The Jolie Brise in Teignbridge

Has got expensive, food fair, choice seems more limited.

Went in for a quick drink with my 6ft 2in, bearded, 28yr old son. We were stood together at the bar and he asked for a couple of pints. He was asked for proof of age and didn't have any. Being stood next to him I asked if I could order the alcohol and assured the barmaid that I was 61, my son was 28 and I even showed a picture of my son's driving licence that was on my phone that clearly showed he was born in 1996. The barmaid had the opportunity to refuse service but instead took my money and served me two pints. I said thanks and we sat down in front of the bar on the high stools thinking all sorted, no problems.. Within seconds a young duty manager rushed in and snatched the beer from my son as he was drinking, spilling half of it over the floor. He shouted at my son telling him to get out. I pointed out that it was the barmaid's decision to serve me and she knew one of the pints was for my son. I also pointed out that bar managers really shouldn't be escalating situations and that he had the opportunity to ask for a quiet word instead of acting in such a theatrical manner. At this point I was told to leave and if I didn't, the police would be called. I asked for a refund and he refused. I asked for a copy of my receipt but he would not write on it that he had refused to refund and why. I then left the bar. My point is this. If a bar manager wants to invoke their legal responsibilities after an elderly, disabled, man has already been served alcohol, I do think there is a polite and business like way to do it. I used to run a bar. I also used to be a building society manager. I have never been in trouble with the law. I have never even had a parking fine or speeding ticket. I WAS a regular at the Jolie Brise, keeping myself to myself and never being caught up in any trouble on the premises before. The barmaid should NOT have served me if she still thought there was a problem. I purchased alcohol in good faith and at the very least, the request for a refund should have been honoured. Snatching beer off sober adults who have just entered and then shouting at them to leave after the barmaid had made the decision to serve those adults after a pleasant discussion, is pretty darn stupid. Peaceful, quiet customers deserve some basic respect if there is any problem. I hope the Duty Manager reads this and changes his ways. I remember watching him last year on the bar when he threatened to ban an old guy if he said anything else to him. The old guys crime ??? He told the duty manager who couldn't count after partying all night how much change he was owed. Seriously........

Good food and a large bar area down stairs seating upstairs and a bit outside when the sun shines. Very good.

Like this place good food at reasonable prices.

Great atmosphere and perfect for the family wonderful prices, great food.

Sticky tables, staff need training....badly and generally poorly run. Nice venue though

One of the nicer wetherspoons pubs .. the tables and floors don't seem at all sticky here! It's spacious and attractive .. very welcoming looking (if that makes sense? .. not dark and dreary like some). We don't come here often, but I do like it. There's plenty of coffee machines, outdoor seating, toilets, an open fire .. everything you would expect and it's very close to the shops in Teignmouth so a nice stop off point for breakfast or lunch if you're visiting the area.

I still like this place, its nearly always busy, with normally a good atmosphere. The staff are nice and friendly. The food used to be really good, but sadly its gone a bit downhill. Meals turn up either wrong, or with items missing or even cold. Best thing I can say on that front is, that its cheap... and you never know, you might be lucky! Still room for improvement!... Getting better... Watch this space.

This was a lovely pub for drinking, with a unique style across the walls and ceiling that is brought out particularly by the lights! The blue colouring gives a nice feel too and counter is well presented, where staff were efficient and friendly. I had a pint of Raspberry Cider, relishing the fact they had this option from Devon here and leather seating is really comfortable!

The best Wetherspoons I have been in. Low bar but I've been in a few

Went here for a few drinks when visiting Teignmouth. As far as wetherspoons go this was a pretty good one. Great location quite near to the train station too. The locals were all really friendly and chatty. Was pretty clean and toilets well kept. Didn't have to wait very long to be served (using the app).

They allways leave there butter under heat lamps with your food so when it arrives the butter is not solid. In fact you can pour it onto your toast!

I call in here quite often, sometimes for a quick drink after shopping, occasionally we call for something to eat. It can get very busy here, especially at the weekend, sometimes there is a queue at the bar, the staff are pretty good though. The food is decent and at a good price, and there is usually a good selection of real cider in the box (I would prefer it at room temperature). On a sunny day it is nice to sit outside on the roof terrace.

