I think this is seriously my favourite pub in the whole world!
The atmosphere, the beer, the food, the couple who run run (The Steadmans), all the other staff, the village it's situated in....well they're all excellent.
I can't wait to go back!

The Journeys End Inn, Ringmore
This is a fine little pub which is well worth a stroll to from nearby Bigbury on Sea or Challaborough. Was great to find a relaxed, not too busy pub and a hot summer's Saturday afternoon when the nearby resorts are so busy. Food seemed good and the beer garden is a real bonus when the weather is good.

Food is excellent and no complaints about the beer. Not a particularly atmospheric pub though and does show footy and big screens.

Bit rough and ready, but a nice small inn, handy if you're staying at the Blossoms hotel. Friendly staff and decent beer.

Great little boozer this one. Tucked away on the upper tier of Eastgate Row, the pub retains much of the original 17th century structure and character. Didn't try the food so can't comment on it but the booze was fine, although mostly only Samual Smith even down to the diet cola.

Fantastic little seaside pub. Attractive from the outside and cosy on inside, the pub allows dogs, has a good menu with several vegetarian options, the proprietors and staff were really friendly and the beer was good. Also has a beer garden (which the weather didn't allow us to sample) or a log fire if it's cold.

The food was reasonable. This is the good point. Unfortunately I experienced biased towards locals/residents when seating for the restaurant, rude service from the proprietors and staff, over bearing locals making it obvious it is a 'locals' pub, and not particularly well kept beer. Above all this was the refusal to allow us to order off their bar snacks menu (finishes at 5pm, we asked at 7.30), which is fair enough, only to then watch a local punter arrive and order off it under our very noses. If you are staying in Lynton, unlucky as the only other option is The Globe which didn't look too inviting from the outside, whilst The Queens was shut. I suggest getting down to Lynmouth, in particular The Village Inn.

Good pub this with a new menu and decent booze and atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit
