The Malt House in East Devon

Place is shut and looks to have been since December 2023. Christmas decorations still up.

Great food but flipping freezing! Feel sorry for the staff!

The Burger was the driest chicken burger i've ever had, even with the realish it was dry. Bland food, more flavour in Wetherspoons burger and that saying something. The chicken fillet was to big for the bun and just looked a mess. Staff were polite and helpful.

Pub is now shut down as at 10th March 2024 !

Great chicken burger in this pub,sorry to see it close.had great times there.

Such a shame the pub had to close, visited 3 times in 2 days and the service was incredible considering the staff were aware of losing their jobs Good luck to all of the staff now looking for employment !

Excellent food apart from brioche bun fell apart (obviously too shall fir chicken burger),lack of fresh onions,and only a few chips in small dish for the price,plus staff keit changing who came up to us asking things,maybe was boredom but apart from that very good

Not much open for food in Seaton mid December on a Sunday but we'd eaten in here before, and enjoyed it, so thought we'd try again. All table service, which was friendly and efficient. Nice choice of real ales and cider and a good menu. We both opted for the beef burger and added bacon and cheese. It came with lovely chunky chips and a salsa and was well cooked, hot and delicious. Would definitely recommend and eat there again when in Seaton.

Nice evening pop in for a couple of drinks,no food.

Premises very cold smelt of strong detergent Sunday lunch cold and staff abrupt not all staff never will go there again its gone right down hill

Food was good. Good table service.

Traditional pub in centre of town. Good beer, varied menu to suit all, clean, dog friendly. Some seating outside.

An excellent Seaton pub. Good food and beer. Great service from friendly bar staff.

The food was good but disappointed in the service. Seems at the moment having many issues with the pub but we were given a dirty cup in which did get changed. Seemed a little slow service side and was an ok atmosphere. Was ok value for money.

Exposed beams (mind your head) in an old tavern atmosphere. Friendly service from staff and food choices from vegan through vegetarian to meat dishes. Great place to eat and relax with friends and family.

Visited here whilst staying at Seaton, not many places available to eat at, but we loved the food here so much we visited both nights of our stay. Proper home cooked food, friendly staff & a nice place. Recommend :)

Good clean food Shame it stopped serving at 7pm

Good clean food Bit of a shame it stops serving at 7pm

We were looking for a family friendly pub for an early evening dinner. This place was awesome. Kid friendly and fresh, well cooked pub grub. My daughter had a freshly cooked dinner and the staff were accommodating for children. Great selection of draft beers and a calm atmosphere.

Just had delicious cod and chips, generous portions, freshly cooked and good service. Nice big dog friendly pub with plenty of seating.

Stopped for drink, lovely place and lovely staff.

Lovely meal but it was a little cold in the restaurant. Service was very good.

Lovely food great menu. Friendly staff. Nice place to eat at a reasonable price, good portion size.

The chef is great! Good food, service and music! Thanks

Had a very enjoyable Sunday roast here this afternoon, Kitchen was open until 3. We did not have a reservation and welcomed in @ 2:45.

Check this pub out what a massive turn around busy thriving food out of this world amazing efficient attentive staff well done to owners it's nice to see life back in this pub again congratulations to all who work here thumbs up from me

Mo coffee as machine broke Hand dryer in toilet broken, nothing to dry hands with

Just what we needed. Service second to none, food excellent 👌 highly recommend 👌

Very nice (and good value food). Excellent service...

Great food and excellent service.

We had a day out near Seaton and stopped here for tea with the 6 year old and dog. Made to feel very welcome and service was friendly and quick. My partner had Lambshank, I had hake fillet and the nipper had sausage, chips and beans. Myself and partner had raspberry and chocolate cheesecake and little one had strawberry, chocolate and vanilla ice-cream. We had a pint of cider, pint of lemonade and pint of lime and soda - £75 including tip. I would definitely recommend if you want to drop in to a dog pub friendly pub for a great menu and better than pub grub and lovely staff. It looks like they might be doing some work on the outside and the inside could do with a little modernising, but it was definitely worth the stop.

Nice warm and friendly pub. Great food

The salmon fillet dish awesome. Excellent service. Well recommend.

Really nice friendly pub food excellent

Food good staff friendly Free parking in nearby streets or on the sea front after 6 pm .It's one of the few places open on a Monday night

Stopped over at Seaton on Monday night and decided to give this place a go. Initial impression was good. The place was clean and the staff friendly. My husband decided to have the pork, I had the hake, and my daughter had the spaghetti bolognaise. My husband said the pork was just “ok” and fairly tasteless, which isn’t what you expect for nearly £20 a plate. My daughters serving of spaghetti bolognaise was minuscule and had practically no meat on it. She couldn’t finish it because she said it didn’t taste nice. My hake was cold, slimy and drenched in pepper. The dauphinois and cauliflower cheese (both things I love) had an odd taste, the sauce was watery. Generally the whole thing reminded me of those microwave bags containing fish and parcels sauce and left me with a horrible taste that I’ve been trying in vain to get rid of all evening. Everything served looked very nice but it didn’t have the taste or fineness to back up the price tag. Would not eat here again.

