"Went to this place twice during our week long visit, staying at Devon Cliffs/Sandy Bay. My photos show our bill, cod in lemon sauce, pork tenderloin, pork belly and the beef lasagne (in a massive dish I might add). There were 4 of us, despite what the bill says. We had beer and wine and 3 puds on this occassion with bread and oil to start. Mine was the lasagne with salad (and a side order of chips, not shown) it was truly massive and I couldn 't quite finish it. Very tasty meals and we found it easy to park on the Thursday we visited (15th June 2023), about 6.30pm. Highly recommend this place. It was clean and tidy, and the lady owner was very pleasant and chatty. Nice relaxed atmosphere with some 'oriental ' music playing in the background. On the previous occassion I had the paella special very, very tasty but again, it was massive and I couldn 't quite finish it (which is why didn 't have it the second time around). Dietary restrictions: Lots of options for my friend who needs gluten free meals"

"Nice enough vegan breakfast with plenty of food but why they think they can justify an extra 30p for about 20ml of oat milk is beyond me that works out about £15 per litre. Staff said not much demand for it (not surprised at that price) so they don't get to use full bottle but it lasts a few days and this is profiteering. I know lots of others overcharge for nondairy milks but they shouldn't"

"Today wife and I celebrated my birthday and also my successful heart op. So it was a special day for us. We sat in the indoor terrace, nice and warm and enough people to give a nice atmosphere. Staff were absolutely superb. We both had scallops to start. Very good Followed by whole char grilled cuttle fish my wife found this dish to be excellent) I tried the pollock. Nicely cooked. I had chips with my fish and when I ordered a second lot they arrived in 2 or 3 mins a piping hot. We also had a sweet. Chocolate brownie with banoffee sauce and I had the peach Melba. Both excellent followed by tea and I had the fisherman’s coffee. Well done to all at rockfish and not forgetting all those behind the scenes. Kid-friendliness: Children were welcome and a nice high chair provided. Wheelchair accessibility: Having got a family member in a wheelchair I tend to take notice of ease of entry and roominess to manoeuvre. Not sure about toilets."

"Can 't say I 'd been impressed with any menu on the 'net before attending but friends wanted to take me for a 'special ' birthday lunch. I remember Combe House in the 'olden ' days a real treat and fabulous cordon bleu food tried not to compare with that but.....definitely not worth the ....1 non alcoholic drink, 2 glasses of Bolli 22 a glass. 2 venison with no potatoes and only 1 small portion of red cabbage on the plates, and 1 lemon sole looking very lonely with nothing else! 1 glass Pinot Noir and tap water. 1 pear pudding and 2 coffees over 200 plus helped themselves to 23.66 'discretionary ' service charge. but with no mention of that! The menu was illegible the print being far too small, staff were pushing any extras they could and waiting staff constantly interrupted sentences i.e. rude/ill trained. Clearly someone considers this a clever money making ruse and if people are prepared to pay well over the odds for very little then they 're winning, but to me it 's a silly ploy. with ghastly tasteless pigs littered all over the venue, and ruins what once was a very special place to dine/enjoy even the name seems wholly inappropriate. How sad an end to what was once my favourite place to dine."

"Very unfriendly staff , ordered a meal for two which took good 30 minutes to arrive, when it did it was bog standard, when asked for some extra salt, small sachet thrown onto table by man who I presume was the owner. As mentioned by previous customer it’s only for local people who just need a drink. Should have noticed no one else was eating. No wonder pubs are closing down."

"Olivia was amazing to work with. Being a first-time investor, I was unsure about the process, but Olivia Carlos guided me through everything. Thanks to her help, I made a profit of $13,500 with just a $1,000 investment. She was also very helpful in coordinating the withdrawal process. I highly recommend Olivia Carlos to anyone looking to start investing. You can reach her at Email: [hidden email] or WhatsApp: +13162028259."

"Went to this pub as it’s within walking distance. Sat outside as a nice evening. Don’t go out much at all as always tired due to getting over bowel cancer. Had a few drinks plus food. The food is very good but very expensive. Prawn cocktail very small for £9.50 and pudding £8.50 but that’s why this place is a treat place not an every day place. We got there just after 6 and left at 8.45 and for a Friday night saw hardly anyone go in or out, think that says it all regards the pricing. Anyway we finished and we always play a game of guessing the price. When we got the bill was abit more than we guessed but thought never mind and my husband can’t see properly without glasses so he paid the bill without me checking. When we got home I re- checked it and we had been over charged for 2 drinks we didn’t have. I had 2 but was charged for 3 and he had 4 but charged for 5! We therefore paid £10.50 more than we should have. He phoned straight away to ask to speak to Miranda the manager but she was too busy apparently, when it was dead and I think that’s extremely unprofessional to not even take our number to get back to us. My husband went up the next day to explain and she acknowledged one drink , mine, was incorrect and said he could have a free drink instead , but alas wouldn’t admit the other drink was wrong, which it was! I was counting drinks for us both and they added £10.50 in for 2 drinks we didn’t have. I’m very angry and upset she wouldn’t admit their wrong doing and personally will never go there again, you spoilt my night out!"

