The Grampus in North Devon

Nice old pub in the village of Lee. Excellent food and lovely atmosphere full of locals and tourists for open mic on a Friday night.

Just a great friendly atmosphere

Great value for money. Recommend the venison burger. It's very tasty. Good variety of local draughts to enjoy. Very friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere!

Went down for their open mic night and couldn’t recommend it more. An amazing amount of very talented people. Great atmosphere, very friendly locals and a good selection of drinks.

Lovely rambling old pub with quirky character and charm. Warm atmosphere with welcoming staff. Good coffee, tasty home-roasted ham sourdough sandwich by fire topped off by owner Bill's friendliness and helpful advice about the beach shortcut at low tide to get back on the Coastparh. Catch it before the luxury new build holiday development nearby is finished and support these independent little gems....Andy & Fredi

Fantastic pub in a fantastic location. Small car park. Overnight parking is welcome, book in advance and eat in the pub. Food was superb and there was a great selection of beers too

Quirky, and always a welcome stop off on the coastal path.

Love this place. A locals local that exudes welcome

Best selection of delicious ciders around. The best lime and soda I’ve ever tasted. A wonderful atmosphere and so close to the coast path. Menu and food are excellent too. 😊

A fantastic New Year’s Eve spent at Grampus Inn, delicious three courses buffet, wonderful hosts in Bill and the team. Fabulous entertainment by Milarkey - thank you one and all Happy New Year 🥳 🥂❤️

Great place!! Excellent food, great drinks, good service and incredible atmosphere!!

Quaint little pub near to the beach in Lee, some great beer options, food tasty, especially the homemade chips

Always love a beer in the garden when we visit Lee

Absolutely fantastic pub to stop at on the costal walk. Great food, atmosphere, and very friendly staff!

One of the most pleasant pubs I have ever been in. Cosy, warm, friendly, good food and beer.

Lovely cosy atmosphere and friendly barstaff. I had the Goats cheese started and venison steak and thoughrally enjoyed both. Very nice coffee too.

A group of 7 of us had lunch here. Good food, nice ales but most of all, the most helpful, friendly and accommodating staff. A really great pub in a beautiful location 👌

Great little pub food great and staff great and a great little stop of

Nice little pub tucked away in the village if Lee. Traditional with roaring log fires. Food was limited menu but delicious nonetheless friendly staff. Car park around the back. A little difficult, access wise for wheelchair users. Obviously popular with walkers and holidaymakers and apparently has a great open mic on Friday evening.

Google search showed nice place, but when we arrived it had been closed for quite a long time.

Walked here from nearby campsite over summer holiday. We found it to be a fabulous pub with lovely garden, fantastic service and really delicious food. Would love to live nearby to visit more often!

Lovely little pub and pub garden. There is an under cover veranda outside which is lively to sit under. Even on a soggy summer evening.

A very nice, quirky pub. Slow service on the day, but to be expected with the staffing. Food menu is basic, but good quality. Lovely setting, and worth a walk to the beach from here.

Lovely pub with great food and ales accompanied by excellent service. Would highly recommend

Great pint of stout from Cornwall,staff very friendly staff would recommend the cheesy chips lovely,😋🤫👍

Fantastic little pub best value in north Devon we had the ham egg and chips best ham in a long time well done 👏 keep up the great work thank you

Lovely pub to visit after walking from Mortehoe via coastal path. Great food, very welcoming.

Great Gluten Free Food. Highly recommend. Went to open Mike night and the atmosphere was buzzing, warm and friendly. Loved it - highly recommend this wonderful pub 😀

Great place, fantastic Gin, and zero miles beer. Concise menu which delivers both lunch and evening.

Lovely garden. Great location to walk down to the bay from. It is a very small village so limited parking.

Tasty food and reasonable price for a coastal pub in the middle of nowhere!

Good food with nice person and good music.

Incredible place, with incredible people, every Friday there is music night where the microphone is open for anyone who wants to play or sing.

Chips were absolutely delicious, and the vibe was very cosy.

Lovely pub, great food with a lovely atmosphere, were happy to fill up our water bottles for the rest of the coastal walk

Supercool medieval pub with friendly staff and beer garden.

Looks unassuming from the exterior, almost as it's closed. However round the back there is a good beer garden and a period English pub interior. Good pint selection, noticeably short staffed when we visited, however still helpful and thoughtful.

Always good food when we have been here with their own home brewed ales. Nice friendly atmosphere and lovely staff.

Great traditional olde england pub.

Nice pub to stop at on your route along the SW coastal path. Real oldy worldy feel to it, friendly staff and good beer.

