"Lost count how many times we have visited Sidmouth, and one of the main reasons for going is down to Neil 's Restaurant, which in itself says it all. Last week we only managed 3 visits trying to go through the menu, spoilt for choice. We have never been disappointed with any course ever. In fact quite the opposite. The food is freshly cooked with some gentle exquisite sources, plenty of fresh vegetables and special deserts. The staff are great, efficient and friendly, its a great atmosphere. Super quality food at a sendible and reasonable price. One of the telling points is that they were full every night they were open, which is why we could only get in 3 times, luckily we had booked the 3 well in advance. Its an asset to Sidmouth, and you could well understand if estate agents put them as a local asset in the amenities of the particulars of property for sale, could increase the region 's already high property prices, wish we lived near by."

"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."

"My wife and I visited on Sunday for lunch and enjoyed a fantastic array of vegetables, which included vegan cauliflower cheese and vegan Yorkshire pudding, along with bratkartoffeln and plenty of other veggies, all topped with a drizzle of gravy. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we capped off our meal with dark chocolate and a walking torte served with vegan cream. If you get the chance, don't miss out on this!"

"I have been a regular customer for many years at Costa in Sidmouth have always found the front of house staff to be great, sadly those staff are let down by a Manager (Phil) who has no people or customer service skills.I rarely if ever make a complaint but sadly today 13/02/21 my patience ran out with the terse attitude of this Manager which I have felt previously on other visits, this guy is supposed to be welcoming, not frosty charmless.After work, myself a workmate popped into costa to grab a coffee, while he joined the queue I just sat down on the stone seat by the food counter as many people often do, without so much as a hello, Phil the manager honed in on me with aggression said OFF OF THAT SEAT offended doesn 't cover it but I did retort as I grabbed my workmate to leave I said I told you he was a miserable sod I couldn 't help but feel sickened as we left as I did nothing wrong, my workmate honestly thought it was some joke the manager was playing but sadly it was only too real for me, leaving a permanent scar with this Costa, which I won 't visit again whilst he is in charge!"

"Other reviews suggest that we may have actually avoided a bad experience, as it seems that anyone from out of town is treated poorly anyway. Additionally, the temperature was not below freezing, but even if it had been, my child would have been properly dressed and cared for. Despite their defense of their pub and its rules, they should not attack my parenting abilities. My husband's name is Glenn, not Loveridge, and I would appreciate it if they did not try to use personal information against me. Overall, I would rate this pub zero stars and suggest others avoid it as well."
