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.

wow what a find, stopped on way to drop parents to The Victoria Hotel for their Diamond anniversary . Staff were friendly welcoming. food was outstanding didn't have the carvery but will def be back to try. Great parking easy to find would recommend and we as a family will definitely be returning to try the famous carvery. Nice to find a good ole pub with friendly happy staff and great food for everyone . Thank you for a lovely start to a couple of special days celebrating

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.

Eaten here a couple of times.Food and drink very good,and most staff very helpful and friendly..A nice pub..However ,one particular barman lets the place down.He is rude ,arrogant and unhelpful. He really isn't bothered weather he serves you or not..Our last occasion we walked out without ordering food.If i were the Landlord i would have a serious word with Mike to put him straight regarding his attitude. Apparently,according to the locals he is always this way..Not good.We are reluctant to return when he is on shift.Such a shame .Neil Jones Kidderminster ..

Great carvery for Sunday lunch. Good value. Good table service for drinks, desserts etc.

Had a fishcake and chips from bloaters , really was excellent home made fishcake, ,,also my brother loved his cod Best fishcake I've ever had ✔️✔️

So friendly and welcome our dog with water and treats. He loved it too

I work at Sidmouth International School and the Balfour Arms were happy to accommodate 3 large group bookings for us in September and October for our students. The feedback from the students was great and they really enjoyed themselves. Thanks so much to everyone at the Balfour Arms for your hospitality!

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 regular customer for the sourdough bread baked here, went in today to find the sourdough loaves are smaller and have gone up from £4.50 to £5.00. The shop will not even slice them for you. Real shame as it was only just affordable before and bought as a treat shall not be buying it again. Very disappointing for a local business.

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.

Nice pub decent range of beer my favourite place in the valley

Had the last two nights here including breakfast and evening meal. I couldn't fault it. Food very good and staff excellent. Sometimes when you travel alone the service you receive drops a little, not here all the staff were attentive and friendly with a great atmosphere fully deserves five stars!
