The Smugglers - North Devon

This place is really atmosphereic with lots of fascinating objects to look at as well as enjoy the food and drink too. I rhightly recomend the steak kidney pie (not thqt i'm biased or anythingXD)

What a place! It's like an explosion in an antiques shop. Everywhere you look there's something unusual displayed on the walls or ceiling. Good strategy for the summer months too, they don't take bookings so you'll see a queue forming when they open at 5pm, thereby creating its own demand. My roast turkey dinner was very nice with a huge portion of meat, we all enjoyed our meals and service, considering they were busy, was pretty prompt. Would recommend, deserves its reputation.

Avoid the fish pie. There's very little fish, or leek, and a huge mass of mashed potato, accompanied, confusingly by more potato in the guise of either boiled potatoes, or chips. I'm glad I chose chips, they were good, but chips have no place on a plate with a fish pie!

Very busy. Great service and seemed very efficient. However hubby's steak was tough. My fish platter was nothing special. To be honest felt a bit like a food production line which given how busy it was can't be surprising. Real character interior. Maybe we just chose the wrong time of day.

Ate early evening. Fish n chips, seafood platter. Foot reasonably quality, staff friendly. Probably overpriced for what is on offer. You are paying for the harbour side location. Not much quality competition close by so easy money imho
