Great pub food, good choices well presented and cooked. Can recommend the fish & chips with mushy peas. Waitress staff was excellent, bar staff not quite so on-the-ball. Ice cream parlour on the front and outside seating if the weather is nice. Had a good evening out here.

If you are looking for a good carvery meal then this is your destination. Really superb carvery and the crowd there on a Tuesday night just shows how well regarded this place is. We didn't book and there was one table left for us.

This is an excellent place to eat. It is located a fair way from the centre of Sidmouth but well worth a visit. We went there twice during our stay and had the carvery both times. It was great. Good choice of tender and well cooked meats with all the trimmings you would want. The menu has a good variety of other things and a good selection of ales. Staff are very friendly and helpful.Lovely review and thank you so much for taking the time to give your opinion. Thank you also for your encouraging comments with regard to our staff they really do appreciate this valuable feedback.With regard to The Bowd Inn famous farmhouse carvery I feel this really does speak for itself but do please try the menu and specials board I believe you will also appreciate the quality here. Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you again when you are again in this glorious part of the country.

Having last visited in 2018 when all the changes were "bedding in" we thought we would give it another try.At 12.35pm on a Friday there were very few customers so we had a vast choice of table.Three staff were visible but no one approached us for our order so after 10-15 minutes my wife set off to the counter and waylaid a waiter who immediatly apologised for the delay.No visible sign of any management.On the plus side we cannot fault the food which was excellent.

Went for dinner in a Friday evening in September, evening menu choice was varied with vegetarian choices, Staff were attentive, service was very good. Food arrived quickly, fish and chips were excellent (but a little too much food!) Only opens on Friday and Saturday evening. We walked in and got a table but probably best to book. I would definitely recommend The Loft.

Visited on a Saturday night in October for a social evening meal with 19 friends in the private room upstairs. Then on the Sunday morning held a club AGM with a buffet lunch for 30. On the Monday night dined here again with friends from Sidmouth. Everything well handled by staff who have the right attitude about service and with a smile. Food really good on all three occasions and super value for money especially catch of the day and the fish & chips. As we are regular visitors to Sidmouth we always have a meal here at least once. Well done and thanks to Jo for giving us a good night.

A Homity pie and salad is a favoutite of mine here, (last 3 years) & nice coffee. A disappointment was the lack of crab on Friday late afternoon, but the prawn sandwich sufficed, though the prawns were only just thawed out!I'm glad you enjoyed the Homity Pie. No one is more disappointed than us when the Crab runs out, it is very popular and it can be a struggle to get just the right amount to meet demand.

Pleasant atmosphere, It's worth climbing the steps which inhibit many elderly customers. A pleasant High Street building. Long ago it was part of a cinema!Very popular with busy people as well as strollers who get attracted by the outdoor tables.Thank you for your review and we're glad you enjoyed your visit. We do have sloped access at the front of the shop that starts by the shop next door, so we are accessible for the elderly who may struggle with steps, wheelchairs & mobility scooters. We hope you will visit again next time you are in Sidmouth : )

We both started with sardines, which were fine.My partner chose hake, and I chose John Dory. Both dishes were accompanied with vegetables and roasted potatoes.Again the dishes were cooked to perfection, but we expected them to have a greater titivation factor.Maybe it was our choices that were the problem.Service impeccable.
