Wards Bistro - Carta

Hosts fitted us in at short notice. Only a few indoor tables when we visited but everyone was having fun. Lovely atmosphere and great food and wine. We were made to feel welcome from the start. Felt like we’d been to a friend’s for dinner!...

Booked in advance as I read gets booked out in holiday season. So glad I did as their Sunday Roast simply cannot be matched. You get asked for your choice of meat/s, this is then all served on a ‘help yourself’ platter along with Yorkshire...

We had a wonderful experience at this cozy little restaurant. Sharon made us feel like we were dining at her own home. Our dogs were warmly welcomed, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was also fantastic. We highly recommend this place. Ver carta

I had attempted to make a reservation, but the restaurant was fully booked. However, the owner, Sharon, contacted me later to inform me that there had been a cancellation and offered me the table. Despite the restaurant being very busy, I was touched by Sharon's gesture as all I wanted was a table.

I made a reservation for dinner for myself, my wife, and our adult son at this restaurant. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful when I called to book. When we arrived that evening, we were warmly welcomed. The food was absolutely fantastic! We had a wonderful evening. Thank you to the restaurant staff for a great experience.

We ate here twice in a week and were not disappointed. Lovely warm, friendly restaurant. Sharon made us feel so welcome and went out of her way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, including making sure our autistic son’s fish was cooked very simply so he wouldn’t flip out at over anything green! Food was great, service excellent. Would definitely recommend Ver carta

Superb! Amazing restaurant with perfect food, accompanied by fabulous service from all of the friendly team. Relaxed and informal atmosphere, lovely decorated restaurant. A good choice of freshly made dishes, with locally sourced ingredients and prepared with pride to create the perfect evening. Portion sizes were perfect, with plenty of fresh vegetables and potatoes to accompany the meal. During our visit to Ilfracombe this restaurant was fully booked each evening they opened, so advance booking is essential.

Tried to book this restaurant the week before our arrival. Unfortunately they closed on the evenings we wanted but the communication was good via email. We happened to be in Ilfracombe on the Sunday and as the weather was nice thought we would chance a visit. We ordered a Sunday Lunch which was nice and at the time I explained that unfortunately we were unable to book prior to our visit. Sharon then asked if we wanted to book for our last night to which we agreed. We agreed on 7:00pm but she suggested we come at 6:45pm to ensure our order would be taken before another large party which was booked in at 7:00pm. We had walked in on Sunday from the Torrs so hadn't attempted to park in Ilfracomb...

This is the best place we have eaten at in Ilfracombe! Sharon and her husband plus son and sons girlfriend, made our evening there last night so special! Not only was the food the best we gave eaten but their company, the location of the restaurant, the decor and the whole vibe feel to the place was just prefect. It is an intimate dining experience which you could do as a couple on your own and have an intimate evening on your own or you could chat to everyone in there and get involved in all the discussions being held! I’ve not eaten anywhere like this before and we loved it. The menu is excellent. I had prawns in a sauce on a lovely fresh tastey bed of salad a very generous serving. He had... Ver carta
