Set beside Shaldon’s bowling green, this atmospheric pub offers sunny outdoor seating, a welcoming buzz and food that ranges from genuinely standout to frustratingly under-resourced.

This traditional Shaldon pub has a cozy interior, lively music, and enviable beach-and-estuary seating, with the best tables across the road by the shore.

This characterful country pub combines a historic, community-minded setting with consistently well-regarded breakfasts and generally delicious dinners. Service is usually warm and attentive, though a minority report long waits, cold food, or abrupt treatment. Try: Full English breakfast.
