| With reference to me playing the organ in the Brass Monkey or the Half moon. Never played either of them. Only Played two seasons in the TALBOT INN. And I can't visualize Mr Fred Medland in a Tu tu. I think I have only had a drink about twice in the moon. And never been in the Brass Monkey. The Blue Anchor was my local. Be interested to know who the captain is ?? Cheers Eric Searle now retired professional musician. Organist/Band leader. 😎🐶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎹🎹🎹🎵. | ||

Mike I drank here back in the early to mid 1990's | ||
| I drank in this pub when I stayed in Seaton way back in the early to mid 1990's. The beer was good, it had a nice relaxed atmosphere and there was a local guy back then who was a double of Lee Marvin apart from his English accent. He would have been about 60 to 65 years of age back then and he lived in Seaton. He drank at this pub several times a week. I am from Australia. I will be coming back for a holiday in the area in 2017 so I will drop in for a few pints of the local beer. Good luck to the new managers. All the very best. | ||

| 5 of 5 stars on Trip Advisor After coming here a few weeks ago for a sunday lunch, that was delicious and excellent value for money, we decided to try the pie and pint which is on every Thursday! I have to say it was amazing, everything homemade and brilliant portion sizes! Everyone is so friendly, will definitely be returning! Highly recommend to everyone! | ||

Sarah Robinson We will return ! | ||
| Visited this pub with friends while on holidays, what can I say! It's like walking into someone's living room, a bit of a strange smell, very quirky with chamber pots and jugs hanging from the ceiling. George the dog rolled over for me to tickle his belly then promptly tried to take my arm off. The landlady found this as amusing as we did and was heard to say bloody tourists, they think he's ok until he has a piece of them. The parrot was wandering freely but we were warned not to touch him by a fellow drinker as he too bites, I think it's possible that the landlady does too. The drinks were flat and we soon discovered that the strange smell was George peeing everywhere at will. We only stayed for one drink but would we go back? YES! We laughed so much and will talk about it for ages. It will be one of our first stops if we are ever back in brixham lol! | ||

| 11/1/15 We've been coming to the Bowd Inn for many years with varying degrees of satisfaction but I have to say the current management team are doing a fantastic job. The pub is vibrant again with an outstanding carvery on offer every day and a level of service and quality to match,well done to all concerned! Great experience. | ||

| Went in on a Monday Afternoon with a friend and my children. As we walked in half the electrics weren't turnt on in the pub but due to the kids being hungry we decided to sit down. On tying to order a Fosters I was told the pump was off. I asked what selection of bottled beer they had, we were told the fridges weren't working, the lady behind the bar then tried to pour me a Carling which was just pure froth so I settled for a glass of coke. We ordered our food(which was 80% cremated and terribly presented) at the bar and chose what we thought was a nice table in the beer garden. Not realising at the time they had very recently painted these tables with no signs stating not to sit on them, ruining my sons and my clothes. When we confronted the staff they just didn't care, the only thing I was offered was a filthy tea towel to attempt to clean ourselves up, no apology or even a sniff of a refund. After speaking with the staff we realised that we weren't actually the first people to have sat in the wet paint and I can only assume they got the same response we did! So as well as ruining our day, our clothes and serving us shit food they were not polite or at all hospitable. I strongly recommend anyone thinking of going and eating here to turn around, walk to Tesco and buy yourself a sandwich and sit on the beach because you will enjoy it a lot more and have alot less hassle! | ||

Brian Williams Maritime Inn Brixham | ||
| Travelled to Brixham this week, as my holiday in Paris had been cancelled by Travel Agents. Best thing that could have happened. I spent some time at the Maritime Inn, and it lived up to all expectations. George the dog only bit four people, Mr. Tibbs the parrot bit only one (but made it hurt !). Pat the landlady bit no-one, but you sensed it was only a matter of time ! She runs a wonderful REAL pub, with lovely friendly people. I will be booking to stay at the Maritime later in the year. Thank goodness for life's eccentrics ! And Paris ? Forget it ! Travel Agents did me a favour ! It'll be Brixham from now on. | ||

