The Globe Inn in East Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very quiet Wednesday night ruined for them by 13 drunk blokes. In fairness we did sort of behave and the landlady looked after us really well

Oh, what a hidden gem I found, The Globe Inn, with its treasures unbound, A place of warmth and history so profound, Where the beer flows, and the ciders abound! With 30 beers on tap, a true delight, And local ciders so crisp and bright, The atmosphere, so friendly and warm, A place to unwind, and forget life's storm. The clocks that adorn its walls so well, Ten in all, a sight to swell, And at 12 o'clock, they all chime in, A moment so unique, and full of din! The history of this inn, so rich and vast, With tales of smugglers and sailors amassed, A place of legends, and stories untold, Of daring feats, and fortunes so bold. Oh, what a fantastic experience, To visit the Globe Inn, so grand and immense, A place of warmth and history, so dear, And a true testament to the spirit of cheer!

Very friendly service, simple but very tasty menu. Nice atmosphere. A great pub.

Very friendly staff. Nothing too much trouble. Food was amazing.

Absolutely superb Sunday roast, the unique harissa root veg purée was a delight, great service and ambiance :)

Oh wow, what a pub! What a friendly and warm hearted welcome! This is the place to be in Lympstone

We had a superb lunch at The Globe Inn, Lympstone yesterday and this far exceeded our already high expectations. We were looking for somewhere nice and a bit of googling showed us the Globe Inn so we stopped by. Whilst we were first in, we were in no rush so we sat and relaxed in the nice surroundings with a drink whilst our mussels, monkfish and ribeye steak were all prepared. We were not disappointed and I could not rate the food, service and experience more highly. It was so nice finding somewhere that isn't just offering the same old fare and there was enough fresh fish on the menu alongside other dishes that I foresee us returning multiple times in the near future. The Globe Inn is well worth a lunchtime visit and I hope you have as enjoyable a time as we did!

Fantastic food (good selection of local fish) and great service with a friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend

Had a great evening meal. Chef great and cooked for us a really tasty fish and chips and a local whole mackerel with a salsa Verde sauce. Friendly service.

Really exceptional public house and restaurant which is a great asset to Lympstone village. Very friendly and helpful staff - and customers. Dog friendly. They welcome cash - so no problems there. Looking forward to visiting again soon. The beer is great too.

Fantastic pub, will definitely be visiting again!

What a great place for a pint whilst walking the dog. On the day we attended a live band were playing at 21:00. The pub filled up and the evening was banging, the dog didn’t make a fuss and there were plenty of trains back to Exton, what a superb afternoon out.

Pleasant popular pub in the heart of pretty Lympstone Village. Polite staff/management and tasty menu. I opted for a small plate (see photo). Small beer garden across road from the venue which is right on the Exe Estuary - you can even walk on the sand if the tide is out and enjoy amazing sunny evenings (customers can enjoy a drink in a real glass outside, instead of one of those horrible plastic ones which is sadly the case with a lot of venues these days). Small two person tables and chairs directly outside pub too - ideal for a solo with a good book! Dog friendly pub too.

Visted tonight as staying in the area great amopser resanbelly priced great food great selection off drinks,hope to return and maybe book a room. My type off pub very freindely staff ,quite a cosy romantic pub altougj I was on my own . I had burger and chips but restaurant restaurant quitey wish I was in the area longer area area longer

Lovely pub. Veru welcoming staff. Well worth a visit.

Really friendly staff and the genuinely best cocktails in Exeter!

Lovely cozy pub, with a great pint

Rude and arrogant staff , also dirty, sticky tables

Held my daughter’s wedding reception at The Swan. Every element was excellent - the team could not have been more helpful or professional. Delicious food (BBQ and paella cooked outside) good wines and beers, perfect service and a lovely atmosphere. Really good value too. Thank you to all - thoroughly recommend.

Recently refurbished with a new owner this attractive pub is definitely worth a stop. Fast, Friendly service of good drinks including real ales and a decent food offering available. Recommended.

Lovely, pretty pub with good, friendly service. Great choice of drinks and a couple of real ales. Recommended.

Lovely and helpful staff. ambience amazing. Thx for your consideration!

Cozy traditional village pub. Nice to see in this day and age. Good selection of beers and enough seats for customers.

The experience all around was fantastic! Stopped in for lunch and had amazing crab, bbq pork belly and grilled squid. The owner and staff were friendly and timely. The decor and setup has this really cool vibe. If you are anywhere near Lympstone, make it your first stop.

Great atmosphere, good food and service! Brilliant 👏

Newly decorated, lovely chilled atmosphere. Dog friendly and lovely tapas.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and fantastic food.

