Superb location with stunning views and choice of table either downstairs in the bar area or upstairs in the restaurant. Good choice of ales and ciders and the wine list quite extensive too.Our meal was delicious and good value, served by cheerful, efficient staff - what more could we ask ? Shame we don't live closer - but we'll be back !
nice and relaxed

this used to be the place to go but it seems to have the life sucked out of it! the food is quality and i have to say the service is pretty good too, the only problem is that the landlord has changed many times over the last two yrs and it doesnt go down well with the drinkers!

I like the Bar in Instow, granted i never went to t before the re fit. It s a small local friendly bar with areas to eat and a dining area upstairs. The beer is reasonably priced, there does seem to be a few too many tables and chairs in there which makes it a little cramped

When it was The Quay this was the local's pub and you could have some tremendous fun in here! Now it's some hideous extension of The Yacht Club. And it's overpriced. Put it back to how it was and leave it alone!

once a thriving local pub with character and atmosphere, this has become an empty lifeless sterile place to have something to eat. its shiny and new, but has no soul. the food is average, the staff are average, the beer is average.

once upon a time this used to be a cramped local pub with "old John" supping his real ale in the corner, beguileing us with tales of yore. It was always packed, always lively and always THE place to gofor a good old pig out. One day it closed. A few months later it opened ... all shiny, all silver, all COLD and no atmosphere. In one stroke, they managed to kill a unique village pub. The food is still ok, probably a bit fancy and a bit pricey for the locals now, but ideal for those trendy once a year city folk who descend on the village ....
