Chichester Arms in North Devon

A proper pub. Friendly staff, great beer, good choice of food and well cooked. Definitely the best place for a decent drink (and food) in Mortehoe. Food served until 8pm. Wide choice on menu.

A very welcoming pub with excellent food.

Another great meal in the local this evening… I can see this being a weekly event 👍

Great food and stout from Cornwall bar staff very friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend the sea food platter,👌😀

Good service but 4.5 star must be based on busy summer season, it does not meet that star rating anymore. Our food was deep fried, reheated or kept hot for too long. Very disappointed after reading such good reviews. I would not recommend anything if this is the out of season standard.

Crab salad very gritty and sandy mixed leafs shop brought a lot were wilted Chicken goujons burnt kids didn’t eat Steak and ale pie not nice at all pastry cold honest this is 100% truthful staff that serviced me were quite rude talking over me to each other the server was Yawning the whole way through order At the front of the bar they bring the deserts out for a server to keep microwaving very off putting never washed hands in between different deserts and serving ice cream No gloves worn very bad for the diary in tolerate people out there standards need improving afraid to say we won’t be back

We visit Mortehoe every year and we will never not come to the Chich- our favourite pub in the world 😄

Called in for a beer on way back from Woolacombe lovely little pub but on the expensive side 😮 1 glass of wine 1 pint of beer over £13 😮 wont be calling in again Here for a second week the pub around the corner The ship aground Perfect same 2 drinks less than £11 😁 when will these establishments learn that there outpricing themselves 🤔 your not that special just another pub.

Outstanding experience at the top of the hill of death! Stopped for a refresher after a day on the beach, and ended up staying for 6,and a meal, accompanied by the bare footed dj, playing chillout beach vibes!

The drop down options only allow one reason for a visit! The fact is that during a week's stay in Morthoe we went to the pub every day and enjoyed dinner, lunches and drinks there. The pub is run very professionally and all the staff are excellent - welcoming, friendly and efficient. There is a very good range of beers and ciders and the food is really good. The outside seating, including a covered pergola area, is great and, overall, this is a wonderful country pub.

Call in for food and a drink. Unfortunately Chick Fest was on so the menu was sparse. The kitchen wasn't busy at the time of ordering, Spicy bean burger with a side order of chips, Chilli Nachos, Pulled pork and cheesy chips. So the burger arrived, no chips, (had to ask twice), then the pulled pork was with nachos and the chilli came on chips!!! Not exactly a difficult order to get right. Haven't been here for 20 years because it was awful and needless to say won't be going again.

New team here this year, lovely friendly team Some nice dishes on the food extras board, main menu little boring, could do with a chilli or sausage and mash, fish and chips, chicken curry But lovely place to sit inside and out, no blaring tv s playing just good music

Great pub for lunch in the middle of Mortehoe

Had a cracking evening here, great atmosphere and friendly staff, I can highly recommend the goat curry, my mother in law had the Chickpea and butternut squash curry and my wife had the crab salad because she was being good lol portions were very generous particularly my mother in laws sticky toffee pudding desert, half an house brick in size, my wife and I had vanilla ice-cream with chocolate sauce and Bailey's, best not indulge in this one if you're driving as they are very generous with the Bailey's, a great end to a great holiday, thank you to all the staff, best wishes, darren, hannah and Joan 🍺🍺

Had a delicious Thai monkfish curry

Fantastic pint dartmoor legen with cheese and tomatoes sandwich hits the taste buds try it 😋

Popped in tonight while on holiday from Wales and nabbed one of the last parking spots, settled our dog at one of the tables and it wasn't long before we were scoffing down delicious homemade grub. My partner had one seriously meat packed Steak and Ale Pie and I polished off a BBQ cheese smothered chicken schnitzel - a huge thank you to the lovely welcoming and thoughtful staff - highly recommend!

We hiked the SWCP and lived right between Mortehoe and Woolacombe. Nice restaurant with a small, fine menu! Very, very tasty, very nice staff.

Lovely Sunday Roast and welcoming staff!

Excellent ales, good food, definitely worth a visit 👌

Superb local pub with brilliant food. Dave as a local host is great and very sociable! Can definitely recommend the ‘posh fish finger’ sandwich, and also the soup of the day. Very tasty

Lovely pub. Good ciders. Great food.

Visited several times over a long weekend at end of February. Friendly and welcoming pub, great staff and much enjoyed the ‘Proper Job’ IPA. Sunday lunch was fabulous, highly recommended

Friendly welcome and a decent pint

Popped in for lunch and a drink after a long walk around Morte Point. Dog friendly establishment, very welcoming and the food and drink were excellent. Fish finger sandwiches were fab served with some of the best chips we have ever had! My daughter had the ham and piccalilli and thoroughly enjoyed it

What a disappointment, went here with a friend of mine, we had been told about how good this place is and that the chef they had was doing good food. We got there an were told that half the menu wasn’t available but they had some substitutions. Well we won’t be coming back, the pulled pork dirty fries or what ever it was ment to be looked like it came out of a can, if I’m brutally honest it looked like cat food! My friend had the goat curry and it was below average, not much taste and bland! It seemed like the staff hadn’t been told about the menu changing as they looked confused. I’m sorry but we won’t be returning.

