We just went for a meal before Christmas. Service was a bit slow bearing in mind it was very quiet and the meal wasn't as good as I'd hoped.

Christmas meal with friends Starters were just about ok . The Brie was stone cold.soup was awful. Mains were ok ,nice roast potatoes. Frozen sprouts were cold and the parsnips were not roasted. Desserts were awful. Trifle was just jelly slopped on a plate with pouring cream on top. Eton message was disgusting,nobody ate it and the chocolate fudge cake was stone cold . Total waste of money . This place has gone down hill

16 of us went for Christmas dinner, really couldn't fault it, the food was fantastic and the service was brilliant, most of us had the set 3 course Christmas meal but we also had some children's meals and an adult meal. All mains were served at the same time which was a task in its self as the pub was very busy with lots of Christmas parties in . The staff were very friendly and cleared up quickly between courses we all had an excellent night and I will be returning again when I'm next down in Dawlish.

Great pub with plenty of space for large groups. We had Sunday lunch with 10 of us. The service was friendly and efficient. The food plentiful and tasty. The garden burger (vegetarian) was different from the usual with lots of different vegetables used. We had huge helpings of beef in the Sunday roast which satisfied the huge appetites of our teenage grandsons! Relaxed atmosphere where we could eat and chat in comfort.

We've been there a couple of times and the food has been really good... We go to really good, ( pricey ), good and awful eateries ( awful by accident) but today I had the steak & ale pie and I can honestly say the pastry on that pie was was fantastic. Great proper British fare with great views and smashing beer. ... Go there, you know it makes sense ?

I Had a wonderful party for 50 people, the staff were amazing. Dan went above and beyond with organizing for us and overseeing the get together. The chefs worked their magic with the Hot food buffet it was delicious and we had a lot of great feedback from party guests with how lovely it all was, not a single negative comment. Room beautifully set out. Thank you all for the attention to detail and service given. We can't wait to come back again

Been coming here for 20 years and this is the first time I've been so disappointed with a meal. Infact I just couldn't eat it. Dont order the fish pie. It is a mash potato pie with minimal flakes of fish in it. They took 50% off the price of my main without a fuss, so fair enough, after all a bowl of mash for £17 is a bit of a pee take. I can't believe a chef would be happy sending that out, but they obviously are, so says it all really. Just feel for the front of house staff having to try and justify poor quality dishes.

I have been coming to this pub since I was 6 years old, it’s always been a highlight of this holiday location but my recent visit was disappointing for myself and my mum. We both ordered the fish pie and when it came it was basically a bowl of mash potato. (This dish costs £17?) Not being one to complain, I decided to make a member of staff aware who took the plate away. Shortly after another member of staff (supervisor??) came to tell us that they don’t put fish chunks in the pie but it is flakes which quite frankly is awful for the price they charge and the minimal fish in pie. After saying it didn’t even taste of fish but purely potato, I was told she wasn’t going to argue with me to which she offered me the plate of mash potato back or a new meal. I went for a new meal whilst my mum said she will just pick out the fish and eat the vegetables. Service seemed slow even though it was not busy at all. It has tainted our view of the what was a lovely pub - to be told by what I can only assume is management that they won’t argue with us but it is what it is; well, it’s disappointing.
Lovely food with great scenery to overlook the coastline. Service was rapid and the food was the normal good food for everyone.

This pub/restaurant was within walking distance of where we were staying, and so pleased it was. What a fantastic place this is. We ate there 4 nights, trying something different each night and we were never disappointed. The meals were excellent , freshly cooked, and piping hot, well presented and plenty on your plate. Unfortunately as much as we wanted to try one of the delicious sounding sweets we could not squeeze one in. The staff were friendly and very helpful, checking if you needed more drinks and if the meals were OK. We can't praise it enough.

Went today for lunch it was very disappointing, I asked to have the cottage pie with vegetables instead of the chips, when it came to the table it was quite a small pie in a 4 - 5 inch round bowl too much mash no where near enough meat and no gravy, the veg was laughable probably one carrot cut up, a single small floret of broccoli, a small baby potato, couple of small pieces of parsnip and a couple of pieces of sliced leek. On the quite big plate looked ridiculous didn't even have the peas which would have been with the chips, my husband had to ask for more veg. There were other people there also unhappy with their meals, the chef needs to look carefully at the food before it's served, needs more pride in their work. Overpriced for what I had