Friendly, helpful staff. Nice atmosphere

Would have been better if the owners of dogs and children taught them some manners!!

Really great staff, pub looks like it's having a bit of an upgrade but doesn't interfere with anything. Food was very good, well cooked and presented. Would recommend. Thanks for good evening!

Went there last week for a birthday celebration 🎂,the food was delicious 😋 very generous portions. Staff are so nice & friendly. Great service. we can't wait to go again when we are down Seaton. Highly recommended 👌

Had a lovely meal with my partner here. Welcoming staff, tasty food and nice beer too.

We didn't eat here, just had drinks, but we really enjoyed being there. The staff were all lovely and worked so hard. Service was spot on. 👌

Good pub grub, excellent staff, served quickly and with care. Thank you, guys!

Stopped here for lunch without booking - 6 of us and a dog. Made very welcome and were seated immediately. Couldn't fault the service and the food was great. Would recommend.

Four of us tonight, all had the hake. Absolutely delicious. The lady that served us was very friendly and great fun. We had a great evening. Definitely recommend it.

Just dropped in for a drink whilst visiting Seaton off the tramway. Nice pint of Otter and Orchard Thieves cider. Did not eat so can't comment.

Great evening great food friendly staff

Had a pleasant meal here with family. Would recommend

Unfortunately a soleless pub stuck in the time of Covid restrictions. Door wide open with a cold breeze, met at the entrance by staff informing us of table service only. Quiet pub with nobody at the bar. Request to hand sanitise on the sandwich board outside, yet water in toilets was not running hot and hand drier not working. A pub in a prime location that is now void of character.

Good food nicely cooked. The only place open on Monday evening ( but closed Tuesday)

An excellent visit. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Food was way above average. Well cooked and presented. Also a lovely response to our rescue dog. He was made as welcome as us xx

Stayed at Seaton overnight on Sunday evening. The Malt House was one of the very few pubs or restaurants open. We had a lovely meal here. Food was tasty and well presented. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly. There was a steady flow of customers.

Excellent. Staff were enthusiastic and very helpful. I had the cod and chips. There was so much I needed a bigger plate ! I left my wallet at my hotel. I ran back to get it ! 10/10

Do not judge it by its scaffolded interior - inside offers superior pub grub and a very pleasant and able bar restaurant team. A very nice evening- a side of cauliflower cheese recommended- where appropriate.

Excellent Sunday roast. Nice atmosphere

Good service, guinness could have been better

Great food, friendly service and close to the beach. Recommended the panko chicken burger 🔥

We come to The Malt House every year, sometimes twice a year. Always lovely service, and good food.

Needed a dog friendly pub for meeting relatives for lunch and this proved to be the answer. Lovely food, with obliging and helpful staff.

We popped in here as the other place we were planning to go to was closed for the day. The food here was very nice, generous portions and the staff were friendly and courteous. The Guinness was very good also. Dog-friendly. Would recommend and happily come here again.

Such a lovely place, food and service were amazing, would highly recommend - special mention to the 2 male waiters who made our visit really enjoyable, my friend enjoyed the mandolrian chat with one and the other whose first day it was at the bar was a diamond.

Friendly pub and restaurant. Clean,wooden tables, and olden photos on the wall. Cozy corner tables. Friendly staff members. Fresh food - fish and chips, and Sunday roast dinner. Local ice cream for pudding. Clean toilets. Good for family - plenty of space for strollers

Not bad, decent prices and food was nice, steak was a little on the chewy side, but overall can't complain too much.

Great atmosphere, good friendly staff

It was okay, just a pit stop for a pint. 😁👍

Amazing food at decent prices. We always go here for our monthly meal out. Would highly recommend snyone visiting if you're in seaton. 👌

Great food and very quick service.

First time visit, great, happy, helpful, friendly staff. Definitely will be visiting again when in Seaton and would reccommend to anyone. Definitely a place to try for some nice good value for money food.

Brilliant as always love the thia soup , try it x

Beautiful clean warm place to relax. Friendly staff. Nice selection of drinks.

We booked a table for 12.30pm for 7 adults it was January and we got caught in a torrential downpour so headed for the pub 7 minutes before 12 to be told by the barman they don't open until 12 and he wouldn't let us in we had to wait in the rain. I understand he couldn't serve us until 12.00 however considering the time and the weather, it wouldn't have done any harm for us to sit quietly at our table in the warm until we could be served, we were wet and cold with two elderly relatives, anyway the food was nice, the waiting staff were great, the barman/manager was unfriendly, had no customer service and not very welcoming considering the hideous weather!!