Nice fire. Good customer service. Right by the water views.

A great pub offering a friendly welcome and really tasteful decor. It's great to have The Globe open again. We can't wait to try something from the new menu. Good luck guys and we are all wishing you a successful future.

Change of ownership sees fantastic decor, chilled music, open fires and great drink choices. Looking forward to many more " dog walks " to this gem of a pub

Lovely place to go for a quiet drink, well worth a visit.

Friendly staff and good pub food.

Food was excellent, pleasure to meet the landlord.

Nice pub in Lympstone. Nice place to have a drink, delicious food and walk around. The service was brilliant.

Lympstone is absoulutly beautiful, like travelling back in time !

Really enjoyed our meal today. Freshly cooked, quality ingredients and well prepared. Will definitely return.

Great food, good service, very friendly and safe.

Warm fire, stone floors, real ale and a fantastic Sunday roast in the heart of Lympstone Village. Two minutes walk from the train station or on the coastal path from Exmouth. Great pub. Recommended by the whole family.

Booked for dinner last Friday - it was amazing! Greeted by charming staff (very Covid secure) and sat by the roaring fire. The pub was decorated beautifully and was really Christmassy - great work! The food was absolutely stunning - I had salmon and daupinois potatoes, gorgeous! family had burgers and scampi - really really enjoyed it all! Ambience great, will be coming back very soon! Thank you Team Globe!

Reduced menu, but the few specials made this meal out very special. Garlic mushrooms were delicious and the salmon main was beautifully presented as well as being tasty. Finished off with an amazing sticky toffee pudding. Service was excellent and it was just great to get out. Well done Matt and team

Have just had an amazingly fresh takeaway roast gammon dinner.Alongside was a glass of wine.Fantastic customer service. Would highly recommend.

Stayed in Lympstone for a long weekend. Discovered The Globe Pub on the first evening and ended up eating there 3 times. Lovely log burners, welcoming friendly staff and great food. Highly recommend the Sunday Roast. Will definitely return next time we are in the area.

Probably the best pub meal we have ever had! Great atmosphere, great food and great service.

Food was excellent... Very tasty burger and steak... And wonderful music.... The Looseners...Great group... Made for a lovely evening will definitely go again 👍

Great little pub with some tasty food.

Great friendly welcome from the landlord, will definitely be going again, the next time I visit Devon

Quality Sunday lunch... proper home cooked and tasty. Had the meat combo with all the trimmings, splendid. Good selection of ales and lagers will definitely be back

Everything from start to finish was exceptional. Lovely interior, warm and inviting. Friendly staff. Food excellent. Highly recommended.

walked from exmouth to topsham on a lovely hot day, thought it would be nice to go for a drink before we walked back againcalled into the globe as it was the first pub we came to.ordered 2 ciderswe were asked if we wanted thatchers gold or thatchers haze. i like haze so chose that one.the bill came to nearly £10! for 2 drinks!later after puzzling out how it came to this price we phoned them up and asked themthe thatchers haze which was a can opened and put into a glass cost £5!not even a pints worthrediculous cost for a tin of cider!think they need to look at their prices, no wonder they were emptyfunny enough the swan just up the road was heaving on the same dayi can now see why

Omg.... just had the veggi option of Sunday roast. Absolutely lovely ratatouille tart, new potatoes seasonal veg red wine gravy. 😃😃😃staff great also

We enjoyed a perfectly cooked steak with all the trimmings for £11. Great prices for a simple menu. Good luck Matt with your new venture.

Lovely prport village pub. Simple good fare. Good ales.

Great local pub with open fire.

Lovely atmosphere, very clean and great personal service. The best burger I've had in Exmouth. Will definitely be revisiting regularly!

Some nice beers and the staff were really lovely. I've heard it's recently changed hands so hopefully it's off to a good start. It's a lovely old building set out more as a restaurant than with comfy chairs. I hope they're going to add more decoration. It feels a little sparse at the moment. It could really be a great local.

Lovely location in a lively old village!

Closes down in October, so no need of a review...

Friendly efficient staff and a good atmosphere.

Great pub some amazing food and staff couldn't do enough to make your visit enjoyable

Good food. An enjoyable evening. Will return but not sure when as we've a few nice pubs in the village.

Good food, beer. Dog And People friendly

The nearest pub to our cottage as in 20 steps away so really convenient. Visited on a Saturday afternoon. It was really quiet. Nice selection of drinks. Didn’t eat but menu looked nice.

Called in here for a meal. The food was okay, but I think thick home made chips would be better than those skinny fast food chain type ones. The service was good and friendly, but The prices are a bit on the steep side for pub food. Overall we found it adequate for a one off, but would not rush back.

