King's Arms in East Devon

Visited with friends for the second time and service, food and staff were great. I thoroughly enjoyed the home made lasagne followed by eton mess. The others all enjoyed their meals as well, good portion size and service was friendly and efficient. Our dog was made very welcome to.

Arrived shortly before last food orders and staff kindly accommodated the request. Ordered the steak pudding with crisp potatoes and steaming veg, which was delicious after a long drive. Ale on tap could do with a wider selection but a pleasant meal in a nice surrounding, would recommend if in the area. Friendly atmosphere inside with mostly locals out for a weekend meal.

Went for first time with friends who are locals and had booked us in. Very friendly staff and good range of beers. Food was very good and some home made specials. Friend had fish cakes from specials menu and was pleased and I had home made biscoff cheesecake which was yummy and probably one of the nicest I’ve ever had. Would definately go again when in the area.

Went here for steak night on a Friday. Absolutely brilliant. Steak cooked to perfection and well juicy. The bar is cosy with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely be back when I next visit seaton

Found out food is only available Thursday to Sunday pub is closed Mon Tues and normally has to be booked in advance , which seems to be the norm in Seaton very difficult to get a pub meal .there are pubs open serving food in the area but if you don't book you could wait over an hour for service .the kings Arms is clean ,friendly staff , and appears to be a local pub frequented by regulars at the bar.

Called in there tonight dog friendly very welcoming we had the fish mornay of the specials board would definitely recommend

Sunday lunch with my wife. Nice traditional Sunday lunch, well cooked, well presented. Choice of 3 meats on the day we went, and several vegetables served separately. Good choice of desserts both hot, and cold. Really good value for money, well worth a visit, booking recommended

Poor customer service .Very disappointed with Kevin who appeared to be in charge but was in fact very rude and abrupt with us before we had even ordered our food .Two of us ordered the £12 Lasagne but I can honestly say it was no better than Morrison’s own brand .When we complained Kevin called us “mate” which to me is very unprofessional in my opinion . The chips were overcooked (fried several times !) as you can see in the photo . Portion size was not worth £12 but we were told we had the last 2 portions so I’m assuming that we had to share the last bit . 2 of the family members had the steak deal and enjoyed it ( apart from the well done chips !) .. Had Kevin been abit more professional our experience would’ve been more enjoyable ! I do think he needs to learn some manners and customer liaison etiquette !

Called in for lunch on our Devon break, and definitely were impressed, great welcome and both our meals were fantastic, Probably the best fish we have had for a long time, Definitely deserves a good review.

This was our second visit in a month and much like the first, it was a treat of great tasty pub grub served by friendly people. My sirloin steak,cooked medium rare, was bob on. My wife, as far as I’m concerned, makes the best lasagne in the world. She said the one she had here was better. My boy had a burger and raved about it. Nice pint too! This will become our go to Friday night place.

I have just left the pub after having lunch this was on Saturday 04 Sept despite the changes the cellar has not changed beer is still very good and the food is still excellent and good value for money I would recommend this pub I have been using it since 2003despite

Visited here a few times for drinks while on holiday and once for food. Nice local pub with huge beer garden (lovely little alpacas down the bottom) was very clean and welcoming. Food was delicious and friendly service throughout.

Walked to this pub after reading reviews on trip advisor. I wouldn’t bother! Ordering a drink almost too much trouble, forget trying to get food. Covid means they only serve on a weekend, but guess what, it’s booked for weeks. Bar man almost happy he couldn’t accommodate us during our stay. Certainly not trying to recover their business after covid. Unfriendly and unwelcoming.

KINGS ARMS Great food felt very welcome burger A1 Sunday dinner great service very good Wil visit again

There were 8 of us and all had a wonderful meal. The best steak you can get anywhere. It was a great evening thank you all and stay safe cheers

Friendly local pub, landlord remembered which drinks we had after only a couple of visits, lovely big garden.

