The Royal George

Readers love the ‘stunning views over the water’ at this pub with rooms on the Taw estuary in arty Appledore. Ask the charming staff for a table by the huge windows or bag a spot on the terrace to make the most of the vistas. Book ahead for breakfast (a favourite of local dog walkers), drop by for a lunchtime sarnie or dip into the daily carte, which might offer the likes of moules marinière or an Exmoor beef burger with sriracha mayonnaise and pickled onion rings. Dessert could be sticky toffee pudding. Sunday roasts and a full kids' menu complete the family-friendly offer, while drinks include local ales and ciders as well as plenty of wines by the glass....