"What a find , after walking round looking for a place to eat that didn't serve all the same food as other places we found Abys , at first we were a little daunted as it was packed , but we liked the menu and decided to try and get a table. We were shown to a table in a side room and the young lady gave us chance to settle before taking our drinks order, she gave us a menu and explained the ordering process. We noticed on entering that they did a full carvery but my granddaughter had already spotted her favourite meal , chicken skewers in pitta , I found my favourite dish , slow cooked belly pork. I have to say the food was exceptional ,it arrived very hot , well presented and it was excellent , full of flavour and a full plate. I highly recommend Abys for really good food ."

"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."

"Living locally and never visited the White Hart before we thought we would give it a try. We saw it was under new management as it seems to have had a chequered past with various managers. Well we were pleasantly surprised pub is great with plenty of space both indoors and out lots with ample parking. Drinks are very reasonable with a good selection but the food was great. Both my wife and I had rump steak which was cooked perfectly, came with all the trimmings which was great. Another customer came in and picked up pizzas which you can takeaway. Will certainly return and recommend, waiting for the Sunday roast to be on the menu, if as good as the steak then we will return with friends/family keep up the good work!!"
"We have visited a few times over the summer including some evening drinks in the pretty beer garden with super countryside views as well an evening meal and a Sunday lunch. The evening meal provided a good choice of hearty pub food. We particularly enjoyed the pie which had been cooked as one large one in a tray and cut up. So tasty! The Sunday lunch was a choice of two roasted meats (as well as a veggie option) which came with proper stuffing, a great choice of vegetables and some good roasties. There were also a couple of other main options other than the roasts. We were so full we couldn't take advantage of one of the deserts which looked good on other tables. Would recommend for a good priced, hearty, home cooked meal with a range of meal choices. Thank you"

"While on holiday for half term, we realized that my partner had misplaced his Barber coat. After calling several places we had visited two weeks prior, we finally contacted the restaurant. The person who answered the phone joked that if we hadn't called, the coat would have been on eBay in a week. When I asked why they didn't contact us when they found it, he simply said he was busy. My partner went to pick up the coat and the man at the restaurant recognized him as the "Barber man" and commented on the coat looking brand new. Needless to say, we were not impressed with the lack of communication and professionalism from the restaurant."

"in a nearby hotel we stayed a thai. only takeaway available. tom yum suppe, die fried chili and basilikum and curry dishes, all Thai sprinkle dishes, were authentic and excellent. no “Dämmen nach Bottom” on spicy content or missing galangal, sacred basilikum, which is often...the case with European exaggerated, probably for cost reasons. no delay in the recommended."

"We were asked to move as soon as we sat down, my green tea was served in a mug and was stewed by the time it arrived. When my husband asked for a brown sugar for his coffee the Waitress produced one packet of white sugar from a pocket in her apron. Meanwhile the couple on the next table sent their coffees and milk back as the milk had gone off, when they had fresh coffee given the lady said to her husband , the milk jug is filthy and picked off crusty bits of something off the rim. This put me off my food before it arrived. When it came, the breakfast was ok but this is not somewhere we will be returning to. A shame as we used to love coming here before it was taken over."

"Had a nice evening here last night. The creamy garlic mushrooms ordered as an appetizer, they were divine. Scampy chips as main. It was so delicious, even the chips were cooked for perfection... Golden, crispy coating and fluffy on the inside! The other half had fish and chips, I jammed some of his muddy peas that were well seasoned and minty. The staff was nice, fast and the whole pub felt clean and friendly. Tomorrow"

"From the minute we walked into the building we were made to feel welcome. Donna greeted us and she was friendly and helpful. The decor is lovely and everything is spotless. David came over to take our drinks order and he too was friendly and welcoming. The menu has a great variety of options available and no matter what food you enjoy there is something to suit. You can see through to the kitchen and it is immaculate, the chefs are obviously happy and produce some absolutely delicious food. The whole experience was fantastic, staff are happy and enhance your time there, atmosphere is great. We have already booked our next visit,."
