Mariners Arms in North Devon

Walked in on a Monday night around 9pm. The barman was so welcoming, put the outside lights in the garden especially for us. Thank you for your warm welcome 🙏. This place looks nothing from the outside but don't let that put you off, jem of a little pub x

Great pub! Lovely large sunny garden, dog friendly. Lovely locals, good service and pricing our favourite pub in Braunton

Went in to try some new ales had 2 fantastic ales Lee behind the bar extremely helpful. Nice pub brilliant beer garden a hidden gem highly recommend

Hired the function room for a 70th birthday. Lee and the team were fantastic! They looked after us really well, really helpful and couldn't do enough. Our family have lived in the village for generations and Lee thoughtfully placed info from the museum about old family members in the room. Amazing little touches. Prices were great, atmosphere was amazing. Everyone felt so welcomed, both local and visitors. Fabulous with the kids. Would highly recommend. We've held countless parties and wakes in the Mariners over the years and we are lucky to have such a great venue on our doorstep. Thank you all. X.

What a cracking hidden gem. Super garden. Great prices (Guinness under a fiver). And you can bring in your own takeaway. Will be back

Lovely little pub to stumble across before dinner. Gentleman behind the bar must be ex-forces, but couldn’t be more polite. Perhaps the most politest barman I’ve ever come across. Had a pint of Eric, local brew from Clearwater. Excellent. Enemy has a wine and she seemed happy, if nothing else, I wasn’t getting nagged. In fact we came back to see the night out. Good local history, dotted all around the pub. Very much splendid local feel to the vibe.

Great pub. Lee was really friendly and even remembered us from 2years ago. Great pub, great pint. Can highly recommend.

What a fantastic pub, was greeted and served in great time from the barman Lee who was super polite, cheerful and helpful, great service seeing as it was very busy and Lee still made time to chat whilst serving. There was plenty of choices of ales from locally brewed to the more commercial drinks. A pool table area is to left when entering the main door but the main bar offered ample of seating and tables with a darts playing area to the rear. The hidden gem, apart from the staff was the large beer garden at the rear of the premises, a great area for kids to run around and the pub is dog friendly aswell. All was well kept clean and tidy giving a good impression for the customer experience. Overall, the experience was fantastic, we stayed all evening drinking and chatting to the locals, the only down side was no food on offer, but again we were allowed to order a take away so not all was lost. Fantastic place, will most definitely visit again. 5 star rating.

Very welcoming pub and great beer garden. Pool table, dart board , sky sports and a fantastic pint; all you could need. The bar man lee made us feel right at home.

Brilliant pub with easily the best kept pint in Braunton! We were made to feel very welcome by the regulars and especially the Bar Manager who is friendly, professional and polite (hope you have a great honeymoon in France). The pub has a great selection of drinks within a friendly atmosphere. We will return! Scott, Jo and girls

Excellent local pub with a really good atmosphere. Was welcomed upon arriving by the landlord and made to feel really valued as a customer. I can't speak too highly about this place. Engaged in several conversations with the locals and probably best of all was the quality of the real ale. Top notch local bitter on handpump. I only went in for one pint and stayed for three! I shall definitely return to this fabulous pub.

Great pub friendly and great bar staff very helpful and willing to wait till all friends arrived to make sure all good

Popped into this recommended pub as a ‘truly local pub’ and it did not disappoint. Lee as the bar manager was so welcoming, giving us great tips about where to eat, good taxi services, good walking paths to follow - super friendly and welcoming. It’s rare to find a real pub where you can walk into a different small place pub and not feel stared at! Believe me - that’s rare and it was so lovely! Thank you Lee - we had a lovely meal in the village but it was topped off by a local pub chat and welcome! More priceless than people realise …

Lee who runs the pub made me and my other half. So welcome to the pub .friendly and helpful. Also good beers thanks rob we will be back.

Well what a find this is, friendly, reasonable prices and a really friendly team led by lee, we where a fair mixture, four irish( one dressed as an indian) different story lol, we felt warmly welcomed on arrival and not just by the roaring log fire, dog friendly too which is always a bonus, will definatly return to this rare Locals pub of which there are never enough left Well done Lee for keeping it going

As a tourist to the area our only aim was to watch the football at a local pub, we fully expected your standard ‘old man’s’ pub with sticky floor but how wrong could we be 😁. Lee was exceptional, extremely polite & very helpful, spoke to & had a joke with the kids (possibly being a Liverpool fan helped 🤣) let us bring our own food, the cider recommendation was superb I really enjoyed it, the atmosphere was really welcoming the pool table great entertainment & generally a relaxing & lovely environment, many many thanks we will certainly be back.

