Best meal I’ve had in a while! Totally worth the money. Every plate was delicious and Chloe was a lovely hostess. Josh is incredibly talented…The chicken butter was insane and the duck was amazing. No words for the lemon sherbet… If you are in the area and can afford a little treat, you must visit ☺️
An absolutely exquisite fine dining experience. Fabulous setting in a beautiful building overlooking the river. Chloe delivers outstanding service nothing is too much trouble. Joshua makes outstanding food, it’s delicate, complex and truly a delight to enjoy. Thank you for looking after us. We will be back.
We have just enjoyed another splendid evening at Number Eight and the food on the November Menu was delicious. I have just seen a review from someone who said the chef can't be bothered with vegetarians. SO WRONG! I do not eat meat but Joshua always looks after me and tonight's meal was absolutely scrummy - who would have thought cauliflower could be exciting but it was! Give it a try - you won't be disappointed.
We have had the privileged of eating in some amazing restaurants around Europe but we can honestly say that our meal and service at Number Eight was one of the best we’ve ever had. The quality, imagination and presentation of the food was faultless. If this doesn’t deserve a Michelin star nothing does!
Another delicious meal, outstanding flavours and great presentation.
As ever very well looked after by Chloe in the relaxed atmosphere of this lovely decorated restaurant. Would definitely recommend it.
Wonderful experience at Number Eight 🥂 The whole evening was so well choreographed and every dish and drink pairing was delightful. A real treat for us and worth every penny. You can really see the attention and passion that Chloe and Josh have put into the restaurant, and I hope that it continues to receive the support and praise it deserves.
How many superlatives can I use.......amazing, different and would be a well deserved Michelin stat? It was spotlessly clean and owner v friendly. The tastes were incredible along with all the little surprises on the way.
Delicious food served in a nice atmosphere. Food was delicious and well presented. Staff were extremely friendly. Such a lovely evening
A really pleasant evening meal the like of which hasn't been available in Bideford or maybe North Devon for a long time. Fine dining isn't for everyone so don't expect a big bowl of chips with your meal and make sure you have a dessert too! Extra little courses make it a very special event, give this place a try!
Fantastic and imaginative food, easy to book but you will have to book a month or two in advance.....
Wonderful experience. Incredible food, superb wine and outstanding service and attention to detail. Thank you !
Really lovely owners! The food is absolutely amazing, really blew us away. Extremely memorable evening and quite possibly the best restaurant in North Devon. Cannot wait to go back!! Perfect for a special occasion.
My wife and I decided on a short break to Devon, and were lucky enough to stumble across Number Eight. Called and found they had a table available during our stay.
We were delighted with both the quality of food and service. The restaurant is run by a young couple "Chloe & Josh" and the fact that they have earned the number 1 restaurant in Bideford is not a surprise. If you're heading to the West Country book a table here, you wont be disappointed. Josh is so inventive the little extras such as the pre-desert wow!! Keep up the good work guys and we'll be back very soon.
No exaggeration when I say tonight I've had the best meal I've had in a very long time at Number Eight. Of all 4 courses I had I don't have a single criticism. Josh and Chloe are faultless and I will recommend the restaurant to everyone I know!
What an experience. The food was totally phenomenal. Chloe is an excellent host. And Joshua's expertise in the kitchen takes the experience to another level. We will definitely be back when in the area again.
Superb food. The big advantages of a taster menu are that you pace your eating, and experience a range of flavours and flavour combinations that you just would not get otherwise. Number Eight is an experience not just food.
Perfect food and service. As positive criticism I would say great for groups but if intimate would need something like background music. Courses need to be explained. Recommended
Another exceptional meal at Number 8!
We thoroughly enjoyed our taster menu and accompanying wines. Thanks Chloe and Josh and good luck in your new premises. 👍🏻
Lovely place with great service and food.
Thanks for a great evening.
