I went here and found it hard to swallow as the only have one real ale on pump which one doom bar.. I was expecting it to be silmular to my local The buckeneer which has a couple of ales on pump and one of my favourites being proper job. I hate doom bar hence my review. The pub very bright and can be quite busy... I hope they one day sell proper job which is now one of the most popular ales in Devon.

Called in for a drink with my family looks nice from outside. The place seemed to cater for the locals all knowing one another. A very different class of people we would normally not wish to socialise with. The bar woman kept looking at the cameras like something was about to happen. We went for a nice social evening . The bar staff were not very friendly or welcoming. We Felt like an hinderance. When I’m paying I expect a better welcome and service not feel like I’m at a camera monitoring room We will go elsewhere much nicer places of this busy main road

One of the best and friendliest environments you will will ever experience!! The owner was first class , if ever you’re on holiday pop in and say hello. Definitely will visit next time we’re down.

Unfortunately our family was racially abused by a very kind ‘gentleman’ standing at the door of this pub.. “They let every f*cker in here now” was his greeting to us as we approached.,Not the best of welcomes.. So if you are of ‘colour’ you may wish to avoid this establishment.. There are plenty more pubs about that have a more inclusive clientele…

Popped into this pub on a recommendation from our coach driver. It's a friendly local pub, with good beer and a pool table.

We have just spent the weekend in Babbacombe and what a lovely time we had. We visited the Dog and Duck and what a lovely time we had. Thank you for making us so welcome. The landlady is a true professional and very very good at her job. Everybody was really friendly and we had a lovely time. THANKS AGAIN. Highly recommend this pub. Thanks Liz and Ste from Liverpoolx

Just spent a week in lovely babbacoombe. The new landlord and landlady at the Dog and Duck were very friendly and welcoming. They even went so far to organise us a meal on our first evening even though they dont do food.

Visited Babbacombe at the weekend and so glad I found the Dog and Duck. The landlord and staff were friendly and chatty. Good few regulars help make the atmosphere and although I was on my own was not alienated. Good selection of beers must most of all a great pint of Carling at a reasonable price. I'm returning back to Babbacome in a few weeks and I will definitely make the Dog and Duck one of my first ports of call. Thanks again.

Nice, but only for a while. The service seemed nice at first but after a while we were treated like a nuisance. It wasn't pleasant. The beer selection was very small. The room should be renovated and the stench from the men's toilet removed (you could even smell it at the bar). I do not recommend.

Went in here just for a pint. Whilst the lady behind the bar was fine, the beer was bad and the surroundings were worse. Needs either a major refurbishment or knocking down.

On a road trip around the south and came across this little pub, after being from the northeast and chatting to a local guy at the bus stop he said.'there's a one of your lot works there' we called in for one and I can't say how welcome we were made to feel. Sam the local Geordie lass was a pleasure to meet as was the landlords.. call in if your in town.

Was out in Babbacombe with a friend and his dog and loking somewhere to sit and have a drink. Found most establishments were not dog friendly but were welcome at the Dog and Duck.The owners are dog lovers themselves and welcome anyone with a dog and go out of their way to make sure every is fine.

A proper pub just set off the downs at Babbacombe. Landlord and Landlady are fantastic fun and also know how to run their establishment. Guiness is always spot on and at a sensible price. Shows all sports if you are missing your team. Sun trap outside for the Summer days. Can't wait for our next visit.

Llamamos como estábamos esperando el autobús y nos alojamos porque tiene un buen ambiente. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Tanto Sky y deportes de BT para ver deportes lo que de hecho lo hicimos. Volveríamos. No hay parking. Pero, para nosotros el autobús fue nuestro chofer.

nice pub, not expensive, no frills. Staff were friendly, although it was a bit quiet. We were there mid week though so perhaps not a surprise.

Soy de Torquay local. Soy una madre que trabajan duro y hace una cerveza después del trabajo. Yo soy responsable, sensible y asegurar estoy controlado y competente en todo momento. Me llevé a mi padre (que estaba de visita por 3 días) y mi hijo de 2 años para una bebida antes de la cena. En este pub eran 3 personas que eran obreros regulares parando para una pinta después de trabajar y detrás del bar hay una señora que estaba claramente para un cotilleos y un escaso en el bar. Mi hijo está bien educados, controlados y supervisados en todo momento. canta, risas y juega todo el tiempo y mientras que en aquí entramos cantando pero no perjudicial cualquier cosa, molesto cualquiera de los 3 clientes o escalada, saltando, gritando o hacer otra cosa que serían considerados como antisociales pero chica detrás de la barra decidimos decirme "amor" para mantener mi hijo en la mesa. (Detesto ser llamado "amor" especialmente por una chica más jóvenes que yo). Siendo una madre soltera que estoy más que conscientes no hacen que cualquier perturbación o molestos a otros clientes. Esto me hizo sentir muy enfadado y me inmediatamente a la izquierda - nunca volver. Si tienes una familia o si tienes niños, ir a la discoteca. Agradable pub, buena pinta, el personal es amable y muy acogedor. Habiendo dirigido pubs durante los últimos 20 años, puedo decir que son absolutamente en posición de elegir a sus muy pocos clientes!!!!

