The best restaurants serving British food 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.

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.

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.

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

Our daughter bought us a 2 course meal voucher for xmas and we finally had time to use it last night. On arrival we were met by a lovely lady called Amanda, she showed us to our reserved table and asked what drinks we would like. Once settled my wife explained she had this Groupon voucher and Amanda was very helpful with accepting it. My wife had a carvery and as I'm a veggie I had the mushroom and onion pie(lovely) , my pie was ordered and we were told about 15 mins later that it was ready and we could go and get our carvery . My wife said the meat was perfect and I had the carvery veg with my pie. The mashed potatoes were spot on as were the peas, I had two yorkshire puddings and they too were spot on. There was a very wide selection of veg . Once we has finished our main, we said to Amanda that we would pop out for a vape before ordering a pudding. We offered to pay there and then with the voucher , but she said nor to worry. We both ordered the apple pie and custard and both were decent sized portions it was a nice finish to a lovely meal. Once we went to pay for our drinks and leave , we were greeted by Amanda again and had a good chat with her for some time. All the staff were extremely pleasant and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. We will definitely be returning at a later date. Thank you toby Lympstone.
