The Bullers Arms in Torbay - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Soul Dance night on Sunday. No heating in the entire pub on cold mid-winter evening! Very uncomfortable when seated. Had to dance frequently to bear staying there. Drinks were overpriced, e.g., half pint beer and single vodka & tonic over £9 ! Similar price for 2 tonics and a tiny bag of nuts (which tasted stale and was well beyond Best Before date). Disgraceful for a pub in a tourist hot spot.

Owners very rude and unwelcoming. Shame because the pub is nice but there was no atmosphere at all.

I have never met such a rude unhelpful landlord in my entire life. We ordered at lunchtime and could have had the food for tea by the time it finally came out. We ordered two bubble and squeak with garlic bread and waited Around 2 hours. We asked on a number of occasions how much longer it would be and two couples before us had a refund as fed up of waiting. Two people sent meals back. When I approached the land and asked for a quiet word he was rude and unhelpful telling me he was short staffed and what did I expect him to do? Perhaps being informed that there would be a wait would have helped. DO NOT go here and especially not for food. I am not an unreasonable person and understand things happen but he could have defused the situation much better if he had been understanding instead of angry and blaming and had helped out behind the bar instead of rolling cutlery for food they were not serving! Don’t give this man your custom

Menu needs looking at. Very basic food. No steaks, seafood dishes. Basically, if you want pie and chips, go to the chippy, you'll get more for your money. Refused to pay nearly £10 for a cheese and onion sandwich ( with a side salad). Come on doesnt that make it a cheese SALAD???

Absolutely brilliant. Good food. Good beer and a great atmosphere. Great pub back to its best after the the last owners thankfully left

Popped in here for lunch one day. It was quite a nice space to sit in and we were looking forward to some delicious food. Three of our party did not want the accompanying salad with their meals and one meal was ordered "as it comes" (chicken burger and chips); this seemed to be fine with no issues at point of ordering. However when the meals came out, the chicken burger was missing the onion rings and the burger was a dry bun with a piece of grilled chicken in it. We asked about the onion rings and we were told that as we ordered the meals without garnish then these had been removed. First of all, the chicken burger had not been ordered without garnish (their misunderstanding presumably leading to the burger having no salad in it) and secondly onion rings are not a garnish - they are a side. This was however quickly resolved and the onion rings followed within moments. Unfortunately though due to the dry bun and grilled chicken with no salad or sauce, the burger would have been inedible if it wasn't for the hunger and the onion rings that had now been placed inside the bun as well, along with two sachets of mayo. My husband was also disappointed with his food; crab sandwich (with chips not salad). Being harbour-side and knowing Brixham is a very busy fishing port, hubby expected the sandwich to be made with fresh crab and some nice chunky bread. Instead he got tinned crab in thin white bread instead. This was not what he expected and certainly not for the price they charge for it. We did eat the food as we were hungry and some food is better than none, but we were very disappointed in the quality for the price paid. On top of that the ladies toilets also need sorting out; they are grim with barely functioning locks and toilet seats that try to throw you on the floor because they are not attached properly. Overall, this place could and should do better. Charging a premium price because of location is expected but the quality of the food needs to match the price. Would not recommend.

Awful pub. Rude and aggressive owner snatched menu from a child, for no reason. Then argued and called my partner a six year old for defending him. Other customers said he’s always rude to children, so they don’t take them anymore. Really poor. Pub smelt like a urinal too.

Rude staff member upset my grandson We visited as a family. 11 of us. We visit brixham every year as a family. We have never experienced anything like the rude member of staff who snatched my grandsons children menu and upset him.

After the poor customer service from old market house, went to the Buller arms. Welcomed as we would expect from any place, found a table and ordered our food, which was wholesome and tasty and worth the cost the customer care was what anyone would expect, would return if in Brixham again

Nicely refurbished, we found the food pricey for pub grub and nothing special, chips undercooked. Wine expensive, l buy the same from Tesco for £5 this was 4 times the amount.. Not sure will be going again, shame.