Visited on Remembrance Sunday very busy but room upstairs and served quickly by the friendly staff

Had a nice breakfast and a drink , great service and cosy inside

Shame that most things on menu had run out,

Brilliant place, super fast service v pleasant waitress, they missed my peas then brought a plateful v impressed nice beer quick service

Had a fantastic Christmas Dinner today Staff are polite and friendly Drinks are great with lots of special offers On most of the time

Good service, and friendly staff

Nice food. Staff were really lazy and didn't clear any plates or glasses even though they we're very busy

Great food had a curry came realy quick and good bar service

Amazing food better then any other wetherspoons I've been too hot food and tasty 🤤 quick service

We had a lovely time here today the service and staff are excellent looking forward to coming back soon,

It's by far the biggest pub in tingmouth and as such it is allways bizzy .

The food's delish, the pub's quiet, and the staff are great.

Lovely, large pub, bistro, cafe. Choose to eat outside at the front, weather was lovely. Plenty of room inside. Rest room stairs, but a lift available for anyone with mobility difficulties.

Nice friendly modern pub - great staff and reasonable prices - Pat & Marg

Lovely staff. Great entertainment.

GRACIE IS THE TOP WORKER IN WEATHER SPOONS I WOULD 100% GO AGAIN SHE MADE MY EXPERIENCE HERE AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE. SHE MAKES NEED A PAY RISE.

It's a spoons. You get what you pay for. Food ok lively atmosphere. Staff friendly. Place could do sprucing up a bit.

Good spoons in a great location. We'll worth a visit.

Smashing venue, toilets were good, plenty of area's to pick where to sit inside and out , food was good , no faults in my eyes 👍

It's a Weatherspoons. Drinks are cheaper than surrounding pubs. The food is fine and there is plenty of choice. The total meal cost can be anywhere between a half and a third of other eateries. There are plenty of tables to choose from. During our short stay in Teignmouth, we ate here twice, so that rather proves the value for money.

This is a large pub with an upstairs area as well. The food and drink are really good value and the staff were also very nice.

12 of us visited for lunch today 7 adults and 5 children and everyone cleared their plates.10/10 for the food,prices and staff.Would highly recommend 👍

This is one of the best witherspoon pubs food was great 👍 staff are very friendly.

A busy lively place. Ordering was easy and food arrived in five minutes. Friendly staff.

Absolutely fabulous meal. We had the fish and chips and it was one of the best meals we’d had in a long time. The barmaid Gracie made our visit extra special with her quick efficient service and pleasant manner. We also noted how she cleared and cleaned the tables quickly and came to check that everything was ok with our meal. She was a credit to Wetherspoons. Well done Gracie for making our visit most enjoyable.

Had holiday in teignmouth went in jolie on the 16th September busy had to sit by wash up room wich I do think out of sight is better We order a steak well done came with chips Not a pea on plate . Spoken to members of staff wich did not sound clear as for washing up in there she said could have had a jacket potato Few peas do not cost much The Steak was not cooked well done very disappointed

We ordered the Gourmet steak with an extra egg.my steak was so full of gristle I cut it out which didn't leave much edible meat .my wife's steak was OK but both were overcooked to medium well compared to what we asked which was medium rare.the eggs were just ruined cooked too much.the jacket potato my wife had was cold.the chips weren't the best the grilled tomato wasnt the peas were hard due to being left under the hot lamp too long.i can say the pepper corn sauce was very good.a young lad did come and asked us if everything was OK.we said no told him the steak wasn't very good and the potato was cold and the egg was ruined.he just said oh and walked off I'm guessing it's beyond his payscale to deal with this situation. I did see a manager filling the coffee machine up at the time young lad didn't tell him what has happened and I had a schedule so didn't have time to stop and chat with him.i am a fan of spoons new breakfast menu is very good curries always fantastic and I love the ramen noodles. Today I paid £35 for 2 steaks I also had some chicken wings which were very good the rest of it was very poor.also the condiment table was full of empty tomato sauce bottles mayonnaise bottles and chilli and garlic sauce

A no frills Wetherspoons, cheap and cheery food. We chose steak night, and the steak was cooked to everyone's desired degree. It's a chain, therefore not to my taste. However, it's a cheaper option than some independent businesses in the town.

