About The Sidmouth Arms

The Sidmouth Arms is a pub in Upottery, 5 miles from Honiton, where dogs are welcome inside and the menu includes a Dogs Dinner of 2 sausages for them. They can join their owners in the main bar and the Otter Room, and a field next to the pub gives them room for a walk. The kitchen serves small plates and larger mains, with a dessert board to finish. Sandwiches at lunch come with coleslaw, crisps and salad. Otter beers, brewed locally, are poured at the bar, and a private dining room takes groups. The menu items shown online are samples, so the pub's website carries the current menu.

Customer Review Summary

Sandwiches come up most, described by reviewers as huge and delicious, with one calling it the best pub sandwich they have had. Close behind are the lemon sole, crayfish, chicken, sausage and mash, and a mixed berry cheesecake, along with a dessert board with a good range of options. Diners repeatedly mention friendly, efficient staff, a warm welcome even when busy, and a dog-friendly setup, including a Dogs Dinner of two sausages and a field next door for walks. One reviewer notes good handling of a wheat allergy, and another says a group of eight found every dish excellent. A few find the bar area short on coziness, and one says it gets loud when full. The one clearly negative visit came on an afternoon stop, where a lasagne arrived in a pie bowl and was overcooked, and the chips seemed to have sat warm for hours and were barely edible, though the ham, egg, salad and garlic bread were liked. The bartender removed the drinks from that bill.

    “Food and service was amazing. Lovely venue too, though a little on the loud side when full if anyone is hard of hearing. 8 of us and every dish ordered was tip notch!”
  • Keith Cooper
    “Our first visit. Stopped for lunch and far exceeded our expectations. Excellent food, we choose generous sized small plates and sandwiches, but there are plenty of enticing larger mains. The quality of the food was exceptional. And Ruby served my fiance and me efficiently and courteously. Excellent in every respect.”
  • Ruth Sawyer
    “We ate here two nights whilst staying at otter falls and both evenings the food was delicious, brilliant service and a warm welcome. The atmosphere was only down to 4 as it lacked a little “coziness” in the bar area. Otherwise a great pub and delicious food”
  • Jackie Cullen
    “Another fantastic visit on route from Cornwall. We went for lunch on Saturday. Plenty of inside and outside spaces to dine. . Dog friendly. I ordered my dog a Dogs Dinner, 2 sausages. We had the chicken, sausage and mash, lemon sole and crayfish and a mixed berry cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Staff are all lovely and efficient. Toilets are very clean and on the ground floor. Field next to the pub to walk our dog.”
