What a fantastic place to eat! One of the best restaurant experiences in all of England tucked away in North Devon. We could not have been more pleased to celebrate my husband’s birthday here for Sunday lunch. Right from the start a friendly greeting, beautiful dog-friendly table overlooking the water, excellent service, delicious food (ample portions). Staff could not have been more accommodating. Special thanks to Holly for making our experience so wonderful. The Royal George would be enough to lure us back to this part of the country.

A big thank you to all the staff at the Royal George for looking after our daughter's wedding so very well. From the initial planning right through to the actual event everything went smoothly. Communication between Sasha & Alison and our daughter/future son-in-law was excellent with tasting menus offered. On the day the staff couldn't do enough for us. The food was beautiful and not the usual wedding fayre. There was plenty of it too with excellent vegetarian options. We heard nothing but praise from the wedding guests. The staff worked really hard to keep everything spotlessly clean. We would particularly like to thank Nicky and the bar team for looking after everyone so well. Overall the staff at the Royal George were fantastic and we can't thank you enough.

Dined at the Royal George for my birthday. Couldn't fault it at all. Fantastic food, attentive staff, good range of cocktails and wines. Above all very reasonably priced for what was high quality food

Fantastic dog friendly place to eat. We had 4 meals here during our week long stay in Appledore. Sunday lunch was one of the best I have had in a long time. We ate here again on the Monday and Thursday evening then had breakfast on the last day of our holiday. The staff are amazing, really friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was fantastic on each visit. I can highly recommend The Royal George, perfect in every way

We love the Royal George! The food is always fantastic, never disappoints.Though a little pricey, it is worth it for a lovely meal here.The scallops starter and lamb three ways really stood out, but all dishes are great.Very good service. Definitely try and book a table upstairs to get the beautiful views of the Appledore estuary!
