The best restaurants in Woodbury and Lympstone East Devon South West

Locals on a walk looking for a cuppa If I was to sum up our visit today in one word it would be…. Ansum ( Devon for lovey or proper job for those who are not from these parts. ) Excellent cheese scone, dog friendly, spotlessly clean and happy staff. We will be back.

Recommended here by friends in the H&C trade. Modest late September visit just before end of Season. Lovely Staff, Menu, Service and Atmos. Highly recommended.

We celebrated our daughter's 5th birthday party today at Amazing Grazing. It was incredible- marquee set up with tables; smaller marquee with tuff trays of games; whole paddock with tonnes of activities from building to tyre rolling to a miniature flower shop; goat, pig and alpaca supervised feeding. Superb from start to finish. Fantastic value for money and Taro was so helpful right from booking to the day itself making sure it was the best experience for our little girl and her friends.

Great food and a friendly team. Still managing great service with effective Covid controls in place.

Stayed at the castle brake holiday park visited for a meal one day ,I would say definitely a visit everything about this place is amazing food staff service the lot we enjoyed it here and booked again the next nite .can't down fault at all ,if u do have a dog u will be seated in the bar area and not the restaurant, but we found that just as great ,will be going bavk again in June when we are out this way thank you for ur great services ..Carl saunders .

Gorgeous spot for a delicious roast, cracking crackling aplenty.

We returned here for the umpteenth year running for the first night of our holiday and will continue to do so as it doesn't disappoint. Our family group now includes two infants under 2, but this doesn't faze the staff who made all of us welcome as always. The Old Alley Restaurant is ideal for families/groups, being spacious and with easy access to facilities. All the meals were greatly enjoyed, as was the draft beer. They also make a great Irish coffee.

Sunday lunchtime in March turned up without a reservation but they were happy to take us in answered all our questions and even had the time to chat even though it was busy. The carvery was absolutely delicious with lots of vegetable choice. We then moved to the bar to enjoy a pint whilst the rugby with friendly locals. The pub was extremely clean too with pleasant toilets.

Had the fish and chips and it was awful there was more skin and batter than there was fish, and the chips were like they were re-heated from earlier 😡

Great food and service. Portions are very generous! It's our 'go-to' place when we have people to stay and prices are what you would expect so no shocks when you look at the menu.

This hotel sells itself as charming and old-world. It's actually drab and dismal. My room was like a student hostel but worse, because nothing worked. The shower was broken, with missing bits that made it hard to use. The top of the cold tap in the basin was missing. The wifi didn't work. The radiator didn't work. Fixed to the wall was an unworking, broken hairdrier. Also fixed to the wall, and hanging down by its flex, was the abandoned hotplate for an electric kettle, minus the kettle. Breakfast was poor and mean (the hotel had clearly put much thought into how it could provide as a little as possible for the price - which was extra to the room charge). And the final straw was the morning I left. Arrangements had been made for a late checkout at 1pm (which cost more). I went out, returning at 12.15pm to find all my things had been removed from the room. The hotel has since agreed to refund the cost of my stay to the Exeter-based festival that was paying for it. But this doesn't take away from the fact that the place is a miserable dump. And the festival tells me it will never use the White Hart again.

Visited this evening with hubby. Usually go once a week but have been 3 times in past 2 weeks. What can I say ??? Excellent food and service. Thank you to Kim and all the staff. Carvery outstanding. Choice of 3 meats, beef , turkey and gammon and cooked to perfection. Good choice of veggies and proper thick , beef, meaty gravy. Special thanks to Mike ( 2nd chef ) for the delicious choccy brownie. Was to die for and hubby enjoyed the apple and rhubarb crumble. Fantastic kitchen staff all round with special thanks to carver Callum. Can highly recommend. Having visited with family last week can also vouch for meals other than carvery. Thank you all . You have done yourselves proud x x Would just like to add about desserts. My hubby highly recommends the fruit crumbles and I myself either Mikes homemade brownie or the honeycombs cheesecake. Absolutely delicious x x

Very quiet Wednesday night ruined for them by 13 drunk blokes. In fairness we did sort of behave and the landlady looked after us really well

Massive let down, we visited this time last year and the Roast Dinner was incredible followed by a top tier Sticky toffee pudding. Manager was also brilliant, attentive and rather funny. Returned today with high expectations, Massive let down. Completely different roast which was nowhere near the previous standard, Potatoes were rubbish, vegetables Bland and biggest let down of them all, the cauliflower cheese was completely different and utterly rubbish. My guess would be there's been a change of staff and change of Chef, They've gone cheap and it shows massively. A friend visited 2 weeks ago on our recommendation, he was also massively underwhelmed which highlights unfortunately it wasn't just a bad day at the office. I've given a 2 star because there was enough food to fill us up and and it was warm. Other than that Rubbish!

Cheap ingredients, bland and well overpriced. What the hell happened to the old style pizzas with the decent bacon etc? Bloody awful. I never had a problem with you guys for many many years. Always ordered from you every since I was young. Even my parents ordered from you. I will not be ordering from you again!