Bar staff very welcoming ! and friendly. However, the man in the corner possible the owner not so ! He barked his orders across the bar then decided he wanted a crab sandwich so went out of his own bar to buy from another business, which was closed he announced loudly………. hello !! You sell food ? Not a good impression to a local ! I Will not be returning. ,!

Very nice pub. Lots of food choice T low prices. Tes and cake. £3 50 DOGS welcomed It's needs and deserves more customers It's local support

As good as ever. Friendly staff and great service. Fish and chips the best ever. Thank you, we will be back next year thank you all so much!

Popped in for a drink. Amazing place. Clean and friendly. Good ale. Great customer service. Didn't eat but saw the food coming out of the kitchen and it looked fabulous. Give The Bullers a try if you're in the locale. You won't be disappointed.

Great value for money. Had the chicken jalfrezi and chips my husband had hunters chicken and my daughter had a chicken burger ,garlic bread with cheese , 2 pints of cider and a pint of coke £47. There was a little bit of a wait but well worth it. None of us could finish the meal. Highly recommend

Visited here twice during our week stay in Brixham. Food was really good on the whole. The steaks were a bit hit & miss (both order medium/well but one was undercooked and the other overdone) and also the steak sauce was watery. But all other meals were fabulous. Huge portions. Lovely side salad and choice of potatoes. Need to get some kids menus printed! Kids loved playing pool which was only 50p a go. Staff welcoming and friendly. Would recommend a visit.

We only had drinks. The bar lady was very nice and friendly. The food looked nice . The toilets were fine and the prices were good for harbour side Great view of the harbour. Got chatting to some locals . We had a nice time in here

This was on our pub crawl run, popped in on last stop; average quality beer witnessed both parties should have been ejected and barred which didn’t happen. One was kicked out other carried on Drinking thinking he was a legend not a great atmosphere go elsewhere

A couple of things on the already limited menu were not available. We decided on just two starters. My wife had carrot and coriander soup, which she found too salty. I had creamy garlic mushrooms on bruschetta. As the creamy garlic mushrooms had been poured...

Food is amazing. Friendly staff. Good beers and food portions are very generous. Highly recommended. Reasonably priced food.

Our first time in here whilst on holiday and visiting Brixham. Very friendly welcome from Lisa behind the bar. My Hunters Chicken was tasty and very filling. Chunky chips were especially nice. Hubby enjoyed his Fish, chips & mushy peas and was amazed at the...

Had a meal there tonight. Excellent value - home made top crust pie and 2 sides £13.95. Pies come as Small, Medium & Large. We had the medium which was ample. Watched the football as well, pefect. Dogs allowed if it helps. Well woth a...

Disappointed they no longer offer Sunday roasts, but their pies are excellent and good value. They also have an extensive menu.

The atmosphere in this pub used to be amazing, staff were lovely and always so welcoming. But the two northern ladies who work behind the bar just have a bad attitude and are really killing the vibe of this pub. The younger one is so...

Nor the widest range of beers or spirits but clean, warm & comfortable in there. Average prices for the area. My friend & i had few games of pool at 50p a game which is cheap compared to many places these days.

Was down in Brixham for a golf weekend, courses were closed due to storm Eunice, so found ourselves in The Bullers on Thursday and Friday night for beers and pool, was made to feel very welcome by the staff and locals and being a little...

Been going here for a few months, the landlord and staff were amazing. There are new people there now and it has gone downhill. The staff have no idea and menu is appalling. Visited Friday 11/02/22 and was made to feel really uncomfortable there ....

We stopped here for a roast this afternoon, we hadn’t booked. We also had our dog, the food was great, nicely cooked, vegetables cooked well. Landlord came and gave our dog the off cuts of the meat. Nice honest pub.