What a lovely pub! Stayed in Mortehoe over Christmas and was a daily visitor to the Chichester Arms, including on Christmas Day when it was pretty much full. Really friendly team of staff, well kept beers, and decent food too.

What a lovely pub. Nice warm greeting. Clean tables. We had Sunday lunch which was cooked to perfection for both my partner and myself. My partner is a vegetarian and simply adored her nut-roast, whilst I went for a traditional roast beef which along with veggies was a very,very enjoyable bite. The food was delivered hot & was fresh. We are definitely coming back to sample lunch & dinner menu during the week.

Wrap up well, it's cold in there! Limited menu choices. Nut roast was dry and resembled cereal bar made of baked leftovers. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Lovely quaint atmospheric pub, the food was served swiftly and was superb. Efficient and friendly staff behind the bar who worked exceptionally hard.

Great Sunday roast. Very good atmosphere. Will definitely visit again when we come back.

Stopped for a sandwich and a cup of tea. As well as food and drinks they happily dispense info on local sites, routes etc. Nice people.Thanks to them we found the bike route.

First time visiting. Really nice pub had the special fish chowder which I thought was fantastic. Wife had scampu which she enjoyed. Decent selection of beers and ciders. Dogs welcome. Will go back later on the week.

Great food lovely young lad behind the bar, trying to get used to the till. Blonde girl, quite cocky and made a comment which wasn't necessary. Word from the wise...Young lady....remember you were a new starter once, every body deserves a chance. Respect is earned. And you had none.

Fab place ,food was really good as our the drinks, staff were really friendly. Well worth a visit especially ifwalking the sw coast path

A great little local pub. Perfect end to a walk. Unfortunately, I can’t justify more than three stars when two of us had the crab sandwich and got only a smear of brown crab meat for £12.50 a head! Would never order that dish again but would gladly be back. The chips were great!

Best pub in the area. Beer kept very well, good food & friendly staff. Highly recommended. 😁👍🍺

We arrived at 1.55pm thinking that the carvery was open till 2.30pm but it finished at 2pm. Not a problem though because the barmaid put our order through promptly. The food was delicious, fresh and hot. We shall return this week but unfortunately go home to Suffolk on Friday.

Great food lovely pub nice ales. Very reasonably priced family, pets welcome

Walked from Woolacombe and this was the first pub at the top of the hill. My husband ordered 2 drinks - everything ok. Later i ordered 2 alcohol free bottles of lager 1 pint on lager 1 packet of crisps and 1 bag of nuts, it wasn’t until we got home i realised it was £22.80. The old barman said that is an expensive option but as 1 of us would be driving later it was a choice. £22.80 was rather OTT so beware when visiting this place!!!!!!!!

Friendly family run pub. Very popular. We have frequented the Chichester for over 25 years, but the current team are superb. Excellent Food, drink & staff. What more do you want

Lovely pub with chilled music in the carpark and visiting caterers. The fish was amazing! Park up the road to get a space in the designated car park and easy walk down the road.

Great little pub drinks were good price local ales we're great food had the goat curry and linguini. Great value and atmosphere and dogs are welcome

Reading the other reviews we were expecting a surly welcome but we visited a few times for drinks over the August bank holiday weekend and we found all of the bar staff and the landlord to be really friendly. Really rustic and traditional inside with They a good selection of local ales and lagers. We didn’t try the food unfortunately. Nice beer garden outside and entertainment such as DJ and local bands in the car park some evenings. Would definitely call in again when passing.

Beautiful little pub in Mortehoe. We went here after a hike up from Woolacombe we found it buzzing with street food, a live DJ and great local beers... fantastic

The selection of on tap drinks is good as is the food for a post walk lunch.

Fantastic establishment, with wonderful service, a great atmosphere inside and out. There was also live music one of the evenings we were there.

Such a lovely spot, such a shame about the man behind the bar. Greeted with " If you've come for food we have stopped serving" I explained we would like a drink. " I'm busy at the moment I'll come back' He didn't and after the queue had reached 4 more people, 10 minutes later we left. What an odd pub, great if you are not a customer.

A great pint but very unfriendly staff. Doesn't cost to say hello or smile. Almost felt the tumbleweed as we entered but clearly full of holiday makers! The guy who resembled a landlord burnt a hole in my soul with his stare! It's a pub therefore it will have people contact. Change your style or make widgets for a living!