Really good ales on tap Great little traditional cosy pub Walking distance down a lovely country footpath. Really lovely evening

Nice local pub. Good atmosphere

Looked nice as we walked past whilst exploring the village. Couldn’t tell if it was open (we had arrived mid-morning) so it would be really useful to have a chalk a-board near the walkway to indicate opening times and offerings.

Hikers oasis on an incredible maze of hiking trails. Super chilled and friendly to humans and dogs. Very lucky to have a sunny day to enjoy the gorgeous garden vibes. Own biter very lovely brewed on site. A must visit.

Nice friendly pub, with welcoming staff.

This was a beautiful organic hidden gem. Rustic and beautiful.

Loved this pub. Great atmosphere, beautiful gardens. The food was really delicious and the staff friendly.

Absolutely lovely pub, good food, friendly staff in a beautiful location with lots of nice walks locally(dog friendly too). Excellent vegetarian options. Have been a couple of times now and plan to return many more. Their own brewed beer is also lovely.

The ultra- steep, narrow, access road down to the pub and village is the only bad thing (to walk or even drive) about this otherwise exemplary public hostelry. A funicular is needed asap Their Beer was especially good!

Friendly staff. Food was amazing. Simple menu executed very well. If you’re in the area, don’t miss it.

We've been going to the Grampus on our trips to North Devon for years, and it has maintained a consistently great standard for more than a decade now. A great selection of beers, reliably good food and a beautiful beer garden make this the best pub for miles around. The menu has been the same for years, but has been shrinking lately, losing a few favourites like the sausage and mash and the Asian greens. While I love the chilli and the sweet potato & peanut stew, I'm wondering if it's past time for a menu shake-up?

Great pub, wonderfully welcoming lunch spot on a day walking between mortehoe and Ilfracombe. The pub brews it's own beer and there is also some very high quality french wine available 👌 and a great landlord who clearly cares a lot about his pub and his village 🙏 go if you get the chance. Lunch was great, lovely food

Pub lunch on Boxing Day. Nice atmosphere, 2 fireplaces, wooden seats, pretty full when arrived but found seats. Toasted venison and ham sandwiches were fine for our simple lunch.

Fabulous pub with Open Mike night on Fridays. Great mixture of folk and rock from local talent. Very relaxed and easy going friendly pub. Kid and dog friendly. Food was excellent, good classics, lovely meatfree options and a delicious venison steak. Very recommended.

The staff are very warm and welcoming, the food great and the pub has a lovely atmosphere.

Popped in for coffee - lovely log fire, warm welcome from staff, cosy atmosphere

Perfect countryside pub! We visit enroute on coastal path walks between Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, its perfect either in the Summer for a home made gin and tonic or in the winter for cosy, old pub vibes and a slice of home made cake and cappuccino. The staff are so friendly and I felt really comfortable relaxing and nursing my baby there.

Lovely place Good family atmosphere

Stumbled upon this pub by chance when we were on holiday and thought we’d entered into a dream! Someone was playing the harp, and there were two armchairs, right by the fire, along with a beautiful chess set we could borrow. Heavenly! Really friendly people, and lovely drinks.

Just popped in for a pint on a wet Thursday evening in November 🍺 Packed! Great atmosphere, great beer, great pub! Love ❤️ this place

Awesome! Best pub ever on a wet morning in November!

Lovely little pub, great staff, great food & great drinks.

Stayed in our motorhome on the car park for the night. Lovely oak beamed pub, cosy and lovely staff.

Didn't go in. No where to sit outside.

Best cheesy chips I've ever had. A really good homebred dark ale. And a lovely relax in the garden surrounded by vines and hops. What more could you ask for

Friendly staff and great ales and a good atmosphere not looking forward to walk back to ilfracombe along coast path.

First visit and very impressed. Had my first Venison steak - Divine‼️

Süßes kleines Restaurant bzw Pub. Ein kleiner Holz Ofen brannte. Sehr gemütlich. Hunde sind willkommen! Speisekarte habe ich nicht angeschaut, da wir nur etwas getrunken haben.

Cool little pub at the end of a coast walk with a sunny garden. Recommend this.

Always a delight to sit in the lovely garden on a sunny day but make sure you get there early as seats rapidly go!

Really nice quaint village pub in Lee North devon, very friendly

A pub with character, great location with a good choice of drinks and food. Pleasant garden and short walk to the beach. Already making plans to return to area.

Atmospheric pub and beer garden nestled amongst dense forest in a small valley. We had the goats cheese dip and venison which was delicious. Good wine selection and board games too. Because it’s quite isolated, this is a destination pub but it’s sleazy to spend hours is such a chilled atmosphere.