Fabulous food, football on big screen, friendly staff, clean toliets Good choice of local beers, locally sourced produce, hot food

Excellent wholesome very tasty food , price too cheap for quality of the food , also came here October and quality and friendly welcome and service from staff is 100% continuous . Many thanks Lawrence

Nice friendly landlady and staff and excellent Sunday roast. Today the choice was beef, turkey or pork. Large serving with a good selection of veg - properly cooked, none of this al dente rubbish, with yorkshire pudding, stuffing and nice thick slices of meat. Would...

Friendly pub with good vibe and great value meals.The shepherd's pie is excellent. Good mash, plenty of meat. Love the seasonal vegetables.

Excellent pet friendly bar with very friendly staff and locals, a real asset to the area. Went to a local's singalong night which was great and met a large group of Brixham supporters who were great fun. Didn't eat in there but food looked ok...

Staff friendly and couldn't do enough. First time had draft cocktail and it was actually ok. Recommended to get multiples of 2 as 2 for £10 (£7 each), which is never bad advice. Great for sport and the meals looked and smelled delicious tho never...

Lovely pub, very friendly staff and food was delicious. Came out piping hot and was obviously home cooked. The curry especially was amazing. Very clean too. Would recommend!

We called in to this harbourside pub for coffee and tea cakes as advertised on their board outside. They had sold out of tea cakes but went to a local shop to get more. By the time the tea cakes arrived we had drunk our...

Very tasty would go again, it made the complete day out at brixham with a nice carvery. Very friendly staff and decent ale.

Had a lovely off the cuff Sunday roast here. It was busy but the lady behind the bar managed to find us a table. Food was really tasty and the service was friendly and efficient.

They were offering toasted teacakes and tea for £3.50. Nothing wrong with these but the presentation was abysmal. No saucers for the cups - saucers are pretty basic!! When I asked the waitress for saucers she just slammed a plate down on the table in...

Have eaten here before and had no problem, however today not so good, took our order, then told they had run out of what was ordered, forgot to process our order, when it eventually arrived, the burger my husband ordered was cold, and the waitress...

Just popped in here for a quick pint while we were sightseeing in Brixham and the young lady behind the bar was extremely helpful also food coming out looked nice It was clean and fresh And very nice atmosphere overall

Came in for food with a few friends about a month or so ago, food was absolutely amazing chef was so fast at cooking our food and gave one of the staff my compliments to give to her as it was soooo tasty too! Only...

Lovely staff lovely food. Ignore the bad reviews you are doing so well after a difficult few years . Would recommend

Sadly we cannot recommend this pub/restaurant due to bad service! The food was average but not worth the wait we had.

Friendly staff and food very good with a nice selection of ales/beers etc. Loved the Sunday roast...

Popped in on the off chance we could get some food. Plenty of empty tables and we soon found out why. Asked the waitress if they had any alcohol free lagers, she said she didn’t know what that was, surprised I ordered an orange juice...

Popped in for a beer whilst it rained somewhat, looking around at other tables food looked appetising. Both had fish and chips with mushie pees great food, amazing value, the staff we're attentive (table service) and kept up with my beer orders 😁 Definitely worth...

Everything was great at this pub. Fantastic food and great beer. Staff went above and beyond and we were made to feel really welcome. We were found a table for the football, even though we are not locals. Overall a great place and we would...

Great Sunday lunch and friendly staff.... enough said. Best roast I've had in a long time. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work

Great home cooked food, great service, friendly staff, easy to book. Amazing roasts on a Sunday and great atmosphere for the England match today. Thanks to all.

We went today to have a cream tea. We waited 20mins to even get served. When we did a luke warm tea came with minus the scones. It was terrible serve. Wouldn’t go there again.

Myself and my family have just visited the Bullers Arms on Sunday 20 June (Father’s Day). We booked for 5pm for a Sunday lunch. The meals 3 Turkey and 1 Beef were absolutely spot on. But more than that the customer service From Tiff and...

