The outdoor tables have a lovely view. It&rsquo;s a nice spot to sit. The eggs benedict was good, came out quick, and the price was fair.

The Sunday roast beef was cooked just right, not overdone. The portion was huge, I couldn&#39;t finish it all. Good value for the price.

Popped into this old village pub for a pint. The lounge bar is a proper cosy spot, low ceilings and a real fire. Just the kind of place you want to hunker down in on a damp afternoon. Pint was spot on.

Been coming here for years. The crumble is always spot on, just like you&#39;d make at home. Portions are decent, never feel like you&#39;re being short-changed on the plate. Prices are fair for what you get.

Lunch visit, got a table easily. Calamari was good, kids finished their bolognese. Service was prompt and friendly, which helped with a quick meal.

Popped in for the Sunday roast. The beef was really tender, and the Yorkshire pudding had that perfect crisp edge. Veg still had a bit of crunch, which I liked. Decent portion, felt like a proper homemade meal.

Came for the Sunday roast. That roast beef was just spot on, really tender and flavourful. The walnut brownie after was a nice touch too. Good spot for a lazy weekend lunch.

Handy spot right by the ferry. Popped in for a quick bite before catching the steam train. The portion for the fish and chips was decent, but at &pound;16.50, I did expect a bit more on the plate. It filled me up, just.

Nice spot for a pre-Christmas prosecco. A bit pricey for the pour, but a good break from shopping.

Been coming here for years, it&rsquo;s a proper local spot. The owners always remember you. Menu&rsquo;s simple but they do a solid roast on Sundays. Portions are decent, nothing fancy. Just a reliable meal.

The room was so spacious and clean, just what I needed. It&#39;s a busy pub downstairs, but honestly, you wouldn&#39;t know it up here. So quiet. A really comfy spot to unwind.

The afternoon tea was lovely. I really appreciated how fresh the sandwich fillings were, and the scones were still warm. A proper treat.

Been coming here for years, and the pizzas are always spot on. The base is just right &ndash; not too doughy, holds up well. The four cheese and pepperoni are my go-to. Just wish they&#39;d keep napkins stocked for the outdoor tables, that&#39;s all.

Very accommodating for our large group. The chips were a highlight, and they handled dietary requests well.

The pepperoni pizza with spicy honey was spot on. Had it with a pint in the sunshine. The pressed lamb shoulder inside was really succulent. Can&#39;t beat this spot on a sunny evening.

The room was a good size and spotless, which was nice. Plenty of space to spread out without feeling cramped. Handy for exploring Sidmouth, too.

The mussels in creamy sauce were a generous portion, really hit the spot. Staff were attentive without being overbearing.

Lovely spot by the water. The burger was really tasty, and the wrap too. I appreciated the comfortable seating, made it easy to relax and enjoy the view.

Lovely spot for a drink by the water. The outdoor seating really gives you that holiday feeling on a sunny day.

The roast beef sandwich was really tasty, the beef was tender and the bread fresh. Portion was generous with a nice side salad. Owners were lovely, made us feel welcome. A solid lunch spot.

Took the kids here for a late lunch. The dedicated play area was a real plus, kept them occupied. My mushroom linguine was solid, good flavour. Menu has decent variety. Service was efficient.

The tasting menu was a real treat. Every course looked stunning, like a little piece of art on the plate. The flavours were spot on, and the wine pairings just worked with each dish. A lovely, relaxed evening.

The wine was chilled just right. Had a glass with the steak, really hit the spot. Good list to choose from.

The tasting menu was pricey but honestly, the portions were generous enough that I left comfortably full. You get what you pay for with the quality of the local ingredients.

Been coming here for years. The seafood salad&#39;s always solid, good chunks of mackerel p&acirc;t&eacute;, decent smoked salmon and prawns. Fresh, simple, no fuss. It&#39;s my usual starter.

Been coming here for years, and the marina view from the window tables is still the main draw for me. Perfect for a quiet evening watching the boats. The sunset last week was a real treat.

The sea view from the table was the real star. We had a window seat and it was just stunning, especially as the sun started to go down. The outdoor garden looked really nice too, will have to come back in warmer weather to try it.

Great spot for a grey afternoon. Staff were really friendly, and the harbour view is lovely. Menu had some solid gluten-free and vegan options. Portions are generous, and they&#39;re dog-friendly too.

The team here, shoutout to Dion, really made us feel looked after. So friendly and attentive without being overbearing. A nice change from the usual rushed service you get these days.

Stumbled upon this spot and was impressed. The ingredients were so fresh, you could really taste the quality in every bite.
