Eddystone Inn in South Hams - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My wife Debbie and I were a walk in couple on bank holiday Sunday. We arrived at 12 after a lovely cliff walk from Bovey sands to Eddystone inn. Ordered a coffee each and sat on the terrace to enjoy the views and peaceful location. At the bar there is a sign explaining that walk ins may not get a table for food as pre booked guests have priority. No problem to us but thought I would ask anyway. A lovely young lady said she could fit us in at 12 but would have to be finished by two as it was booked for 2. Again no problem. Ordered fish chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce. Wife had a steak and ale pie veg and again triple cooked chips with gravy. Both portions were of a lovely size. My fish was fresh and the batter light and crispy. My wife’s pie was apparently yummy. But both decided the chips were delicious. I could not fault our food, our service or the lovely ice cold lagers. The waitress is a credit to this establishment and for £42 for the quality we had we will definitely be back. Thanks again. Maybe we will park in the car park next time as the walk to Bovey with full bellies was definitely harder 🤣🤗

For the moment, 3 different sites for the Eddystone all fail to work/load. So you would not know that in fact you couldn't get food on a Sunday lunchtime. What sort of pub is it that clearly advertises food, yet you can't be served without pre-booking, despite the majority of tables being empty. Yes, outside you can sit with a lovely view in weak sunshine and a drink, but inside you will be met with a permanent NO or DON'T KNOW.

Visited with my boyfriend for dinner while down in the area. We liked the look of the menu online and it certainly didn't disappoint! The food was amazing and the service fantastic! A very friendly and welcoming pub. Great views and we had a brilliant evening. Would highly recommend a visit!

My husband & I had never been to the Eddystone Inn and decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary and have a meal there. There are 2 small car parks and we had no problem parking but maybe difficult at peak times of the year or at weekends. We had a drink in the bar area first and had booked a table in the restaurant part of the Inn. The bar area allowed dogs and was family friendly. The Inn was very friendly and welcoming and had a cosy feel. The menu was simple no starters but there was tapas you could have I suppose. We opted for mixed meats on sourdough for a starter to share, it was lovely but a little smaller than we expected. Our mains were superb. A local burger, triple cooked chips and coleslaw and I had the Mexican flavoured Prawn Tacos which were lovely and well presented. Nice selection of wines and fairly priced. There was desserts on a specials board but no room for us after our mains. Great service lovely sea views are possible and a big terrace outside. We would happily return a great gastro pub and an enjoyable evening.

Visited last night for some dinner. Food was absolutely amazing. you can really taste the quality of the ingredients and attention to detail. With it being a busy Saturday night we expected a wait but food arrived quickly and the staff were friendly and attentive. Will defo be returning. Keep it up👍

Great location overlooking the sea

We have visited many times and have had everything from roasts to the new special on a Sunday evening - burger night! The team are absolutely outstanding, nothing is ever too much trouble and the food is always delicious. Great all round menu with something for everyone and every child. The setting is spectacular - an absolutely fantastic venue, we love it!!

Lovely place overlooking the sea my brother and I stopped here while on a coastal walk. The staff were friendly and informative. Really enjoyed our time here.

The Eddystone Inn is one of our favourite pubs to stop at for some good food after a walk along the coastal path. The food is consistently good here and also value for money. You can’t go wrong with that view either - stunning! The triple cooked chips are some of the best I’ve had. Vegetarians - plenty of great options. I recommend the vegetarian quiche, it’s my personal favourite and the chips are divine 😊

One pint of larger, one pint of diet coke, two packs of crisps £12:50p. A rip off how can they charge such a price. Won't be going back and no recommendation to family and friends

Had a very nice lunch there on Thursday, marvellous views of Plymouth sound area. Staff very friendly & a lovely distention with the dog walks .

My favourite place in Cornwall.

A bit tired outside and won the highest price beer of the week award Great views

Frequently very busy so good to book food ahead else it's chips only. Lovely view outside, very nice

Cannot fault our visit in anyway. We always come here for special meals to celebrate and this time was as perfect as any other. Great food, lovely view, good atmosphere and very friendly and attentive staff (thank you Dan and Lauren). Thanks for the great time!

Didn't eat but beautiful location, stunning views, very dog friendly, great looking menu! (beer Also well kept)

Beautiful views, coffe fab, friendly staff Although we didn't eat the food looked fab too.

Great food and drink. Bowls of chips have shrunk in the last 12 months.

Basically an old pub, that's trying its best to look upmarket.. Limited menu choices, everything seems to be vastly overpriced, and our table was literally behind a support pillar. The service was good, with polite and friendly staff.

Lovely view, great pint, we didn't est, but food coming out looked good.