Brian Pitney Never Again | ||
| This place has gone down hill big time. We visited a few days ago for lunch. Bearing in mind that this is still the holiday season, the place was almost empty.Maybe that should have been enough of a reason to have turned around and walked out, but we decided to stay. What follows is an honest review of our experience. Firstly, we chose a window seat, as we've done on previous visits - the window which presumably leaks was patched up with black gaffer tape! Now, bearing in mind my earlier comment that the place was almost empty, we were still able to tell what the previous diners had eaten, because most of it was still on the carpet. The Barman, who had as much charisma as a piece of wood and wasn't rushed off his feet could have picked up a dustpan and brush and cleaned the floor. This place takes self service to a new level - you have to get your own cutlery from trays, it is a lottery as to whether the cutlery has actually been through the dishwasher! We placed our food order with the bored out of his skull barman, who hasn't been taught to say please or thank you, or as you will read later sorry. Our order arrived and was wrong, the chef (who doubles as a waiter) blamed the barman for the mix up, however the barman had taken down the order correctly, we can therefore only assume the chef / waiter couldn't actually read. To add insult to injury some of the desserts we ordered weren't available, we did get a refund for that and a kind of mumbled apology from the barman. My advice to anyone dining in Seaton is to find somewhere else to eat. I will never visit this place again. | ||

N Booth shame. | ||
| This pub used to be run by Richard and Shirley Greenacre and it was one of the best pubs in what used to be a busy and prosperous Seaton!! The food was fantastic, the staff were well trained and friendly and it held its own in its prime location on the seafront and was always busy!! A real home from home! Now, it is a complete dive and the landlord/lady should be ashamed. The staff are lazy and miserable, the food shows a complete lack of interest and the beer is over priced without cause. I wouldn't recommend this pub to a raving alcoholic who knew no better than drinking in a gutter. It is rank and is not at all contributing to the community. Please, if you are part of this pub, help to make a change for the community, for Richard and Shirley who worked so hard in the past to make it what it once was and for your own good! | ||

Paul Brewer Awful | ||
| We visited this pub because it used to be splendid, my partners uncle and aunty were looking forward to visiting it again after having lovely meals in previous visits, but the food was pretty poor, my steak was over done, my partners brothers burger was brought out with cheese when he specifically asked for no cheese, fish and chips were brought out with peas not beans. The décor was horrible, big stains on the furniture, tears in the fabric, dirt on the carpet. Then they ran out of deserts, the chef and barmen had a row about who mucked up our order, would definitely not be visiting again. | ||

William L. Kopsch How long has the Queens Arms been in operation? | ||
| I was told by my late mother that her grandmother (my great grandmother) Alexina E. Hutchings lived in Totnes until her death in 1939. My mother told me that Alexina (also called Plexina) and her family ran the Queens Arms until sometime around her death. My grandmother Biddy Louise Hutchings Robjohns was Alexina's daughter. Biddy emigrated to the USA wih her husband in 1911 and left her mother and five siblings in England. Is it possible that this is the Queens Arms that Alexina Hutchings and her family ran? Alexina's husband (my great grandfather) was in the Royal Navy and died at the age of 36 (1893) while diving in (deep sea diving gear) to accomplish repairs on his ship. | ||

I went to eat in the Kings Arms last night 25th April and to listen to the duet who were playing. I had heard good things about the food, ambience and entertainment. Hence I was really looking forward to a great evening. The food was good and people were friendly. However during the time the musicians were playing, when a member of the audience decided to dance...along with my husband(whom I have been separated from for 5 years..this was our 1st holiday together since and was also his birthday) the singer showed obvious anger, by his demeanour, for the fact they had deigned to get up and dance.He made more than one comment to show his disagreement with their actions, at times swearing off mike but loud enough for me to hear, sitting 10 feet away, and literally telling them to sit down. In turn this caused me to feel anxious and concerned about what may happen if they didn't obey him! In my opinion the happy atmosphere in the pub changed and I felt a tension, resulting in my evening being spoilt. I feel so strongly about this that it has prompted this message. I suggest that the singer should be spoken to by management about his attitude to customers and the fact pointed out that people visit your establishment to relax and have an enjoyable evening and not to be bullied into submission when they are not sitting in the manner he wants them to. Otherwise it should be made clear to customers that no dancing is allowed. My husband said that last year there were several people dancing without a problem. The duet were really good but unfortunately, this marred their performance and resulted in me not purchasing a CD, which I had fully intended to do. Kind regards An unhappy Nurse. . | ||

