| Address | The Strand , , Barnstaple | | Comments | My husband and I ate at James Duckett the first week if the Easter Holidays. Food was fantastic and I would recommend the seafood starter. Staff were very helpful and we really enjoyed the evening. Fresh local produce cooked to perfection. Prices are very reasonable too. | | | Posted by Yvonne Withey on 2010-04-20 16:24:34 |
| Address | The Strand , , Barnstaple | | Comments | The meal my partner and i enjoyed at the old custom house on 23/12/09 was first class, perfectly cooked and presented. To further add to our evening the front of house service was friendly and professional. As someone in the catering industry i would recommend the old custom house to anyone who enjoys fine food. | | | Posted by andrew roxby on 2009-12-25 08:49:20 |
| Address | The Strand , , Barnstaple | | Comments | My family (5 / 6 people) ate at The Old Custom House for dinner and a lunch during our summer holiday. We found the food imaginative (e.g. cinnamon parfait) and exceptionally well prepared (e.g. a crab bisque that was both light and intense) and the service was attentive and friendly without being over the top. Our visit for lunch offered them a real challenge (I won’t tell you how as I’m sure they’d never want anyone to do this again!) but the staff went well beyond the call of duty in their kindness and consideration. Their approach to lunch is good fun too. They serve a number of dishes, all priced at £4 and you can order as many or as few as you like. Each was beautifully presented and delicious. We devoured ours! For the quality of the food, the prices are fantastic. Dinner for six, not counting wine was £150 and lunch for five was £70. This was outstanding value. The downstairs of the restaurant is a lovely place to sit, eat, drink and watch the goings on by the river. On both occasions we ate here we all came away with the impression that the front of house and the kitchen were trying very hard to impress, and they certainly succeeded with us. Thank you, and good luck! | | | Posted by Peter Robinson on 2009-08-22 21:08:04 |
| Address | The Strand , , Barnstaple | | Comments | If you are looking for somewhere that has excellent service and exquisite food then look no further than the old custom house. Jame's and his staff look after you extemely well whether it is for a quick lunch or a long leisurely dinner. The menus are always very innovative and extemely well presented. | | | Posted by marg pratt on 2009-07-15 20:29:00 |
| Address | The Strand , , Barnstaple | | Comments | My wife Lynn and I found James Duckett's The Old Custom House Restaurant on the Internet. On arrival, we were met by front of house and was then struck by the warm and friendly atmosphere. A good wine list, excellently put together to form the start of and an accompaniment to the menu.
The excellent front of house was of course knowledgable and informative on the menu on the day. The amuse bouche wetted the appetite for the main course of Jon Dory. I love fish so selecting the Jon Dory was an obvious choice and did not dissapoint. We finished off the meal with a selection of cheeses, though the sweets on offer did tempt!!
We were pleased to find The Old Customs house - James Duckett and his staff are clearly "foodies" and anyone with an interest in great food should try this place - like us you will be impressed. | | | Posted by Paul & Lynn Parsons on 2009-07-13 22:10:04 |
| Address | The Strand , , Barnstaple | | Comments | If you want perfection, then try James Duckett’s Restaurant, ‘The Old Custom House’ in Barnstaple. The Front of House Staff are welcoming and efficient, and the food not only delicious but exquisitely presented. At Lunch time there is an extremely reasonably priced menu, where you can choose as much or as little as you wish, and the Dinner menu provides anyone with a glorious evening out.
James Duckett is not just a superb Chef, he oversees every aspect of his Restaurant, including meeting his customers, which gives ‘The Old Custom House’ a very personal atmosphere. We cannot recommend it highly enough, it is not just a wonderful Restaurant, it is an experience to go there.
