Reviews in Devon

OK for a pizza, pasta dishes not so good, bit pricey for the wine

I would like to recommend: The Kings Arms, Currently serving some of the most imaginative seafood dishes in South Devon. Supplies are local, but ideas are gleaned from the world larder. Seriously good cooking in the confines of a jolly, family-run village pub. The wine list isn't bad, either!

This is quite a small place but they say good things come in small packages. The food here has been very good on the occasions that i have eaten here. You have to try the garlic bread - its the best!! Well worth the travel outside of Exeter

Great food. Loved the Seafood Broth. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The food served at the EOP is better than that served up in the nation's most prestigious venues. Prices are modest and represent excellent value for money. The Chicken Breast Stuffed with Wild Boar Sausage Meat is orgasmic and the Steak and Kidney Pie is pure sex on a plate! Graham's jokes are predictable, I think he only knows about six so you get them all eventually. For a village pub in North Devon this has to be one of the Nation's Hidden Treasures. The anonymous reviewer must have a hidden agenda, of the numerous people I have recommended not one has had anything other than the highest praise for the Food and Atmosphere. Top job Graham and Sue.

great food, great place.........

Our third visit to this colourful bistro was made by the quality of the seafood and fish. Lovely original flavours mingle with sweetness and texture. Wines worth a mention with an excellent bin-end selection providing an excellent match to the chosen dishes. A lovely downtown bistro well worth searching for.

I have visited this restaurant on two separate occasions over the last year and on both occasions have had an excellent meal. Whilst it was busy on both occasions and the service suffered at times, the staff, once "cornered" were helpful and cheerful, and coped well with the pressure. The ambiance is a bit cold and can be noisy, but apart from that minor qibble, its location in several rooms of an old building overlooking the cathedral is unusual and interesting. In summary, not a place to go if you are in a hurry, or want a quiet candlelit dinner for 2, but the food more than makes up for it - definitely the best pizzas I have tasted in Exeter. We will be going back !

Eat outside under covering in a beautiful sun trap by the sea. the food is out of this world and the service is friendly and casual. very relaxing and full of atmosphere.

This is a great pub. The food certainly isn't fantastic - its pretty traditional and ordinary pub fare - the English food is better - my wife strayed into a pasta dish which was probably 50% cheese! However, to be fair the last time I ate there was a year ago - it may have improved since. But the ambience is really great, the staff are friendly - and you can't beat it for location. Sitting outside in the summer with a plate of chips looking at the sea! Great!

I love it, with a nice range of surfboards, its somewhere I want to go to relax after I have being surfing all day

We have eaten at this restaurant half a dozen times since it has opened, having eaten Japanese food in Japan, we found the authentic experience of dining in the upstairs dining room a wonderful one. Our martial arts club had a banquet there last night and we were treated royally. MAGNIFICENT, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT EVERYONE TRY THIS BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT.

Good food and friendly staff

Was lucky enough to arrange a 40th birthday party here - we really couldn't have asked for more in every respect. Our guests came from all over including France and without exception they absolutely loved the place. Can't wait to return for a more intimate dinner.

Damien Hurst? new restaurant in Ilfracombe is a wonderful place to visit; we ate in the Atlantic room upstairs and had a wonderful meal. Can? wait to go again

I have personally eaten @ the 'Earl' on many occasions With Family & friends. Every time i have been Sue has out-done herself with the food, whether Bar-snacks or Full restaurant meal. Fantastic! and it keeps getting better. Not forgetting Graham Behind the bar (Trainee comedian) They both make you feel warm and welcome in this lovely village pub. Always a good night guaranteed.

We have been to The China House 3 or 4 times and have never been disappointed. I love the atmosphere, as it is a really old building, with lots of cosy corners and uneven floors etc. It is particularly wonderful at Christmas, with a huge floor to ceiling tree. The menu is above average pub fare, very well - priced and always served promptly. There is quite a good wine list and the staff are happy to recommend a bottle. I haven't sampled the Christmas menu, but it reads very well and again is competitively priced. We live in St Austell, but would definitely be regulars if we lived nearer. Richard & Helen Boyle
