“ We had a great meal here Saturday night for my mum’s 60th. The atmosphere and decoration was fab, cocktails were so good and looked great. Fab quality of drinks and wide range of food. Reasonably priced. Shout out to Keiran who dealt with all 11 of us fantastically, was great fun, polite, attentive and always provided fantastic service. Would come back when next in Bude ”
“ Just returned from a family dinner at The Bank, Bude and can honestly say that this restaurant is fabulous. From the polite and welcoming team, to the amazing food, absolutely everything was a delight. The portions were a reasonable size and price, but the tastes were amazing, everything has a very slight spicy kick and I loved it!!! The only minor (and I mean really super minor) was that my mum thought the calamari rings was a little tough and it did not detract from our overall experience of the food at all. It's difficult to recommend a particular dish as we loved everything we ate, but the meat paella is a must, really highly recommended! I would also recommend you make a reservation to dine here as this restaurant with good reason is popular!! I only wish that I was staying in Bude one more night so I can return!! My thanks to all of the team at The Bank for your wonderful hospitality and food and I really hope to come back next time I am in Bude!! ”
“ Honestly the best food I've ever had at any restaurant. We ordered so much because the menu was so good we just wanted to try everything! The quality, flavour and portion sizes were ten out of ten and it was evident that the produce was fresh and locally sourced. Very easy to end up spending a fortune but it's worth every penny! Great atmosphere and very friendly and attentive staff. I've booked a table again in August for me and my partner because she'll absolutely love it! *edit 16/08/24*: Came back here with my partner after coming for the first time with my parents in July. The experience was just as good. The food is next level! Absolutely delicious and cooked to order using quality ingredients. Extremely friendly staff and the place has such a great atmosphere. Will be back for a third time and more, for sure ”
“ Excellent venue, a little harder to find but worth visiting if you're after quality dining in Bude. Great tapas food, Spanish music and views out over the marshes. ”
“ Lovely place great food and service. We had one of there pods out side as our dog was with us. Really nice and they didn't forget you where there. Ordered far too much but oh well ”
“ Visited for my wife's birthday with my son and in-laws, booked the outside pod for 5 guests. The food, service was faultless. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience and highly recommend. ”
“ A dog friendly venue with a great range of tapas. We booked a private pod - it sat the 4 of us with space for the dogs. Servers were friendly and helpful throughout. To order your food initially, you use a checklist, which makes it so much easier. Food is brought out as it is ready so you recieve 2-3 dishes at a time which is great. Food was excellent. Squid, alibondegas, goats cheese croquettes, and beefburger sliders were the favourites. If we are down this way again, we would definitely visit. It is a popular venue, so make sure you book in advance. Walk ins are often disappointing as no tables. ”
“ Called in and managed to get a cabin next to the river, had a little heater just in case, service was great we even had a little button to summon extra drinks, Tasty dishes and loads to choose from. Definitely will visit again ”
