We love it here; the staff are attentive and so thoughtful. The pizza makers even kindly chat to my irrepressibly upbeat daughter about this, that and the other! A stellar team and the food is stand out. A firm favourite and for good reason. Well done Karolina and Cal for running an excellent food floor 😁🌼 ~Caroline

We arrived earlier than our table was booked for as we were travelling from Shropshire to Cornwall and had no problems on M5. It was not a problem. Excellent service, fabulous food, amazing service. Attention to detail by all working was exceptional. Highly recommend…. Thank you all your hospitality.

About the restaurant

The Kings Arms lies deep in the heart of the East Devon countryside. We’re surrounded by wonderful local farmers and growers, and we aim to make the most of this by using locally-produced ingredients whenever possible. Our meat is sourced from our nearby family farm, and most of our fish is supplied by our very own fleet of fishing boats.

Here at the Kings Arms, we serve a varied, locally-sourced menu, with breakfast, lunch and dinner all available in the bar, conservatory and outdoor terraces. We will happily accommodate different dietary requirements, with friendly and informal table service wherever you choose to sit.

Sidmouth

About the restaurant

A resplendent thatched-roof Inn, located in the heart of Devon, two miles from the coastal town of Sidmouth. With eight recently renovated rooms, the Blue Ball is a snuggly, seaside treat of a place. Locally sourced seafood specials are the order of the day, supplied by renowned Cornish fishmonger Flying Fish, coupled with a well-stocked bar of real ales, liveners & pick me ups! Our cosy corners, eccentric finishing touches and curiosities make for quite the venerable experience. Only heightened by our splendid rear garden which promises to provide a welcome haven.

Amazing roast dinner and dessert. Beef tenderest we’ve ever tasted, plenty of veg and roasties, gravy was flavoursome. Sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble tart were exceptionally tasty! Service prompt, polite and spot on. Surroundings are wonderful with fresh flowers on the table and cleanliness to a high standard. Thank you to the chef for their attention to quality and the very generous servings! Highly recommended and will return shortly.
