Still our favourite spot in Sidmouth. Had the lobster again this time &ndash; the meat was sweet and perfectly cooked, just like we remembered from last year. The vibe is as lovely as ever.

Just a short stroll from the harbour. It was pretty quiet when we dropped by. The dirty fries are the real star here &ndash; loaded with all the good stuff, you&#39;ve gotta try them to see what the fuss is about. So good!

Popped in for a browse, and the mushroom section is incredible. So many fresh local varieties I&#39;d never seen before. Ended up leaving with a little bottle of truffle oil, which was a nice treat.

The fish and chips were spot on. Light, crisp batter and the cod was cooked perfectly.

The scones were lovely and warm, served with really nice jam. Just a really good cream tea.

Always spotless when I visit. The tables are cleared quickly, floors look clean. It just feels comfortable to sit down for a meal here, you know? Makes a difference.

Great spot for lunch by the sea. The full English breakfast is cooked fresh, which I really appreciate. China plates are a nice touch for a beach cafe.

The new ordering screens are handy. Got the spicy chicken ramen, broth was rich and the noodles had a good bite. The chicken itself was a bit dry though.

Nice view of the river. Solid veggie options. Had the mushroom risotto, decent portion. A bit pricey for what it is, but okay.

This pub is a great local spot with friendly staff and a nice selection of beers. I enjoyed my meal and will definitely be returning with friends soon.

Booked for a birthday. The chocolate cheesecake was the star - rich, not too sweet, with a perfect crumbly base. Staff were really friendly, had a nice chat after. Good vibe in the room.

Popped in just before closing, and they still had a good selection of vegan options. Really appreciated that the ingredients felt fresh, even late in the day. The staff were lovely and offered a complimentary drink, which was a nice touch.

The chips were surprisingly fresh and crispy, a nice change from the usual soggy ones. Good portion size too.

The prawn cocktail was lovely, really fresh and crisp. Generous portion too. I always look for that quality in the seafood. The full English was cooked nicely, but the eggs could have been a touch less oily for my taste. Still, a solid choice for a weekend brunch.

A proper local spot, buzzing on a Saturday night. The old-school jazz in the background was just right for our group catch-up. We ended up staying way longer than planned!

The sausage rolls are so good here, hot and fresh. Way better than the ones you get from the big chains. The bacon and cheese slice was a real highlight too. Perfect for grabbing a quick bite with a friend.

Busy spot but worth the wait. Tried their homemade pistachio ice cream - you can really taste the nuts, and the texture is spot on. Grabbed a cone and wandered around the market.

Decent prices for a spot right by the sea. The menu&#39;s got good Thai food and simple toasties too, so everyone found something they liked.

Been coming here for years and the food&#39;s always spot on. Menu&#39;s got enough variety to keep things interesting.

The white hot chocolate was lovely, and the Maltese blondie was a nice treat. Service was friendly and efficient, made for a pleasant afternoon. The blondie was perhaps a touch too sweet for my taste, but still enjoyable.

Grabbed a quick slice of cappuccino cake and a coffee upstairs. Perfect for a fast bite. The sun was streaming in, windows open, really nice spot to just switch off for 20 mins. Cake was spot on.

Great spot for a quick bite. Right by the seafront and station. Grabbed a sandwich and sat at one of the tables across the road by the river. Perfect for a fast, casual lunch. Service was quick, which is all I needed.