We came for the live band evening which was scheduled to be on at 8pm according to the flyer.We got here at 7.30pm for dinner. The place was buzzing with people (and dogs) with a fabulous and friendly atmosphere. We placed our order at 7.40pm and no food was in sight even when it was at 8.20pm! Sadly, no staff came and checked on us until we approached them. We were told that many people ordered food at the same time and ”unfortunately” we were at the end of that queue hence the long wait.Although the gentleman who came and spoke to us was very apologetic and said he was doing whatever he could, I couldn’t help but think to myself surely they wanted a crowd in hence they put a live band on and yet they were so unprepared with orders coming in, all at the same time or not. The gentleman seemed rather stressed and hassled by it all and that made us wonder how really prepared they were for the evening.It is never good to keep customers waiting. And it makes it worse not to take the initiative to approach customers who are being kept waiting. We were offered some snacks after we had complained about the long wait. And we then asked why the band wasn't still on (it's 8.30pm by then when the flyer said 8pm for the show), we were told the band was having their dinner! Were they as “unfortunate” as we were placing the order at the end of that long queue?? Our food finally came after an hour of waiting and the same gentleman came and offered us a round of drinks. We had two orders of steak which was good. The venison burger was average as it's overcooked and the salad that came with it was also pretty average. However, the herbivore burger was nice as I was told. We wrapped up the meal with the lumberjack cake (dates, coconut and apple) with ice cream which was lovely. It's tasty with a very good chewy texture. All in all, I thought it was a good evening as we had a good chat when the band was playing. The service could do with some improvement though. If it was an normal evening and the pub was overwhelmed by a sudden influx of customers, it’s understandable. However, being overwhelmed with a scheduled live band on and the band was late because of their dinner was a bit of a joke. I hope they can find a way to deal with it going forward as it is a great place with good atmosphere.

I was taken here for lunch for my birthday and was really looking forward to it having eaten at the Pig and Pallet before. We tried to book by email and l left a message on the answer phone but received no reply. I got through by phone in the end. On arrival there were reservation labels on the other reserved tables but not on the one which was pointed out to us which made me wonder if we were expected. We had to get our own menus and then get up and get our own drinks and service at the bar was slow despite the place being empty. The waitress was pleasant but it felt like there was no organisation. There was no unbattered fish on the menu but I was told I could have fish but when it arrived it was very dry and hard and clearly overlooked as the skin was charred. The other people’s food was ok so I didn’t want to complain or make a fuss but we told the waitress at the end that the fish was over cooked and she said she’d tell the kitchen. Really, it should never have been sent out. It is a nice place with good beer but just wasn’t worth the trip out or the expense.

Marcus and the Globe Inn team gave us a fantastic evening for my husband's 70th birthday. They let us use half the pub for our private party; decorated it with banners and balloons; allowed us to use their TV to show a birthday film, and organised music. They provided us with a great menu of delicious home cooked food, with good veggie options (but I heard that the calamari was amazing). And they put up with last minute changing numbers on the guest list. A great time was had by all. Thank you Globe Inn!

The Globe has a nice friendly atmosphere but the restaurant prices don’t reflect the pub quality of the food. £12.50 for ham,egg and chips is hard to justify. Homity pie is potato-based - why on earth would you serve it with chips? Nice place for a drink, but better value places locally for a meal.

Myself and my partner came here for dinner, the food was very nice. And staff were al very friendly and made us both feel very welcomed.

Excellent family lunch. Great friendly service and food. My venison burger was superb - and i have sampled many! Keep up the great work. Best food in Lympstone IMO.

On a rainy day The Globe provided a welcome retreat for a spot of lunch-white bait, tasty chunky chips and a cracking pint of Otter. The pub had a true village feel and we were welcomed warmly into this feel by a lovely land lady. The open fire was a real bonus. Highly recommend.

Mid-week dinner out with a friend for a gossip and catch up. We had both heard good things about this pub. It's very pretty inside. There were quite a few customers and the atmosphere was nice.

Cosy atmosphere. Friendly. Food was fine. I had a good pie (steak & kidney) Parking available c 100 yds away

Called in for a beer with friend whilst out for a walk. First pint I ordered was terrible i was offered an alternative which was drinkable but not enjoyable. Disappointing considering the high price. Wont be returning

This pub is superb. Amazing customer service, very friendly and a great warm welcome which is getting rarer these days. Great choice of ales and all local and we enjoyed sitting outside in the sun watching the world go by. The Menu is spot on and the food is fantastic. Will call in every time I’m in Exeter on business.

