Mariners Cafe in East Devon

Excellent simple food and charming service. The Lardy Cake was superb. All food beautifully prepared on the premises.

We stopped at the cafe for a coffee and to warm up and decided to have lunch. I had the all day small breakfast which was excellent, the bacon was really tasty and everything was cooked perfectly, not greasy at all. My wife had the Tuna melt panini which she said was the most delicious food she had on holiday in Devon. The service was friendly and quick and everything was spotless.

Car broke down on the Axminster bypass: when fixed I had lost the will to drive another 4 hours so checked into the George Inn. In the middle of an outrageously good Halloween party, the staff were never the less attentive, sympathetic and checked me in quickly. Recently refurbished, the hotel is really and very well furnished and decorated - super comfortable, super clean, super cozy. It’s a little gem, with parking - great value too!

This is the pub we always go to when holidaying in Exmouth. Good food, pleasant staff. Only downside is it can be a bit noisy sometimes.

We visited on a bright November afternoon, walking in, we were greeted by a lady behind the bar wearing a coat! It was cold in the pub and we were shivering by the end of our visit. The pub is light and bright and well decorated. Beer is well kept but over £5.50 a pint, diet coke is £2.50 a can! We did go back to eat on another afternoon, cold again, bar lady in her coat! The food is mediocre to say the least, if you like microwaved food, tinned new potatoes and instant mash you will enjoy it, we ate it because we were hungry but gourmet it ain't! The lamb shank swimming in gravy with peas and instant mash at £18.95 is way over priced. They are missing a trick here, if they served fresh food, they could corner the market with the nearby caravan park. Disappointing.
