Reviews in Devon

no reason to visit this pub......owners lazy, staff uncomfortable, chefs weak.. So what are you doing, go eat and be surprised

Found this place without looking, we had the best time ever, just to make sure, we went back the following night and did it all again! The best atmosphere and such good host's makes this place The place to be in Ilfracombe. Many Thanks.

The kings Arms does exactly what it say on the tin.....friendly and welcoming staff, fabulous chef (salmon in white wine sauce over mashed potato and spinach is divine, followed by the white choc and baileys cheesecake....., heavenly!!!!)....the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly...the surroundings are comfortable making the whole experience just wonderful.......shame i live so far away....thanx to Nigel, James, Rachel and Kat......:D

When do you know Exeter is finally a fully fledged cosmopolitan city?... When you get a brilliant Japanese restaurant. Polo is just the best Sushi chef and Roey a fabulous hostess, ( Polo always makes me my favourites, including a very special sweet freshwater eel and beautiful octopus Nigirizushi) There is always a selection of freshly caught seasonal delicacies and you know that the southwest of England produces some of the best freshly caught fish in the world!!! For the non Sushi lovers there's a selection of Tempura, Steaks, Japanese curries and lots more on a varied and delicious menu. You've got to Love it. 10/10

i love this place. i have been loads of times and will never get bored of it. i have tried loads of different items from the menu and have never been disappointed, they are all as tasty as each other. i recommend it to all my mates and they all say the same. Johnny's friendly welcome and the laid back atmosphere make it a worthwhile visit. i am off there this afternoon and cannot wait. my favourite restaurant in this area by miles...

Visited this pub last week while on holiday in the South Hams. Great place to eat, excellent locally caught fish dishes and the steaks looked good too.. Serves a great selection of Otter ale and the Heron Valley cider is worth trying.

Had a perfect meal at Agaric. The tempura was light as a feather, the duck well-done as i had ordered it and the basil and green tea ice-cream was beyond delicious! they also catered well for the vegetarian, wheat-free eaters in our party.

I don't recommend this place at all! We stopped there on our way to Cornwall on Sunday 17th July. Had a burger which was dry and the chips were soggy and greasy. My mate had chicken fajitas which made him ill for the rest of the day with stomach cramps. Horrible greasy food and slow dreadful service. AVOID!

About 4 months ago I moved to Exeter. I am from Berlin in Germany and the only thing I really missed here was Sushi. We went to this Restaurant today the first time and I cannot wait to go again. The food was very fresh and so good. The staff is really nice and helpful. I highly recommend this place.

I went to the Mount Pleasant Inn on my recent holiday. I thought the view was lovely and the food just as nice! If i visit dawlish again i will be sure to go back. Lovely place to eat.

I have eaten at the Sidmouth tandoori several times and have never had a bad experience. Their food is delicious, cooked to perfection and the service is excellent. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Indian food and also to anyone who doesn't because chances are they will after eating there!

Visited on 09 July 2011. Vast improvement from last time we visited which was a long time ago but beautifully presented with lovely artifacts etc. Food was presented very well, very good service and welcoming. Vegetarian risotto was nearly as good as mine! would definitely go there again

I visited the Barbican Kitchen yesterday evening and was very impressed again. The 2 courses for £10.95 deal was brilliant, the pea and mint soup was delicious, as was the Pork. This is a stylish restaurant. The service was excellent, discreet and leisurely - We would not fault anything!

me and my wife have been holidaying in Devon for years and have often visited the church house inn as it is a wonderfully located pub just a mile from the beach and with a great beer garden to relax after walking the dog. we have always enjoyed our visits to the pub but the last time we visited the food we experienced was the best we had eaten in years. locally sourced fish cooked in creative and internationally inspired ways really excelled our expectations and we cannot wait to return next year!

absolutely fantastic. lovely setting and the food is by far the best we have sampled in the south hams. definitely worth a visit!

If you want bad service and an expensive meal, “Route 38” is for you. My Birthday meal fiasco took place on the 22nd of June 2011. Four of us arrived at about 8:00pm and were shown to a table. We then had our order taken in good time for both drinks and meals. The drinks arrived a few minutes later as expected. Three meals arrived 15 minutes later but mine took a further 5 minutes which was bad given that I had only ordered a burger. The meals were of fair quality but expensive for what we had. We continued eating and finished our drinks but it was not possible to get the attention of any of the staff for a refill. They were more interested in turning off the Budweiser sign, adjusting a blind and most annoyingly vacuuming around the area we were seated. After being made to feel very unwelcome we left without the sweet and coffee we were looking forward to. We had to step over the abandoned vacuum cleaner which was left in the middle of the aisle. All we needed to complete the scene was Basil Fawlty. I have lived and worked in the States and the abysmal service at Route 38 is a complete insult to American restaurants and the customers of Route 38 alike.

such a find....would love a weekly visit !!

Food is great , Staff are friendly and helpful
