The Ebberley Arms in North Devon

A cracking town pub, good selection of beers.

Great entertainment, great landlord an lady, always lots of people, brilliant night out, best in town.x

This place is great very welcoming and dog friendly it has all the amenities you require for a short stay, it can get a little noisy at night but what would you expect above a pub (it’s good to see roaring business) will definitely be back and a big thank you to the owners of the Ebberley Arms Barnstaple.

Good bar. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and customers. Good beer and price, too.

Lovely hosts so friendly and welcoming

Excellent venue, good choice of drinks. Really friendly staff and lots of live music to choose from.

The pub is registered to the Redtooth Poker league, but they have no information available online about start times. Tried to call 20+ times throughout the day to get more information, but there was no answer and often a line busy. Turned up at roughly 7:30pm after a 30-minute drive to be told the game started at 7pm and I couldn't get a seat.... The lads at the poker table were very apologetic, but it isn't their fault, it's the lack of advertisement from the pub.

Could not believe it I walked in to this pub to see my friend whos shortly goingbto be a dad and his father and was very rudely told to leave....... I asked for what reason and they said they don't want me in there.... get out now?????? Peggie Mitchell style get out ma pub 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Went for Sunday lunch, food was excellent, great service, Thankyou.

Kelly and Phil have made The Ebberley a warm, friendly and welcoming pub. Service with a smile is always top notch. There are many activities and live music throughout the year (including poker every Wednesday night at 18:50).

Went there to see a Buddy Holly tribute act, we were made to feel so welcome, lovely place.

We stayed for one night only as attending a funeral. Kelly and Phil were very friendly and accommodating. Spotless rooms with everything we needed. Thank you both.

Went and spent the day watching football, the atmosphere was really good and the drinks were priced very reasonable. Great day, and I will be returning with my mates for more football days.

One of the best public houses in town

Vedry warm and personal welcome from Kelly. Atmosphere and service carried on in a very friendly manner. Room was clean and bright. One side of the matress seemed to have collapsed but the other side was very comfortable and had a great nights sleep. Bathroom and shower were adequate and spotlessly clean. During the evening, in the bar I noticed some chips etc being served to some customers. I enquired if I could order some but was told they were only for the bowling team. However, i was promptly asked if I would like some and was served a plate of chips and sausages, free of charge ! A full English breakfast was purchased for £5 and their bar prices were also very reasonable/ Can highly recommend and if I'm down that way, will definitely stay again.

Recently spent a night in the newly refurbished rooms above the pub. Perfect location for town centre / Theatre. Complimentary coffee / tea / shampoo & body wash. Clean and fresh with a comfy bed. Breakfast was a bargain and freshly cooked for us. Would certainly recommend and will definitely be back.

Good beer served by very welcoming people. Very popular with many people.

Great beer prices and good choice of ales. Love the live entertainment, which is great to see.

What a great place to stay Stopped Friday and Saturday Live music great breakfast Good local ales Kelly and Phil are a great team looking after you whilst staying Will definitely return in the future Cheers brian Great place if your walking the swc path Good bu's routes Can't ask for more

Had a fabulous afternoon Sunday before last. But very hot, window didn't open and the bouncer said we couldn't keep the door open. Friendly staff and customers.

A lovely locals pub full of life great ales and atmosphere. Good live music on Sunday afternoons and Saturday night

Welcoming staff, inexpensive drinks and regular live music.

Friendly bar staff, well priced drinks, massive back room for private parties. I went when there was a good band on, decent night out.

Proper pub pub with good atmosphere when a live band is playing.

First visit to Barnstaple, we visited the Ebberley by chance, friendly with good ale, would be a good local and one to try when in town.

I went to the recent "March of the Mods" weekend on the 3rd/4th of March held at The Ebberley. I enjoyed both days immensely. There was a brilliant atmosphere and a warm welcome from all the staff on duty. It was great to meet up with friends, old and new. All the bands and DJ's played my type of music. My personal favourites were The Liquidators and The Embezzlers. All in all, it was a great event at a great pub. Phil and Kelly are very hard working and know how to put on this type of event, and if it was repeated, I would certainly attend again. I have also called in to the Ebberley on the odd occasion and have always had a warm welcome.

Friendly pub. Great for live music 🎶

Really lovely lady behind the bar, have promised to return with the tarka trial pub crawl T Shirt nobody's made it back yet. Lovely selection of Ales

Never been here before. Nice welcome and a very good pint.

This is a quaint and typical olde pub. The staff are wonderfully welcoming and the drinks are well priced and good.