Superb, traditional Sunday lunch. Generous portions, packed full of flavour. Each meat comes with its own dedicated gravy. Perfectly cooked veg, (4 different types), served in a separate dish. Relaxing, traditional bar area. Restaurant and large, pretty garden with lovely views over the river, also available. Friendly, homely service. Just how Sunday’s used to be - perfect!

This is not my first time to The Kings Arms, so when I was as to arrange our Christmas party this year, I instantly thought of the Kings! And as usual they didn’t let me down!! Besides my husband and myself no else had been there! They catered for a party of 10, the food came out all at the same time and everyone said it was cooked to perfection! The staff are always friendly and helpful, the service is 100% and the price is excellent. Everyone said they would return again and recommend, as will I always! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening!

This is one of your basic pubs we did not try any food so can’t comment as it would not be fair but there was a standard menu on the tables and a special board which advertised home made food only stayed for one drink probably won’t be returning

Our first visit proved well worth it. We found the staff friendly and helpful.The menu offered was fairly comprehensive and although we had a short wait for our food it was obviously freshly cooked and very tasty.Sadly we could not manage a dessert as the main course was very filling.It was not very busy but the people who were there created a pleasant atmosphere.

Brilliant family bar , great home cooked food , with staff that are friendly and polite 👏👏😊😊!!! Well worth a visit , steak night on a Monday and friday is brilliant 😎

Wonderful welcoming staff, Excellent beer, Llamas in the garden, ( yes, real live Llamas and no, that wasn't after i'd had a drink, they really are there! ) and the food, oh the food! Get there early if you want the homemade Steak and Ale Pie, we missed out on one night and had to return the next, well that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it!

Although it’s not the first visit for my husband and I, it was for our friend and see was totally blown away! Brilliant food/service at very good prices.

Tasty hearty roast dinner. Large lovely portions with delicious puddings. Well done to the pub team. Very pleasant staff

Called in a few days ago looking to have a meal but the chairs were really dirty didn't fancy sitting on them capet was also very dirty everywhere looked as if it needed a lot of TLC decided not to stay and went further into town where we had a lovely meal

If well-cooked, honest (and ‘proper’) pub grub is your thing, then The King’s Arms in Seaton is the place for you. It has a cosy bar, a restaurant area and a wonderful beer garden which overlooks the beautiful Axe Valley. I ate here a number of times over the past month, and took advantage of their Friday Night Steak Deal (a beautifully cooked 8oz sirloin with all the trimmings for £10) and their lovely Sunday roast. All the meals here – including their ever-changing Specials Board – are very keenly priced, served within a reasonable time and were filling and delicious. Although not a fan of live music, Alan West & Steve Black have a regular Monday night slot which is extremely well-attended and also offers up the same steak deal as a Friday night (good enough reason to go in any instance!) All-in-all, The King’s Arms offers great food and drink at reasonable prices, and live music on a Monday - if that’s your thing.Do take note – the kitchen is closed on Thursday and Sunday nights – but as a small, family-run business, I guess the wonderful chef needs some time off from making all those delicious meals!

The pub has a number of nights when it serves up special dishes e.g. steak night on Monday. It's impossible to get a table on such nights without a reservation a week ahead. On other nights its crowded but you can get a table and the food is excellent. Good choice of beer too.

The KA is now under new management and what a difference! The upstairs restaurant is for fine dining and it really is although obviously not Michelin 5*. Christine excels at seriously good fish dishes- lobster, lemon sole, crab etc. Wonderful!

We booked a table for four in the fish restaurant upstairs in the Kings arms. The view from upstairs in the evening was delightful

Lovely steak, great atmosphere and great value for money. Puddings were great and reasonably priced.

OMG THE BEST STEAK I HAVE EVER HAD!

We visited at lunchtime on Saturday 08/09. We found it to be a lovely, friendly quaint pub. It is a very small pub but lovely and oldie worldie. Our drinks were fine and I ordered Scampi from the Menu and my Partner ordered from the specials board and had Lambs Liver and Bacon. The food was nicely presented, piping hot and tasty. We had a nice chat with the gentleman and everyone there was friendly. Most enjoyable. Thank you !!