Visited on 7th April. Can’t fault the location. Service was ‘good’ and food ‘nice’. Disappointed with the seton mess desert and emailed the next day for a response to our issue (1 raspberry with artificial cream topped with a piece of meringue in a martini glass). I would not have written a trip advisor review had they got back to me but sadly my email was not acknowledged. For that reason it is unlikely I’ll return which is a shame. Enjoyed the main meal and the waitress was lovely so can’t give lower or higher than a 3*

We weren't warned about the Sunday end of service time. Two of us had ordered puddings but we both had to accept a next best thing AND pay for it before it was served. Otherwise, very enjoyable.

Amazing food. lovely staff. great view.

Good food reasonable prices and the location is amazing.

Friendly staff, quick service and good value

Great pub, consistently terrible service. Staff don’t seem to care about serving people. Restaurant is always a disappointment. Shame as it is in such a great location! Waited for 10 minutes to be served (despite no one else waiting), to be told the pub would be closing in 8 minutes!

Awesome location and awesome food, if you haven’t been, you are missing out. Thanks guys food was spot on ☺️

Very nice food, beef tender, nice and hot. Friendly staff.

Lovely atmosphere Great food. First class service

Pleasant atmosphere, very clean, and attentive staff.

Beautiful setting and fabulous staff, even the dogs loved it

A very welcoming and homely pub. Really great meal was had by us all(7) people. Great service and a really lovely atmosphere and place. Would love to go back in the summer when the fantastic view can be appreciated and possibly able to eat on one of the great terraces overlooking the sea. Staff were very polite and provided a quick and efficient service. Prices were really good too. . The log fire was very much appreciated on a cold and very rainy night. Would definitely recommend this place.

Visited on a recommendation and can highly recommend myself! Good Food choices, waitress service and quick service for hot food. Parking outside, fantastic views and very popular with dog walkers

Lovely pub on a fantastic coastal walk. The food is hit and miss, but mostly hit and definitely worth the gamble

Excellent - definitely my favourite coastal pub Visited many times since and still love it although the prices for coffee (if that's what you want) are a bit overpriced compared to many comparable pubs. Great coffee but a bit unreasonable pricewise.

beautiful location and nice beer

Great location and a restaurant vibe with free parking. After walking the coast line we popped in for a drink, the barmaid was unhappy and everyone else obviously felt the same way. We were going to stay for more but decided to move back, amazing views and a great location but that’s where It end’s.

I felt our food took a while to come, We finished our fizzy drinks before the food came and considering the restaurant end of the pub was empty. The salad and chips were great. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the other food I ordered. The server kindly took it away. I was offered another dish from the menu, which looked and tasted nice, but not what I wanted.

Three amazing roasts and super pie and chips a real fire and a stunning view. Where would you rather be.

Great food, good staff, excepts dogs!! Recommend for a tasty meal!! We had 2 dinners with dessert - so good we had to return!!!

Dropped in for a drink while walking the coast. Fast service. Did not eat so can not comment but looked good.

We walked from bovisand along the costal path , the eddystone is a modern, clean and friendly pub, we sat outside even though it was October half term , we just had a bowl Of chips and a loaded chips with bbq pulled pork which were both tasty , the poor chap waiting on was rushed off his feet yet kept smiling , good drinks on offer and the food on other tables looked lovely . Views are fantastic

Popped in for a midweek lunch. Wanted fish and chips. Great staff wonderful food and the sun was out. What could be better.

Most beautiful views to enjoy with a pint

Great food and staff and a view to die for.

Lovley evening, parked easy, plenty of empty tables, told they could not cater for two walkins. Very disappointed.

Good views from the terrace. Food portions are generous. The chips with garlic and pecorino are lush!

Lovely meal, superb views. Good menu and food was well presented and very tasty. Prices were what you’d expect to pay.

I haven't been to the Eddystone in a long time but went for lunch and a dinner in the same week. Food was good, I had a pasta dish the first time & chicken the second time & it was really nice. There is a wait when ordering food but that's because I imagine it is freshly prepared to order, it seemed that. The views are fantastic while you wait anyway and there was a good choice of ales & ciders. Would definitely go back. Found the service really good and welcoming even though they were busy.

We visited this pub twice in one week so it shows we did like it. Food was amazing the first time secon time they were short staffed which can't be helped however we waited 1hr and 10m for our food. 3 of the dishes were pasta which was dry and luke warm after obviously sitting for some time. No toilet roll in the ladies but 7 empty rolls. Shame it really put us off the second visit, although the staff apologised one staff member came across as being slightly rude advising these wait times are normal. Overall I would still recommend as it seemed that night was a one off and the food and views are amazing.

