I've eaten here a few times, and never been disappointed. Cod and Chips is the best in town. Came here Sunday for a roast for the first time. It was amazing. Vegetable selection was really good. My partner had Lamb that he said was amazing. I had the vege Leek and Cheese option, and I honestly have never had anything so good. Great value for money, service is great and the food is phenomenal.Vegetarian options: Delicious

The locally caught cod, served in beer batter is the best I have ever tasted in 50 years of eating fish and chips! Absolutely superb!! The lady chef / manager really knows what she is doing.

£12.95 for a roast beef lunch which had 6 veg and nicely cooked, charming service to boot.

Very quiet when we arrived with one guy in the bar and one couple eating so easy to get a table. The young lady doing front of house was both friendly and efficient. Heineken was 4.20 a pint which I thought quite reasonable. I had Gammon Steak and the wife went for Chicken Goujons, both of which were good portions, my gammon being just a little overdone for me, but certainly a personal preference and perhaps I should have asked for how I like it. By the time we had finished our meals several more people had congregated in the bar. This eatery looks like a family concern to me and all credit to them as they were continuously finding jobs to do. Thanks for a lovely evening which cost just on 40 quid, so not bad at all!

Went to Devon to visit the family, popped in for a beer as you do. Lovely place. But quiet, but then again, it was late afternoon and the holiday seasons over. In the words of Arnie, I'll be back ??

5th October 2023. 17:30.Walking past The Pier Brewery, I see, on the board outside, Swordfish, I haven't eaten swordfish for a long time. We get a warm welcome, and find a table, order taken, we wait in anticipation. Two plates with large swordfish steaks on mashed potato and a salad garnish. Absolutely lovely, and would return there again, maybe to try something else from the menu, or just for the swordfish.Excellent value, great people and atmosphere.Many thanks.
We have eaten twice here this week and honestly the food is fab. We had the Cod best cod ever. The Butterfly Chicken was very nice and the Gammon really good. Nice portion sizes and good prices. Can't fault it. The staff fab esp Kelly the Landlady she went above and beyond to make sure my Grandson was accommodated to making him a lovely hot chocolate with a straw ? and cucumber on his child sausage meal which was just right size for him. Nothing seemed to much trouble and we really enjoyed our evenings here. I like the fact you can take dogs in and little kids play area. Been coming Ilfracombe for 50 years for holidays and this would be my go to place to eat without a shadow of a doubt. Thank you all xxParking: Parking is free after 6pm in car park in harbour.Kid-friendliness: Lovely little indoor kids play area with huge playpen and toys. Kelly was lovely with our autistic grandson.

Weather was very weathery so we ducked in to get a spot of lunch. Staff seemed a little under pressure. Nice vibe to the place, definitely child friendly. Two pints of Thatchers Gold (sadly Old Rosie was not on pump). Chicken Liver Pate and Fish Finger sandwich. £22. Reasonable price. Nice pate, really nice real fish fingers. Obligatory salad garnish. Really wish places would be brave enough to ditch the salad. No one really wants it. Also ditch the handful of broken tortilla chips, please. All in all, would happily return for both food and drink. One word of advice. Seasoning please. Add a good amount of salt to the fish dredging flour before battering. It will make all the difference !!!

In a word, Fantastic. We spent a few days in Ilfracombe, each night trying somewhere different to eat, all of which were ok.But wow, the food in The Brewery Tap was absolutely top notch and so was the landlady who couldn't have been more helpful!! A huge thank you from both of us.I just wish we tried your pub first!!