Lee was amazing and so was the other lady, didn’t catch her name but also amazing service! Felt really welcome by the staff and customers, our dog was also treated like a king.. want a real proper pub? Think no more here is the place!

This is one of the best pubs I have ever been too! Not only great staff but the bar manager lee is the most welcoming and polite host I’ve ever met!! Cheap drinks good music awesome pool table, honestly could not fault this place one bit! Recommend anyone here to visit this place

Proper back-street local`s pub, but, fear not, you`ll be made to feel welcome. Lee went out of his way to look after us. He even remembered our drinks the following night! My daughter visited separately , but left her handbag , but he made sure it was safe until she returned to collect it the following lunchtime. Needless to say, we all visited that night to thank him and buy him a drink. Good service, atmosphere, drink and decent prices. Why would you go anywhere else?

We just visited this pub, wanted to watch the football and eat. Lee the bar manager welcomed us, could not have been friendlier. I asked if we could sit with the dog and watch the football, he said of course you can, turned on the TV on the right side of the bar. We had our own little spot. When I asked about food, he said the kitchen had closed, but we were welcome to bring food in. We walked to the chip shop, (3 mins away) fish chips and mushy peas, Lee the boss man took our wrappers away. We genuinely could not have been more warmly welcomed. Lee is a star, if you are looking for a lovely little place to visit while staying here, pop in, and pray that Lee is working tonight!

We came by to watch the West Ham Europa League semi-final whilst in Croyde on our holiday. The manager Lee was very welcoming from the start. Sometimes it can be daunting going into a 'local' when you're not from around the area, but this was...

Very friendly and welcoming. Good beer garden and well priced drinks. Staff were also very accommodating when asking for sports to be shown.

Great evenings entertainment courtesy of Lee at the Mariners. 8 golfers looking to watch the Ryder Cup and they couldn't have been any more accommodating. There were plenty of screens with the footy aswell. Proper sporty venue with plenty of room and darts /pool. Great...

Great pub to watch sport in. Friendly atmosphere, great staff. Felt welcome straight away. Our favourite pub in Braunton.

Good old fashioned back street pub friendly service and made us very welcome. They are not doing food at the moment but allowed us to bring in takeaway while we watched the match. We will definitely come back for friendly welcome. Many places in the...

Pub landlord was a G, locals were friendly & pool table was decent. Was a rainy couple days staying in Braunton & this pub certainly provided us a haven to relax. The pub has a walled garden with picnic tables & a sheltered area too....

Spent a week on holiday in Braunton, and we visited here every day. A big thanks to the staff for making us so welcome, we will definitely be back. Excellent, beer garden and friendly regulars make this a very enjoyable place.

Came here as it was the only place nearby with sky sports. Lee was great and very attentive (table service because of covid). Were made to feel very welcome and had a great night. Cheers from Marcus, Ben, Ollie & Harry.

Friendly welcoming pub great for a drink, reasonably priced. Pool table if this is what you would like also have sky sports. Good selection of beers too.

A typical what I would call an old fashioned pub which was friendly a with good atmosphere. Good choice of beers, ciders etc.. Dog friendly. Outside area which was secure so suitable for dogs

Went here with my niece - if she hadn’t told us about it wouldn’t have know it was there. Lovely and friendly atmosphere. Beer garden very nice. A must to go to when in Braunton. Would recommend some signage though as didn’t know the pub...

Dank, dark pub. Barely anywhere to sit Locals unfriendly. Sandbags by the door to stop flooding. Guess that happens a lot?

Have used this pub many times when walking past and nice family run pub. Staff are always friendly and quick to get served for your drinks.

Upon visiting here midweek it apparant that the staff don't want to be there, no manners, interaction or ability to encourage custom during this most difficult time for the classic English pub.