Very nice and modern. Lots of outside seating and nets above to stop the seagulls attacking. 2 floors with 2 bars. Nice and big place to hang out and eat, drink etc

Always enjoyed wetherspoons quality and value beers but food has been going downhill for sometime now. They are quite happy to blag food with missing items without even an apology.

Excellent from arrival to departure.Excellent George and great table service and Cleaning.Two Curries with Tim 7.5% discount as he fights Vat on food and hospitality.Thankyou Tim

We had 4 meals between us, 2 being the gourmet steaks. One was tasteless and gristly with a load of fat. The other was so gristly that it was inedible at all. We pointed it out to the waiter, he said sorry, that was all. Not going back.

One of the best 👌brillant spoons very light and airy and lots of space

My friend and I had a lovely afternoon here on the rooftop terrace, really enjoyed it. Staff were all very professional too

Breakfast was virually cold except for the toast. The butter had been put on the toast, so it was liquid when I came to put it on the toast.

Great place. Beautiful weather, so sat out on the balcony. James went above and beyond, running up and down the stairs to get us drinks, which they only had downstairs.

Fantastic wetherspoons (I should know, I've been to loads) lovely rooftop seating in the sunshine and James was amazing running up and downstairs all afternoon to get me some red dragon cider 10/10

This was the best wetherspoons pub iv ever seen 👌 cleanliness atmosphere balcony roof area toilets how big it was ..fabulous place

Conveniently near the train station. Didn't eat there but we were able to sit outside upstairs as it was a lovely evening. The atmosphere was lovely, staff are friendly. Cocktails are scummy. Will be back.

Nice and relaxing without being to busy at the dinnertime. Nice choice of foods and drinks. Nice and chilled had a good time

Nice place ,good food,great staff, and a nice cool pint .

What a lovely place the food is so nice and the staff is so nice I had my meals there every night while i was staying in the area I would recommend it

Tables were filthy but the drinks are cheap

Superb service Nice meal & staff

Unbeatable value. Plenty of room. Food promptly delivered with app ordering. Bottomless hot drinks. I had the standard eight ounce sirloin. It was, frankly, pretty tough, but it tasted good, and you get a deal on it on Steak Club days. As with other Wetherspoons, with a stroke of genius, they do not annoy diners with background music. Recommended for budget dining. No need to book.

Always a great place to start in Teignmouth.

Not bad for a spoons. Did not eat here just stopped for drinks. Plenty of choice for seating outside on a Sunny afternoon.

Queue at bar was rather lengthy. Could do with a few more bar staff. Waitress service was good and food was average

Fabulous place plenty of seating inside and out.

Nice, busy pub. Great atmosphere and quick service with the food

Good value for money. Has a nice terrace area.

Stayed in Teignmouth for a week. Visited the Jolie Brise a few times and wasn’t disappointed. Staff were great, providing a warm w clone and quick service, particularly with the food Meals were great Clean venue and nicely presented. Would definitely recommend to this venue

Great harbourside spot for a pint and a burger. Service was excellent and a really relaxing atmosphere as you look out into the harbour. Great 👍

What a beautiful place good food nice cold drinks good service 👌 at a very good price.

Standard spoons so good beer selection and good value food

Instructions given to waitress were not adhered to.

Food brilliant, staff ok considering they got a right miserable git of a manager controlling them with his designer stubble.

Didn't have all the drinks advertised at the bar

Great place to sit in the sunshine and have a nice beer after a 8mile walk 🌞😎🍺

Really liked this place as it was good value for money. The food arrived quickly once we could get a signal on the app. This seems to be a common problem with Weatherspoons. We would order at the bar but there is always a long queue and people get fractious with you if they think you are trying to jump ahead. One offer of advice for all Weatherspoons establishments: please help the customers to help you at busy times by leaving a couple of cleaning stations to hand so that we can clear dirty plates and glasses etc when we sit down. I'm know people wouldn't mind as I have asked amongst some friends of mine. Leave a few antibacterial wipes there as as well and we can sit at a clean table with confidence. Just a thought ...

