About this restaurant

  • Dog-friendly
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Kid-friendly
Nestling beside Seaton green and just 50 yards from the beach, The Smugglers Inn is a family and dog friendly pub that prides itself on offering a traditional selection of classic pub fayre, cooked by our enthusiastic team of chefs, using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.

Along with the classics, we have a continually updated Specials Board where our chefs love to show their flare and creativity.

The highlight of our culinary week is undoubtedly our Sunday Carvery. Routinely described by our regular customers as ‘The best roast in the area’, with a selection of 4 roast meats, crispy roast potatoes, an amazing selection of 7 vegetables, plus homemade Yorkshire puddings and gravy, it is a truly sumptuous feast to end your week!

Vegetarians are also well catered for, with many of our dishes available with a vegetarian option, including our carvery which comes with TWO homemade vegetarian choices – a delicious nut roast and a vegan lentil roast.

    Lovely touch with anniversary card and dressed table. Food did not disappoint but unfortunately hubby had a carvery which didn’t take as long so by the time my meal came it had almost finished his! Lovely staff, really friendly and happy to assist. It was so good we have booked to go again 😃

    The carvery was excellent as usual. I’d requested a quiet table as I had two dogs with me and it was ideal. The staff even put a personal bowl of water down for the dogs

    Disappointing. Doom Bar was fine. We ordered fish and chips and the Pie of the Day, Lamb and Mint. Meals arrived promptly. Unfortunately, the pie was Chicken and Leek. The waitress had not realised but as soon as asked what it was said Oh, it was Lamb and MInt wasnt it? Not sure how you could confuse the two but the question is where did it come from if Lamb was pie of the day? Asked if I wanted it replaced but as there would be a delay, I accepted the Chicken which was very good. The accompanying chips were not hot and had a reheated texture whilst the peas were tasteless. They offered to deduct price of our two drinks which was fair enough. Fish and chips were ok but worth 34 pds for two meals, questionable Staff pleasant, good location .

    We love the smugglers, it is welcoming, the staff are very friendly and you can take the dog in. Great choice of food and it is delicious. We ate there every day at lunchtime during our stay in Seaton.
