The best restaurants in Sidmouth Sidford East Devon South West

Excellent customer service and delicious cookies and cupcakes! Will be ordering more from them again!

Fantastic takeaway, delicious food and friendly service. Shawarmas were really flavoursome, and the sides were equally good. Would recommend to any street food lovers out there.

Visited on Valentines Day. After travelling just a little over two hours in awful conditions, we arrived at The Bowd just after 8pm. We checked the food serving times and the website said it finishes at 8:30. We entered and asked the young barman if we could still have some food. He came back from checking in the kitchen followed by an older lady (we now know this is the landlady Carol!) She was so lovely and said it was absolutely fine for food and showed us to a small corner table next to a huge open fireplace. We ordered 2 burgers both with added cheese and bacon and a portion of onion rings. The food came out in a timely manner and I must say the burger was amazing! So tasty and very filling! A generous amount of chips accompanied the burger with a lovely small salad & a pot of coleslaw. It was one of the best pub burgers myself and my husband had ever had. We were told after our plates weee cleared that we were able to order dessert so we ordered a mango cheesecake and an apple crumble with custard. Both pleasant desserts. It was then getting on towards 9:30 when Carol said that she was going home but we were not to rush as the remaining staff would be busy cleaning etc. We didn’t want to outstay our welcome so finished our drinks and left. Carol was so friendly and accommodating for myself and husband. We will most definitely be visiting for food again when we’re next in Sidmouth.

Had a wonderful anniversary dinner at the SaltyMonk. Food was exceptional - we had the 8 course taster menu which they were happy adapt to our preference. Service was spot on and so friendly. Have eaten at some top restaurants and this is right up there.

My navy mate and me came for a sports day out watching rugby and VILLA V SPURS in the cup . Wonderful atmosphere great display of cask ale. We were made very welcome and the only downside was NO Food due to the size of the bar lounge area. It's a great pub and shall come again when next in the area. WELL DONE to a lovely lady with long blond haie

It would be difficult to find another establishment to better the Bowd we enjoyed the carvery and fish and chips which were best I've ever had.

I enjoyed the chips and batter but the food was horrendously greasy. To the point it was dripping through the bag and hardening on the sides of the box. Please find a way to reduce the amount of grease as it makes the food extremely difficult to eat and got the inside of my car covered.

This was a funeral wake. The food and service were excellent, no one rushing us to leave the premises, really relaxed atmosphere.

Con artists with a long record of scams going by these reviews. Paid £60 back in June 2024. For an event that that was cancelled the day before the actual event. Multiple promises of repayment, 2 visits and still no refund mid feb 2025. Despicable way to run a business.

Great venue for lunch, always busy, good food at reasonable prices. Until today, prices have risen, the place was half empty, the food still good but not exceptional so why the price hike? My breaded plaice with chips, peas and tartare sauce was £16.99! It was nice enough, not outstanding and available elsewhere in Sidmouth for a lot less. If they want more profit and less customers I think this approach will work, we will think twice before returning as there are many other places to eat locally that offer better value for similar food.

A shock to see bakery staff picking up and cuddling a dog in the shop. It is bad enough that dogs are allowed in food shops but holding a dog whilst in their aprons and near all the bakery items was unhygienic.

Delicious coffee, at an excellent price (£2.90). (There were even yummy-looking gluten-free cakes available - but I resisted!) Really friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Brilliant it's still a pub for locals.Excellent staff

We come in for drink and we was treated with some live music at the blue ball it was fantastic Tim young was on brilliant show
