"While on vacation, we decided to stop by a restaurant that offered cream teas. We arrived at 2:55, thinking we had plenty of time before they closed at 4:00. However, as soon as we approached the restaurant, a waitress informed us that the main dining area was closed but the courtyard seating was available. We decided to sit outside since the weather was nice. At 3:05, we ordered two cream teas and they arrived promptly at 3:12. By 3:25, a server tried to clear our table even though we hadn't finished our meal, which was obvious. At 3:40, another server abruptly placed the bill on our table without us requesting it, and they treated another table of 4 in the same manner. At 3:45, we left through the back entrance as instructed by a staff member who was quite rude. Needless to say, we did not leave a tip."

"We run a Welcome Cafe for people who live alone and people who just need company and support. We come under the umbrella of the Lyme Regis Development Trust and we decided that we would treat nearly thirty people to a Christmas lunch and the Hunters Lodge did us proud. The Christmas table decorations were beautiful and the lunch was excellent and so well presented. Service was first class and the staff were so kind to our visitors. We really don’t know where to start to thank you Hunters Lodge for giving us all such a wonderful afternoon and you can be sure that your community spirit in helping so many people to enjoy an afternoon in the run up to Christmas will not go unnoticed. We would therefore highly recommend you to any individual or organisation wishing to have a lovely meal and excellent service. A huge THANK YOU from all who attended and wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year."

"During lockdown we ordered home delivery a few times and the food was superb, today we finally went in and had cream teas and ice creams with the kids, from the second we stepped in we were made to feel welcome by the friendly staff, they couldn't do enough for us and nothing was too much trouble, which is a godsend when you have with you hyper 3 and 6 year old kids. Delicious home made, crumbly and warm scones with plenty of cream and jam to go around. Will definitely be going back, we only live around the corner and its so often too easy to just go to Costa or Coffee #1 but if you look around you can find little gems like this."

"I wish i had read the reviews sooner. When we walked in we were shooed to a table in the middle of the room despite us calling up and asking for a corner table. I have problems eating in the middle of a room. The young member of staff had an attitude problem. We felt rushed and was asked twice before I even made up my mind if we were ready. Now I dont take long but when someone is rushing you its hard to make up your mind. I felt intimidated. When I made my choice he muttered something in a foreign language that I couldn't understand. The whole experience was distressing and I felt an inconvenience to be there. The food was bland and the curry was watery and hardly any meat never mind the price. This is no way to treat a customer that wanted the night to be a special night with their partner. Definitely won't be going back. Stay clear unless u want to eat in fear."

"I know that cancellation policies are in place for a reason, for the 'no shows ' and for people who do not respect the 24 hour cancellation policy. I can only assume that this is the reason that this establishment has this in place. Sadly, on the morning of the booking, I had to rush my father to A and E. My husband rang to let the restaurant know as soon as we knew that we would not make it. This was because we cared and wanted them to be informed as soon as possible and provide them with the opportunity of securing another booking. My husband rang at his earliest opportunity which was about 9.30 am. We were aware that the restaurant does not open until 12 but we wanted to reach them as quickly as possible. The answering machine came on so my husband kept trying until he eventually got hold of someone. Once my father’s condition stabilised, I also emailed the restaurant to extend our sincere apology and to explain the situation. During the telephone conversation I am speechless not about the non-refundable deposit) but about how the restaurant responded. Even if the manager was not prepared to change our booking to another day, could she not have been more kind with her response? At least 'a sorry to hear about your father, but unfortunately... ' The whole telephone manner was rude, abrupt, and uncaring. I understand that business is business but please have a heart as well. This is why I am writing this review. We were not being rude or abrupt. This was about a family emergency and we were letting you know whilst in the midst of it all. This was a booking for two people, not a party of 10. Does the restaurant not operate a waiting list? Did they make every effort to find customers to replace our booking? Times are tough for many of us right now and a little bit of human kindness goes a long way whilst citing your well publicised terms and conditions."