The Eddy has changed hands so many times since we've been coming here (20+ years) but the food is now as good as it's ever been. The views and setting have always been great but the interior is now more modern and in keeping with the location, and the food is very good. Service wasn't great this time. Nice table by the window, decent range of choices on a 'pub classics' type menu (although pie of the day sold out by 7pm). Couldn't see any starters though. Quite a long wait for meals to arrive (50 mins+) and had to go to the bar to get more drinks as nobody came near the table. Food very good when it arrived, burgers in particular clearly home made and very tasty. Nobody came to clear the table or take desert/drinks orders until I went and asked 15-20 mins after we'd finished. There seemed to be a lot of staff around but not doing the basics of table service. When we were leaving a guy was stood at the empty bar for ages while other staff cleaned tables nearby - he clearly wanted to pay but nobody even acknowledged him, I'd have left! Did order a couple of deserts but they didn't match menu descriptions. lemon roulade with lemon sorbet came with vanilla ice-cream and a thin strawberry jam like sauce. The honeycomb cheesecake with salted caramel ice-cream came with...vanilla ice-cream and a thin strawberry jam like sauce. Whatever the sauce was it didn't go well with either. Perhaps they were out of the salted caramel and sorbet but best just to tell customers than plonk on an alternative and hope they don't notice. So, overall, good food, pleasant surroundings and some friendly/welcoming staff but pretty naff service when it came to timings and attentiveness.

Food and service was okay. A stunning location to have a roast dinner

Gorgeous Devon coastal pub. Great choice of beers, good lunchtime light bite menu.

Beautiful setting and the building was really nice. The steps down were newly finished, with a non slip gravel plus edging. The entrance was very welcoming and it was all decorated to a very high standard. The staff were very friendly and polite, and we sat outside which was stunning. We waited 30+ minutes for our pasta, which looked rather small for £14 each! It was also cold, I told the lady and she said it would be replaced. After waiting an hour in total the “freshly made” replacement meal arrived, it was also lukewarm and the pasta was sticky, like it had been reheated. Needless to say it was extremely disappointing! ☹️

Picturesque location and good service however one of our choices of fish and chips although generous sized fish was undercooked and opaque in approximately half the portion. Reported this to staff and hope our comments were feedback to the chef. May well return for drinks but not the food from this visit.

Nice food, shame about the wait, visited twice, first time an hour and a half wait, second time (despite asking if there would be a long wait because of our last visit) an hour! Having said that, staff were great and views were amazing so if you have time to wait then this is a must!

Really nice food - we had lunch - and reasonably priced

We walked here from Wembury on a Monday lunchtime and the climb up the hill was definitely worth it! The food was top notch, with the only criticism possible being their need to put the chips (which were cut in a unique way that made them extra crunchy and delicious) in a little frying basket… why??? The summer seafood chowder was superb but just another little niggle that the bread came out a little later than the main. These are very small details and probably harshly, the only reason why they don’t get a 5 rating. Solid 4.5 if TA let you so that. Oh yeah, the view… spectacular

We can recommend the food. It was very tasty if a tad expensive. £17 for pie and mash....... Think about booking because most / all tables inside were reserved. Therefore, they don't really need passing trade. We just turned up. We felt a little awkward as it was clear the bookings came first. Wouldn't visit again due to this.

Beautiful location, beautiful view, tasty beers and ciders on tap and from the bottle. No service, order drinks inside and pick them up at the bar. But it doesn't say that anywhere, so first you just sit and wait on the terrace.

Lovely pub, beautiful view of the see. Good food and nice pint

Really friendly pub with lovely food and lovely people! The fish and chips were some of the best fish and chips we've ever had. It's dog friendly too which was perfect, I'd definitely recommend coming here if you're doing the coastal walk through Wembury

Great atmosphere, nice people, really great cuisine and the dogs are allowed in.

We had a large family lunch at the Eddystone. The pre-order was really straightforward to do and the menu selection suited everyone. On the day the team were fantastic, Mia in particular who is warm, welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make sure we had a nice time. On top of this, the building itself is lovely and the views are hard to beat. We can’t reconnect enough.

Lovely dog friendly pub with fantastic view from the terrace. Service was great and food really nice. Highly recommend!

Sat outside on sunny spacious terrace with sea views. Just had a drink. Friendly atmosphere.

Disappointed! Cold food , menu mostly burgers , food took ages , menu didn't have a great choice , two vegans in our party weren't impressed either .

Amazing food, great service and outstanding views! Burgers were amazing and worth the coastal walk.

Lovely outdoor seating area with view of the sea. Perfect sun spot

Lovley clean place beautiful views staff very friendly and helpful had a very relaxing meal with friends

We had an amazing roast dinner. Really fresh vegetables and tender meat. Staff really attentive

Wonderful views, great go ood quality food.

