Best Sunday lunch in Cornwall??

In search of a bit of Sunday lunch in South East Cornwall, we tried the Smugglers Cott Restaurant in Looe. A delightful, cozy restaurant - warm and welcoming. Sunday lunch was one of the best carvery meals we've ever had. A choice of four meats (turkey, beef, lamb, pork) and a counter full of scrummy veg including delicious cauliflower cheese and lashings of hot gravy. All for about eight quid. After you've stuffed yourself, you can always take a bracing walk on Looe beach just up the road. Enjoy! (No website, but for reservations telephone 01503 262397)

Sunday lunch in Bideford

A trip to North Devon today, mainly to see family staying in Barnstaple.

As we had time to spare, we enjoyed a very pleasant (and filling, and good value) sunday lunch carvery at the Royal Hotel in Bideford (pictured here). For more information visit the Sunday Lunch page at http://www.simplydevonandcornwall.com/

Bideford itself is a pleasant riverside town. There's not a huge amount to see, but there's a nice walk along the river bank.

Onwards to Barnstaple, for tea at the Imperial Hotel in Barnstaple where family were staying. The Imperial is a quiet, comfortable, traditional hotel right in the heart of Barnstaple and overlooking the river.
