A trendy environment, serving good quality food at reasonable and affordable prices.

The food is always great when we go here. The ribs for starters and the King prawns are a must have! Fajitas are fantasic too. Whatever you choose you won't be disappointed. Don't forget to book at weekends!

I had a meal with my wife & 2 friends & I found the food to be reasonable but nothing wonderful. The service again was only acceptable. I find it hard to believe that the desserts are so called home made. The bill was well over £100 for 4 people & for a village pub I find this strange

My husband had never tried Japanese food before and as I had lived in Japan a few years ago, I wanted to introduce him to the cuisine. We were quickly greeted and seated, and drinks arrived almost as soon as we ordered. The menu was clear and the choice of food was varied - yakitori, sushi, sashimi, etc... We chose a variety of dishes - all of them were cooked fresh and the presentation was excellent - and for someone who is fussy, my other half loved all of the food! Although not the same as I remembered, the food was excellent and had not been "anglified" at all. My only concern was that the only Japanese beer available was Kirin Beer, and that 180ml of Saki was £6. The evening out was a touch more expensive than we would usually pay, but we will go again and recommend to anyone!

Excellent food at a great value. This would be my first recommendation to anybody eating out in Woolacombe.

I came here a long time ago, when it was a dark and dingy pub/restaurant. Looking for somewhere 'nice' but informal with a memorable setting for my guests to eat, decided to try the Dolphin as I'd overheard favourable comment. First impressions were -wow - Lightly illuminated with a lot of pale timber and slate floors - it was a vibrant and dynamic environment. We had to work hard to find a seat (having not booked) but found a large adult sized solid timber table. It felt like home. Food was well presented and bang up to date. I have no hesitation in making a return trip.

Great

This place quite possible does the best carvery in Exeter at the lowest price. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, and the food is fantastic and very cheap. Well worth a visit, I guarantee you'll be back.

A cracking restaurant, highly recommended. The staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere warm and jolly. And the food ... well that was outstanding.

very nice will be coming back and loved the carvery.

Brian is an excellent chef and Jennifer and excellent hostess. All meals are superb.

I really enjoyed going to this restaurant. The menu was very extensive, particularly for pasta. They also offer a wide-range of food from the grill, just incase you aren't a fan of pizza or pasta. It can get very busy though, so book in advance

This restaurant is fabulous! The staff are really friendly and were so quick to help. Make sure you order the Crystal Dragon platter to start - it's gorgeous!

Being an old residence of Black Dog for fourteen years, fourteen years ago. My Boyfriend and I still come to the pub. We enjoy the food immensely. We're so grateful to you both.

Beautiful family run restaurant ideal for that special occasion. Food cooked to perfection and the staff were a pleasure to deal with. Take your time (you will not be rushed) to savour the delights of this little gem

We chose to go to The Digger's Rest purely spontaneously as it was close to home and we fancied a pub meal. We were very mistaken the food well exceeds a 'pub lunch'. It has become now one of our favourite restaurants. Friendly staff, great food, a lovely relaxed atmosphere and all at a very reasonable price what more could you ask for!?

fantastic

Really tasty food, the mixed grill was excellent. Staff always friendly. I felt they went a bit overboard on some of the decor (almost verging on tacky) on what is overall a really cosy and relaxed restaurant (especially downstairs). I'd go there far more often but their drinks, particularly the beer, are so expensive.
