Lathwells Restaurant, Bideford

A very Happy New Year to you all. Lathwells are delighted to announce that at last Phase I of our building plans are being started  -  this will entail the new kitchen and storage facility.

Unfortunately, it does mean that we will be closed for January and most of February, although we will keep you updated. We hope to launch the new kitchen later on in February.

We are sorry to be closed for this period but we are sure you will understand the need for modernisation and improvement. The people who will benefit will be our diners, as we will be able to improve upon our choice of dishes and covers we can provide for.

We are very excited about this project and very much look forward to welcoming you when we re-open. Thank you for your patience.

We are still taking bookings for March onwards, so do please drop us an email or telephone 01237 476447.

Thank you

Welcome to Lathwells, at the heart of the historic port of Bideford

Thinking local is a crusade for us. Around 70% of our ingredients come from within 25 miles of Bideford

Main courses are served with fresh, seasonal vegetables, most grown by local gardeners

We pride ourselves on our seafood dishes, cooked using the finest locally-caught fish, landed daily

We've no pretensions and we aren't precious about food or gastronomy. What's important to us is that we offer you great value for money and that you enjoy your evening with us
