Welcome to Number Eight
We are a couple run, small, intimate and relaxed fine dining restaurant which is situated on the river Torridge in Bideford. Our aim is to create a dining experience with ever changing seasonal menus. Upon arrival you will be greeted by Chloe who will provide you with welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable hosting. With Joshua behind the stove cooking up tasting menus using the best local produce sourced from the South West to create exciting and passionate dishes. With 30 plus years experience between us, working in well known restaurants around the Cornish coast gaining experience and skills, we decided to open our own business in 2017 to show the passion we have for food and service. We look forward to welcoming you to dine with us soon!

What our diners had to say
What an amazing place. The service was excellent the food out of this world and the restaurant perfect.
Nathan Wells
Excellent restaurant, beautiful food. You won't find the days menu online as they source local seasonal food. My taste buds were tingling. Ideal for couples.