"Lovely welcome, owner very accommodating, moving a table so we had easier access. All staff made sure that everything was satisfactory. The food was lovely. Lots of gluten free on the menu. Salad even had apples and grapes in it. Pasty, hot and lots of filling. Latte coffees were lovely. The hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows were almost like a meal in themselves. The cakes and pies for desserts were to die for. (Think I need to go on a diet now! All in all a fantastic place to go. We will definitely be back. Thank you. X"

"Dukes is a large eaterie that we discovered on the Friday of our long weekend in Sidmouth. We booked in for Sunday lunch roasts available) but chose instead a couple of bowls of salt, chilli and ginger squid. The squid were predominantly whole baby squid and mighty good with the ginger and soy dipping sauce. A nice addition would have been a wedge of lemon and a sweet chilli dip, more akin to the chilli and spring onion garnish. We followed this with traditional battered cod and chips and a fish pie. Both were good choices but i would like to have seen a greater variety of fish in my pie, rather than just salmon and white fish..some prawns and monkfish for example as the dish was a little pricey at £19. 4 Guys non alco IPA and a cola brought the bill to a slightly expensive £66. The service was however good. Automatic service charging is NOT protocol in Sidmouth as a whole, so my £7 cash tip offering was gratefully recieved by our proficient server. Sidmouth is a very dog friendly village and as such, be prepared to eat alongside our well behaved canine friends."

The Proper Fish Chips Co.

"Have been having fish and chips from here for several years, however the last few times the standard has dropped. Last week we had fish, chips and mushy peas and the fish was of a very poor standard. The actual fish was grey and thin, and was very dry. The batter was extremely hard and almost orange in colour. It was almost brittle on the outside but still uncooked on the inside! It was actually inedible. The chips were OK, not great. Service: Take out"

Toast

"Under the previous owners, this used to be a lovely place for lunch, with delicious food. Sadly, today was a very different story... The ham cheese toasty only had a very thin piece of very salty ham with one slice of cheese, it was...very dry and clearly had no butter on the outside part, before going in the toasty machine. The garnish' was a thimble size portion of grated carrot red cabbage, no salad garnish or dressing. The cheese tomato sandwich had no butter on the bread, very thinly sliced tomato and very little cheese and very dry again no salad garnish or dressing and another thimble sized carrots/red cabbage. The menu sheet was grubby. The smashed avocado with poached eggs on the top looked the most unappetising plate I have seen in a long time! The eggs were hard and had not just been cooked prior to being served, Again no garnish at all, white bread with a small amount of avocado and white eggs served on a big white plate! We eat with our eyes as well!!! The coffee was weak, the cup of water was in a plastic cup, not a glass! We waited a long time for the food yet the place was not full and there were plenty of staff. We will definitely not be returning and sadly not recommending Toast to anybody. It was not a good Customer Service experience."

"Was visiting Exeter Westpoint for a few days and booked here for Dinner on the Thursday night. Staff were super friendly, organised and the food was well cooked, delicious and there were plenty of options available on the menu. The experience was so good that we booked for the Friday and Saturday nights too. Desserts were also delicious! Lots of locals drinking and eating always means its a good place to frequent. Free parking behind the pub available as well. Highly Recommended. Make sure you book though as its a very busy pub."

Antonio's

➤ 9 The Strand, EX8 1AB, East Devon, United Kingdom

Cafe • Italian • Ice Cream • Vegetarian

"I convinced my partner, who is half Italian, to join me for a meal and drinks at this restaurant. He wasn't very hungry, so I decided to order the Nachos with melted cheese for £4.50, with additional toppings costing 75p each. I chose sour cream and jalapeños. My partner ordered an iced mint frappe for £4.50 from the menu, while I opted for a simple black tea and asked for lemon to put in it, but they didn't have any. I had to wait a long time because there was only one girl serving a large order of ice cream. Eventually, a young man came to take my order, though he seemed new and unsure about the prices and menu. He wrote down my order and an older man came out to help. The nachos were served unceremoniously, with no napkins, and the dish consisted of mostly broken nachos with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, not the gooey mozzarella I expected. The sour cream came from a squirt bottle and tasted bland, as did the cheese. Despite their poor quality, I ate them because I hate wasting food. My partner also thought there wasn't much in the bowl, but we enjoyed the few jalapeños that were there. My partner's frappe came in a plastic cup, and the server apologized for not knowing we were sitting down and offered a spoon for the whipped cream. The visit was redeemed by the pleasant young server. We asked the young man for napkins, and he pointed us to a table inside where we had to get them ourselves. The worst part was seeing the older man and the young man go out three times to throw shop waste into the public bin on the square, including coffee granules and kitchen waste that spilled all over the pavement. The young man said he didn't know why they didn't use their own bins and was just following instructions. We were shocked and upset by this behavior."

