Claytons & The Glasshouse

You'll find yourself on Cross Street in the middle of Barnstaple's most walkable stretch, where Claytons & The Glasshouse has quietly become the kind of place locals actually book ahead for. The kitchen knows what it's doing—there's no showboating, just seasonal British cooking executed with real care and decent ingredients. The split personality between the more casual Claytons side and The Glasshouse works brilliantly; you can drop in for something straightforward or settle in for something more considered depending on your mood and how much time you've got.
