Best Lunch Restaurants in Barnstaple

Wow, what a gem of a place, we had the most amazing Sunday lunch, the roast dinner was awesome we all gave it a 10/10. The kids had the amazing chicken burger and fish & chips which were also given 10/10. We had exceptional service and a friendly atmosphere, superb. We love The Rock and will be returning next time we come to North Devon at Easter and summer 2025. Thank you for an amazing Sunday afternoon and look forward to returning next year.

Lovely meat on the carvery (beef and turkey) - best carvery meats I've had in a while. Vegetable choice was excellent but could have been hotter were all a little lukewarm. Too many dogs around, can understand them being in the bar area but would have preferred the restaurant to be dog free

Although living in the area for some time and always meaning to try for a meal and glad that we eventually did for four of us as a birthday celebration. Firstly, the online booking process worked very smoothly with a confirmation email for confidence. Warm welcome and a warm comfortable environment with log fire which was appreciated on a cold winter's day. Large spacious eating area around a well stocked bar. We went on a Sunday when they have a Sunday menu which includes a roast dinner which we all chose including one vegetarian roast option. The food was well cooked and particularly well presented with seasonal vegetables. The service was very friendly and attentive and we will certainly return.

Great service & superb food, all served by friendly staff

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch, the menu was just right and the food delicious. The staff are so attentive and helpful and a credit to the Pig on The Hill. We had a great time and can't wait to try the evening menu.