"My wife and I went here recently to celebrate her birthday. The waitress was fab and friendly and had a great sence of humour. Unfortunately that was where the fun ended. My wife ordered dover sole and I had the pork dish. Mine was extremely salty but I decided not to say anything, however my wife 's meal was inedible because everything was plastered in heaps of salt. We called the waitress over,who then asked the owner to come and speak to us. She was very curt and offered to recook the meal. We asked if whe would take bith away as we didn 't want to eat alone or leav mine to go cold whilst they recooked for my wife. She took both away but quickly returned to inform us that she had tasted both and thought that the fish was fine but maybe the pork was a bit too salty! I informed her that I was very sorry and that we did not agree and that bith my wife and I thought that the dover sole was extremely salty. At this point she started to raise her voice and attracted the attention of the rest of the diners. At this I decided that it was time for us to leave as the situation was irreconcilable and that we would oay for the wine but not the food and got up from the table and went into the bar area to pay. The owner followed me and as I went to hand her my credit card she raised her voice again and shouted I don 't need this or your money, just go! We would like to thank Kerry and her husband for ruining my wife 's borthday"

"Nice local produce used in dishes, fresh seafood. A lot of fried stuff though and salads have good ingredients but aren't very exciting (I've had the Coast salad bowl more than once) but then it's really hard to find a good salad in this part of the world."

"Nice looking small café type of place and was told that they can accommodate a gluten free diet as I suffer from coeliac disease and must avoid all types of gluten. I ordered a ham sandwich with gf bread and when it arrived it looked...good and had crisps on the plate. I asked what brand of crisps they used and was told they were Walkers, I told her that they were not gluten free. The women who prepared the food came out and told me they were gf, which as a long term sufferer of coeliac disease I found rather insulting. I told her that I could not eat the food due to fact it would make me ill , but she went on to say that it says no gluten' on the packet,(which it does not) but then changed her mind. GF crisps are available but if you searched Walkers you will see that they are not gf. Also when I mentioned cross contamination the woman who prepared the food said that it can happen as they only have a small kitchen. I paid for the drinks we had but not the food as we left it untouched. The young girl serving and cleaning the tables was excellent and understanding and could teach the older staff some manners."

"I reviewed this some time ago, but I had occasion to dine again recently (May 2024) so I thought I would revisit my review. The restaurant wasn't exactly empty, but it was nowhere near full or half full. That was a great shame as the food and service was excellent. The service was attentive without intruding and putting a jug of water on the table when we arrived was a nice touch. The food was excellent, much better than pub food, it was nicely presented, hot and plentiful. The menu had something for everyone, I didn't realise there was a specials board but I do now and will look out for it on my next visit. I understand the cocktails are worth a look. The staff were friendly and efficient, the duty manager (Gilly) was a great asset to the establishment, if only all restaurant staff were this knowledgeable and effective, perhaps The Stables should be giving Masterclasses on how it should be done. Please take note Wetherspoons. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. This was my previous review. Excellent food and service. Much more than pub food.."

"Ended up here after not being able to eat at our first choice due to it being fully booked (they had a cheap Wednesday deal). However, I think luck was on our side as we had a terrific meal. Lots of veg options which is great as my partner is vegetarian. The table service was quick and attentive and there was a good selection of specials, good for me as I like to try new things. All the food was well prepared, not oily or salty (our 2 main bug bares with Indian food) and all the dishes were full of fresh vegetables, even the veg rice. We will certainly eat here again. Looking at the low star reviews for this restaurant, most are from 4-5 years ago when it was in previous ownership and don’t reflect our experience."

"Absolutely diabolical! 1hr wait for a table (as apparently they were full) then 1hr 20 wait on food for food that was poorly reheated. The chef needs to learn where the salt is kept. Pork was tough, roast potatoes had been reheated and fried, veg was overboiled, Yorkshire pudding was stale and over reheated. There was 5 tables total during our service and 12 tables total for the day not sure how his service and food would warrant a 1hr 20 minute wait. Not one check on the table, whilst waiting and during the meal, had to ask for the ETA, was told 5 minutes and it was a further 25 minutes. Only put 1 star because you can’t put 0. Will not be coming back, will not be recommending."