You can’t beat this place. Choice of bar or restaurant, both normally fully booked, serving a choice of 3 meats each with dedicated gravy. The best roast potatoes you’re likely to taste and 4 different veg. Proper pub atmosphere, with proper regulars and great service.

Our family thought of popping into The Kings Arms one evening time for a special meal, going past at lunch time my partner popped in double check opening times and was told 18:30pm. We came back that evening for that time and upon ordering our order I was bluntly told that they don't serve food to 18:45pm (note was happy for an early order.) and just as the man about order the Ploughman's another employee said to him that they don't serve it, even though I politely showed them copy of there menu as from there web page I was rudely ignored add to this Jacket potato only for Lunch time.. After drinks we left and had to find a Fish and Chip shop by which point was very late in the evening and little one's was very tired and hungry. From looking at the web site noted two slightly different web sites and the menu is not broken down into Lunch and Evening Meals, advertising for something they don't sell is false advertisement! For kid's play ground a very old broken tatty tree slide thingy bob, and a broken swing to seat, guess must be invisible. Great views though from the rough beer garden.

I love this little pub. The owners and staff are so very friendly. .beautiful views and pretty garden. If you love steak you need to try.. wow it's the only place I eat all of their steak. No fat . Just yummmm.

We visited following recommendations on trip advisor. This is a friendly, cosy pub. The food was excellent and the owner and staff very welcoming. Good value for money with a good menu and drink choice. Would recommend to all.

The buffet was set out in the restaurant at the rear of the pub overlooking the garden and beautiful view down to the river. The food was excellent. There was a lovely selection of hot and cold food which looked and tasted great. We were able to meet with friends and family in a relaxed atmosphere and the staff were attentive yet unobtrusive and they made no attempt to hurry us at the end. The whole thing was excellent value.

We'd been told Monday nights were "Country & Western", but it wasn't on.

We had originally booked for Sunday lunch for the whole family but the owners had suffered a bereavement so had to cancel. To their credit, they did find time to ring and let us know in good time. We went during the following week as just a couple. The food was good but nothing outstanding and there was a friendly welcome. Typical pub standard

Nowhere does Sunday lunch better! Always a choice of 3 meats (usually chicken, lamb or beef) and plenty of fresh vegetables and potatoes. Separate matched gravy for each meat. Friendly service and traditional pub atmosphere. No fruit machines or jukebox.

The Kings Arms is a great pub that serves excellent food and beer my 10oz sirloin was delicious as was the starter crab cakes and apple pie to finish. All in all a very enjoyable meal with friendly service. Will definitely be returning.

If you want a good pint and a meal then this is the pub for you.The host keeps a very good cellar the food is excellent.If you like a good steak then have one here the price is very good for the food if you want a meal on a monday/friday in the evening the it is best to book as it gets full also do the same for sunday lunch as it gets full.I always visit this pud when in seaton i have used this pub before i would recomend this pub to visit

Vivimos localmente y no había estado en el pub durante un rato. Decidimos tener una cena para una familia ya que era una noche agradable y el pub tiene un jardín con unas vistas preciosas de la ría. Tuvimos mucha dificultad en el dar, ya que la mayoría de las puertas traseras que están normalmente abiertos estaban cerradas con llave. Cuando pregunté a un miembro del personal la forma en que respondió como si fuéramos idiotas, cuando llegamos al bar el propietario dijo que no estaban haciendo comida esta noche y que había un aviso diciendo que en algún lugar. No hay disculpa, me dieron la impresión de los clientes eran una interrupción a su noche y charlar con unos clientes habituales.

Sunday lunches in the Kings just get better and better. Fabulous home cooked roasts in a proper pub. Great value and worth waiting for the weekly meat raffle at c. 2pm too. Book to ensure a table, but you can usually squeeze into the bar....

Defiantly the best place to go if you like your steak cooked perfectly and at a very reasonable price...seasoned and rare just as we had asked. I have not had a better sirloin in east Devon.... Very friendly atmosphere and very good service....take my word...

