The best restaurants in East Devon South West

Very, very good! What a find! Turned up without a booking but was seated immediately. Friendly staff and the "best burger I've ever eaten" according to another member of our party. Going to an independent restaurant can sometimes be a gamble but this one absolutely paid off. Clean bathrooms, friendly and attentive service and great food. An absolute winner.

Good breakfast, good service, reasonable price. Very happy that it was open early and close to where we stayed. Would eat there again.

Spent a pleasant hour in a quiet pub whilst charging the car. Can't comment on the food because we were to early for lunch.

Another perfect visit to Aby's. It's our go to place in Exmouth for very good reasons. The owners and staff are fabulously friendly and hospitable and the food and beverages are excellent. In our opinion the best place in Devon, not just Exmouth. And Devon has some lovely eateries!

Fabulous pub with great garden. We’ve been a couple of times for a drink and something to eat from one of the food trucks (they are not doing food from the kitchen yet!) pub looks great - everyone super friendly - what’s not to like !! Looking forward to seeing what food trucks popping up in September !! Hilary and Chris

The quality of food here is far superior to any other cafe I have visited. Particularly for breakfast. This makes it exceptional value. Attentive staff too. Very popular and accommodating, needs booking in season.

Popped in for Pizza after a bike ride down the sea front. Friendly staff, well priced food. Nice atmosphere, good decor. Would like to return to try other items on the menu.

Visited today with my elderly mother with very specific requirements on colour and style. Staff were extremely helpful and it felt like most of the ladies wear team were looking after us. Thank you so much

Lovely Sunday roast good atmosphere and friendly efficient staff

Stopped in here for some food whilst on holiday. Chose two of the movie related burgers, and was delighted. Excellent service from all, and the movie posters around were a great touch. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

Superb service great ambiance for a bar. We had Cobb salads and their crab cheese melt thingie. Always a great place.

This was our first visit to The Diggers Rest and certainly won't be our last! Really can't fault anything. We had a lovely warm welcome from the landlady and our table was all ready for us, even though we had arrived early. Great food, presented well and hot plates! Hubby had one of the specials, Beef Madras, and he hasn't stopped talking about it! Everyone was really friendly, and we enjoyed a bit of a laugh & joke with the landlady. Can't wait to return. Good luck to everyone at The Diggers Rest, you deserve to do well.

Crab sandwiches on the beach….loved it. Cash only…….unbelievable how many people clearly dont have enough change for a pot of tea in their pockets these days. Lovely location, everything done properly. Don’t hesitate to walk down. PS Look after his £50 note 🤣

Friendly and welcoming staff All Covid regulations complient Felt safe and well spaced tables Great lunchtime snacks

Unfussy friendly traditional pub. Log fire in winter, terrace in summer. Hand drawn beer. Menu is basic but the food is good, and reasonably priced
