Johns Of Instow - Speisekarte

We visited this restaurant soon after arriving in Bideford. The array of fresh and locally sourced ingredients was impressive. If I lived nearby, I could see myself spending a lot of money in this establishment.

Ordered coffee and cakes. We had finished drinks and cakes still hadn't arrived even though they just needed putting on a plate. We cancelled them. When we went to pay the lady handed us the card payment machine and turned her back on us. Very rude. Really expensive drinks and cakes too.

very good food and excellent service. i completely recommend it to anyone on holiday or nearby. there is also plant based food which is a healthy option to anyone. the shop next to it attracts people in the cafe and walking near. lots of food and drinks etc to choose from! very good cafe and shop.

My friend and I stumbled upon John's food stand at the pier in Instow. We decided to try the "Pier Dog" and it did not disappoint. The brioche roll was filled with a generous amount of sauerkraut, crispy onions, Ukrainian dressing, and a delicious Bratwurst sausage. Overall, we were very impressed and would recommend a visit to any food lover.

Came in this week for a take away coffee and cake, despite it not being busy and no queue, it took over 20 minutes for coffees to be served. Staff chatting amongst themselves whilst we were waiting. This isn’t the first time I’ve experienced extremely slow service in Johns. For the price you pay in Johns, the service unfortunately does not match.

Would definitely recommend this cafe/delicatessen shop. We had a lovely tasty breakfast. I had breakfast bap consisting of egg, bacon, sausage choice of toasted bread. My husband had the full breakfast. My daughter had chocolate croissants (2) came with butter jam. We also had nice Americano coffee, green delicious smoothie coco/caramel milkshake. Staff were lovely. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Dog friendly. Also its a delicatessen sells pastries etc. Speisekarte ansehen

We had a wedding picnic on the beach and it was absolutely fabulous. We regret not taking photos because everything was done perfectly from beginning to end. Anthony helped us choose the food for each basket and was very accommodating. Luckily, we had great weather on the day of the picnic, but it would have been amazing regardless. The team even helped us find a fantastic cake supplier. Many thanks to Anthony and the team for a wonderful experience. - Gerald and Anne

The food was exceptional, so tasty and nicely presented. The table however was SO sticky. I asked for it to be wiped but this did not solve the problem. The varnish/finish is clearly not fit for purpose. Another couple sitting close by said the tables have been sticky for many years. Why let yourselves down by not sanding the tables and sorting the problem. It totally put me off from returning. Shame as it is a quality place and top dollar prices with ghastly tables. Sort them as a matter of urgency.

Unfortunately, my experience wasn 't great. Johns closes at 17.30 and I walked through the doors with my baby at 17:15 only to be made to feel like I shouldn 't be there. The young lady (blonde, around 18 years old) huffed when I came to the till with a handful of deli items. I actually had to ask if they were still open because that 's the energy that came across. I felt rushed, there was no eye contact or chat, I tried to make light of the awkwardness I felt but she never cracked a smile. John 's isn 't cheap, I spent about £30 on different deli products. In 1 arm I had my baby and the other I was balancing salami, cheeses, olives etc yet I was never offered a bag!!! So strange. She immedi... Speisekarte ansehen