Annie From someone who lives in Brixham. | ||
| What to say? Well there is a foul-mouthed, drunken hag of a landlady who keeps a scruffy pub that the locals ( yes, I am a local who lives on Windmill Hill, Brixham) steer clear of. I recommend that, if you are bold enough to venture in, to check your change as she is usually so full of whiskey she will possibly get it wrong, (but always in her favor.) The scruffy old dog George that has free range of the pub is known to bite so be wary of it. As for the parrot, well, it is a feathered version of the landlady. Unless you won`t complain about the shoddy service, foul beer & language that would make a fisherman cringe, or you are a family member, you won`t feel too welcome here. | ||

Tony Wood What a shock | ||
| Visited because of the mixed reviews and I wanted to see for myself. Oh yes! and I did. Dirty glasses, monkey beer and doubtful origin wines, out of date crisps. Landlady you think at first is fun but she ain't...see her when someone gives her apint back because it ain;t good stuff and see her face, here her mouth and keep low. The dog bits if you touch his back without any warning and the land lady gives you a mouthful for trying out a bit of kindness on the dog. The truth is in the game 'spot a local' because there are not any. Funny thing with the good reviews most have the name Sedden, I found this to be the landlady's name. Not exactly Smith or Jones is it. Sorry not for me after a day on the loo. Rating 1 just for the experience. | ||

HayleyD Beautiful Meal and Excellent Serice | ||
| I have been to the bowd now on many different occasions. Some with small groups some as much larger functions and on all occasions the food and service has been excellent. Yes the portions are a bit small but when having a three course meal they are the perfect size and feel you up with out making you feel sluggish. It beats all other Sidmouth pubs and restaurants hands down! | ||

Gary Terrible Christmas Lunch 25/12/11 | ||
| Booked for Christmas Lunch and reserved a window table. On arrival tables were occupied so had to sit down on another table. Had to get your own drinks. Starters came out relatively quick (bought out by a dirty apron wearing chef) in a huge wine glass which was packed with prawns and little lettuce and no lemon. Then main course came out over 45 minutes later another couple were waiting as well. when it came out it was cold and uninspiring and when we asked for cranberry was told oh no we don't have that?? errr its traditonal. Left most of it as a large proportion was unedible. The chef came back in and took the plates closely followed by a rather drunk and beer swiging lady barmaid who was off her face, who kept asking if we had ordered christmas pud. When it finally arrived all i can say was Asda childs size microwave pudding and surrounded by a whole tin of custard which was way too hot and again inedible. Would not go back. Disgusting food, rude barmaid and dirty scruffy chef. | ||

| After having are wedding booked with the pig on the hill for 8 month, we have been cancelled on. Waited 2month for menu, which never got. Staff kept saying they lost my number, wrote it down for them more then 4 times including email, which they had a could have contacted me on. USELESS! 6 months (1 month before invites to go out, and still waiting on menu) before the wedding got this email- Thank you for your email. As I am sure you know, your wedding is taking place on the Diamond Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend. This will be an extremely busy time for the pub and we have therefore decided that we cannot host your wedding. I am sure you will find a more suitable venue and we should like to wish you good luck on your big day. Best regards The Pig on the Hill Wedding booked BEFORE the Jubliee date come out!, now having to run around trying to find a venue for Jubliee weekend (impossible) and may even have to cancel wedding all together! NIGHTMARE! STAY AWAY! | ||

Liz B We did go back - oh dear! | ||
| Went back for another jazz evening and this time it was a lot busier and a lot less efficient. Long delays for the food to come out, apparently complicated because one of had a starter and hadn't told the waitress we had finished! Food was nicely cooked & presented but it wasn't a relaxed evening - such a shame after a promising beginning. | ||

