The food was mediocre and a few of our meals had to be returned as they weren't cooked to our requirements ( steaks too well done etc) and the staff seemed to have a bit of an attitude problem. Normally if there is something wrong with your meal you are offered some money off your bill or a free desert-just something in a way of an apology but in this establishment they really couldn't be bothered!! Definately a pub/restaurant I will not be returning to!

Met with a friend for a few pints before and the beer and crisps were as you expect from a good Devon pub. Only comment on the negative - if you order something like gammon and chips that is what you will get... You will also need to book...

There was a black board with about 10 specials plus a regular bar menu. It is a 16th century thatched pub. We sat in front of a lovely log fire. The meals appeared to be homemade. My husband had liver and bacon which he couldn't fault with separate vegetables. We think that was £9.99. I had a jacket potato covered in prawns and they were happy for Mum to have a children's meal as she only has a tiny appetite. It serves locally sourced food and drinks. Hope to go back in the Summer and try th beer garden

Having just come back from a holiday in Lyme, just wanted to write about The Volunteer. Had a meal…read morethere and the food was absolutely lovely, very reasonably priced and of a high standard. Average price for a meal is around £8/£9 which is very reasonable for Lyme and although we have found lots of very nice places to eat in Lyme they have tended to be very pricey. This is a pub mainly with a little restaurant off to the side. It's very cosy, decorated in lovely seaside colours and has a very nice atmosphere. I would say the food is pub food rather than top of the range restaurant food (this is just an observation and not a criticism) however everything was cooked perfectly and served beautifully. My children ate every scrap of their meal and so did we. In the end we went back again at the end of the holiday and our second meal was just as good!! After dinner we ordered the cheese board with local cheeses and delicious biscuits. A great find and will definitely be going again on our next trip!.

The Bell & Crown is a historic pub in the little village of Zeals. It has an expansive interior,…read morealthough the walls are painted a very dark colour which makes the main bar area feel a little claustrophobic. (Yes, as another review states, candles in the middle of the day are a feature). Fortunately there is a another eating area which is brighter, and a large covered eating area outside, if atmospheric gloom isn't your thing. The menu is a notch or three above average pub food; my friend had calves' liver with spring greens and mash, and I had a vegetarian sourdough pizza with a side salad of rocker with dressed shallots and grated pecorino cheese. Both were really excellent - my pizza had a deep umami flavour and is one of the best I've eaten. That said, you pay accordingly: the two mains, side salad, with a beer and water, and 12.5% service, came to just shy of £58. Service was very attentive, if rather serious. By the time we left the place was packed with families and couples. So, a good choice for a special meal, but it might be bit too restaurant-priced for some.

On the way back we drove through Zeals. There it was, on the left along the A303. It looked charming like so many English pubs do. We went in and took a long look at the menu. Five minutes later, we were back on the road...with reservations for two at 6:45 pm. There is plenty of outdoor seating but we chose to be indoors. We were met by a very welcoming staff. Everyone was so friendly. Our server, Josh, had seated us by the window in minutes. He was very helpful and attentive throughout our dinner. The wine list was varied. There were several beers on tap. My wife chose the liver, cabbage and mashed potatoes. She loved it. I selected the Roast Duck with kale, mashies, sautéed onions and cavalo nero. I thought it was terrific. The decor was an interesting mix of contemporary art, antique prints and old photographs. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner in this cozy country Inn.

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.