Good friendly pub, good food, beer, staff, and doh friendly

What a lovely pub so quaint. Fantastic food and service. Everyone so friendly and welcoming

We enjoyed our time here in this beautiful pub full of character! Food : We really enjoyed our food albeit a basic menu the food was piping hot and super tasty! Drinks : Fantastic selection of drinks on tap and also the pubs own brew which was available on tap and wasn't to bad! Other beers on tap other than their own were all local which is a nice touch and supports local business which I like. Child friendly and provided high chair! Overall : Would definitely come again definitely would highly recommend especially if you want to try new beers and local offerings!

Visited on a gorgeous September day , quiet at first, but soon filled up , Super food and beer at a very reasonable price and served with a smile too , what more can you ask for ? The Rose and Pistachio cake was unbelievable! Great afternoon, thank you 👍

Great food, lovely service, great location. A perfect stop in our walk along the southwest coast path. The Grampus Bitter is delicious!

Lovely ploughman's. A little pricey

Had an OK meal. A few of us with kids turned up. Was an open mike night. While singing started well. The pub then allowed some drunks to song with every other word the f word. Forced to leave. NOT SUITABLE FOR FAMILIES. Spent alot of money here, (bout 15 of us) and ruined the night through not vetting foul mouthed idiots. Won't go back. Avoid if you have children

Fabulous proper pub. Beautiful setting, friendly service, and a great pint. Wish we could have stayed longer to join in the games night.... didn't recognise any of them.

Happy, friendly country pub. Simple menu but very good food. Great real ale brewed onsite. Dog friendly. Vegan friendly. Child friendly.

Their own beers were originally disappointing but today's visit (6/7/23) showed a marked improvement. I actually bought a pint!

Fantastic little find tucked down a little cul-de-sac close to the coast. Selection of drinks was fantastic, staff were inviting and friendly but unfortunately we didn't get to try any of the food!

Nice local pub, with locally grown food. Really great quality served by really great people. Dog friendly both outside on terras and beer garden, as well as inside.

Super schöner Aussenbereich, freitags immer Live-Musik ab 20.00. Essen ist auch gut.

Stopped by for a coffee whilst walking along the coastal path. Visited on a Saturday afternoon. A far better cup of coffee then the usual 'instant' cup served at a pub - and I'm very fussy when it comes to coffee. Felt welcome - as did our dog! Great atmosphere. Lots of fellow walkers and locals alike. Wonderful, friendly service. The food being served looked absolutely fabulous (was so tempted!) and a great range of ales. It's also a bit of a sun trap with an impressive beer garden. Will be returning!

Very friendly staff with excellent food and drinks.

An olde worlde pub with its own micro brewery set 3 mins walk up the valley from Lee Bay car park, run by young staff, brilliantly. Always welcoming and friendly, laid back and easy going, if it was any closer to the beach it would be a surfers paradise. Don't let that put you off, everyone is welcome, walkers, dogs, day trippers, and locals. We've visited on many occasions when walking the Coast Path and it has always been a genuine pleasure. We've not eaten there but the menu and portions look great. If you're in the area give The Grampus a visit, you won't regret it.

Always friendly and welcoming...Great open mic on Friday. Simple and excellent menu.

Lovely old place. Never knew it was here. Well kept beers and ciders. Reasonably easy access. Beautiful under the canopy outside. Bars staff lovely and friendly. Good and efficient. Been coming to ilfracome and surrounding areas for many years and did not know of this little gem. Keep up the good work.

Gorgeous little place, best ham and cheese sarnie think I have ever had, Beaver ale washed it down a treat, highly recommended

Unique, friendly, atmospheric, quiet, with delicious home brewed cider, ales and gin. Perfect after a swim at Lee Bay or a walk from Woolacombe to Ilfracombe

Short walk up from Lee Bay, through a picturesque little village. Good variety of drinks and bar snacks too, food is available and seemed reasonably priced aswell. Nice little find!

Great little pub to visit if you are visiting Lee Bay just a 5 minutes walk along the path from the car park staff. Very friendly and welcoming food is very good 👍

Love this pub! Great food and ale with wonderful staff.

This is a lovely old pub hidden in the tiny beautiful village of Lee also known as Fushia Valley. We had lunch which was excellent. If I had any issue with it at all it was that they didn't do a Cream Tea that would have made it perfect 👌

Lovely beer garden. Really friendly staff, great own brewed beer. Huge amount of good quality cheese with my ploughmans

Excellent place for an afternoon drink

I chose the purpleslaw with a salad they made up (not on menu), I expected just the usual lettuce, cucumber and toms.. but this had that plus gherkins and dressed in such a tasty oil based fresh dressing, beautiful! I'm quite fussy when eating out so I was very impressed!