James Woods Surly and basic | ||
| A quirky and unusual building/pub that initially evokes a warm South Devon welcome to anyone crossing its threshold. However, book a room for the night and that illusion very quickly disappears in a puff of wooden galleon gun smoke. The rooms are basic and actually quite clean but the service and other usual nice to haves, that one expects of a B&B, are shocking. A curmudgeonly and surly scouse land lady, when not nursing a hangover, puts you at ill ease and makes the simplest request seem herculean. All in all a very poor experience in a such an otherwise lovely part of South Devon. | ||

Jonathan Stott Excellent Food | ||
| Visited here 23rd June 2011, had Garlic Mushrooms to start, which came quickly and hot and tasted fantastic, then choose the Lamb on creamy mash and this was even better, came hot and with red cabbage with green beans, lamb was succulent and virtually fat free and was in my opinion the best I have tasted, the kids had home cooked chicken goujons and home cooked style chips and they were equally excellent, don’t be put off by dining area being bland the food is by far the best I have had in ages and I eat out quite a lot and to get everything just right was a great achievement and this place need the recognition it deserves and prices are very reasonable for such great quality food. | ||

William Sanders Ghastly Experience | ||
| Went to this Pub in December with friends. Ordered a meal which arrived in good time on a plate which looked like an inverted sunhat. Very deep centre section where the food sat all cramped in the centre of the plate surrounded by the edge of the plate which was few inches wide and totally unsuitable to put food on. I was very disappointed with this whole meal (quantity) and presentation. I let this experience go and put it down to a one off bad experience. I had forgotten the above and went again this last week. The same thing happened again. Terrible plates, poor presentation, quantity of food for the price very poor. Observation: Very Expensive.... Observed a group of people 60+ Who came in and sat down looked at the menu for a few minutes. They must have seen the silly prices so they got up and left. I should have done this also but unfortunately I had already ordered my meal. Never Again... The Blue Ball wins hands down.... | ||

| As it was my mum's 80th birthday we decided to take her out for dinner to the Bowd Inn. We haven't been to the Bowd since Mother's day and must say we were pleasantly surprised with the new decor,menu and excellent service we received. We had the exmoor rump steak which was very tender, I must say was one of the best steaks I have ever had and Mum was delighted with her Lyme bay crab cakes, we loved the fact that they now use fresh local produce and reasonably priced we will certainly be going back there again.

Anonymous Bowd Inn, Sidmouth | ||
| We have been going to the Bowd Inn for many years, but will not be returning. The attitude of the male bar person - Neil maybe his name, is to say the least appalling. We had a problem with the food we ordered and pleasantly asked to see the manager. A woman, who I believe is the proprietor's wife was very wishy-washy with my complaint, so I asked to speak to the chef. He appeared with an air of utter arrogance and rudeness. It turned out he WAS the proprietor and the woman prevoiusly mentioned was his wife. The bar lady who was there has always been so polite and helpful, but the barman, on this occassion - so rude. I just wonder when so many businesses are trying to survive in this day and age that people who take these type of businesses on, cannot stop and look at where they are going so wrong with their attitude to the GBP and holiday visitors. I will never come back again to a pub that I have known and been to for many years, it has not been the same lovely olde worlde pub for the past few months, maybe a year since these arrogant, non-professional people took on the place. VERY DISAPPOINTED. | ||

annoymous Disappointing | ||
| I am a local to the town of Sidmouth, and I have personally been going to the Bowd Inn for quite some years now. The previous owners had the Bowd just right with a fast efficent menu which was good value for money, and the service was excellant. However since the new owners have arrived, I feel that the menu is fussy and NOT in keeping with the age of the pub, and would be better suited in a small bistro place. As a local, over the summer months I have noticed it was alot quiter within the pub and it's large garden area compared to other years where it was always so packed it was a huge struggle to even locate a table, which proves to me that something has gone badly wrong with the place. However some changes I do agree with, which is the decor, yes it is warm and welcoming, but would be extremely nice if the owners matched and adopted the same attitude. I wiill not be visiting this public house again. Very disappointed. | ||

