Beer Head Bistro — Restaurant in East Devon

Fee- fi - fo - fum!

We visited, the ‘Beer Head’ Bistro this week, not once, not twice, but thrice! These return visits were due to the very well curated menu, the quality of the food, the attentive, polite staff and the portions!

If you want good, value for money food, you simply can’t go wrong here. The seafood sharing platter in particular, was delicious, well cooked, well presented and bloody HUGE!!!

The atmosphere, smiley faces, and team spirit within the kitchen and service staff is evident from the moment you turn up! It seemed like a ‘very well run ship!’

While we were eating outside in the sunshine, doing a bit of ‘people watching’ we noticed several famous families, celebrities and renowned film stars coming and going.

King Kong and his wife Kate ordered the ribs. I overheard them comment on how delicious they were. Needless to say, they demolished them!

Godzilla trudged from the sea with his wife Gabbyzilla and their four kids. They ordered the seafood sharing platter and were offered a prize of a Snickers if they managed to finish it! They failed and left half a goujon and a few crayfish tails.. But the staff gave ‘em the prize anyway! Not to mention boxing the leftovers for them!

The Jolly green giant even walked in with his tinder date….. The 50ft woman… They’re both vegetarians and ordered a Greek Salad each. Both commented that they were ‘stuffed!’ afterwards. I heard they drank the place dry before leaving and left a huge tip, so there’s a testament if ever I’ve heard one!

Wish we could leave 10 stars xx ❤️✌🏼👌🏼👊🏻

We had a fry up however, and it was jolly delicious, with thick cut bacon, and local sausages. One little gripe is that they put the beans in a small glass bowl on the plate, but to me this seems to "sterilise" the meal, and it would be better served with the other parts. Just my opinion however. The staff are very lovely, engaging, funny and friendly but above all efficient. There's an older, middle aged waitress who is absolutely brilliant and we always say hi when we visit. I do think it perhaps needs better advertising of its presence however, as I've been locally for nearly 15 years and have only just found it. Pity, because it's wonderful and I would have...

Lovely food here but this has been spoilt by our recent visit. Went to place an order for a takeaway and we were told they were not doing them. Friday evening and you would think that was a given. We were informed they are that busy, they have to concentrate on the people in the restaurant. It would have been courteous to perhaps put a sign in the window. I must say, the main lady here really does need to improve her customer service skills, as was found to be very rude. We had planned our evening around this, so you can imagine our frustration. Some very disappointed customers, who had previously praised the place,...