Performed here as a musician on 3/12/22 - firstly, the owners are a lovely couple who are very accommodating and all-round great people 👍 also, the crowd was arguably one of, if not the best that I have had the joy of playing for! I could never run out of good words to use for these guys, highly recommended for customers or performers! 🎸🍺

Needed a quick coffee, it did the job

Great beers,great staff , great live music and great sport to watch

great pub, friendly locals, very welcoming

Had an amazing band on. Can't beat live music. Packed with people excellent night.

Tried (and failed) to do the Tarka rail ale trail today, and this was by far the biggest, friendliest place we visited. Lovely local crowd.

Fantastic landlady Kelly and of course hubby Phil, best Guinness in town. Exceptionally clean toilets maintained by the hour

Great atmosphere and if you like sport great for watching plenty of screens, good live music too!!

Great pub. Friendly locals, friendly staff, big screen sport and live music. Easily the best pub in town on a Sunday.

Needed a dog friendly pub that had Sky Sports football.. The Ebberley Arms didn't disappoint.Kelly&Phil were absolutely brilliant.Made us feel like locals,even tho we live over 200 miles away.Even supplied us with a free meal.. If you're in the area,looking for a drink at a really good price,this place would be hard to beat.

Brilliant,dog friendly pub with fantastic hosts Kelly and Phil.Made us feel like locals tho' we live over200 miles away.If you're looking for great dog friendly pub with Sky Sports,or just a pleasant place for a quiet drink at value for money prices,The Ebberley Arms is hard to beat.

Really friendly, helpful staff .....nice pint....and live music... although we didn't catch any music

Great atmosphere in this pub. Keeping the traditional public house alive. Hosts Phil and Kelly do a great job keeping folk happy and entertained

A lovely pub well run by landlord and landlady Kelly and Phil who have worked very hard for their locals who are a brill. Great place to play.

Really good pub with a lovely friendly atmosphere

Great pub landlord and landlady very welcoming and a friendly crowd too

Great place,always made welcome plenty of live music,Kelly and Phil allowed us the run of the pub for my mums 60th and what a night it was. highly recommended for party's perfect function room pop in and try the place out.

A nice cosy snug pub friendly atmosphere and good prices well worth a visit.

Great central town boozer with live music, great atmosphere, laughter and conversation flowing, good beers and some dodgy looking geezers who are salt of the earth actually! Spacious and with a large pool room with three tables. Appears to be kid friendly, but on my visit was almost totally an adult population. Live sports also on offer, but not the main focus of the place, which seems to be on having a good time!

Great people atmosphere really good, the landlady and landlord are lovely

Went for skittles match. Very helpful and friendly staff. Top notch scoff and we'll priced beer etc. Will go again

great place.great hosts.good atmosphere

Lovely place and really nice people

Very friendly bar shaff and clear pub

Stopped in at this place not knowing where we were as doing an a&e trip and they couldn't have been more welcoming, fantastic staff and couldn't help you enough. They don't do food but got us a menu for a local takeaway and when we had decided they phoned it through for us and even went and picked it up so we didn't have to go out in the rain. Sometimes you just find a gem where you don't expect it. Thanks so much for looking after us so well 😉

Lovely staff great beer , couldnt do enough for you

Lovely town pub customer service is brilliant nice people who run it

Good old pub loads tv for football

I had a wonderful time Jason was great as usual and everyone was so friendly enjoyed dancing bar staff were pleasant and quick service will go again

It's a local pub..dont go in very much .felt bit out of place

Great pub and friendly.. Kelly And Phil are cool

Came in (without a booking) to watch the premiership final. The landlords of the gaff welcomed us (and our two dogs) with open arms. We’d already tried a couple of places in town but the dogs were an issue.

Welcoming staff with good knowledge of their products they are selling. Good, clean Covid atmosphere and service.

Kelly and Phil are two of the nicest landlords you could ever meet, always service with a smile to go with your nice cold pint

A very nice place to have a beer

Excellent pub. Kelly and Phil can't do enough for you. Great atmosphere and very friendly. Both sky and bt for sports lovers. Just a brilliant pub.

