The steak was tasteless stringy tuf and inedible the chips were just frozen chips not even cooked to be crispy so soggy chips tasteless steak The Camembert was very ripe before they cooked it so was good but it came with 4 slices of a French stick and half a tomato some lettuce and two slices of cucumber!! That was a main course! Oh and a small pot of dip We then had pudding All supposed to be home made the amount of time we had to wait you would have thought they were making them we wish we hadn’t bothered the mars bar cheesecake was tasteless and the apple crumble was all soggy no crispy bits from the oven as it had been made in a microwave! We won’t be back It took ages to be served food awful ages for the bill which we took to the bar and had to stand around for ages as no one there Thanks but no thanks

For once in my life I really regret ordering fish and chips. That sounds like a bad start for this review but it is not. the fish and chips there are just to die for, wonderful fish cooked in a lovely batter and huge, there are two sizes to pick and I picked the large and was defeated. The reason I think infact I know I made a mistake was I wanted to order the Steak and Kidney suet pudding but was put off by the 30 minute waiting time. BIG MISTAKE , the table behind us ordered for the full table and what a superb pudding it was. I asked the guests how good it was and they said superb as evidenced by their clear plates. I love this pub and its one of our first choices when we visit the area. Great staff , great food and a real old fashioned pub. I am not a drinker but they have a great selection of ales and ciders on offer which the fishermen in the pub said were great. Loved the whitebait starter and my wife loved her gammon main. Overall a really super pub