| As the new proprietors of the Bowd Inn we were very concerned about the last comment that was added on Sunday 25th July 2010. We can assure you that over the last 6 months we have really turned this pub around, by decorating adding warmth and charm. The menu has been changed using all local productts and most of our dishes are prepared and cooked to order which is proving to be very popular with our customers. After investigating Sunday evening we are sorry that we did not meet her expectations on this occassion. However, after our staff meeting we found that this lady was served spaghetti instead of penne, which we do apolgise as the waitress was not aware that we had sold out of penne and was substituted by spaghetti. It was my evening off and I had committments with my children and although I briefly went ito the bar and over heard this lady talking to 2 members of staff, I felt they were dealing with her appropriately, giving her apologies and complimentary drink, therefore did not find it necessary to interrupt. I am aware that this lady demanded to speak to the head chef, who is not the proprietor, and that his attitude may have been a little short which we do apologiise, unfortunately he had been working under a lot of pressure after a very busy evening and as we all know chefs can be rather strerssful! We do respect everyones feedback, so if you have any comments please let us know. email: thebowdinn@live.co.uk | ||

mrs rider what a sad end to a good day | ||
| me and my family visted the bowd inn today with some friends and placed an order for food. we have been coming to this pub for 8 years and we will never go back here again . when our food come out we was told that they had ran out of the type of pasta we was ment to have and gave us a different type and the rest of the food was cold we did say at the time but nothing was done apart from they heated the kids food up,i went in to talk to the girl behind the bar who was very nice and there was a lady there too, when the lady left i asked to see the manager to be told that lady stood there was the manager i was in shock !!!!!!! and the girl said the lady has just drove off out ummmmmmmmmmm so i asked to see the chef who was the rudest man you could ever meet he didnt even say sorry all he said was well i had 75 checks on at the time your order come in and when i said i would never come back he said good and that if people like me want to complain then he would more than happy for then never to come bk i also said you cant say that to customers and told him to go bk to his kitchen and i would take it up with the boss later and he told me to leave the pub . all i can say is i would be glad to leave this pub as its clear there are new people running this pub and its a dear shame as it was once a fantastic place to go. i was told by one of the girls that the chef is the new owner so be aware that the new people dont care about what the customers want or how they feel this is the worst i have ever come across avoid this pub !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||

Anonymous Sunday Carvery in Holsworthy ...... | ||
| We were told of this new and wonderful pub that had just opened in Holsworthy, and we should go down and try the carvery. We travelled from Bude, and realised when we got there that the pub was the Old Market Inn. My first thoughts were, I've been here before and did not enjoy it one bit. However I was convinced by my partner to carry on with our plans. We met up with our friends inside the pub and wow what a difference. The welcome was warm and friendly, and the atmosphere was fantastic. We sat on the leather sofas reading the complementary papers until it was time to go through. We walked through to what was a busy yet very well organised restaurant and shown to our table by the courteous and bubbly waitress, and then up to the carvery. With a choice of three meats and endless veg and roast pots, it was hard to make my mind up. After eating what seemed to be a mountain of food we retired back to the bar for coffee and other refreshments. We would like to say a big thank you to the new owners for looking after us so well, and look forward to seeing them very soon. More than likely next Sunday. | ||

| The old Market Inn has changed hands,and is now one of the best pubs in the area. Fully refurbished with a non-smoking seating area with leather seats, a completely refitted restaurant and main bar. Its nice to see Real Ales back in Holsworthy, and well kept too. The food is wonderful and atmosphere is great. Its the place to be seen in North Devon !! | ||

Heather Smith Disappointing | ||
| My husband & I have regularly met my Uncle & Aunt @ The Rising Sun for many years. It is a halfway ideal meeting pojnt for us from Mortehoe & then from Crediton. We have always had great food there with a real atmosphere. However on our last visit we were really disappointed. The interior & menu had changed. It seemed to have new owners, there was no atmosphere, pub was empty, food was overpriced and more of a restaurant feel to it. The menu was not only very limited and expensive, but at least three of the items were not available, leaving us with a choice of 4 meals in total!. It needs to decide whther it is a pub or a restaurant!!!!!! | ||

Paul Excellent food | ||
| I Live in Sidmouth & eat in the black horse once a month or so & the food is always consistently good, the staff are cheery & the service is fairly fast (slower at peak times but only 20 mins max), the menu could be a bit bigger & the specials more varied, but the place is always busy, so thats a good sign! | ||

