"This pub/restaurant is one the of the most welcoming and friendly ever! Three of us spent a weekend up in North Devon and definitely agree that we couldn't have asked for a better 'local' to our campsite! The real ales selection were great, the food was lovely and the people even better...definitely worth a visit..and we'll be back again for sure!"

The staff are very friendly indeed and made me feel very at home! The food was excellent and all in all I felt I was in my local pub, home from home (which is Oxfordshire). Barbabra and staff were always happy to help I would recommend this pub to anyone! Loved it!

Staff were very very and flexible when we asked to move around several tables so that we could all talk together.
The food, wine and beer were all excellent.

Top food and enough to feed a small army in each portion.
Barbara is a great host and this place really is fantastic on all fronts.
Interesting artwork in the gents as well

We arrived as a big group of 24 and the service was great. All the food orders came out simultaneously with no mistakes. Food was good value and quality. A very enjoyable evening and we were very well looked after by the staff.

Spent the weekend in Devon diving. Went to Hele Billys 3 nights on the trot. The service and the food was outstanding every time. The staff were friendly and welcoming with a good sense of humour. Put this on the "must visit list" if visiting the area.

Two great meals (Chilli, then half shoulder of lamb) over two nights and traditional puddings. No fancy messing with layers. Good, well looked after, beer too. Always a plus ;-) If the busy night I saw last w/e is anything to go by, booking ahead is recommended too.

Superb Food and a great welcome. We dined at Hele Billys 3 times over the past weekend on Saturday we squeezed 23 into the restaurant and couldn't have been happier with the service

This is the best pub food in the Ilfracombe area by a country mile. Quality and consistency from Simon are signs of an excellent chef. Barbara serves an excellent pint of real ale

While on holiday in Hele Valley came across Hele Billy's and found the food and the staff good. We ate there on several occasions and also just popped in for a drink and a few games of pool. Great since the no smoking ban came into force and the place has been steam cleaned. Nice atmosphere

Great restaurant owned by Barbara and Simon since December 2005, assisted by daughters Farah and Maxine. Many home made dishes, freshly cooked and great quality. Relaxed atmosphere and good fun. Only a small place so make sure you book at weekends.
