When you see a real wood fired oven in the corner you expect the kitchen to make its own pizza dough - they either didn't or it was poorly made. The base was no different to a chilled supermarket offering - very disappointing. The topping, however, was tasty. The second visit was much more successful - the roast hake was very good. Coffee: poor flat white, as is the case in 99% of cafes, pubs and restaurants in the UK; espresso [on the second visit], not too bad.

And it's hard to credit that the head chef used to be head at River Cottage. Pheasant, partridge & venison terrine, with spiced pear chutney & malted toast £8.00, was too cold, too firm, and under-seasoned, though the toast was nice. Roast duck, £16.50, was tough, really tough, though reasonable tasty, and a small portion to boot. My friend's truffle mash didn't taste of truffle at all. But salted caramel & chocolate tart, Ivy House thick cream & honeycomb 7.00 was excellent, a generous portion of a crisp tart with plenty of well-flavouted topping, a huge dollop of very thick cream and scatterings of crisp honeycomb - delicious. There are wines by the glass, and - useful for drivers -, carafes of a few too, whcih is thoughtful and helpful. Service is willing & polite, and tables reasonably spaced. So it's a mix: some good, some indifferent. Not much competition in this part of Somerset, so they can get away with this, but it's a shame, it's likely they could do so much better.

@Eating.Drinking:…read more The Halfway House is an authentic, rustic traditional British pub offering the ideal atmosphere for causal drinkers due to the vast selection of beers, ales and ciders.

Stopped in here on the recommendation of one of my wife's colleagues. What the other reviewers…read morehave said is spot-on. This is a top-notch, traditional country pub. The food was excellent. Some of the best fish and chip's I've had in the UK (fish was great and the chips tasted triple-fried; amazing). Great selection of draft ales and ciders. Nice staff and clientele (not standoffish even though we're obviously not from these parts). I loved the big flag-stones in the pub and the open fire places; was cozy and inviting inviting. Everything felt rustic and authentic. Plenty of parking in the private lot.

Proper old fashioned local, but NOT in the "we won't talk to you and go all quiet when you walk in"…read moretype of local. Used to go here quite a lot a few years ago and have just started visiting again; not surprisingly, it's changed hands and been refurbished but still a good place for a nice evening out. A few beers on tap, some ciders and usually a couple of barrels (beer) served on gravity, i.e. barrels behind the bar. Must mention the pizza's though. You can choose a basic pizza e.g. Margherita (sorry for spelling), Quattro Formaggia etc and then add some toppings of your choice (chilli, goats cheese, capers etc). Brilliant, and ghen it comes served with a little basket of sauce bottles.

The staff were really friendly and welcoming when we arrived and encouraged us to try some locally sourced ciders and gin. There were three menu options - a la carte, an extensive specials menu and a set three course weekend lunch. The food has a fine dining feel in a relaxed, casual setting. The duck two ways was a real highlight.

The UK is literally littered with country pubs, and in many cases it's sad to say, but…read moreappropriately phrased perhaps, that what they serve up as food is pretty rubbish. The phrase 'home cooked' seems to have been superceded my the concept of 'van delivered' all too often. Thankfully that's not the case at the Five Bells in Clyst Hydon. It's one of the very first places I visited when I moved to Devon many years ago, as a friend recommended it, and I've been returning ever since. It's the kind of place you turn to where you just know you won't be disappointed, a foodies rock in an otherwise tempestuous chain pub ocean. The pub's one many awards over the years, so I won't go on about how tasty the food is, but I will say that one of the nice things I've always liked about it is that they are still experimenting. Sure you can get your english staples there like steak & kidney pudding, game pate, treacle pudding, etc., but also other treats such as mediterranean tarts. The chef here is one of those increasingly rare beasts, someone who really knows what to buy and how to cook it. It's not some kind of reinvented gastro pub either - it's just a good pub with good food - why is that so hard to manage anymore? I should say they also stock a fine range of drinks, including the Otter beers, once of Devon's best breweries. Then there's the location and the pub itself. Buried deep in the heart of Devon, near some great woods (with some interesting mushrooms to hunt), wonderful gardens outside and an interior that just seems to keep on going, full of nooks and crannies, games to play, old books to read and much more. I once took a friend and his (very small) three girls for lunch there and the owners and staff didn't blink an eye. Sure they made sure we were tucked around the corner a bit but the girls didn't mind and all loved the food! If that isn't enough to tempt you then how about the fact that Clyst Hydon itself has it's very own lido just round the corner from the pub? Just check the Google map and you'll see it just next door. All in all this place is a gem. A little hard to find perhaps but if you can find it, then you deserve it. P.S. There's a two course lunch menu at £7.95 available from Monday - Thursday and Saturday. This is my favourite as I never know what I'm getting till I turn up at the pub.

My husband took me here as part of my birthday treat a few months ago and I will be forever grateful that he did. It is really quite difficult to put in to words just how good the cocktails are. The premise of this place is that they make 'molecular cocktails' - essentially cocktails that they have scientifically concocted so that all of the ingredients complement each other molecularly. For just £50 per person, you are treated to a 7-course cocktail menu. With each delicious cocktail you are brought a unique side dish that has been chosen specifically for that drink. We were given such unusual dishes (including slices of cured meats and filled pasta!) that oddly did enhance the taste of the cocktails. As well as the delicious cocktails, what this place also has going for it is the decor. It is very sleek, elegant and gothic. The service is also incredibly good as well. I would absolutely recommend going to this cocktail bar if you can. You would be stupid not to go here. It is absolutely worth visiting. I cannot wait to return.

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.
