The Colcombe Castle in East Devon

This place is very much a locals place. Open mike night on when we visited. Not many customers Very old run down and drab. Manager was friendly enough to start but then when we had bought a drink was only interested in his locals. Drinks expensive for the type of place. Ok for one drink but no atmosphere. Wouldn’t visit again

Not sure anything has changed in here for many a year, but that’s not necessarily a terrible thing. The welcome is friendly and the drinks cheap, complemented by a relaxed atmosphere and homely decor. It’s not the place you’d go for a special occasion, equally it’s somewhere you can just pop out to for a drink and a chat without any formality; sometimes, that’s just all you want.

Very good place to meet friends and the carvery is excellent entertainment is varied and the landlord is very good and fair always joins in with the entertainment but will not stand for any nonsense best place in colyton

Excellent venue, great food fantastic hosts. So welcoming and relaxed. Definitely would do again. Brilliant!!!

Saturday evening 26th of August and we were going to have a drink here. We walked up the steps into the bar area, there was no one in there, even behind the bar was empty. There was a room off behind the bar and we did see some people sitting there, it was all a bit dated and old fashioned.  There was no character or atmosphere in the place, which was disappointing as it looks full of promise from the outside, so we turned around and walked out.

Quiet but great food. Went for on a Sunday evening as staying in Colyton and needed somewhere to eat. Food was traditional carvery with choice of three meats and a good selection of vegetables. All fresh and good quality. Friendly staff who care about what they are doing. Shame it was so quiet. Recommend.

Had Sunday lunch here after taking the kids on the Seaton Tram. Right in the centre of town, easily accessible and great value. The quality of the food was very good and for a family of five was value for money. It's always a good sign when the place is packed with returning locals!!will definitely be back when we're in the area again, and have no hesitation in recommending.

Teníamos un asador muy agradable aquí hoy. 3 Carnes y muchos vegetales. Un amplio sirve sin ser excesivos. Placas de plástico fueron presentados para los niños y no estaba disponible para niños de plástico cubiertos también. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos por el personal amable.Bien, no es el más lujoso de los restaurantes en los que he estado, pero era totalmente aceptable para un rápido almuerzo de domingo.

Asador increíble en el domingo, más tarde en el año, también en una noche de miércoles, pero mejor que llamar para veces popular u ocasiones.El ambiente es de estilo carece y asientos en la sala de actos es básico. La habitación es el adyacente al bar público. Es utilizado en otras ocasiones para bolos y noches de micrófono abierto, así como funciones.Dicho esto, el asador es excelente con disfrute de la abundante oferta de vegetales opciones. No sólo eso, puedes ir por unos segundos de vegetales top.El propietario y su esposa son sensatos, como son su personal a los clientes, tomarse algún tiempo para chat o bromas con usted. Su mujer prepara la comida, creo que es magnífico, y con tres carnes en oferta. Las carnes se cocinan a la perfección y asado patatas crujientes (adorable). Si te gusta chispeante, hay un plato con este en separada. . . . . Aaaah muy rico..Como ya he dicho la decoración o ambiente es deficiente, esto no quita de la atmósfera amable y buena comida saludable.

Not had the pleasure of eating here yet! Staff very friendly and a fantastic atmosphere. Well done guys

Mano mi cumpleaños aquí fue maravilloso. Los propietarios hacen todo lo que pueden para ayudar con el evento. El carvery es increíble a un precio muy razonable. El entretenimiento es gratis y también puedes apuntarte. Mesa de billar bolos aliado también disponible una habitación de la planta baja.

Metimos en la comida del domingo para ver lo que sería el almuerzo. Realmente encantador, simpático, limpio y delicioso caliente muy bien servida de parrilla y una selección de carne de res, cerdo y sobresaliente. Los tres eran preciosas. Las verduras, había un montón de opciones junto con el típico asado, etc. y la yorkies ollas se veía preciosa.

A really friendly pub, with excellent, quick service and nice food. There was lots of choice at the carvery & plenty of puddings to choose from too. But I'd go back again just for the service alone.

My sister and brother in law recently had their wedding reception and evening do at The Colcombe Castle. We were all made to feel very welcome by the landlord and landlady. The food provided for the wedding reception and evening buffet was excellent. I would highly recommend The Colcombe Castle as a venue for either a special family occasion or Sunday lunch!

The Sunday carvery really hit the spot after a long morning walk and enjoyed by all, sorry to say no room for desert.We returned Sunday evening for the free cinema night and had a great time. I would highly recommend it and getting there early to manoeuvre the sofas into the perfect spot

Saw Sunday carvery on the board outside and decided to try it. Very nice meal at a good price. Landlord was very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the chats with locals at the bar. Otter beer was a positive. Recommended.

I visited this lovely, traditional pub with my family. The carvery was great, with the meats and veg cooked perfectly, the atmosphere was very good with lots of other families enjoying their lunches. Tom, the landlord was most pleasant and very friendly. We later returned in the evening to enjoy some drinks and the live music. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to visit.

Came here for a traditional Sunday lunch and from the noticeboard £8.95 seemed like a reasonable price. However, this isn't very reasonable when nothing is fresh! All frozen or tinned produce. The roast potatoes weren't even homemade and were from a packet and very hard indeed. I think they must be getting a great profit because I could've got the whole carvary stand for £10 at Iceland, so for £8.95 per plate they must be raking it in.The only plus side was the landlord was friendly and I would want this place to do well, so please consider for the price making it all from scratch. Nobody comes for a Sunday lunch out and expects worse than they could get from a ready meal! With your friendliness you deserve to do well, so just peel some actual carrots, make your own roasties and don't smother the new potatoes in butter. Fresh is best, always.

Really enjoyed the great value tasty carvery in this proper old style traditional pub in the centre of the lovely town of Colyton. The landlord Tom went out of his way to make us and everyone else feel welcome. Definitely recommend if you're looking for friendly, fuss free, great value tasty Sunday lunch.

Good value sunday lunch carvery in a very nice old pub being run very traditionaly. £8.95 at time of writing with a very friendly landlord. Take the old electric tram for a good day out to this place

We've lived in Colyton for a couple of years so have used all establishments over this period. We use the Colcombe on a regular basis and find the landlord Tom to be very friendly and amiable we enjoy the banter which he creates. They recently started sunday carvery which I'm sure will be a great hit all cooked by Michelle the landlady.

The landlord opened the kitchen for 7 of us. Then we stayed for the entertainment a good group playjng 60's music with the landlord on guitar.

WE went for a ploughmans the bread was the time you get at the super market and put in the oven to cook the ham was supermarket ham a pickled onion a lettace leaf I hope the will get better but do I want to take a chance !
