I have just got back from visiting Bude with my mother and would like to draw potential visitors attention to two aspects which really stood out from our visit.

I would recommend Trev's Taxi as the only way to travel around Bude. Trev's knowledge of local activities along with the places to eat and visit is second to none: he provided the perfect guide to life in the town.
As well as being prompt and reliable to help us fulfil a hectic schedule, Trev went the extra mile in provided a personable service and putting a smile on our faces with his cheerful and good humoured conversation: a real credit to his profession.
It was on his recommendation that we visited Life's a Beach and the food and service were of the highest order. The prawn and monkfish main course was food heaven, and the waiter's down to earth and humourous nature made for the perfect dining experience.
The Brendon Arms on a Jazz night is also the place to be. The staff we attentive and friendly: the food and entertainment was good and plentiful.