Booking was easy . We were seated in the window with the beautiful view. Staff were very friendly and made an effort to chat to us. Food was hot, fresh, tasty and a good portion size. Cutlery was clean, staff had clean uniforms. Toilets were...

Good little find this pub, pub grub at its best, staff friendly Nessa and Ryan couldn't do enough for us, defo coming back again

Came to Brixham for the day. Came to the Bullets Arms for a meal. Well what a treat we had. Food was home cooked and delicious and very fresh. Beer very good. Staff were excellent, very friendly and efficient. Would certainly come here again.

We went to the pub to watch the football and have a drink, and waited a few minutes before being grumpily shown to a table. We were aware it was table service only so waited for someone to come over to take our order, and...

We didn’t book anywhere for Sunday lunch and Bullers had availability. Don’t be put off by the reviews it’s cheap and cheerful and does a cracking little roast. We had roast dinner and roast potatoes were perfect as well as the veg steam cooked perfectly...

Food was ok. Typical pub grub and cheap enough. But after being closed for nearly 6 months no-one thought to give the toilet a clean. Sorry not good enough when serving food.

Stopped twice for drinks only, good social distancing , track n trace staff friendly and good beer, ideal stop

Today me and the family visited this place for lunch. We were at first very disappointed with the service. We had to ask 4 times for the drink we ordered when we first arrived. The waitress named Nessa was not quite focused on her job...

Time constraints prevented us from having a meal which was a shame as the food we saw being served looked very good. The two bar maids were very welcoming and we shall certainly visit again when next in Brixham.

Ok but has gone down hill a bit Used to be a lot better but not so much fun now Food is good as is the service but it’s lost it’s sparkle

Booked a table for an early evening meal. When we arrived we went straight to the table and young lady took order for drinks. After about 10 minutes I approached the bar to ask about the drinks, they had forgotten. They brought drinks and we ordered the ribs. Lovely food. Good plateful. The one down side was the fact that that even though the majority of people adhered to the covid 19 rules in place at the moment, a group of 4 very young people walked in, no masks, strolled through and sat at a table by us. They were a little loud at times and were using bad language and at no time were they asked to tone it down or to wear masks on the numerous occasions they got up to go outside for a cigarette or to toilets.

great food , 2 meals for £16.00, and fish and chips before 5pm for a fiver , , adhearing to covid rules .lovely staff, , made us feel very welcome. toilets very clean , food was really good and homemade, ate here a few times...

From the outside this is an old fashioned pub with not much kerb appeal but what a lovely surprise when we went inside. Two very attentive staff run the bar with great efficiency. All COVID rules followed but in a very friendly and pleasant manner. We hadn’t planned to eat here but after seeing other people eat we decided to try as it looked so nice. Fish pie was superb and so fresh as were the fish and chips. What a lovely local pub. So glad we popped in

Our 2nd visit, very friendly landlord and landlady, dog friendly, food was very good, husband had the burger which he said was best he'd ever had, I had fish pie home made, with fresh veg, very nice, reasonable prices 2 for 16.00,last time we had fish and chips,

Ate here last night, very good service, food was really good, reasonably priced, staff pleasant and helpful, guidelines adhered to. Will eat here again

Highly recommend this pub for its welcoming helpful staff, amazing fish and chips at such a great price. Will be back! Thank you Pete! Table 6 yesterday!

After a 8 mile walk from paignton to brixham. We arrived starving hungry and a thirst to drink the harbour dry. We stopped at the Bullers and it was everything we expected it to be, warm, friendly and serve a great pint Highly recommended and the food looked great to xx

Fantastic service Fantastic value Fantastic food Nothing but 1st class today Could not fault them. Highly recommended

I booked a table for 5. I was asked if a dog was included in our small party of family. As an important member of the family, I was delighted that dogs are very welcome. The menus was limited due to the new restrictions on food storage. When questioned about various dishes, the chef was very honest about what was good and what was not so good. The meals we ordered were good. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I await the full menu when normality returns and will definitely return.- Top marks for effort for the staff at the Bullers Arms!!

