The Wrecker's Retreat — Restaurant in Torridge District

Myself, my partner and our 2 children visited here last week. Food was good although chips were something you could cook at home and I could have cooked them better. We had a few off our plates and left the rest. Staff were rude. Almost like they could tell we were 'tourists'. On paying the bill as I took my change I said 'fabulous, thank you' walking away from the gentleman to leave the lady behing the bar with very short dark hair in a mocking voice said 'fabulous!' I quiet honestly thought it was so condescending. I was so shocked. I didn't expect a remark like that. We didn't do anything anything wrong and were polite the whole time we were sat in there an eating. In my eyes, 'tourists' like us are who are keeping your business open so why act like that?

So the food, Ham sandwich- side salad and a pot of coleslaw. On our return the next day we had Local Pasty and chips and...

Rather disappointed by the food - very basic stuff such a shame/waste given the incredible location! Had cod, chips & peas. Cod was ok and batter was thin and crispy which was good. But the chips were no better than I cook in my oven at home and the peas were watery/overcooked. My wife had scampi - tasted good but again it did look identical to the stuff you can buy in bags in the supermarket! It's not expensive so I guess I can't be too upset but I always want a place to thrive and do well and as I said before it seems such a waste of an opportunity to have this amazing sunset viewing coastal location and not combine it with fantastic food. The staff were friendly and professional just need to team it with...