Angie cooks a beautiful succulent tasty steak, with all the trimmings, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, onion rings, chips, peas and a salad garnish. Lovely.

Este es un pub, en un ambiente muy agradable y acogedor, con una pequeña zona de juegos para los niños, la comida es fantástica y siempre nos visita este pub cuando estamos de vacaciones

I have been using this pub when ever I come to Seaton for my holidays.I all ways stop at my mates the food is excellent freshly good well presented and lots of it.The landlord also keeps a very good cellar and a good choice of ales.I would recommend this pub

Decidimos ir a comer y escuchar la música en vivo el lunes por la noche, tuve el pollo cajún, servido con patatas fritas y guisantes. Mi amigo tenía el huevo, salchichas y patatas fritas, las comidas eran excelentes. Lo disfrutamos de la música. Gran noche. Sin duda volveremos.

Dined with friends having been tempted by the £10 Monday steak night. Unfortunately had not appreciated that there a loud live band was also part of the offer and left early with ears ringing to get away from noise. Whilst there is a quiet dining room at the rear, it lacks atmosphere being more cafe style than pub.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Choice of beef, pork or turkey. We both had the beef. Large, home cooked portions with all the trimmings and plentiful veg and extra gravy served separately for £8.95.Pub very busy, so glad we'd booked. Drinks well priced. Service friendly and efficient. Choice of bar, restaurant or garden (which is beautiful and what a view).If only all pubs would ditch the freezers and the fruit machines and do things this way.Live music on Monday nights and some Saturday's.

Good food, plentiful portions, and reasonable prices. If you find yourself in Seaton it is well worth a visit for an evening meal.

Great home cooked food, served all day, local beers also, staff friendly and helpful, beer garden great for summer evenings overlooks the Axe valley.

Visited the kings on hearing wot great food and hospitality were to be had and I wasn't disappointed the landlord pointed me in the direction of some great beers which I must say the branoc the best iv tasted

As this place has good Trip Advisor reviews, we decided to go on our first night of a break instead of self-catering.Very disappointed.The food was poor.. we both had a burger (leathery) on an ersatz bun with an unmelted bit of plastic cheese on top. The chips were soft.We were asked to sit about 10 feet from a wall mounted TV (don't know why, other seats were available so maybe they were booked) and an international football match was showing. Now I hate football being a rugby man myself but .. needs must. So that was on full blast with sound in my right ear (with one patron watching it) and in my left ear a radio station was doing its bit to add to the cacophony of sound we had to endure. Table was ... dirty to be honest and seats were uncomfortable.Beer .. a local brew but more like ale than beer.. perhaps the local brewery should review the type and quantity of hops they use.The one glimmer of hope was the service.. smashing lady who was very attentive.

I use this pub when ever I am in Seaton as it is a well run pub good cellar staff cheerful and helpful food is good plenty of it.They also do good sweets to follow your main course if they have any lumpy bumby cake have some all chocolate sauce as well.I came to a steak night and had an 8oz sirloin with all the trimming's EXCELLENT.But the steaks any time are mouth watering as is the rest of the grub.I have been using this pub since 2003 have tried others in the area they don't match up to this pubI would recommend this pub to any one down on holiday or just visiting

Saturday evening 5th December, having just finished a delicious meal in Monsoon Indian restaurant, reviewed separately, we went in search of a pub for a drink or two and found this one.Might not be a very big pub but we got a big welcome as strangers in there for the first time. There is a restaurant area out the back of the pub. It is away from the sea front so a locals pub.Our 2 drinks were £ 6.10, will certainly be back here and will also try the food. Bar staff were very friendly and welcoming.We enjoyed our evening in this good old fashioned pub.

Good price for the tastiest and most tender steak we could have asked for. Good beer and pleasant welcome.

Chose as dog friendly but the fresh cod was a real let down. The thinnest fillet I've ever had - advertised as 'fresh'. Chips and peas obviously from frozen.

