Based inside the Bude Castle, now a museum and art gallery (where you can buy the items on display)…read morewith a lovely cafe for light snacks, sandwiches and cream teas. The terrace outside overlooks the Summerleaze beach where you can watch the tide come in, a massive sandy beach when the tide is out. Can vouch for the chocolate cake and cream tea, scones are light and fluffy, jam is with real fruit and cream is fresh cornish clotted cream. The venue is also great for weddings, with a lovely large lawn outside. Also do not expect to find a traditional castle as such, on top of a hill with a moat and battlements etc. From the back it does not even look like a castle!

The waiter brought it over and dumped it in the table without offering us cutlery, sauces, condiments or even a smile. The burgers were fine and we sat for a good half an hour after eating looking over the beach finishing our drinks. Nobody came to clear our plates until we (and all the other unattended tables) were attacked by seagulls swooping down for the left overs. Pricey and unattentive. Give it a miss and eat in the town.

In the evening this place chances from a beach cafe to an upmarket bistro. It is extremely popular-…read moreso book in advance. Their speciality is seafood- and the 'special of the day' (clams, mussels, crevettes, red mullet, hake, lemon sole all cooked very simply and served over delicious buttery marsh samphire, accompanied by a small portion of chips) was 25 pounds a person, for a minimum of 2 people. It was a real 'taste of the sea'- fresh and delicious- but quite expensive. Starters are reasonable at about 5 pounds a person- try the crab bisque which was a real highlight. The house wines are remarkably reasonable- a crisp french sav blanc was 10.50, and went down very nicely! A great holiday meal out- the views over the sea combined with fish cooked with a light touch make it the perfect summer venue for a bit of a treat.
