Where to Eat out
West Lake farm is in the heart of 'Ruby Country' known for its traditional Devon cattle such as the 'Devon Red or Ruby Red. The Rydon Inn serves a great Ruby steak just 7 miles away. Towards Iddesleigh there is the Duke of York (8 miles) featured in the Good Food Guide and rated as one of the top ten food pubs in the country. Just 4 miles away is the 'Half Moon' excellent food and one of the few original fishing inns remaining in Devon - the pub owns 10 miles of fishing rights along the River Torridge where if you walk along the banks you may catch sight of the resident Otters or a Kingfisher. In Bude (20 mins) is Life's A Beach (on the beach )restaurant - great chefs and a favourite of ours, also in Bude The Castle Restaurant (in the castle) fine dining reasonably priced. The rebuilt George in Hatherleigh is highly recommended. The Bickford Arms 4 miles also recommended. All pubs are characterful and offer meals for all budgets.
