Space for seating is limited so call ahead of time to reserve a spot. The food won't disappoint- I ordered a seafood salad as my main and was blown away by the amount of fresh seafood served relative to the tiny amount of salad. Usually this ratio would be reversed in the states. Everything was fresh and well done. I was especially fond of the orangey crab spread on my plate. I don't know what it's called exactly but it included chunks of hardened crab fat. I can't say I have ever seen that served in any other restaurant I have been to, nor is it available at our local seafood stores. My parents usually grab me a jar when they make a trip to the Philippines so The fact that Sloop served this was impressive (to me). My husband ordered a Toad in a Hole and thought it was tasty but it was heavy so plan for a nap after if that is calling your name. I can't comment too much on drinks since it was 3pm and we felt a little odd drinking so early in the day. Alcohol also doesn't mix well with those narrow country roads out of Bantham beach.

There is even a knitting corner. The snug is covered in graffiti and in another area there is a collection of toys. Dogs and children are welcome. The food is good my ham sandwich was top notch and Judi's prawn sandwich was reported as 'excellent'. There is a separate evening menu that has a limited choice, which suggests that the quality is likely to be good. Don't expect haute cuisine but do expect good pub food, entertaining and welcoming locals, friendly bar staff and a fascinating mooch around the various bits of 'stuff' around the pub. DON'T expect to pay by card! Take cash!

Yank here. First of all, I disagree with the poster that…read moresaid this is average pub food. Maybe we just have terrible pub food in the US, but I would consider this pub food gourmet and made with love. I had their fish and chips and it was a legit entire fish fried golden brown. I subbed onion rings for fries bc I honestly couldn't stomach another "chip" in the UK. I'm tired of fried potatoes, sorry. So this entire fish was not the frozen, breaded blocks of fish you get in America. I felt my coronary arteries occluding after eating 25% of my fish and after one onion ring so I had to tap out. But not before I devoured the mushy peas- bc it's almost like mashed potatoes, except green and not potatoes. Husband had the beef shin special which was delicious and odd (I can't say I've ever had shin served in the US... it doesn't sound appetizing but it's pretty tasty). We had drinks to start and let me just say I got schooled on proper gin drinking- I'll be sure to consume my gin and tonic in a bowl, double shot gin, and plenty of ice. I had a fantastic meal. This place gets busy so make a ressie ahead of time. These country roads in Devon are a little treacherous for this California girl, but if we return I would definitely make a trip back here.