Ok can get busy every time we go there my partner has to take a drink back as a horrible taste but to be fair they always change it

Quite a nice spoons, downstairs always busy with a mix of locals and visitors, upstairs nice and usually quieter, food is usual Spoons, but always seems a little better than others, staff have always been excellent.

Great coffee stop, very spacious with an upstairs area empty. It even has nice outdoor areas to sit..

The balcony was lovely. HOWEVER, due to the smoking area being too close to the non smoking area, we had to go inside. I am a person with asthma. The staff were very helpful as I also suffer with bad anxiety. Thank you to the team

Due to lack of staff, food cold, service slow. Not surprising when you pay just above minimum wage. Spoons get your act together. CLUELESS. Two years on, no change, they just don't care. OMG what a awful business.

Visited on airshow day and so was very busy but service was excellent. Food was well cooked, arrived quickly and staff very friendly. We'll done Jolie Brise!

Very clean, great breakfast and staff really nice...

Smart for a spoons, lovely outside roof terrace, even the toilet is smart

Food was hot, well presented and value for money. The staff were chatty and friendly. It was immaculate all over, even the coffee machines were gleaming.

Nice staff, clean & great pricing...👍

Very good, enjoyed a bite to eat and couple of drinks with friends here. Thank you for an enjoyable time.

Nice place service very good , but food was only luke warm plus I thought portion control ws very poor I had the large mix grill there wasnt even a dozen chips on the plate and the grilled tomatoe was stone cold it wa £17 with a drink which I don't hiink was good value

Big, lively pub near promenade. Outside seating in large roof garden. Near instant service via app. Usual good food.

Nice pint of real ale and breakfast.

Great place to eat and drink, easy to find.

Large 'Spoons' for the area served. Handy for the rail station.

We sat outside in the sun enjoying the plant Like the netting great idea, saw seagulls with no fear of having to share our lunch with them.

Great place for a bite to eat or a drink. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is friendly too.

Lovely bright seating area on the upper floor with an outdoor terrace area if the weather is fair. Suitable for families - been here a few times with children for lunch and found everything pleasant. Can order everything from the app at your table. Good food, good value.

Great place.nice room.good layout.had breakfast and lunch there.good value for money.had wraps for lunch really nice.

Really lovely WSPN, beguiling and very attractive upon arrival. Outside area was cool, I missed the fabulous outdoor terrace upstairs, apparently a gem for locals. As always, a hike to the loo but we'll maintained. Very very quiet, 4 on a Sunday afternoon, very quiet. Sat outside, went to order, 1 bar person. Got food, very disappointed. Ordered boneless basket and a chicken jalfrezi. Curry was tepid, food was thrown onto the plate, the garlic bread was cold and dripping with warm butter. I went in to ask for it to be warmed, a queue at the bar meant I wasn't going to wait. Chicken basket was OK. Warm, my partner ate non of the chips, re heated sh** he called it. Come on guys, gorgeous venue, probably rely on local income, must do better I'm afraid.

Cheap and cheerful like many Wetherspoon pubs. Good for a few cheap drinks at the start of an evening

The Jolly Rose Wetherspoons in Teignmouth is a welcoming pub with a charming nautical decor and cozy seating. The food is consistently good, offering a variety of traditional and contemporary dishes at very reasonable prices. The drink selection is impressive, featuring local ales and a wide range of spirits. The service is friendly and efficient, even during busy times. Located near the seafront, it's a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal or drink. Overall, The Jolly Rose provides excellent value and a pleasant atmosphere, making it a top choice in Teignmouth.

Lovely rooftop terrace area and well located

Excellent having another visit Tomorrow

Upscale Spoons: bright and modern. Large indoor seating area and also has patio and limited pavement tables too. Bar service is great, and food delivery to table is quick and efficient. Their steaks are cooked to order and great value. Not just a pub but a social meeting place with atmosphere. Gets busy very quickly.

Used the app. Drinks are food were fast and good.
