Best Gastro Pubs in Appledore

My Wife and I have eaten at the Sawmills twice within a three day period. The food on both occasions was exceptional! The ambience and atmosphere were perfect. A very clean, well set out establishment. A fine selection of drinks. The staff were all extremely friendly, professional, and were more helpful than you usually get to see. There were all switched on, and knew about any question you would ask. We hope it stays as good in the future as it's been on these two occasions. The Chef was a master class! We will most certainly be returning in June 2025!

We love the Thatch and been coming for years . The food was amazing and the staff very helpful and friendly . We love the vibe in the pub and please never change it .

An hour's 3 mile walk from opposite EUBC along the canal path got us to The Turf. We had booked a food slot for an outside table as all the inside was full already. Waited a mere 15 minutes for the Burger and Chips which was delicious. Perfectly cooked, locally-sourced beef with seasoned chunky chips and side salad, helped down with a pint of cider on a sunny day. Great service , friendly staff, lovely well-maintained picturesque setting and tasty food. What more do you need?. Highly recommend. cheers
