A real food lovers pub with an excellent selection on the menu and quality food for the children as well. Chicken breast chunks instead of cheap processed chicken nuggets. The triple cooked chips are delicious!! and the fish just melts in the mouth! Very much worth the drive from Exeter.

An absolute gem of a pub in one of Devon's prettiest, most tucked away coastal villages. The…read moreMason's Arms is, quite simply, a fantastic place in every sense of the word. I've stopped off for a snack or a quick drink a couple of times, and it's always really impressed me, and the lunch my parents and I had recently ranks as one of the best pub dinners the Andrews family can remember. Their crab sandwiches were fresh, as were the fish in their delicious creamy leek fish stew, while the ploughmans was huge. Desserts of chocolate and pecan brownie and banana fritters with toffee sauce were gobbled up. Ok, it's not cheap for a Devon pub, but the food is worth every penny - there was hardly anything on the menu I didn't want to scoff down. The pub itself is a charming sprawl of wooden rooms, and a small seating area out the front. It's homely and although the staff run a slick operation, they're still friendly and helpful. The pub was recently taken over by St Austell Brewery, so there's a good range of their beers, plus a couple of guest ales. This includes one local beer brewed in Branscombe. It's quaint, delicious, comfy and sits in one of the most stunning areas of the Devon coast. It is, quite simply, a perfect pub.

Ceilings so low even I had to duck a couple times around the many old wood beams and brick arches all over the place. Very small but intimate, warm place with lots of little nooks and cool little places to cuddle up with your special one and a few great pints. Live music was excellent, and it definitely filled the place, making it actually a bit too hot for my comfort, but that's how the English do it. Seating outdoors as well for the smokers. Small bar food menu, but also an upper restaurant part as well with full menu of your usual British food. So glad we stumbled upon this place, somewhat hidden from the main road, and will always be a place we visit when in town.

A hidden gem in the small village of Slapton - when I think of the best pub food in England, I…read morethink of here! Another pub I've been visiting year after year when I holiday here in south Devon. The food is very traditional pub food (they do have some Indian food but I'd stick to the more old fashioned grub). Service can be a little slow, but hey, you're in a pub, with a full bar, relax and have a drink :) There's also a huge multi-floored beer garden out the back, with views of the scenic village. Inside, there are very old photos of the village, it's all very quaint :) Visit!

This is an amazing little pub. The bar area is cluttered with nick-nacks including ships in (and…read moreout of) bottles, and an eclectic array of ornaments of a largely eccentric nature! 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!

It's a bit scruffy and the decor is disctinctly quirky, but somehow manages to have the most amazing atmosphere. For warm day's there's outside seating, there's a good range of real ales and they serve hearty portions of reasonably priced food. In the summer they often have bands playing in the music room next door.

But it does seem like they're cashing in a bit: £7 for a baguette? And a small one at that - it seemed like it had been frozen and baked in one of those convenience-store ovens. With a little bit of rather dubious salad, with no obvious dressing. An extensive menu otherwise. Plenty of room to sit outside. The owner seemed reasonably friendly. Inside it did seem like a real local, albeit a rather posh one. I'd like to give it 4 stars but really can't given the feeling of being ever so slightly exploited.