El dueño del pub le permitió a mi esposo y a mi a ver el juego en la zona de la piscina, aunque el juego programado era la grande - hombre ciudad! Buena cerveza y buen ambiente. Sin duda lo recomiendo para Sky Sports. Gracias por una gran tarde.

No hay ninguna 'a' pubs de la zona. Así que es agradable para tomar una copa sin tener "la pared a los comensales la pared. Una buena selección de bebidas y probablemente el más barato de la zona. El personal del bar son acertadas.

Well managed and professionally run pub with good food and reasonable bar prices. Relatively small bar with added karaoke area and billiards nook. Brilliant karaoke system and compere and the regulars 'give it stick' with good support from the punters.Cosy and friendly atmosphere. Safe and comfortable. I will return.

One of few pubs to show the football. On the outside looks like a locals pub but once inside incredibly welcoming and warm to families. Service was great. Children made to feel welcome. Will definitely be back on our next visit.

NOT a carvery this is probably the pub Sunday Lunch closest to home cooking that you'll find in the Bay, and at a very competetive price: Select your starter, main (meat) course AND homemade dessert all for under six pounds! They only do one sitting for Sunday Lunch, and are always booked solid, so you will need to book in advance.

Stayed at the guest house. Came down with a group of mates who are away fans to come and watch my team play torquay united. We drank in the Dog and Duck and must say the family owners made us feel very welcome. A great place to meet for away supporters.

First of all I start with the positive. The food was lovely that was it. However if you have autism or anxiety don't bother going in here. For me Iike going out to places and keep myself to myself. I will often wear my ear buds or headphones to shut myself off. Interacting with people can be difficult. Obviously I spoke to the lady on the counter who was nice to order food. That bit was fine. I then sat down to keep myself to myself. Fine brought the food put. That was fine. Like I said I then had my headphones on where I prefer not to be interrupted. That's my way of blocking things out. I should be allowed to do that. Not I need to explain this but due to my situation I hate people approaching me when I have something like headphones on. It should a sign or signal to say I don't want to talk at the moment. I hate being caught off guard. So one of the waitresses came over offered to take my plate. I said I'm still using it. I thought I would be left alone after that. Shortly after the "owner" came over and asked the same question. I explained I don't like to be interupted and I was trying to listen to my music. I just thought it would have been obvious I didn't want to talk. I prefer not being bombarded after I have already paid. The "owner" then sacarcastcally apologied "I'm sorry about that love" and said "go somewhere else if you don't like it" which is highly unprofessional. Well he bumped into the wrong person. All I was doing is minding my own business. I have had a lot of things to process and prefer to be quiet at times. As for the "owner" you need to be educated on people with behaviour challenges. Every day its a challenge for someone like me. I then went up to the counter to explain that I'm on the autism spectrum and that I wear headphones to block things out for then for the lady with glasses basically saying first of all its a cafe and a social thing so basically have to interact with people. I then reiterated that I don't have to interact with people and I have my headphones on to basically keep myself to myself. The lady then had the cheeke to turn round and say I didn't have proof like a landyard. Why should advertise who I am. You don't ask that sort of question. Its not my fault people like them aren't educated on hidden disorders. It doesn't surprise me that there is not enough emphasis on this still but it makes me angry! I will not be coming back until it changes hands. Shocking service.

This place is more like a social experience than a café, in keeping the ethos of it's charitable background. We were way out of season and it's fairly well off the main beaches in a bit of a cul de sac of the riviera seafront so we suspect it's all very different in the high season. On New Year's Eve it was more like being invited to a family and friends get together than walking into a commercial establishment - apart from the paying bit obviously, but even that wasn't too painful!

Used this pub for many years when visiting Torquay , decided to eat here last Sunday evening we popped in to find out what time serving food till and was told 9pm so 7 of us went for food at 8.30pm , wish I never bothered clearly they wasn’t happy with us going so close to 9pm ! Waiter who served us could do with cracking a smile when you have a table spending £200 on food , I had the surf and turf as it’s now a very basic menu . Fresh prawns served in a little pot was like mush at the bottom and uncooked chips which I did tell the waiter who offered another bowl . Also the added pepper corn sauce was more like a packed mix gravy . Clearly food rushed as it was time for them to close so maybe change closing times. Even though the pub area had its usual happy vibe it doesn’t follow into the restaurant. Much cheaper and happy places near by . Sorry Hope in Wall I will not be returning !
