Welcome to the Royal Oak in Porlock

In the centre of Porlock, surrounded by moor, woodland and sea air, The Royal Oak has been part of village life for generations. Fires lit in winter, doors open in summer, and tables shared in every season.

It’s the kind of inn where conversation lingers, dogs doze beneath chairs, and walkers drift in from the hills in search of something warm and good. Locals, travellers, neighbours and newcomers — all are welcomed, and all are part of the story here.

The food at The Royal Oak reflects the landscape around us. Our menu changes with the weather, the tides, and the work of local farmers, growers, and fishermen.

Expect hearty dishes in winter, lighter plates in summer, and a steady respect for the ingredients that come from Exmoor’s fields, farms, and waters. We cook simply, so the flavours can speak for themselves, and we prepare everything with care — the kind of food that feels both familiar and quietly special.

Vegetarian friendly. Vegan options. Gluten free available.

Local ales from the moor, orchard ciders from the valley, and a thoughtful wine list — best enjoyed slowly, in good company.

Our wine selection traces the great wine regions of the world, with bottles sourced directly from small, family-run vineyards and independent producers. Each wine is bottled at the estate, preserving the character and craft of the maker — no mass bottling, no shortcuts — just honest winemaking, poured with care.

We’re proud to serve local craft beer from On The Level Brew Co., a small father-and-son brewery based here on Exmoor. Every batch is brewed by hand, with care, character, and a genuine love for good beer — the kind that brings people together. It’s local, independent, and exactly what a village pub should pour.

The Anchor Inn at Hillfarrance is a rare Somerset gem, having been owned and run by the same family for nearly 18 years.

From their ‘small plates’ dishes, to Greek inspired gyros, fabulous homemade burgers using Exmoor farmed beef, not to mention their highly recommended Sunday roast and Famous Anchor homemade pies.

Looking after their customers is their top priority, which is why they’ve held a 5* food hygiene rating for some 15 years and why they so confidently offer gluten free and dairy free dishes as standard. Team Anchor pride themselves on their menu planning and the wider team’s menu knowledge that allows customers with allergens to feel safe when dining at the Anchor. 

Their attention to delivering professional, warm and friendly customer service, alongside first class dishes makes them one of Somerset’s best loved pubs. In fact, last week we informed them they’ve been shortlisted for Somerset County Gazette Pub of the Year. “Being in the same business for so many years has given us a wealth of experience, an opportunity to evolve steadily and really understand our very loyal customers.” said Laura Magee, owner and manager of the Anchor Inn.

Welcome to Foxes Hotel, Minehead

We’re delighted to welcome The Foxes Hotel in Minehead back to the Exmoor Food Fest!

Some of the learners will be supporting events at other ExFF25 venues, and there there is a big event at Foxes in February which is worth keeping an eye on. We’ll let you have dates and further info as soon as we have them.

Foxes Hotel is a delightful Victorian seaside hotel in Minehead on the Exmoor coast. As the UK’s only fully operating training hotel for young people with learning disabilities, a stay at Foxes is a truly unique experience.

In the run up to the “10 Chefs 10 Courses” we have asked ‘our’ chefs a few questions.

Anita-Clare Field (Chef Patron La Petite Bouchée Brasserie La Petite Bouchée Private Chef & Events) has been a great supporter of the Exmoor Food Fest ever since La Petite Bouchée landed in Devon.

Here is what she said:

If you could only cook with five ingredients for the rest of your life, what would they be?

Seafood, salt, chilli, garlic, ramen noodles.

If you could cook a meal for any historical figure, who would it be and what would you prepare for them?

Julia Child, and I’d love to cook cassoulet without chicken !!!

What’s the weirdest request you’ve ever received from a customer, and did you make it?

“Please could you take the wine out of the coq au vin?”

If your cooking style was a music genre, what would it be and why?

Classical because all the ingredients play their starring role and come together for a grande finale like each of the notes played in the orchestra…

If you could open a restaurant anywhere in the world, where would it be, and what would the concept be like?

In Brittany or Normandy, and the concept would remain the same.

What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced in your career, and how did you overcome it?

I think the last few years have massively challenged the hospitality trade. Covid meant we were shut and so relaunched as TOGO then the cost of living crisis has meant adapting again and the Private Chef and Events side of our business has gone from strength to strength – Adapt or die as they say!!

What is your philosophy on food and cooking? How does this influence the way you run your kitchen?

Both are a passion, both make me happy so running a happy, nurturing environment is the most important thing to me.

How do you ensure consistency and quality in every dish that leaves your kitchen?

I cook every dish that leaves the kitchen so it’s completely down to me.

What do you think is the most important skill for a chef to have, and why?

Humility. No room for arrogance and egos in our kitchen.

How do you handle feedback, both from customers and your team?

All feedback is valuable. Good and bad. So long as it’s constructive it’s welcomed.

We’ve know Luke for quite a few years, but 2025 is the first year he is joining the Exmoor Food Fest in the position of head chef at the Podshavers Barn. Luke is also taking part as one of the 10 chefs in our “10 Chefs – 10 Courses” Gala Dinner on 15 October 2024 at Croydon Hall which marks the 100-day-countdown to the 10th anniversary of the Exmoor Food Fest.

We have asked him a few questions, and here is what he said:

What’s the most bizarre food combination you’ve ever tried?
Char Sui eggs Benedict.

Have you ever had a dish completely flop? What happened, and what did you learn from it?
Not completely flop but needed some additional work.

What’s the one kitchen tool you can’t live without, and what’s the weirdest kitchen gadget you’ve ever tried?
Currently my new sous vide wand, but I’m sure there be many more once I can afford them. Not had the experience of anything weird unless you count using tweezer to finish garnishing.