The food was great, and it didn't take long at all for 5 meals. Love coming back each year and sitting down with a nice cold drink after a hike.

Beautiful food and friendly service by the bar staff. Lovely pub

Great pub in Mortoe, park in the pay and display car park and walk round, the car park at the pub is for staff only.

Worst pub meal I have ever had. Meat pie-no pastry, just cold meat with an uncooked pastry lid. Total rubbish. Whole meal cold, meat rubbish. It couldn't have been worse. Do not go there. You will be disappointed.

Great local beers and seafood, bit pricey but most pubs are in North Devon. Recommend

Having been for a walk an exploring Morte Hoe, we found this pub, expecting it to be a typical establishment for the local area,(full of tourists an traps to get people to spend money) it’s not like that, good beer, and some amazing food, we had the Scotch Egg to start, then I had the ribs and my partner had the Orzo pasta dish, the ribs were amazing and so tender, my partner said her spicy butternut pasta dish was perfect an not to spicy, we popped our heads to the kitchen widow to say thank you, see you next visit Dan

Slow at the bar when there's a queue but food is good. Nice overall......

This must rate as one of the worse pub meals I have ever had! Supposed to be steak and ale pie. First it wasn't a pie. Pies have a pastry base containing meat usually cooked in gravy/ale. This so called pie had some unbelievably dry cold meat sitting on a plate, with a cold undercooked pastry topping!! The topping was white when it should be slightly brown if it is cooked. Only managed to eat this junk by asking for some hot gravy which my wife and I used to soak the cold meat and pastry topping. Interesting that another customer sent her meal back saying it was cold! Sad because I used to use this pub about ten years ago and my favourite meal was steak and ale pie which was brilliant. Obviously not the same owners/chef. Will definitely not be going back!1

Excellent pub with great choice of local beers. We have visited on previous occasions when staying in Woolacombe and walking in the area, but this was the first time that we have sat outside in the sun having lunch and it was great to do so. There was a good choice of sandwiches on offer, although sadly when we visited the crab was unavailable. We had the Coronation Chick Pea and Cheese and Chutney sandwiches, both of which were really tasty and came with a side salad. Nice selection of local beers and cider including Otter Bitter and Otter Bright and they were well kept and in excellent condition. Service was quick and the bar staff were really friendly.

Food was absolutely brilliant, and there was plenty of it. I had a lovely Ploughman's, other adults had Devon Crab Salad and Posh Fosh Finger Sarnie. Kids menu was small but varied enough, spaghetti bolognaise and cheeseburger for our two. Very friendly and attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere

Popular, friendly village pub. No public car parking - but that's not unusual for this tiny hamlet. Food available but Monday &Tuesday's you have to use adjacent carpark food stall - who deliver into the pub it's good and quaint. Recommended.

Long walk and they didn't have food! Drinks were fine. Service was abrupt but some may like that.

We were on Holiday in Woolacombe and decided to Give the meals a second chance as the food quality did go down. I must be honest and say the meals were outstanding, most of us experienced the ploughman’s great plate. To make this meal a 10 out 10 I would like to see a couple more types of cheeses. Apart from that would highly recommend.

Friendly staff but shame the Ploughman’s I had didn’t match up!! One slice of shop bought fatty ham and a small wedge of mediocre cheddar. The bread roll was the best part of this, lovely and crusty and warm. There was about a whole bag of mixed leaves salad that was old, yellow and even a couple of soggy bits mixed in - obviously not been checked before serving. I realise I should have pointed all this out and asked for a refund on the £12.50 paid but was on holiday and felt rather embarrassed but did show the guy who appeared in charge when leaving as I handed him the plate-no offer of refund so left and I feel justified in leaving this review.

Absolute gem of Mortehoe 😍 All staff are so welcoming & friendly. We had halloumi burger & chips and scampi & chips, was lush! Great portion size, excellent value for money, good selection of beers & ciders. Super dog friendly location, can't wait to visit again!

Very dark place, sorry not for me .

Excellent pub. Good food, friendly staff. Outdoor garden with some shade.

We came across this gem by chance after trying to avoid over busy Woolacombe and what a find! Lovely friendly staff and gorgeous food! Lots of variety to choose from and all freshly made and served quickly. It was a bonus that it is a dog friendly pub too (they do have a non dog section if preferred) It was so good here that we changed our plans for the following day so we could go back again!

Friendly staff at a much needed pit stop on a long walk on a hot day

Lovely little pub as you walk up the long hill from Woolacombe Beach. This was on a Sunday before Bank Holiday Monday and they had a DJ playing very loud music from a table within the car park. This doesn't represent the lovely little village of Mortehoe

Perfect end to a long coast path walk. Interesting menu with a really good range of choices to suit every palate - my husband had the goat curry - I had fishcake with coleslaw, salad and new potatoes. Both were excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive and really made everyone feel welcome.

