Dog FriendlyEating Out
There’s plenty of choice close by. Lovely country pubs, restaurants with sea views and sublime fish and chips.
Eating In
There will be a Devon farmhouse cream tea waiting for you when you arrive at Kerswell Farm. If you would also like a cake or some home-made cookies to make your time with us extra special, let me know in advance and I will get baking. A few ideas…
- Farmhouse fruit cake
- Lemon drizzle
- Buttery oat cookies (fruit and nuts optional)
Local shopping
G E Honey and Son is the really excellent and great-value butcher in Parkham selling home-grown and locally-produced meat. There’s a brilliant and very well-stocked wet fish shop in Appledore and excellent small convenience shops with Post Offices are not far away in Woolsery (plenty of local and interesting produce here) and Bucks Cross. There are many supermarkets in Bideford and most large supermarkets will deliver to Kerswell Farm. There’s also an organic shop selling fresh produce and all manner of supplies on the way into Appledore.
Eating out
It’s always difficult to recommend places to eat, as they change often, and tastes vary – these are just a few of those that we have tried and enjoyed or have been highly recommended to us by people we trust!

The Bell Inn, Parkham
The Bell Inn in Parkham is a friendly pub with a decent menu and good beer and cider although service can be rather slow.
