Restaurants near Sidmouth Beach

We were a family group of six. It was a nice Xmas feeling with the people around us. The food was just ok, some of the group enjoyed all the courses but majority thought it was very average for the money we paid. Service was very good, servers were cheerful and obliging. We did enjoy ourselves and there was plenty to eat. Was it value for money ? Not sure but you have to pay a lot extra when people work on Xmas day.

For Christmas Day the food was not as good as it can be .Too much gravy and the Christmas puddings could have been better .The Turkey was lovely very moist and the attention for the children with hat and crayons and book was lovely. The vegetarian pie was also good.. It was lovely not to have to cook and I am very grateful to everyone for giving up their Christmas So we could we lazy.!

Excellent lunch today. We all had the special Venison. It was tasty and good value for money. If anything it was a bit too big ! Which meant we couldn’t fit dessert in !

Visited the Balfour on Sunday with my wife and with my sister. We each opted for a starter, Sunday roast and a pudding and all three courses were absolutely outstanding. Never been here before but absolutely will come back again. Best roast I have had for years. Decent price, and really good, friendly atmosphere.
