We had a weeks family holiday in Bude and were astonished by the poor quality and poor value for money on offer from other establishments in town. We were however lucky to get a table at Bank on our last night. Superb food, excellent quality ingredients, good choice and portion sizes, attentive service, quirky surroundings right next to the river, SUPER dog friendly (dogs welcomed through the whole restaurant, they even offered dog beds !! Which is something I have never seen anywhere ❤️👌), we have been trying to think of anything they could improve on and have drawn a blank 😂. Well done !!!!
So many wonderful things to eat, amazing Cornish Tapas. We had one of the outside booths which seats four in an amazingly decorated private hut, all the food is a Cornish twist on tapas and the ingredients are sourced locally. I would be there every week if I lived locally.
Dog friendly as well throughout the restaurant they provide water bowls and mats for them. Even our large Newfie is welcomed.
Booked in advance for myself as a late birthday treat as an end to an intensive week of surfing. Wanted to come to this place last time I was in Bude but didn't realise how popular it is. Well, after finally going there, I can see why! Starting with the atmosphere is rather chill, small but comfortable. There is air-conditioning, so hot days shouldn't be a bother. Friendly, welcoming staff right from start to finish, cool water waits at the table which is a nice to those of us that like a sip before hand. Now, onto the food; portions are a little large, so solo diners beware! I opted for 3, could have fit 4, but didn't want to fall into a food coma, HA! Starting with the pan-fried mushrooms, they were so more-ish! Seasoned well, not over done, i could have polished a couple of portions of those by itself. The calamari was fried to perfection. Only slight downfall was they had a little too much seasoning. A slight dusting would have been perfectly fine. Onto the duck with green beans, beans were nicely done, still had a slight crunch to them, and the duck did seem a little dry on the corners. The mocktail was nice, not too sweet, generous in size, and refreshing!
Overall, nice food, and i'd love to return with some company and try more dishes!
