My aim as a taxi company owner is to sample each and every local restaurant and bar to enable me to pass on personal 'recommendations' to my customers. Elements is situated on the cliff tops overlooking Bude and the North Atlantic. The former name of this gem was 'The Chough Hotel' but renovated and renamed for the start of the 2005 season. Firstly booking is advisable. Do not expect to have a 'quick meal' you are encouraged to take a drink of your choice to study and order from a well presented menu of the day. When your first choice of starter is ready you are guided to your table. Service and food is to a very high standard and presentation. Main Courses are a delight and again well presented to a very high standard for a very modest price (a real Cornish Gem!). This is one of those establishments where I found it possible and a joy to sit with the family around a table and talk without the normal home distractions (TV, Phone Etc.) A very pleasant 3 Hours was allowed from entry to finishing coffee outside on the veranda (this review for a summer visit!!). I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant as one of the best for Bude