Very dated inside, needs a good spruce up. Reminds me of an old mans pub. Not enough staff, only 2 so long queues at the bar, not good for social distancing, no table service. Food is nothing to rave about. Overall just ok

Visited the Bullets today asked for a table to watch footie that was sorted , Food very nice and staff very friendly

The staff had excellent service. On 2 occasions in one week (we went back because it was so good) and they were so busy but managed to fit us in. It made a change to visit somewhere where the COVID rules still applied but the staff were still polite friendly and treated you with respect and like you weren’t a naughty child

Popped into the pub for lunch as visiting Brixham for the day... We left after just having a drink. No social distancing measures in place whatsoever, only one person serving behind the bar and no waiter service. This resulted into a queue forming for people waiting to be served and no markers for people to stand safely which resulted in 4-5 people standing at the bar at one time. Tables where you could sit to eat had not been placed apart from each other and the pub was very busy. Nobody was asked by any member of staff to stand back and respect people's space. We left as we felt very uncomfortable.

Having worked in hospitality for years I hugely do not agree with pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants charging more to ‘tourists’ then ‘locals’ This Place you will be charged an extra 50p per drink if you are thought of as a tourist!!!! Little do they know we are not and visit regularly as family live there! Will not be visiting again I find this wholly unfair! And top top things off dirty glasses.... NOT my lipstick and clearly not good cleaning practices during these uncertain Covid times!

Took family for food. Very clean and friendly staff. Food is lush and staff always happy to help if something not on menu. Very Covid friendly. Well done

When everywhere was full up and not table available the staff will away try and help out. Very nice staff good home made food and good service. The real ale is very good.

Came here looking for a lunch time meal. Fantastic welcome from bar staff and great service. Going the extra mile to help. Food was more than plentiful and tasty. A place on the harbour, fish and chip special with mushy peas for less than a fiver perfect. And with them doing the eat out, help out 2 for a fiver better than perfect. Thank you

visited here on the 25/18/20 and had a delicious meal. service by vanessa and anita was amazing and were so friendly, service with a smile. i was shocked to find out the managers were the two people who’ve were least helpful. the chef even came up to change the chanel and was really helpful when i asked about the menu. the food was amazing and would defiantly go again but only due to the professional and friendly chef who i can only assume was head chef because of experience in the industry. “managers” let the place down but thank you to the ladies behind the bar who made our experience. :)

My husband and I had a late lunch, the staff were very friendly, we had table service I ordered the fish pie with veg my husband had the fish and chips. The food was lovely and 2 meals for £16 you can’t go wrong. Will definitely be returning.

We had a nice evening meal here on the first night of our holiday. Had fish pie with vegetables and husband had sausage and mash. Food was good atmosphere was nice, good pub food!

Had a lovely meal today at the Bullers. We’ve been to Brixham the last 2 years and always end up here. Food is lovely and staff are always accommodating at finding us a table despite there being 6 adults as 4 kids. Highly recommend. We had the fish and chip special today for £4.95 each, a bargain!

5 Hungary family members found solace here on a very busy and hot day when Brixham was rammed. Must be said, we walked in out of desperation. What a relief, the staff, food, and Covid protection arrangements were excellent. A very enjoyable experience.

Excellent Friendly serviceFrom Anita & other Staff Compliments to the Chef Food cooked to perfection. Tidy potions Clean & tidy bar & lounge. Toilets Clean checked regularly Would highly recommend this place For food & Drink Service etc 10 out 10 for service.. I'll be visiting here again when in Brixham...

My family and I came in for a drink and food. The food was absolutely amazing and large portions. We all ate everything. The staff were brilliant! Would highly recommend! Thank you so much for such an enjoyable, welcoming visit!!! :)

We are a whole family who happened to visit Brixham after our stay in Exeter. First impression is a family owned business with a hands on personal touch.Food is tasty and ample all the staffs which we all thought owns the place are all friendly with a welcoming smile on their faces.It was a treat for all of us since their fish and chips was on a special for half the price.They dont have a specific menu for cocktails but they can make any on request.Overall a highly recommended place for a group of friends or family whenever you visit or stay in Brixham.