Not very cosy in winter. Lacks atmosphere during the day. Not warm.

Just had a Sunday roast here. Amazing food and lovely staff. A great start to 2023.

Lovely pub maybe to busy for their own good on Boxing Day. But doing their best.

Went on Friday night couldn't fault the food staff were very professional but the room was soo cold we would have stayed longer but had to go home to warm up. Please turn the heating on.

December 16th 2022, the coldest pud ever. They refused to put the heating on and other people were eating in coats woolly hats and scarves. I refused to eat in such an unpleasant environment.

Yeah, enjoyed this place. It did take a while though for someone to come and clean away the empty glasses that were on the table when we sat down. We are not lazy by the way, we would have moved them ourselves, if not already told that someone would be along in a minute. Still, wouldn't put me ofd going back again, probably just really busy and someone forgot.

Really nice. Food was quick and nice. IPA was spot on, as was the service. Lovely pub.

Quiet and cosy feel to it. Only had a drink but staff friendly

Nice food, nice pub, dog friendly

Food fab ,water driping through the roof not so good

Excellent place. Staff were very friendly and went the extra mile to make us all feel welcome

Visited Seaton after travelling down from Colyton on the tramway. We were wandering through the town and saw the Malt Housr. Being lunchtime and hungry decided to give it a go. Boy we were not disappointed. Staff were friendly and the food was great and a good price. I don't normally give 5 stars but this place was a gem. Definitely recommend if your in Seaton and want good food

Service dreadful x The lad behind the bar could get the drinks order correct x even though it was on the till x bad attitude x needs some coaching or dismissing x checked their website before we went to see that they were cooking food all day day as it was about 4 p.m. x The board outside said that they serve food all day x They don't x We were a party of 6 and found it to be a dreadful experience x Will not be going back and certainly will not recommend

As good as normal food cooked well and an affordable price

Good staff nice and clean and nice cider

Great pub!...Reasonably priced ale and excellent quality food..Only let down was that they were shut last Tuesday??. Our Boxer dog Oscar enjoyed it too.

Friendly staff good food served hot not a lot of choise but covers what most people ask for only one mark against on bottled beer Peroni, Carona etc

Great atmosphere and helpful staff, food also excellent. Highly recommended.

My husband had the lasagne and said it was lovely. I had the steak which was really nice, chips not so good, need to be cooked more. But very friendly staff and nice atmosphere

We spent a while looking for somewhere to eat lunch in Seaton, but many places were closed and some had finished serving soon after 2pm. The Malt House seemed inviting and was still serving so we ate an enjoyable snack lunch which was good quality served promptly (allowing time for fresh cooked produce) and presented with a smile. Exactly what we needed.

Very good food and dog friendly .

The food is delicious, can't fault it. Service is good too

This was a pleasant find! There was gluten free options and the food was absolutely amazing. Such a nice surprise as when you walk in it is quite dark but the staff are friendly and the food is great. Would definitely return

Choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Good range of food at reasonable prices. Staff friendly.

I have been meaning to visit the Malt house for a while now as many of my holiday guests have enquired as to what the food is like So I visited with my family And sadly I would definitely be telling my guests to avoid at all costs I ordered the hunters chicken and it comes with peas, but I asked for a side salad instead but they brought it out with peas The side salad I had asked for took ages to come out I was half way through my meal when it did The chicken was chewy hardly any bbq sauce or cheese and the chunky chips were not 100% cooked and tasted like powder in your mouth The kids meals all came out with beans We were not asked if we wanted beans or given the option to maybe have peas or salad or even on its own 2 of children hated beans so the food on there plate that had bean in the sauce in they could not eat, they were so hungry we decided to not change the meals but to be honest they did not touch the powder chips either, So just had one sausage each and some of my side salad My youngest daughter choose spaghetti bolognaise we asked for some cheese on top When it arrived it was a tiny portion and about 3 or 4 bits of grated cheese that cost an extra £1.50 So her meal that ended up costing £7.95 Took her about 4 bites to eat and left her still so hungry I had to go to the chip shop afterwards we will never be returning and will definitely not be recommending to my guests

Good pub grub in Central location

Had a lovely family meal. Food was tasty with a good vegan / vegetarian options. Staff really friendly and helpful.

Excellent food, beer and service.

Amazing roast dinner today, one of the best we've had in a long time... The gravy was the tastiest we've had! 6 of us arrived around 1.30, we hadn't booked. We asked if there were any tables free. They said we could squeeze on to a smaller table, then as it happened a larger one came free so the staff asked if we wanted to move. The staff couldn't do enough for us. They were polite, honest and very friendly. The food was fantastic, we will definitely visit on a Sunday again! Thank you!
