Although only a small coastal village, Instow is well provided for when eating out.

The Bar - good pub food in tastefully decorated surroundings where you can put your feet up, sip a pint and watch the yachts go out from Instow yacht club.



The Boat House – a bustling, busy restaurant/bar.  You can drop in and get a table on the bar side and the food is great.  Or, if you fancy something a little more special you can book the restaurant.  Locally caught seafood is a speciality.


The Commodore Hotel - fantastic location right on the seafront at Instow with amazing view of the estuary.  Great spot for a Devon Cream Tea in the afternoon or gin and tonic and enjoy the sunset.


Instow Arms– another pub overlooking the beach with  beautifully cooked local food. 







Hockings Ice Cream - once you have tried this local ice-cream (made across the river in Appledore) you will know why everybody raves about it.  It really is the best local ice cream I have tasted.  The van is parked on Instow seafront everday from morning till the sun goes down.


The Wayfarer - a good local pub serving a wide menu of good pub grub.  Lively pub with good atmosphere.  Small beer garden to the rear of the pub.
