The Royal George - Pub in Devon
Irsha Street, Appledore, EX39 1RY, Devon
England,
United Kingdom
There’s a pleasing informality to Sascha and Garth’s re-invention of the Royal George. Fresh food, skilfully cooked is at the heart of the affair - inventive dishes sit alongside some classics - but you don’t have to dress up, there are good options for your children and it’s fine to bring the dog. The menu changes monthly and is brimming with variety; you might get handpicked Brixham crab with pickled kohlrabi, followed by tandoori spiced fish with bombay potatoes. There's Exmoor lamb, local pheasant, a great burger and good vegetarian options; good wines and a range of beers, with a weekly changing local guest ale. Walkers have the coast path, cyclists the Tarka Trail; surfers nearby Westward Ho! and Saunton; fisher-people can book a trip from the quay. Sandy Instow is across the estuary, so is Tapeley Park; Rosemoor Garden is half an hour’s drive.

- Appledore is the most doggy friendly place we know! We allow well behaved dogs in two of our rooms, and in our downstairs restaurant.
- We're right on the South West Coast Path, follow the coast round for incredible views and beautiful walks.
- We love to support small local businesses including breweries, and you'll see an ever changing list of beers available during your stay, showcasing the finest talent from around.
- In the summer our local brass band band play on the promenade every Monday, and the RNLI train on a Tuesday, you can see the RNLI going out whilst enjoying a delicious meal in our Restaurant.
- The stunning Lundy Island, with its 4,000 years of human history, is a wonderful day trip from local port Bideford. The Island's own supply ship "MS Oldenburg" which transports day passengers retains much of its original charm.
