We took an early lunch on the way to Sidmouth. I'd forgotten that the portions are generous and we ended up with more than we needed again. It's hard not to keep picking at the extras even when you've had a fill.

Reopened & back from the dead! The Bowd, a family run Pub Restaurant near Sidmouth, has at last reopened following its sudden, and so far unexplained, closure. The Bowd has always been by a long way the Best Carvery in the Area in terms of both Quality & Value for Money. Their Farmhouse Carvery returned from 30th March, ours was delicious and cost 14.95, but it may be a little more on Sundays. The Main Menu is limited at present but has something for everyone. Our Lemon Cheesecake with Mango Sauce to follow was delicious. They are operating with a reduced staff, we only saw three, but the Service was friendly and accommodating. The Restaurant area was relaxed and warm with the radiators fully on, a haven on a Cold & Rainy Spring day. Currently their Advertising & Publicity warrants a little more attention. We only found out that the Bowd had reopened as we happened to drive past recently. Even some weekly FB Posts & Photos would help enormously. At this point they are only open from Thursday to Sunday 11:45am to 3pm. Let's hope they return to full opening soon. Welcome Back to the Bowd, and as far as our family are concerned, we've really missed you!
