The food was excellent. Fantastic location to watch the wildlife as the sun was going down. Around a half mile walk from Town if not driving. Only snag for me was the limited parking as it was New Year’s Eve and having to queue for the single Gents toilet, although I would imagine it’s probably similar during the Summer Holidays. Book well in advance particularly when requesting one of the cabins.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Bank Tapas Bar! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. Alex went above and beyond to make us feel welcome — attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about providing great service. The food was just as impressive: generous portions, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavour. Every dish tasted freshly prepared and full of quality ingredients. It’s rare to find a place that gets everything so right, but The Bank truly delivers. We’ll definitely be coming back soon, and we can’t recommend it highly enough!

1st time at the Bank for Tapas. Very impressed with the Tapas quality and selection and our server Ben and the rest of the team. We booked an outside booth as had the dog with us. Portions are larger than usual Tapas dishes. Although outside we didn’t feel separate to the main restaurant as we were checked on regularily regarding drinks and food. Even the dog was catered for with water, doggie ice cream and treats when we paid the bill. Overall experience excellent. Highly recommend and will be back when in Bude again.

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!!

Intriguing venue with great food a proper special occasion place . Warm welcome nicely explained menu and how to order by a waitress on her first night’s service so I was impressed by her . Cocktails came aperol lacked kerb appeal not stirred and no prosecco others looked ok . Food was outstanding I went for the fish choices, calamari, seafood paella ,garlic prawns and seafood broth (seas the day ) all superb and without fault . Why the lost star you ask well , after couple of our party were going to have a dessert. Only to be told if we did want dessert a move was required to another table this seemed rude as the table obviously seated the same number and was obviously empty . Perhaps nearer the door and colder I don’t know we paid £173 for 4 and promptly left if we had stayed we probably would have added another 100 to that bill with dessert and extra cocktails the list looked appealing. The food kept it a 4 star but really left a sour 3 star feeling to what was a really good restaurant. Will as usual go back. Perhaps on a not double booked table night to get the true experience that we so nearly had .

We visited here for a Saturday night meal with high hopes after hearing rave reviews. Upon arrival we were greeted and shown to our booth which was lovely and warm and made the meal feel very intimate and comfortable. We ordered cocktails which were superb, and the garlic bread starter was just stunning. We ordered a range of tapas dishes and sides to share which came out quickly. The tapas were inconsistent in complete honesty, some of the dishes were lovely like the meatballs – very authentic. Others felt unfinished or poorly done, the honey garlic chicken bites especially; they were essentially chunks of plain chicken sat in a bowl of flavourless oil. It was a shame as we’d heard great things and love to support small local businesses, maybe it was a bad day for the chef or maybe our standards were a little too high. Either way I recommend asking for more details on dishes so you know exactly what you’re getting. Service was good, polite staff – especially Ben.

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint, easy menu to order with a ticking system, tried a variety of dishes including the confit duck, grilled aubergine drizzled in honey, croquettes which were delicious, and the pork belly. A hidden gem on the outskirts of bude which overlooks a beautiful meadow. Can’t wait to go back on my next trip to the coast.

We were really pleased to discover this place open on our winter weekend in Bude. The food was really good and only reason I didn’t give a 5 was recommended amount to order cost quite a bit and was far too much.

Fabulous little restaurant looking out into local greenery. We came across by accident whilst walking down to the Electric Bakery we’d been told we must visit, (it’s also great if you’re visiting Bude btw!), and popped into book at table. We had to wait a few days as they were so booked up but now we’ve been in, we see why!
The restaurant is gorgeous, amazing views and the food was stellar. Great variety of choices, loads of them gluten free which was fabulous for me. The staff were so attentive in general and made the experience all the more special but I have to mention, the care they took on my order really making me feel in safe hands coming back to check once we’d ordered via the handy little card system what I was having just to be even more careful in the kitchen even though I’d ordered all marked GF dishes. This may seem OTT to some but I thought that was so great as not all businesses take that much care and a lot of the time serving staff don’t even seem to know basic allergens never mind understanding and caring enough to double check everything. My personal favourite were the haddock goujons, fish tasted super fresh, fish flaking perfectly and the batter was light, crisp and crunchy with loads of flavour,
Everything we tried was great including puddings, the chocolate orange tart was deliciously rich and yummy!
If you’ve not been to The Bank, pop it on your to-do list as it’s been a highlight of our holiday. Fantastic food, lovely staff, beautiful views and a great way to end our stay. What a gem to have if you live locally, we will definitely be back on our next trip!

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!

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