Loved it here everytime i visit i always receive a warm welcome its like home from home. And the food os good to which is a added bonus as is the live bands. Love it. Rachel Brewster

This family friendly traditional pub catered my family of eight. Really friendly and attentive staff. Didn't have to wait long for service after placing order. Roast beef and lamb lunches all round were great, served hot with ample meat, roast potatoes, hot gravy and lots of varied vegetables. Further more, really excellent value for money. Also recommend the submariner ale! Will definitely return when holidaying in the area again. Many thanks

Holidaying in Braunton, we spent two evenings in this friendly pub. Staff were excellent, efficient and helpful. Drinks were inexpensive at £6.40 for a pint of real ale and a medium size wine! Good choice of real ale. Food was delicious, with generous platefuls of home cooked, comfort food, both evenings with lots of choice. Only criticism was having to listen to the football transfers info from Sky sports on one evening. Apart from that we had two very pleasant evenings.

Beware if you're a little bit on the tall side - the ceilings are very low. The pub has a great history. Decent pub garden.

Wanted somewhere to sit and enjoy a drink whilst watching the football and this place was ideal. Plus a roaring open fireplace, excellent! Like the old world charm of the place and friendly atmosphere. Would recommend.

Buscamos para un pub para conseguir una pinta de Stella Artois y voila, el Mariner's Arms. Nos dieron un tour de esta gran pub que tiene un carril de bolos en la sala de eventos y tiene un jardín enorme. Ambiente limpio y buen servicio.

Whilst staying locally at The Brookfield for a golf trip, we ventured into the Mariners Arms. The local beer was excellent and they also have a lovely beer garden out the back. The service was also good.

Served quickly with good, ample serving of homely food. Friendly staff & good atmosphere. Also dog-friendly.

Was recommended this place by our landlady as has local ales on draught. The interior is quite tired but the beer garden is pretty and great to catch the evening sunshine!

Normalmente no soy un hospedándote en un pub, pero no escuchamos música en vivo tocando desde el jardín de pub como caminamos pasado al volver de compras en el pueblo. Era una tarde de verano encantador, así que llamamos por un "Swift media'. El pub parece pequeño desde el exterior, pero como vas por dentro y a través de los diversos bares, es como un Tardis! La banda (un dúo llamado Dogleg) eran geniales y la sidra y los perritos calientes y hamburguesas de queso que estaban siendo cocinados en el encantador jardín de pub. Nos alojamos durante una hora y juro volver la próxima vez tienen una banda en vivo y el ambiente era memorable. Tienen una gran sala de funciones al lado del jardín, así que si llueve todo el mundo puede ir por dentro no creo. eres una pequeña joya Los Mariners!

Lovely in the sun to sit out with the dog and have a decent drink! Great find. Will definitely be back. Loads of room in the sun filled garden. Not tried the food though.

This is a traditional pub, close to the town centre of Braunton, although you would say it's a drinkers pub, you often get families in during annual holidays, and ladies are always welcome there.They also show Sky football matches, which is always popular

Visited here on an evening of no bands on. Good friendly pub with nice ales. Some Dartmoor and Doom Bar which went down a storm. Have visited when in the area a few times. Nice place for a beer

Its always a huge relief to find a pub thats really a pub, not an aspiring restaurant, just a proper pub full of friendly locals - a warm place humming with life with a really virtuous pint of Doom Bar that can only have tasted sweeter for the 4 hour drive that lead to it.All hail the mariners. A quality pint in a really special part of Devon.

It was the Easter weekend and most places were full or closed. Just down from our B&B was The Mariner. The host was very hospitable to the point they asked a young couple if they could move to a smaller table so the four of us could sit. I consider this a true old fashion English pub with live music and of course a dart board. I had a nice chat with a couple at the bar and we were very comfortable taking in the local atmosphere. The pub fare was enjoyable tasty and more than enough for a hungry appetite.

Proper pub serving very good Sunday roast. Stilton bake very tasty too. Ordered for family of four, very generous veg came separately. Friendly staff. Good sized children's portion.

We were looking for somewhere to eat in Braunton but most places were very busy, then we found this great little pub tucked away in a side street, had a great meal, good big portions which I like and they were very friendly, as where the other patrons. Follow the signs from the Main Street.

Everyone chats to you so you feel extremely welcome from your first visit. Good quality beer and wine for the best price in Braunton that we found. If you like a game of cards, shuffle board, darts or snooker definitely the pub for you; TV on but not intrusive so it's a good, genuine pub to relax in after a days walking. The dog got loads of fuss from everyone. Would recommend to anyone.