Great pub, nice outside seating

Not bad pub, pretty busy on a bank holiday weekend - food was ok too Had some local DJ playing outside which would have been better if the music selection was better and at a lower volume. Mortehoe isn't San Antonio or Sunny Beach

Nice local feel, welcoming and dog friendly

It's a good battle cruiser with Bew wine and aperitif...s

Great pub food and very friendly bar and catering staff. We’d called for a drink during the day after a coastal walk and the food smelt so good we decided to go back later and were not disappointed. Would visit again.

Friendly place, meals are delicious and our furry friendl welcome. Perfect!

Fantastic Goat curry. Family friendly, good beers decent price.

Nice quite pub good range of beers

Local pub with a very tasty Sunday lunch. The vegan chocolate orange sponge was delicious.

Great pub with great food and a good selection of beers. Dog friendly and was a perfect end to our walk around Morte Point.

We were delighted to stumble upon this gem of a place up the hill from our weekend away apartment. The atmosphere, service, beer and food were all brilliant. We even returned the next day.

The pub is lovely. The staff were lovely. Clean, quaint, warm and inviting. Priced reasonably for the area. BUT the food was quite terrible! Sunday Lunch was incredibly overcooked beef 3 roast potatoes that were so pale and undercooked and were from frozen. Cauliflower cheese...

Visited twice for evening food and drinks - really friendly staff, good food choice/quality and decent beer.

Food awful, staff rude. Expensive Needs a renovation project. A lot of Food not available . Steak bloody, not listened to on ordering. Never again, have written a complaint.

We arrived late looking for 4 adults and 2 children to have a meal, the guy behind the bar went out of his way to ensure we got a seat, the food was excellent and the pudding to die for, really friendly staff who made...

There were 10 of us and we were all seated and served promptly. Staff were very friendly and the food was good value for money. The DJ is a bad idea as we walked away that night.

Awful service, wife arrived whilst i parked, asked where ok to sit with dog, asked if food, sat where told and ordered round of drinks. When i arrived told couldn't sit there with dog no other tables available , also only then told no main...

A really lovely local pub which sits in this delightful and quiet village. Well kept pints like Proper Job and Otter Ale. For some reason they occasionally have a really incongruous DJ playing stupidly loud music which can be heard from way beyond the village....

Ignore the bad reviews this place is fantastic! I genuinely can’t understand how anyone could have a bad word to say about it, Having left the Ship Aground (which should be called the shipwreck) in disgust we were welcomed here with open arms. Food great,...

Worst ploughman's ever , do you even know what a ploughman's is ? Shared ploughman's just awful I'm sorry.. beer not good a waaaaay over priced.. you would do much better being fair and offering value for money, we'd perhaps have used your pub a...

We were in a party of 6 with 3 dogs,so were lucky to find a table. Good basic pub grub,steak pie was fantastic. On reading previous reviews,i find it surprising that some people found the staff unfriendly,we thought they were lovely with a good sense...

Arrived on a Wednesday evening wanting an evening meal with our family and dog whilst on holiday. Lady on the bar wasn’t particularly pleasant or welcoming. We had one drink and decided not to stay.

Food, staff, cleanliness all brilliant ... People are moaning about the prices BUT please remember ... You're not at your local. You're at a 'local' in North Devon which probably caters for locals as much as holiday-makers. Locals were in there when we arrived and...

A welcome break for an ice cold pint of cider after coastal walk from ilfracombe to Woolacombe. Pleasant staff and location,buy far too many noisy dogs.

Popped in for a couple of pints and nearly fell over £5.60 for a pint of ale !!! Was going to have a couple but left after one, false economy guys you'd have made more by keeping the price reasonable

Welcoming pub in a little village, the staff are really friendly and chatty, giving us some great advise on where to visit and eat in the surrounding areas, if we hadn’t of been driving I think my husband could of easily sat there all day!...

Really amazing friendly village pub with usual pub grub plus Goat Curry and Thai green curry which we had . Both cooked from fresh and tasted amazing . Brilliant pint of Proper Job too .. would highly recommend it

A lovely local pub selling good beer and food. My husband and i had lunch here today, 1 pint of Legend ale, 1 pint stowford press, crab sandwich with side of chips, and a falafel salad. The food, drink, and staff were all brilliant, a...

We are down here from Yorkshire for 10 days we visited this pub last week for the first time and my experience was poor the grey haired bar man which I presume is the owner/manager didn’t appear to want to serve a Yorkshire accent as...

So a bit of a walk yesterday , Morthoe halfway point , couple of pints in order, Chichester Arms , just the ticket . Friendly staff, no issues there, ordered a pint of local ale and a packet of crisps…£6.40! Really? C’mon, I know times...
