I'm not sure if vaping is still allowed inside here as none was evident on this last visit, but it was disappointing and smelly the time before we were here. Hopefully, it's banned now. Th Sunday roast beef and pork lunches were very good, tasty. Plenty of meat, nice range of vegetables. Recommended. Good real ale offerings. Very friendly, very good service. 👍

Popped in for dinner was seen to a table straight away the light was fluttering bad with electrical fault lad said he would come back tosort it never did. Services bar OK but only 1 member of staff on Saturday night Toilets were vile at 6pm All clean cutlery was just brought out half of it was filthy All tables and floor were filthy and the decor is so run down and think the over 20 years old needs total clean up Wouldn't recommend unfortunately

Came here for some beers after an afternoon out and about. Ended up eating too, and it was great! Only one thing that was a letdown was one of the servers. Quite rude to us and another group but everyone else was so friendly.

Two meals ordered, first was the beach burger - the chicken in the burger was tough and overcooked, one slice of bacon was brown in colour, second was the scallops and prawns for £11-the 2 prawns were ok but small but the tiny scallops were tough amd slightly undercooked And thirdly the Belly bites-the meat was chewy, the cracking was also chewy and didn't melt in the mouth how I was expecting it to.

The food is okay, cooked nicely and well. but simple dishes that most could cook at home no surprise here. The menu is average. We did only eat in the pub and I believe there’s a restaurant section that could offer a different menu. Clean and tidy with nice service. I would not return as the menu and atmosphere is quite boring and bland.

We were there Monday of August bank holiday and it was gorgeous. They’re right on the quay so the vibe feels great. We managed to get a table outside as the sun went down. Staff are lovely, pub very well maintained and beer great. The food menu looked great - local and fresh fish adopted. We’re tempted to return this evening for dinner.

Menu was good and staff friendly. Efficient service. The food was good, although the prawn and scallop started for £9.95 consisted of 2 prawns and 3 scallops which was expensive. Its obviously a busy pub but unfortunately it didn't really work to also have people eating as it was loud and I had someone standing drinking right behind me very close to my chair the whole time I was eating.

The pub is adjacent to the Marina and is very popular. There is a good range of drinks and real ales. The menu and daily specials menu has many varied options and its difficult to choose one of the fantastic offerings. We opted to share the moules mariniere which was delicious. The pub has plenty of seating inside and outside but can get full quickly during the tourist months.

Lovely family meal I visited on a warm summer Sunday lunchtime and enjoyed some nice food and drinks. I had the gnocchi with axed chicken and chorizo. The portion was huge and everything was cooked well. The sauce was really tasty. I also had pork belly bites as a side but they were very chewy. I'd suggest they should be chopped into pieces after being cooked rather than cooked on small pieces to avoid that. My Dad liked the burger and my Mum loved her salmon. Again, very generous portions. My sister had sea bass and her girlfriend the prawn linguine. We all cleared our plates so that shows how good the food was. The bar had a fantastic array of drinks available, however they were a little overpriced. The service was great from all staff members which added nicely to our experience.

Great pub. Very friendly staff and locals. Fantastic food and a good selection of beers, wine, and cider. Don't be put off as the outside doesn't look great, but the inside and all it has to offer is so worth a visit or two. We had the scallops and prawn starter. Then, the pan-fried salmon with Mediterranean veg and new potatoes and the pan fried seabass from the special board. It's all very tasty and well cooked. We will be back when next in Exmouth.

Can I just thank the staff of The Beach for making us so welcome yesterday. Having got a fairly good soaking in one of our April showers, we popped in here in the hope of a hot drink. Although they were busy preparing for an Easter Monday Lunch Service, we were happily provided delicious hot drinks and advised of where non-reserved seating was available. The Beach having undergone a complete refurbishment recently is a lovely seaside pub, with a comfortable and warm atmosphere, and definitely worth a visit, something we shall certainly be doing, again, in the near future.

Two of us had scallps and prawns, the other halloumi, followed by a stacked burger, fajitas that truly sizzled & the pie of the day - all of which were delicious. My godson gives the pub a big thumbsup and I concur.

Sunday Roast They have reintroduced Sunday roast now that the cold weather is coming. The pub was packed out but the landlady managed to find us a table for 2. We had the veggie option - mushroom wellington - and the roast beef. All the food was piping hot and fresh, the waiting staff were friendly and, although very busy, remained calm and composed under pressure. There is a great selection of real ales and wines. The pub was nice and clean with fresh flowers on the table which was a nice touch. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Nice location and nice atmosphere. Staff ate terrible. I had the audacity to attend the bar and order four drinks last night and the female employee moaned to her colleagues AS I STOOD THERE about the fact she had to serve me!!! It was just under £20 for three regular diet cokes and a strawberry woo woo!!! Guys...try employing people who actually want the job, it's not professional nor pleasant as a customer. Not good.

Had a fantastic meal at “The Holt”. They have some great chefs and a great menu sourced locally where possible. My Mussels came from Fowey and Fillet Steak from Dartmoor, my wife’s fish was Hake and perfectly cooked. The service was friendly and excellent. Definitely a 5 stars from me, great place, service, food and value for money.

This is a funny one and it kind of explains a little to me why reviews can be good and bad. We went to the Farmhouse 2 Weeks ago on the second day of our short break. Two adults and a teenager were well satisfied.Good food good service and seated straight away, the atmosphere was very casual and we left well contented. The following day we searched for places to eat but ended up back at the Farmhouse. We walked in and sat in the same seats as the day before, got the same service and the food came about 10 minutes after ordering it. The food we ordered was three different dishes than the day before. This time though the food was not to our liking, not saying that it was bad it's just in our opinion the first days choice was better. This is not a complaint and I would recommend using this place 100%. When we left we said how funny that was, for us to enjoy the food so much one day but not the next. That is why this is trying to be complimentary, I will not say the food is bad because I know it was good. Maybe my nose was too stuck up in the air and my expectations were too high. Apologies to the Chef and Staff.