Amazing little pub the vegi satay was on point

The amazing new menu has so much choice now it was really hard to decide, it had one of the best pub menus I’ve seen. 4 of us sat outside and we had burgers, lasagne and caesar salad. Could not fault anything, all good size portions and absolutely delicious, the chips were the best I’ve tasted! Fantastic view and great service from our server Gaynor. Will definitely be returning many times in the future as lucky enough to live 3 miles away.

Incredible food with an incredible view

Really nice pub with friendly bar staff and a nice view of the eddystone lighthouse on the horizon. Hours need updating, I believe they're open Monday and Tuesday. Not sure the exact times but I popped in on a walk last Monday evening and they were open

Fabulous views out to sea. Great food, service and atmosphere. Loved it!

Banging food with a banging view and lovely staff.

Absolutely awesome with my lovely lady Lynny ❤️ We will be back

Delicious food. Friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful view!

We had a table for four by the window on a lovely sunny day. It was very busy outside. The views from the pub are spectacular. The menu has recently changed and does not disappoint, all four meals were lovely and nicely presented. The chowder was really good. Staff also very friendly. Will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Thank you Eddystone 👍😊

My first visit to the Eddystone Inn. Went for lunch. We sat outside overlooking Heybrook Bay, beautiful view during excellent weather. The staff were quick, efficient and very friendly. The drinks were reasonably priced and a good selection of beers were on offer. The food was excellent. I had battered Hake and chips with peas. The fish was so fresh, I would imagine it was caught that morning. Would highly recommend this pub.

New menu is great. I highly recommend the Sweet Potato, coconut and satay curry! Epic views of the sea, in the sun, with a nice cold local beer. Perfect

Beautiful day at a beautiful pub. We were outside in the top veranda with a fabulous view. Delicious panani and amazing chips !!!!!!

Great view, great food, just what you want on nice summer's day.

The wait for the food was far too long. It was a little frustrating to say the least. We had to queue to place a drinks order, as it wasn't busy it just seemed odd. When the food eventually came it was OK, we only...

Went for a Sunday bar snack. Told no food until 3. Working in hospitality I appreciate the chefs needed a breather. Asked at the bar if 3pm was a definite and it wouldn't be put back further. They confirmed 3pm so waited an hour only to be told at 3pm that it had been put back to 3.30! Needless to say we left.

Nice views over the sound... However the service was poor.. Long wait for a meal even though it wasn't over busy. The food came but was not as described, my husbands meal lacked a salad and the vegan burger was just a pappy mush deepfryed and called a burger.. My ciabatta was plain and lacked taste.. Crisps were stale and overall overpriced rubbish and had to sit at a sticky table... Could be so much better

Wonderful place with great staff

Lovely pub, amazing views. Staff amazing.

Lovely pub. Friendly with good food. Large terrace overlooking sea.

The Eddystone is in a lovely location overlooking the Plymouth Sound. Very friendly . My order was cooked from scratch locally caught fish pie and was delicious . I want to highly recommend

Had sea food platter excellent well worth the wait, very busy good food and beer friendly service. Lovely views

Unbelievable. Brilliant food and friendly service. A real hidden gem.

Staying at an Airbnb just down the road so popped in twice and had fantastic food on both occasions. Sat outside and enjoyed the lovely views and April sunshine for our first early evening visit. Had fish pie which was absolutely delicious. Then popped back in for lunch the next day. Thought the lunch menu seemed a bit disappointing but was very happily surprised as these were not your standard baguettes - they were absolutely delicious and served with a lovely side salad, slaw and tortilla chips. Definitely didn't need the extra chips we ordered!! Would definitely go back and highly recommend in if you are walking past!

A real gem of a place as is Heybrook Bay.The Views are stunning. Absolutely delicious food ..the fish pie was devine. Came back the next day for lunch and had baguettes again delicious. Friendly staff and welcoming to dog's.

Really lovely anniversary lunch here today. Friendly, helpful staff and a great atmosphere and the fish pie is heavenly. We discovered on the way home that we hadn't left a tip as we both thought the other had done it, we will make up for...

We went for a walk from Wembury beach and stumbled across the pub after realising we needed a pit stop at lunchtime. We were so pleased we stopped. The staff we so warm and welcoming, the food came quickly and portions were a good size...

Fabulous Sunday roast today with lots of delicious sides - Yorkshire pud, cauliflower cheese and perfectly cooked vegetables (ie. not overcooked!). We also ordered fish and chips, this was also very good, the fish was really fresh and the chips some of the best we’ve had in ages. The service was excellent, really friendly, efficient staff with a welcoming attitude. And they didn’t seem to mind our muddy boots!

Great food, dog friendly Inn. Fantastic views.
