appalling

very friendly, very welcoming

simple home cooked meals using local fresh ingredients for around a fiver in such a cosy old 3 storey pub, house wines just £5 a bottle, no surprise then its always so busy and a favourite haunt for Exeter university students with its late 2am license. Live jazz bands on Saturday nights well worth going and a Sunday roast with live blues also £5 !

From outside looked fresh, however inside a different story. The service and food was average, however what put us off was the luck of space. The tables were too close to each other so we could here the conversation on the next table!!

i don't mind paying for good food and good service, but i hate sloppy and unprofessional service that is what we saw as a family. the steak at £11.95 was tough, full of gristle, and no wonder they offer sharp knives, the portions are small, the roast dinners were warm, the apple crumble , i had to look for the crumble it was thin and with cores it was crunchy, the hot chocolate should have been called warm chocolate and when we asked for an espresso we got the response from the manager it is knackered. we left poorer and still hungry, would not recommend to anyone, yet this place could be good if they took more time gave a proper portion and ensured the food was edible and hot, and remembered that politeness doesn't cost anything, use at your own option i wouldn't again.

Everything about the meal that we had here was fantastic. The bar and surrounding area are excellent. I would really recommend this place to eat

We dined in the Atlantic restaurant upstairs. The decor was tranquil and service excellent. The menu choices were limited, but the dishes served were excellent. The risotto was one of best we had tasted and belly of pork was also very good. Alas I cannot say the same for the Oysters and Lobster as the bout of food poisioning (or allergic reaction) I suffered 4 hours after eating the meal was unfortunate.

Just exactly and absolutely what Exeter needs. A fabulous evening, great food and fantastic wine - we will be back!

Excellent service, our waitress had a lot of tables the night we went, but had time for everyone. nothing was too much trouble, steaks were 1 well done, 1 rare, both were very good, i had burger - also very tasty! liked the atmosphere & decor, very relaxing, will be back within a month as an enjoyable experience

enjoyed it very much - changed my opinion on a carvery- staff where very attentive and the dining room with that stage coach was lovely - definitely go again.

This place is a gem. Located in the tiny village of Milton Coombe, we visited the Inn with our Insight Tour Director. A quaint British Pub with excellent fair (eg organic icecream with clotted cream). A very good selection of cold beers and English ales.

One of my favourite restaurants in Plymouth, excellent food, delicious!! Although a little pricey the food is different to what you get elsewhere, really classy and the food preparation is spot on. The food is always well cooked and you have so much to choose from. I can't wait to travel to Plymouth for my next visit to Piermaster .... 5 stars all round.

We have been to the Mason's Arms twice this year. Both visits have been superb. I took my parents there two weeks ago. I had been raving on about it for months after the first visit and persuaded them to come and see for themselves. They had a wonderful evening and my Father felt it was the best food he had ever had! (My parent regularly eat in good restaurants in England and France.) The food was excellent and although pricey was excellent value. We has 3 courses, coffee, 2.5 bottles of wine and a round of drinks for £50 per person.

Stumbled across Cook Island whilst on holiday just outside Ilfracombe. We thoroughly enjoyed the carvery at £8.95 per adult. Vegetables were cooked beautifully and there was a great selection too. Great play area for children aged 3 to 15 years. Very clean. Only problem was not enough tables. Staff very friendly.

Truly authentic Thai cuisine, very friendly staff with good service.

Well worth a visit. Everything about this place is fantastic (the food, staff etc). Would highly recommend it.

We have eaten at the Flintlock Inn on three occasions whilst on our way back from Plymouth. Excellent all round except for one small detail........the music. If you are not a Carpenters fan, then continuous Karen can be too much!