Margaret Nicholls Disappointing carvery | ||
| We visited the Bowd Inn today (12th Sept) about 12.30p.m. My husband's steak and ale pie with veg was excellent but whatever went wrong with the carvery? The beef was superb but the cauli and leeks had been overcooked goodness knows what time (I know the leeks were fresh because the grit was still in them). Most disappointing of all was that after waiting for a new batch of roast potatoes, they were not even cooked through, never mind roasted. The fresh batch of parsnips were ok but the gravy resembled wallpaper paste in texture. I would have said something at the time, but by the time the problem became apparant, the dark lady I took to be in charge was busy behind the bar. | ||

| Judging by the comments below, two guests have had a bad experience, it's sad when this happens and we do our best to put things right, we also run a mystery customer program, and the Ship is in First place out of 250 other pubs we have. All staff receive a full training program, and are very good at their Jobs. The food is very good value and are the drink prices. All are very welcome. | ||

| We visited here on 16-Aug-2006 and the food has been the best we have eaten this week. The staff are very welcoming and the pub itself is very clean. This is indeed one to visit if you are passing, they also have accomodation and I would not hesitate to stay here if the rooms are as good/clean as the pub which the Bar manager said they were. | ||

AJB Bad Management | ||
| If visiting this pub, don't go by any displayed opening hours, they close when they like. Whilst I uphold any venue to choose its closing time, all must display and keep to it. It is a little annoying to arrive and find it closed early, more so if you arrive by taxi. The management show little concern as to the inconvenience caused. | ||

Sue excellent good quality food, real ales & wines | ||
| The Old Smithy Inn is in a village called Welcombe on the beatiful North Devon coast below Hartland point. It is now owned by Lee & Chrissy Robertson. They reopened it Easter 2004 after it was closed for over 2 years. They serve wonderful food, sourcing as much as possible locally, including fish, meats cheeses and vegetables. They have both Sharps and St Austell ales and a good range of wines. The Inn is thatched with a roaring fire in an inglenook fireplace in the winter. There is a very pretty garden with tables to eat or drink out. | ||

Julie Mackay Celebrations at The Watermans Arms | ||
| A 30th deserves the best. And this place meets the challenge. The food was amazing, so well presented and delicious. The location is breathtaking. Gurgling river, friendly ducks and plenty of benches to enjoy your time at this magical place. The staff are attentive and the landlord very friendly! I can recommend the champagne breakfast to add that little extra to any celebration. I can't wait to go back. We stayed two nights and it wasn't enough! You need to visit the Watermans Arms to see for yourself. I promise you won't be disappointed. | ||

Sarah lousy all round service | ||
| We live locally and as a family have been here a number of times, today we've been here, had a number of drinks and then ordered food - which took, in total over 10 minutes for 5 adult and 1 childs meal to arrive. When we complained, and we have seriously dead fish fingers to prove it - that a, the service was bad, and b, 3 out of the five meals, including the childs, were unedible, we were completely ignored. 2 members of our party complained and came up against a brick wall - the lady who was supposedly in charge chose then to stay out of our way. We showed the entire ground floor restaurant area the fish fingers and asked if they would feed them to a four year old and they all agreed they wouldnt. Even one of the waiters agreed, and tried his best, but I can honestly say they did'nt give a monkeys. All I can recommend is don't eat there!!! | ||

| The Maritime is situated overlooking the Inner harbour, about 2 minutes walk from the main town. The maritime has a warm friendly atmosphere with George the dog and Mr Tibbs the parrot to add to the pleasure. The Landlady Pat is very friendly, dont forget she loves a shot of Famous Grouse! The Interior of the pub is unique a proper old fashioned pub untouched by modernisation, with plenty to look at from the bed pans hung on the ceilings to the local history documents and old photos on the walls. Children are welcome along with pets. The Maritime also provides a room only board, with access to the main Kitchen and help yourself to Tea and Coffee. Behind the Bar is a Massive selection of whiskeys and Spirits, not for the faint hearted. This is the best pub i have ever been in. | ||
