Today’s visit was a 5. Guinness was poured expertly. Although last nights visit. Hmm. Asked for a single JD he poured a double. Then proceeded to charge us £11.90 For an “asked” single JD & coke a capri sun and a Guinness. Tonight we got charged £6.90 for 2 Guinness’s. Stark difference. Moral of this story don’t get served by the old bloke with no neck.

Fairly local to us. Food was tasty and good value for money. Gentleman behind the bar was very pleasant. Carparking could be a bit if an issue as very small carpark, but parking on the street possible.

Really great atmosphere,,got multi screens to watch sport, staff were happy to turn one of the screens to the sport I wanted to watch while I was in there. Only thing didn't like was when ordering a specific short felt it was really expensive as if I had another it would have been cheaper to buy a bottle from the local tesco.

Stumbled on this pub while in Devon for short break. Great pub. Nice atmosphere. Lovely pint of doom bar, cheap as chips. Locals seem friendly. Dog friendly as well. Well worth a visit.

Tracey and Ray who run the pub, are not only great hosts, they also do fundraising for SSAFA and donated food and goodies for 25 families at Easter. They have a bingo night, raffels and a meat draw, not forgetting the fun duck or camel race. There is a lot of entertainment here, you won't be disappointed. Peace ✌️❤️

I moved here nearly a week ago and went in here for a few drinks. I had a warm welcome off the landlord, shown me to my table and served me straight away. Friendly atmosphere, Ray and Tracey were absolutely amazing along with all their staff! Quick service, always served with a smile and made conversation which was lovely after being new to the area!! This will definitely be the pub I go to from now on! Definitely would recommend on going there!

I never post anything on Facebook but I have to say that this establishment was a good place. Now however is a different matter. I've been drinking in the pub for about 18 years. I had an accident 7 years ago due to to this i am now disabled and have walking issues. I was out with a friend and I went in for a beer and as soon as I got to the bar the manager told me to leave without telling me why and rudely. I have travelled round the world been on 4 contents been to 8 different countries over 30 different places in the world. And I have never had to deal with discrimination in all my travels. I suggest that till there is a different matter don't go in.

Went to watch the football with family, arrived and abused by the landlord Dave for asking to put the game on the many TVs there. Later on guests constantly bombarded by Dave the barman about his 20 person ‘brawl’ in the pub the night before. Afterwards we were lucky enough to enjoy Dave’s racist abuse at customers and players on TV, in which he responded as ‘it’s my pub’. Run by the scum of the earth so recommend to avoid this place at all costs. Run by a racist, rubbish beers, cash only and a dangerous place to go.

Waitress did her job, but a smile wouldn’t have gone a miss, seemed like she didn’t like her job or indeed may not be in the right career of hospitality. A hostess should be warm and welcoming. A can of coke with the glass would have been nice instead of as I witnessed a can shared between two different tables.. the food……. Dirty fries or rather swimming in a puddle of oil fries….. never have I ever seen so much oil I tipped it all out on to plate and napkins soaked it up! Awful will not be again!

We booked an overnight stay at the Sandy Cove hotel and evening meal at the Seacliff restaurant within. Bookings were made online, which was simple, and replies were received. We also received a call from the restaurant enquiring if there were any particular dietary requirements. The meal was an eight course tasting menu, which differed very slightly from the online sample menu, but in our opinion, it was better featuring some of our favourite ingredients. Each course was well presented, introduced by a very attentive waitress, and very enjoyable with some amazing flavours and combinations. The chef took time to introduce himself after the meal, and we had the pleasure of complementing him on a well-balanced menu. The wine list is quite extensive to suit most if not all tastes. Many thanks for a very enjoyable meal and overnight stay.

I would highly recommend. With 7 in our party nothing was an issue. All meals came out all together which was great. The young lads ran the bar were really welcoming and accommodating. The food both starters and main was to a really high standard absolutely delicious and the portion sizes was fabulous if not a little to big! Compliments to all staff. Thanks for a great service and we will return 5** many thanks 😊
