Lovely witty staff with a real sense of humour made for a really pleasant atmosphere. The home cooked food was very fresh and beautifully cooked. Try the crab and prawn's. The whitebait I had for starters was the best I have had anywhere in the World. Yes it was that good !

We came here after a long day of walking from Sidmouth to Budleigh Salterton (bus back) and were very hungry!
