This freehouse, more restaurant than pub was recommended by a local. Three real ales plus the usual kegs. Very friendly, good light lunch of starters. Great chips. The small village of Axmouth supports two pretty pubs. Doggy friendly. On site car park and attractive garden with country views. ????

Excellent food and a large choice for Sunday Lunch . It is advisable to book early as parking limited. The pub is large and friendly

Fabulous meal, everything was well cooked and hot, followed by an equally good dessert. The best pub food I've had in a long time.

After visiting Seaton…(never again)… We were hungry and looking for a decent pub and drove past and decided to stop…not sure if they would even be open let alone serving food. So glad we did, lovely food, very welcoming and excellent service. Very few people in, not surprised given it was November but a real gem of a place and could easily imagine on a sunny summers day the place would be packed. Absolutely recommend this pub and we all need to support places like this.

Called in here on spec on what was a very busy Sunday lunchtime, there was a table of 22 in the function room. We asked for a table for 2 with 2 little dogs, the lady dealing with us said she had one table but is was needed again at 13:30, it was 12:15, This was fine with us as we had already chosen our meals while waiting. We were seated and placed our order straight away. Drinks turned up followed by our food, the burger and ham egg and chips, we were not hassled,chased or pressured in any way, to assist I requested to pay the bill as our food arrived, the very friendly waitress came back with the bill and the card machine. The food was great, hot and tasty, even though we had paid the bill and the table was soon to be required we were still asked if we wanted a sweet of coffee. Excellent lunch,, Thankyou….

What a wonderful menu. So many choices. Tasted fabulous. Friendly staff. Good size portions. We booked as had two dogs with us too. Glad we did as obviously a popular place to eat. Regretted not returning the following day - we chose somewhere else for holiday variety and it wasn't a patch on this place!

A wonderful place which is very popular. We visited on three occasions during our week's holiday and were not disappointed. Portions were ample and there was a wonderful selection of meals available. There was also a great selection of beers. There are several dining areas, as well as a large beer garden. Service was very efficient and helpful

Had the most lovely Sunday roast here today with my family.Excellent menu and the roast dinner was beautifully cooked, and tasted fabulous.The nicest meal we have had in a long time with fabulous service.It’s not surprising you have to book here but it’s well worth it. Would highly recommend.

I was very impressed with this pub. I has been renovated since l was last there nice and modern. The food was very good as was the service. The smell when you walked in was mouth watering and the place was very busy even on a Tuesday lunchtime. The staff we excellent and very helpful.Will definitely go back.
Yes, reviewing again... when it asks 'When did you go' why can't there be an option for 'every month'. This property really has it nailed and I'm writing the umpteenth super review only because we went on a Friday night and it was rammed... even full in the skittle alley (and yes, I DO remember the skittle alley). Not an issue though, exemplary service, usual super tasty menu - OK, we always stick to the same things but what is wrong with that? - and really, really happy on taste, service and cost. Excellent job as always - thank you!

I have visited the Ship Inn three times in the past year, as it is my favourite when visiting relatives. I have eaten the Belly pork on those occasions, its delicious. I have eaten other food on the menu over the years and always enjoyed it. So far we have always had excellent meals and pleasant service. I particularly enjoy the fresh veg selection with some meals. It does get busy, and also has an excellent garden ,and I noticed they were serving fresh pizza outside the last time we visited. We will return.

Happened to be in the area and decided to find somewhere to eat. The staff were very accommodating as the pub was fully booked from 7 that evening. Fitted us in. The service was exceptional. The local fresh scallops I had for main course were a delight. A lucky find but one to remember. Family run businesses excel where others don't.

With 9 of us, including 4 children, booking not far in advance we were pleased to get a table that fitted us all in comfortably. We were surprised at how busy the pub was. Pleasant staff, great food and good value. A good children's menu and not just the usual 3 or 4 items. Also a good choice of well kept beers, our orders taken promptly and food delivered timely. If we had found this place earlier in our stay we would have revisited and will definitely book again if/when we are next in the area. A smallish car park so we needed to park on the road nearby. This didn't detract!

Visited this pub/restaurant twice whilst staying in the area, firstly for Sunday Lunch and then weekday lunchtime. On both occasions the food was plentiful, tasty and well-cooked. The roast was great and scallops and burger really really good. The location is excellent and outdoor space a bonus. Staff were attentive and pleasant. If you get a choice of where to sit, ask for the main pub area rather than the annex/function room. We were seated here for the Sunday visit and found it rather noisy/echoey and strangely soulless with no low-level windows despite the views outside.
