The best restaurants in Coly Valley East Devon South West

This place is very much a locals place. Open mike night on when we visited. Not many customers Very old run down and drab. Manager was friendly enough to start but then when we had bought a drink was only interested in his locals. Drinks expensive for the type of place. Ok for one drink but no atmosphere. Wouldn’t visit again

Made a trip to the Kingfisher following a recommendation. I was rather disappointed…… Myself and husband attended yesterday with our 2 small dogs for a quick bite to eat and a drink. We was shown to our table with was crammed in a corner the waitress didn’t even ask if the table was ok which is always something we would expect. There was no mention that dogs could be catered for and we had to use our own water bowl as none supplied given you advertise at the bar there is a dog menu this was no obvious at the table. There was no ice in my soft drink either given it was a warm day too this was rather surprising. Food was rather basic and the chips were dry. Lack-of customer service and attention to detail was missing from this trip. It’s not a place we will be looking to return to.

Quiet when we went in but food was very good and we'd definitely return.

Friends who live locally booked dinner for 7pm on 30th November. When we turned up we were told that the pub wasn’t serving food. The barmaid was very apologetic, but when the owner turned up he was very rude and even tried to make out it was our fault, even though we had received an email confirming our booking. Mistakes can happen, but it’s how you deal with them that counts, and the owner was very unpleasant and aggressive, so we won’t be going back. Luckily the tapas restaurant down the road was open and couldn’t have been more welcoming.

Good traditional pub with good food and service

Had such an awesome experience last time we went, this time I have to say I am disgusted at the way in which my children were gawked at and yelled at by the bistro manager Janelle. If you don’t like kids so much don’t work in an area with an indoor kids play area. None of the children there were doing anything but being kids. And respectful kids at that. You could see the look of disgust in her face if she passed one - like she was stepping over a smelly turd- we won’t be back!!!!
