Welcome to Number Eight
We are a couple run, small, intimate and relaxed fine dining restaurant which is situated down a quiet backstreet just off the quay in Bideford. Our aim is to create a dining experience with ever changing seasonal menus. Upon arrival you will be greeted by Chloe who will provide you with welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable hosting. With Joshua behind the stove cooking up tasting menus using the best local produce sourced from the South West to create exciting and passionate dishes. With 30 plus years experience between us, working in well known restaurants around the Cornish coast gaining experience and skills, we have now decided to spread our wings and express ourselves and show the passion we have for food and service. We look forward to welcoming you to dine with us soon!
We create delicious experiences

Restaurant News
Our current premises is up for sale so at some point this year we will be moving into what used to be the riverbank or to some locals the old swan. We have a huge amount of renovating to do and as we are doing most of this ourselves it will take a while. For now we are not taking bookings past July as until we progress further we don’t have a moving date set in stone, and we don’t want to let anyone down. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram for updates and pictures as we renovate. We cant wait to welcome you in the near future, Joshua and Chloe.