We eat out quite a lot and cannot find anywhere else better. You are not going to get 'courdon bleu' but what you will get is a good meal well cooked and plenty of it. Sunday dinner is great and it is so nice to have someone else wash it up. The staff are lovely too. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good old fashioned English meal.

We go regularly for a steak on Friday night. It is absolutely the best. Cooked to perfection and such good value.

Visited today (Thursday) for the first time for lunch. It was very quiet but the staff were friendly and helpful. The menu is somewhat limited but we really enjoyed the home-made lasagne and the lamb suet pudding. They took a while to arrive but when served, they were fresh, hot and were very good sized portions. Good local beers and all very reasonably priced. Will definitely return.

Great food, would def recommend..had the Thai Fishcakes, most yummy...And the Yorkshire puddings were huge!!

A group of us meet there every two weeks during the winter months and enjoy good food well presented, served with a smile.Their range of drinks is wide and, again, served with a smile.

This was my first visit to the Kings Arms and I will definitely be returning! The food is very nice and more than ample portions, all homemade!! The service let down the whole experience however as the young staff didn't have a clue as to what to do, we waited 30 mins to order drinks and after ordering wine we then had to ask for glasses! I think this was just due to inexperience so I shall not be put off by this as the staff were very pleasant!

I use this pub when i am down i seaton.Yet again the food is very good always eat here,You get ample helpings it is served hot and all the food is localy produced.Prices are reasonable good choice of menu staff very freindly you are always greated wit acheerfull smile,The Landlord keeps a good cellar i would recomend this pub/resturant to any one who visits seaton

Had a lovely night, meeting new friends,eating good food at a very reasonable price. Even better a brilliant duo playing guitars and singing. A brilliant Monday evening.

Crowded but food was good, fast service and friendly staff. Not too expensive. Very large helpings. On main road near guest house

Been many times and never been disappointed. Usually a choice of 3 roasts all cooked to perfection. Always a good selection of veg, more than enough roasties which are also cooked very well.Great value and good view of the Axe valley as well.

Stopped here for a bite to eat.Welcoming staff who were nearly fully booked but very accommodating. We had 2 lovely steak dinners,very good value and we ate them over -looking gorgeous views in the garden ( and watching the lamas!).Even stayed for pudding!

Ate here on Thursday 28 May 2015 in a group of 3 adults and 3 children. Young lady in the bar was very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the garden so the children could play until they came and told us they were plating up our meals. All the meals were nicely presented and the food was good. I had home made pie and I'm pleased to say it was actually home made. Not something finished off with pastry on top! The children had chicken nuggets and fish fingers. The other adults had steak and local sausages. All the plates were empty which speaks for itself.

Four of us went to eat ordered a chilli asked if it came with rice she said yes as it was on the menu with cheese and nachos so I ordered the chilli and rice my brother ordered a gammon with an extra egg got moaned at as I was told it would upset the chef when food came I had to return my chilli as it came with nachos and not rice waited for about ten minutes finally got mine but everyone else had eaten never mind it was good. Decided to order puddings ordered two lemon and lime cheesecakes one white chocolate and cherry lumpy bumpy and a white chocolate and raspberry roulade well out came three roulades not what we asked for, nobody seemed to know what they had the waitress said she didnt know what lumpy bumpy looked like neither did she know what cheesecake looked like after complaining they said they didnt have cheesecake so why was it still on pudding board got our money back and left not a happy experience. Will not return.

Lovely Friday night special, steak with all the trimmings. Lovely friendly pub with good food.Quite a large menu. You can eat in the bar or restaurant.

Had a sunday roast and must say it was fantastic. 3choices of meat and it is def value for money can not fault this place.

The food was fantastic, aswell as the staff who were great and friendly, we all loved our meal there it was great! Would definitely recommend!One note thought the trip advisor phone number is wrong, the actual number is 01297 23431.

