Kings Arms Otterton in East Devon

We booked this lovely country pub for breakfast on Sunday, unfortunately thanks to storm Bert…. There was no power. However, the staff couldn’t have been more lovely offering us a discount at the local farm shop and providing us bits for our onward journey. We look forward to returning on our next trip to Otterton. Thank you to the staff for being so kind :)

Lovely welcome and fabulous food. Pleasant comfortable room and all doggy friendly!

Great find, lovely food and fab service. Highly recommend.

We stay at Ladram Bay at least twice a year and last week after a day out we were returning to Ladram through Otterton and decided to try the kings arms for dinner. Although we obviously hadn't booked we were welcomed with open arms,seated and served to the most delightful food and drink.100% we will pop in next year on our trips to Ladram.Thank you all in the team at King's arms.See you next year

An outstanding county pub! The cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff made for a perfect dining experience. I had the steak pie, and it was incredible—tender, flavorful beef in a rich gravy, wrapped in perfectly crisp pastry. Comfort food at its best! Five stars, highly recommended! Was served my Zoë

Staying at Ladram bay and decided to stop off for our dinner and wasn't disappointed, tha staff were warm and friendly and the meals were superb, freshly cooked and presented well. We will be back

Stayed 2 nights... the breakfast was 👍 The staff were lovely. The service was a little disjointed, but things were missed off the meal ordered. I'd stay again...👍

Walked 3.5 miles to have lunch in this lovely pub in Otterton but unfortunately the food was a Huge disappointment on this occasion. Chips were Luke warm, “large” fish had about 3 mouthfuls of fish inside a horrible batter and was similar to a frozen Birdseye fish from the supermarket. The crab sandwiches had hardly any crab and one of the sandwiches was made from end crusts.! Then seasonal veg was a bowl of cabbage with just a couple of peas thrown in. We decided to eat everything due to the fact it was getting late and we were all starving after our walk. I always believe you should politely give feedback when asked if everything was ok but on this occasion some our party were embarrassed and didn’t want to cause a fuss. So unfortunately it’s just 2 stars this time :-(

Great pub with good beers and ciders, food was well received by all 9 in our party and the rooms were well appointed, clean with great showers.

Really friendly. Excellent for coeliacs. Really good food options 😄. Staff welcoming.

Did not stay at the hotel, just passing through.

A great friendly place to stay. In a lovely location. Accomodation and food first class.

Had a meal with family here today. Lovely food. Big portions. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Great service.

Excellent meal & very friendly, can't wait to go back soon

A great Sunday lunch spoiled only by the inattention of waiting staff.

An outstanding pub, great prices and amazing staff who can't do enough to help. Thanks

Great people and a wonderful pub and place to stay. The shower water fluctuated from warm to scalding hot and the location mark will depend entirely on your reasons for being there. But the rooms were clean and well presented. But for me, it's all about service and the people who work there were wonderful. Not obsequious, 'customer is always right' staff but genuinely nice people who try and make your stay as comfortable as possible. Stay here, I don't think you will be disappointed.

We had a good stay The area is beautiful

Myself, my wife and two lads stopped off here today on our way back to Ladrum Bay. The boys had the buttermilk chicken burgers (which were massive) and myself and the good lady both had the minted lamb pie. The food was easily the best meal we've had in a long time. The service was excellent (as where all the staff) and the food came out piping hot. A definite "must try" for anyone who's passing.

Good food. Came here for lunch on recommendation. Sat outside as the weather was glorious, plenty of tables, all with sun shades and dog friendly, with water bowls readily available. The whole pub is dog friendly, which is a plus for us. Good choice of food on lunchtime menu even though a couple of options were not available. Easy to find, the car park is not huge so parking could be difficult when very busy, the access road is relatively narrow and it’s in the centre of the village so roadside parking not really an option.

Sunday lunch was very good indeed.

On a lovely Devon Sunshine-Sunday, I'm not sure there is a better gourmet pub than the King's Arms at Otterton for great fresh food, served piping hot in a comfortable and well cared for pub/dining/garden. Ample parking, friendly hosts - top mark 👍👌

Never stayed, but food is great! Staff friendly. Was busy but never had to wait long. Would recommend restaurant.

The village is amazing. Your pub it a credit to it. Your table service and food are faultless. Well done all

Lovely place with a big beer garden, food is fabulous 👌

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. Our room was lovely. We stayed in the four poster room. Lovely little place. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The food was lush. Definitely recommend this place

Nice country pub, a bit limited food choices, OK if you want chips with everything.

Amazing place in a beautiful villiage. Friendly staff and a descent beer. Thank you

Came in to try the food for an evening meal to be met by really pleasant customer service in a lovely setting and some great hearty grub with a few interesting additions on the menu too. We had a feast to try a variety of things, some to note would be Panko oysters, Wellington special at the time was exceptional and all of our desserts were spot on, particularly the house made cheesecake. On this list for a nice family meal out again one day! Of note, the kings kimchi was much too acidic however and I love kimchi.

Beat pub food I've had in a long time! Chicken roast and pork roast were truly excellent, as was the delicious chocolate brownie. Friendly service, lovely pub. We'll be back!

We stopped off on our way to Ladram Bay Holiday Park and we are so glad we did. We turned up with no booking and were given a seat with no problems or grief. The pub is obviously a popular local but there was a very welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious and hands down the best 'pub grub' we have ever had. We can 100% recommend the Roast Cauliflower and Scallops starter, the Buttermilk Chicken Burger and Scampi and Chips mains. We would happily drive an hour just to come here for the food, then drive an hour home again. A must visit!!!

Excellent food with excellent service.

Food is second to none. Sunday lunch was perfect! Huge Yorkshire puds 10/10!

Although we hadn't booked, we managed to get a table for Sunday lunch with friends, we all really enjoyed our meals, each of us having something different. Lovely surroundings, comfortable & great service. Would highly recommend.

Miserable bar staff, a thank you, and a smile would be more welcoming

Great beer choice, good food, good staff, clean, dog friendly, good atmosphere, what's not to like! Albeit, it's the only place in Otterton, but, they do step up, loved it! We certainly went in as much as possible in the 4 nights we were there. Deffo be back!!

Nice country pub in Otterton with beautiful walks around. Very dog friendly and really friendly staff. Even beavers around the river if you're lucky enough to see them. Food was average. Good coffee though! We stayed in Room 1, which was above the kitchen. Had multiple issues with noise.. Music and people singing. Not from the pub itself, the kitchen. Had to complain every day we stayed, once we did, the guys behind the bar were very attentive and quick to act on it. But said it was a regular issue!? The room itself is nice enough, and dog friendly. But I wouldn't recommend staying in this room due to the noise. We had even paid extra to stay in this bigger room.

The best fish and chips we've had in ages. Lovely pub, friendly, welcoming and efficient service.

Excellent no problems or complaints