Lovely place to go had a lovely time

Nice friendly pub . Held a small family wedding at the rear . Staff couldn't do enough for us

Wonderful people and amazing enjoyable experience and good friendly staff and great service and food

Friendly pub with reasonable prices for drinks. Nice food too, all home cooked

Please ignore the terrible review on this site as the current proprietors took over this establishment after that was written, and have really turned it around. We often drink here and finally, after hearing so many good reviews from the locals, booked in for Sunday lunch and it was brilliant, best Sunday roast around! All the produce is cooked fresh, choice of three meats, vast array of fresh vegetables and accompaniments and it tasted amazing. The pork had a lovely bit of crackling, and the beef melted in the mouth. Highly recommend, and great value for money too. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Thank you for a lovely meal. Will definitely be back!

Great place n atmosphere, friendly staff n customers x

Brilliant good game of skittles and won

My friend was coming down from Leeds and we asked if they would show the Leeds Rugby game for us, which they did as soon as we got there. Staff very friendly, music heavy rock on jukebox excellent...good night.

Great Sunday carvery followed by brilliant band in evening, lovely day out

Good, safe and fun atmosphere with affordable prices. Recommend for events as it has a nice size function room and I hear the carvery on Sundays are amazing too.

Had a Sunday roast today,very good value, good size portions an choise of vegetables. I Would like my food hotter, but not so easy for carverys to keep as hot as i would at home.But all good other wise,would use again.

It's a proper pub with great staff and wide selection of drinks.

An excellent venue for a staff early Xmas party. Great disco and a staff karaoke. Buffet was superb. Good value drinks too. Thanks to all concerned. N.

They are all such an amazing people very welcoming and the food is fantastic. Highly recommend to everyone. This is now going to be my local although i live in braunton. The owners are like family truly wonderful. So take my word for it and get down to the ebberly don't wait any longer.

Very welcoming fantastic carvery on Sunday

Great atmosphere. Good place to meet up.

Friendly staff, value for money, clean facilities. Very happy to return in the future.

This pub was taken over in June 2018 by the current landlord. Together with his team they have made the pub into an extremely welcoming place for locals and visitors alike. Drinks are not expensive - on tap ale for £3.00 that tastes great will always go down well with me. I took my family down for the carvery last Sunday and I was blown away by the quality of everything about it - plenty of choice of meat (gammon, pork, beef - I had all 3!) and vegetables in abundance. It was all piping hot as served on carvery hotplate. Service was second to none. You won't find a better carvery in town, particularly given that the price is extremely competitive. I'm looking to take some more of the family back later this month. Give it a go!

Really lovely food. Great selection of veg and meats. I believe the meats were all sourced locally too. The pub has a great vibe and friendly staff. I will be recommending.

Been and had a carvery here twice now, and it hasn't failed to amaze me! My children loved it that much too, they have asked to come down every week just for the carvery! But apart from the food, the staff are fantastic, and prices are very good. Live bands are regular aswell. Look forward to going down again and again.

Helpful and friendly staff. Friendly landlord and landlady. Amazing food couldn't recommend anymore since it's been taken over by the new owners.

Clean toilets, friendly staff and locals and amazing food and drink,really tasty and not to expensive. Would recommend and return.

A nice pub, great for pool and entertainment.

New Landlord Ryan has giving the pub new life! Great atmophere and huge range of drinks to enjoy. Great venue for sports and music! Looking forward to spending more time there!

Needs an overhaul to bring up to date, but lovely staff!

If you enjoy sport they got BT and sky

Good pub, 3 pool tables, nice atmosphere and good beer

Lovely building and nice food. Some people rave about the carvery and whilst it's enjoyable I don't think it's spectacular and the gravy needs improving.

Went for a drink, and ended up having Sunday lunch. Excellent customer service, friendly staff, food was amazing expecially the cauliflower cheese. Highly recommended

Not been there for many years, what a transformation, looks and feels like a nice place to eat and drink.

Good for a coffee and meeting in the daytime like I had today with a colleague and also a more social evening as I enjoyed earlier in the week. Great cucumber cocktails too!

It's a nice pub to sit down in and have a beer but the food is not good at all

We had a couple of drinks in this charming little pub after shopping. Lovely atmosphere and the allowed us to bring our four dogs in. Well worth a visit.

Mi pareja y yo estuvimos en Devon para el fin de semana y encontramos este pub. El ambiente era genial y muy acogedor desde la ciudad, no es a menudo encontrará pubs como este. Nos alojamos por la música en directo los sábados por la noche. Nuestra experiencia esa noche llevó a volver para comer el domingo al día siguiente. El asado los domingos era uno de los mejores iv tenía por un largo tiempo la carne estaba perfectamente preparada la razón por la que escribo esta crítica era que mi compañero tenía absolutamente ninguna queja y, creedme que por lo general se encuentra en la mayoría de las cosas. fallo recomiendo este.