This is a local pub in the traditional sense, bar food lovely, nice restaurant never had a bad meal. Usually, a few locals at the bar to chat with, landlord, landlady and staff always very pleasant with no OTT restaurant attitude so very friendly. In winter it does the usual pub games including a boules piste. The beer garden is exceptional in every sense huge with play areas for kids some animals and wonderful view over the Axe valley, on balance this is a great Britsh pub which used to be like hundreds in the West Country many have disappeared but I think and hope this one never changes or closes

on our 2nd visit we could not fault the food, except that they had sold out of their famous steak pie!! My wife had the Lasagne which is always good and I opted for a 10oz sirloin steak which was certainly more tender and juicy than another steak house in Seaton. Music as always very entertaining. We will be returning.

As we were staying in Seaton for a few days, went on Trip advisor to find out were to eat, glad we did. The Kings Arms in Seaton is a find, the lasagne was lush, sat out in the garden admiring the pubs darling alpacas, were so impressed went there again, had the steak pie, could not fault it. Take my advise, if you are in Seaton, and looking for great food, go there!

I often stay at the nearby Caravan park, so use this pub/restaurant quite a lot in the evening as its not far from the site. The local beer is always well kept, and the food is excellent. Its not the cheapest place to eat, but is still good value, as the quality and portion sizes are very good. The owner and family are friendly, and the restaurant staff seem efficient enough. When on holiday I try to visit on the night that live music is on as it is an excellent evening.

We visit the area once a year generally and make a point of visiting the kings arms for a meal. This year was no disappointment as the food is very good, at a good price.If you like red meat, be sure to order steak and ale pie or a lasagne as both have chunks of lovely tender steak in them.Will visit again next year

After doing a lap of Seaton last night, both my husband and myself were staggered as to how quiet all the other pubs seemed particularly as we're slap bang in peak season. In the end we decided to try The King's Arms - which is just a few minutes from the seafront - and were not disappointed. The pub had excellent entertainment and was full of customers enjoying the music. Although we did not eat ourselves, many of the customers did and can only surmise by all the empty plates going back into the kitchen that the food was very good. The atmosphere in there was cracking and hand-in-hand with drinks at a sensible price and an attentive Landlord and bar maid - it all made for a great evening. If you haven't tried The King's Arms yet - do. It also boasts a belter of a beer garden that overlooks the beautiful Axe Valley. Excellent.

If a landlord complains about 22 customers who followed his instructions to view the menu he had handed to us and write down and place our order before 6pm and complain to his local's about us placing the orders........and the kitchen not being able to cope, I think the landlord needs to take on more staff.Will never visit this pub again.

The Kings Arm's is a great traditional pub that serves excellent food & beer at very reasonable prices. The landlord Kevin is a superb host.Highly Recommend

Recommended by our B&B and we were not disappointed, best pub Lasagna ever with hand cut chips to die for. Country music got the whole pub foot tapping - some of us 'oldies' felt at home!!!!!!!!We will return again soon.Good beers not bad wine either, all very reasonably priced.

I have just come down here on my holidays again.and have enjoyed my meals in this pub,The portions are very good the food is hot when it comes to your table the price is very good for the quailty of the food,The food is all local and cooked fresh as you need it the staff are very friendly and helpfull.Also the landlord keeps a very good cellar of beers and largers also he has a good mix of local brews.I would recomend this pub to anybody that wants a good pint and meal to go with

good food.good service.also at short notice for 9 people wasn't a problem.Fantastic beer garden with amazing views

Nice food. Service was a bit slow in the restaurant but ok when we sat in the pub. They have a lovely garden to sit out in the summer.

The 3 of us were attending a local event in the town over the Easter weekend and decided to try out this pub. It was not a mistake. Very friendly staff and locals made us very welcome. A good local beer which was very well kept and great food. We all went for their steaks which are sourced locally and which melted in the mouth!We liked it so much that on both days we went in early afternoon and again after the event we were attending finished in the evening. Added bonus of good live music by Adam Sweet on the Sunday evening.Large restaurant to the back and a beer garden with a wonderful view.A good little pub and we will be going back.

Staff are friendly and welcoming.Food was reasonable considering the applicable function attended.Pleasant setting with outside facilities overlooking good views.Worth a try.
