Visited The Smugglers for a family of five for an evening meal 1 April 2024. Was a terrible experience from the moment we sat down and the waitress came over.  She said I hope you have had a nice day whilst I am stuck working on a bank holiday. She took the drinks order, came back with the drinks and asked who had ordered the Offshore as it was so difficult to carry. I said it was mine to which she replied “I hate you don’t order another one”. One drink had to go back as it had a fly in it. She then tried to take the food order and this is when we found out the specials board was off and tried to order from the main menu to discover two of us could not have their chosen meal as it was off the menu. When the food arrived it was at best just average.  The Brie bites were overcooked on the outside and still hard on the inside. The Ultimate burger now just comes with just a small dish of coleslaw and fries, with no tomato on the burger. The all day breakfast now does not come with chips. Whilst two of were still eating she returned to clear the other plates, ask if we wanted dessert and put out the menus again. She had to be told to return when everyone had finished. Two of us ordered dessert which was ok. However when the waitress returned and asked what I thought of the Seaton mess I said it was ok to which she replied “yes I know what you mean it’s not how I would make it, how they make it here”. A terrible experience and mediocre food for a bill of £130. We have eaten at The Smugglers several times over the last few years but after yesterday’s experience will only ever go for a drink here in future and will eat elsewhere.

Mediocre food and terrible service

We have eaten here before,we are local so came back for lunch today.  Last time sat in the restaurant area, very nice and good food. 
But today ,asked for a table away from dogs and were told this was not guaranteed as whole pub is dog friendly. Even allowing dogs on the chairs!!
Definitely not going again
We Went onto another
Local,very busy pub 
And had a lovely lunch in their dog free area.

OK if you like dogs not if you don't

The Smugglers hosted the wedding reception for my brother and sister in law and I cannot recommend this place enough! All of the staff were so lovely and friendly, nothing was too big of an ask, and they all went above and beyond to make the day and night so special. All the staff interacted brilliantly with the children there as well which was so lovely to see. 

The food was incredible! Perfect selection of canopes, a carvery for our main which was hands down the best roast I’ve ever had (with all the trimmings), the best selection of desserts, and so much cheese and crackers - we will definitely be going back for more! 

The venue itself was stunning. The perfect size for a big party but still maintaining a cosy country feel. It has honestly exceeded our expectations and I know the bride and groom (as well as everyone else that I’ve spoken to) feels the same. Thank you so much to everyone at The Smuggler’s - it truly was the most perfect day and you will be seeing a lot more of us in the future!

Amazing!

We popped in for post walk drink and snack unfortunately we really regretted it we had a toddler and a dog, a teenager and 2 adults the only one we'll treated was our dog. This would have been lovely but everything was rude and  abrupt. They weren't busy particularly. The sign entering says wait to be seated- we did- lots of looks from staff until I asked if we should find a table. 'Yes- and order at the bar!' Very abrupt signs everywhere saying waitress service etc- no problem. We were almost immediately reprimanded for having taken wet wellies off the toddler- not in a nice way 'if they don't put them on you have to leave- health and safety'..... food had been ordered by this stage. Food arrived Coltishall chips- very very weird and expensive veggie loaded fries and a bacon and egg roll minus the egg. We asked about it- they went back to the till to check or something similar- obviously the staff couldn't make a mistake was the feeling and we were being difficult... it was returned sorted quickly. The chips were cold- the loaded ones greasy and weird (what it said on the menu tbh but just not how you might imagine it) portions were tiny and expensive and everyone felt a little sick after eating from the grease. We left passing all of the staff- we hadn't been difficult not a single on said thank you for custom or even acknowledged. It's the off season, we're local trying to support local. None of us will go back. (Well the dog might!)

Rude unless you're a dog then 5 star!

We had a meal there today. The quality of the food was great, the prices were very reasonable and the portion size was surprisingly large for a restaurant. The staff were very polite and welcoming. Will definitely be visiting again.

Ladies that lunch

Had a fabulous meal here this week.  Staff couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming, even to our dog!   The food was delicious, had the Thai Fishcakes special, yummy and definitely home made, not the bland objects you see in some places!!  Drinks were cold, food was hot, couldn't ask for more!  Oh, and love the decor!! 

Perfect beach-side pub!

We sat outside ( lovely day) but my friends are disabled & as they only have benches that we can't get onto, we asked for chairs which was greeted with ' tutting/ if you must' attitude!Ordered 3 Teas & got 3 pots/ mugs/ jugs of Milk ( asked for one cup) : when I poured the Tea & added the Milk it was quite obviously off!! Got a replacement but not the pot of Tea that had already been used...
Ordered CHIPS & got those skinny fries, plus children's Ham ( not available!) so had Sausages, CHIPS & Peas: again, served those skinny fries even though the menu CLEARLY STATES CHIPS , which they refused to change to proper chips ' because the kids meals comes with skinny fries'!!
We order kids meals on a very regular basis when we get to eat out & it's standard procedure to ASK the adults ordering kids meals if they want fries or CHIPS, & we always opt for the latter because we are not children & the skinny fries are not nice..The condiments ( I.E. sauce etc) we're on a table outside on a very hot day: NOT the way to store food of any sort! They couldn't even work out that I we were all paying separately so that had to be explained carefully..The main courses are ridiculously expensive & NO, we will never be going back there again! Outside tables were very grubby, as seems to be the case in a lot of venues: its not particularly difficult to wash them down...No-one wants to be sat at a table that's sticky & just filthly with other people's food & drink: not good enough!!

Staff surly/ unhelpful/ don't listen!!!

Lovely pub with friendly staff from the minute you walk in nothing is to much trouble food came out at a reasonable time and very tasty I had fish pie and hubby had hunters chicken and a apple and blackberry crumble with clotted cream for dessert will definitely come back when on holiday.

Lovely pub

Fantastic carvery lunch ! 
Well worth a visit - lovely woodland walk right next to it to stretch your legs after and it’s  located right beside the beach - what more could you want lol 
A full menu available every day - lots of choice 

The Best Carvery  

Completely random choice on holiday but wow what a good choice! Turned up to a busy pub but with plenty of inside seating. The main reason we picked this place was it was dog friendly according to Google.  The pub was clean, staff quickly attentive and we were super impressed they even had a doggy section on the menu which included a free bowl of water at the table and desert options for the dog. It’s hard to go out for food as a dog owner sometimes when camping but the team made it a pleasure(normally resigned to eating in the pub garden)! The food when it arrived was delicious and good portion sizes for what you pay. The dog was overjoyed with his sausage meal as well. 

Thank you so much for an incredible meal. If you have a dog 100% worth the visit, if you don’t the foods worth the visit on its own.