What’s the craziest food trend you’ve seen recently, and do you secretly love or hate it?
Love the farm to fork concept currently as it’s my main drive for the Podshavers restaurant menu ideas. Looking to get a kitchen garden in the works so I can utilise produce right from the kitchen garden.

Can you tell us about your culinary journey and what inspired you to become a chef?
Started in hospitality at the age of 13 as a pot washer, originally wanted to be a police officer but found a real drive and passion for producing good quality food for appreciative customers. Headed of to college after school and did 3 years training and gaining as much knowledge as possible. Once completed I started gaining experience in several different restaurants in the south west.

What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced in your career, and how did you overcome it?
Biggest challenge is probably not feeling good enough in the hospitality sector, have experienced a couple knock backs mentally, but have found it in my self to stand back up and push myself to do better and be the best I can be.

How do you approach creating a new dish, from concept to execution?
Start by looking at what is in season and work a dish around that. Taste and find if all the flavours work together and there’s enough flavour coming through from each element. If something doesn’t work I take it away and try again until it’s just right.

How do you keep up with food trends and incorporate them into your menu, if at all?
Try to keep and eye on food trends as often as possible, normally find out there’s a new one via social media.

What do you think is the most important skill for a chef to have, and why?
Patience, over the years I worked I have had to find a way to be more patient and it really shows with my management in the kitchen at Podshavers.

How do you handle feedback, both from customers and your team?
I listen carefully what they have to say, if there’s anything I agree with I implement change.

What are some of the most significant changes you’ve seen in the culinary industry during your career, and how have you adapted to them?
The current change is the lack of people eating out so trying to find something people will come out for is the adaption that has to be implemented. Currently trying to implement new things to come in 2025.

Joe Roach has been taking part in the Exmoor Food Fest for a few years now in his role as head chef of the Farmers Arms in Combe Florey. The Farmers Arms are already signed up for the 2025 Exmoor Food Fest, and Joe is one of the chefs cooking at the “10 Chefs – 10 Courses” dinner on 15 October 2024 at Croydon Hall.

We have asked him a few questions, and here is what he said:

What’s the most bizarre food combination you’ve ever tried, and did it surprisingly work?
A coffee risotto with sou-vided pigeon breast and pickled blackberries. It worked very well and amazed me.

If you could only cook with five ingredients for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Beef – Red wine – Rosemary – Shallots – garlic

Have you ever had a dish completely flop? What happened, and what did you learn from it?
Red cabbage and pear soup. I learnt that I needed to incorporate more sugar to the dish as the pears have a lower sugar level.

There are currently four tickets left for the dinner on 15 October… If you are quick, you can snatch them up!

Our award-winning restaurant serves a modern, British menu with seating for 90 people inside and a further 40 capacity outside when the weather allows. Our beautiful outside terrace has stunning views overlooking the estuary and is ideal for al fresco or formal dining. 

Dating back to the 18th century, the newly renovated Royal George is Grade II listed and sits on the water’s edge, with breath taking views over the Taw & Torridge estuary.

Situated in the quiet but quaint, Irsha Street, Appledore we are open 5 days a week:
Wednesday-Saturday:

Breakfast 8:30AM-10:00AM

Lunch 12:00PM-14:00PM

Dinner 18:00PM-20:30PM

Sunday:

Breakfast 8:30AM-10:00AM
Lunch 12:00PM-15:30PM

Our restaurant with rooms provides you with the perfect location to enjoy and celebrate your time with friends and family – doggies included too! Enjoy our delicious and fresh food, served with a welcoming smile by our passionate team.

We aim to deliver an exceptional menu of the highest quality produce, with innovative dishes and traditional classics. Cooked with care by our award winning chefs. All of our food uses the freshest seasonal and local ingredients.

We are very proud of the accolades and awards we have received. From the Good Food Guide, Taste of the West Gold Accolades to 2 Rosettes four years running and our 4 Star AA Rating, our hard working and enthusiastic team always strive to ensure we are serving and delivering the best. 

We serve a modern, British à la carte seasonal menu that changes monthly. We are all passionate about the provenance and quality of our largely local ingredients. We believe in great service and serve high quality, local food – food with a genuine story. We’re proud to partner with some of the most ethically and morally minded farmers in the area, each of whom champion exemplary levels of animal welfare.

For our business, we define “local” by food miles:

• Our beef (Aberdeen Angus/Devon Ruby Red Cross), pork (Large Whites) and lamb (Horn Cross) are all grass-fed. The abattoir is located close to the farms (e.g. only 2 miles from the farm where we procure our beef), which makes for a less stressed animal and, by extension, better quality of meat. In total, the food miles for these animals (from field to fork if you will), is only 23 miles.
• Our poultry (chickens and ducks) and eggs are sourced from award winning free range farms in Crediton (<40 miles) and Bude (<30 miles)
• Our game comes from Crediton, where it is sourced within a 15 mile radius of the fantastic butcher, MC Kelly (<50 miles)
• Our fish is sourced and landed in Ilfracombe, Devon (<25 miles), Appledore (0 miles!), Brixham, Devon (92 miles), and Newlyn, Cornwall (102 miles).
• Our coffee is sourced from speciality roaster Origin in Porthleven Cornwall (<85 miles)
• Our bread and pastries come from East West Bakery in Barnstaple (13 miles)
• Our fruit and vegetables, where possible and in season, are sourced from local farms in North Devon, including Hedden’s in Bideford (<4 miles) and Cornborough Farm in Abbotsham (<2 miles)
• Why not stay with us? Come and enjoy a coastal break and breathe in the fresh sea air of Appledore. Stay in one of our four rooms at the Royal George, or book one of our six newly renovated rooms at the Sailors Rest, our accommodation-only, Grade II listed building located on Appledore Quay, overlooking the estuary, in the heart of the village.