Great pubWas recommended by friends Have stayed in Brixham twice within the last 3 weeks and now class this as our 'local'Jo Jo is fantastic and remembered usAlways polite, courteous and extremely helpfulShe should have her own pubWould love to take her home with usSee you again soon x

We struggled to find somewhere to eat on Tuesday. Everywhere was packed due to the Summer and the 'Eat out to help out' scheme.The Bullers staff were really accommodating and found us a table.The pub was a proper old fashioned British pub which we loved.The food was pretty good and all meals were 2 for £16.Take off 50% eating on a Mon to Wed and you've got yourself a serious bargain.The beer was decent too.We went back for a second evening and again had a lovely time.We were a party of 6 with kids aged 12 + 14 who were welcomed.There didn't appear to be a time that it turned 'adults only' which was nice

My friend and I booked in advance to take advantage of the discount in August. Meal was cod and chips for me, my friend had the fish pie. Both meals were generous portions, the fish was definitely fresh and cooked to order. Staff were really nice to chat with and attentive to our needs. The atmosphere in the pub was pleasant, considering the fact that numbers were limited due to covid-19 restrictions. We're going to be visiting again in a few months and The Bullers Arms is definitely on the list for visiting again.

We visited here 2 days ago as a family.We ordered lasagne, chicken tikka masala, cod and chips and a kids meal of chicken nuggets and chips.The lasagne and chicken nuggets were piping hot and home made which was really nice to see although the lasagne could've been more tomato'ey as the meat looked very pale. Also the onions were big chunks and as much as i like onion i don't want to be crunching them in a lasagne but thats being picky and personal preference. The batter on the chicken nuggets and the cod was a bit soggy and not crispy at all.Staff are all really friendly and attentive and we had 50% off our bill from the 'eat out' campaign.Ate here last year and would eat here again but would order differently perhaps..

Had no idea where to go for something to eat in Brixham and saw Bullers arms. What a fantastic meal. Food was outstanding. Could tell it was fresh and home made. Staff were very friendly and felt very "covid safe". If we are ever in Brixham again we will be back

Best pub in town by a mile. Good pub grub served with a smile. It's not hard is it and they tried really hard and we loved it. Don't miss this one.

Grate dinner excellent staff fantastic honest no nonsense pub grub staff really were accommodating highly recommend

Visited for lunch,only wanted a snack but there was only a limited menu available. We decided to have a burger which was lovely.The real ale was kept very well ,despite the owner( I presume) telling us someone had complained that it was cloudy,it cleared well so obviously the person knew nothing about real ale! The owner seemed to think my husband was henpecked by me and my daughter and we had a bit of a laugh with him about it. Hence the reference it the title!When I ordered my last pint,it was coming towards the end of the barrel and he decided he wasn't happy serving it,I said it was fine but he took the price of it off the bill,thanks for that.So with the discount for the new eat out to help out scheme we did very well!

We ate here 2 weeks ago and we all agreed the food was outstanding, staff were amazing and couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Will definitely be returning

Went to a few pubs but this one had the friendliest welcome and the smiles from staff were something else. Two ladies were kept on their toes between cleaning, serving food and drink and making sure everything was up to scratch for everyone. I would definitely recommend this pub, once in you won’t want to leave although I’m sure the ginger bar maid could put you over her shoulders.

The food is something else highly recommended and a nice friendly pub made to feel welcome and can't wait to eat there again.

We’ve just had a meal at this place. Couldn’t fault it. I had the fish pie my partner had fish and chips. Got to say both lovely. Home made and plenty of. No complaints whatsoever. Good food good price. Friendly staff. Perfect