I have been back to eat three times before writing this review because I wanted it to be good. I'm afraid it just isn't, the food is over priced and not very well cooked or presented. There was clearly something wrong with the peas on our last visit, everyone who had them both complained and left them - the staff were just not interested in our complaint. Stick to The Swan or The Redwing, both do much better food which is a crying shame as The Globe is the nicer pub inside.

Great main course seated by an open fire which was lit. Good service and crayons and paper provided for children. Dessert was disappointing jam roly poly was not what I call ice cream with a jam and sponge covering.

Nice welcome, friendly staff, good atmosphere, good selection of draft beers - it was a real shame the fire had died out as it was raining all evening; we arrived wet and never really warmed up properly all night - we were disappointed :(

Great little pub. Very friendly and welcoming. Superb steak but please please make your own chips on the premises. It’s the only thing wrong. Stinks the village out too.

Excellent food, very welcoming particularly to our daughters and future son in laws puppy retriever. Great choice of wine. Had Sunday roast. Wow vegetables were fantastic. Very tender beef. Had blackcurrant crumble with custard great. Needed sleep afterwards. Will be back soon.

The Globe is a local pub with really friendly management and always our number 1 choice. Great beer and cider and excellent food!

Super food, best pub Sunday roast ever and 4 other meals all fantastic. Nice atmosphere and friendly service at a reasonable price. Very Impressed

I’ve been here a few times both before and after the new owners. Always liked it as a pub.

Fabulous Sunday roast; my pork just fell apart. Such a refreshing change from all those pile-it-high stuff-your-face carveries. Amazing veg too - the best cauliflower cheese in Lympstone I'm told! Great choice of ales, roaring fire, lovely staff. Make it a stop when you next cycle the Exe Estuary Trail.

Fabulous Sunday roast; my pork just fell apart. Such a refreshing change from all those pile-it-high stuff-your-face carveries. Amazing veg too - the best cauliflower cheese in Lympstone I'm told!

Amazing! The best Sunday roast I have eaten for years. Don’t pass this great pub. The staff are amazing, the chef superb!! Wonderful, tasty food!! Everyone is working together to make the whole experience exceptional. Great

Good food for the price and excellent customer service

On a quiet night in January this lovely pub still offered a great atmosphere with a cozy welcoming feel and lovely staff/management. We have been meaning to try since the new owners took over and were not disappointed, the menu and food were great, food simple buy locally sourced produce, the charcuterie was amazing as expected followed by a great tasty beef and Stilton pie! Our little girl had the chicken strips which were lovely pieces of chicken in a great batter, for a fussy 6 year old seeing her eat something is always a miracle!! Our server Charlotte was great and the manager Adam made us feel welcome, not rushed and made a real fuss of our daughter and puppy, overall a great night and we will be back again soon, would highly recommend!

The people running The Globe were good humoured and welcoming and delivered excellent service. We've used The Globe on and off for years and were very taken with the recent refurb. Best of all the menu made interesting reading with information about the local sourcing and welfare of animals which is so important to us. If we were going to eat meat, we'd have it from there. Even a recognition that it might cost a couple of pounds more, well worth it in our opinion. Very tasty food, nicely presented and not mass produced. My husband wanted well done sausages and actually got them for once! We wish the new management every success in the future.

Visiting the country, I was very surprised with the welcome of this place. It feels like home.

Having recently visited the Globe inn, I was initially disappointed to find

Took the family for a lovely weekend lunch... charming staff, decent beer and apparently all the meat is locally sourced... certainly tasted good :-)

The fish and chips is really good and home made. I really liked it. I must try the Sunday roast........

Had a lovely family Sunday lunch here, the food was amazing and they really care about the quality of the meat they use, the veg was on boards in dishes which i love as it give that family feel, also was more than enough for us, we had some wine and local ales and just a great time, would recommend highly and will be return to try their pub menu soon

Great atmosphere for the rugby.

Great atmosphere for the Eng v NZ match.

Not impressed! Lunch on Sunday was not good- veg cold and beef was tough and cold too. We complained as did others around us. No extra food offered only money back. Desserts were not special either.

Our first visit here under the new management was really disappointing. 3 adults and 2 childen went for Sunday lunch. The staff were welcoming and friendly, which augured well - wrong. We ordered 2 roast beef and the Porchester, plus a child's beef.

Very nice place & food good but expensive for what it is.

Popped in for a pint, my first visit to the pub since the new managers have taken over. There's a decent selection of south west beers and ciders and my ale was well kept.

Met with friends for drinks and coffee. Very poor filtered coffee from a flask on the bar. Served in old car boot style cups. Not sure we will return as not impressed.
