"Visited here today to give them a second chance as on a previous occasion it was so awful we had a refund because it was inedible, so this time ordered a simple cream tea thinking they can 't muck up a cream tea.wrong ! The actual place itself is a dream with amazing views very spacious etc so it 's hard to resist going in but the food is dreadful they really need a proper chef. Cream tea came out with two seperate pots of cream and jam with one scone each and a huge teapot for two. The teapot was really cheap and dirty with stains and a massively wide spout so every time you poured it the tea went all over the table a teapot needs a slim spout to avoid this.The cream had been stored in a freezer maybe? so was solid and rock hard like frozen ice cream so impossible to spread and as we attempted to spread it on the the scone (which was very crumbly anyway) broke into a million pieces .The the mess on the table from the spilt tea and the now mashed up scone from the frozen cream was ridiculous. Inedible again. On a previous visit we ordered an English breakfast it came out charcoaled and burnt to a crisp it was inedible,the sausage was dark brown and crispy the bacon was dark brown and as hard as a rock both dripping in grease.When we complained and asked for a refund the dark haired middle aged lady at the counter was very nervous and said ' 'oh the chef burns everything because he is sick of people asking for crispy bacon so he burns everything on purpose now ' ' Really ?"

"I had read about the Chichester Arms via accommodation info as I was visiting Bishops Taunton the North Devon area for a holiday. As this pub was conveniently located on the same road to where I was staying. I popped in confirmed dogs were allowed asked whether a booking was needed in order to eat, I was advised booking was advisable but there was availability for that evening depending on the time I intended to eat. I was flexible with my timings so was happy to take a table knowing it was booked from 7.30pm so there was time for me to eat and vacate it before the booked time. I came back approx 40 mins after my initial enquiry was shown to the back section of the pub where it seemed most tables were set for larger groups but was happy to have a table free. On looking at the main course menu, there was an extensive choice available but only 2 vegetarian options. I asked my server about both of these and decided to chose the veggie chilli. There were no extras on the specials board as noted 1 shown as Spinach Ricotta cannelloni but this was the other dish already listed in the mains section so no additional veggie options for choice. The chosen meal was tasty enough but I feel there could have been more of the actual chilli as it felt like a bowl of nachos with melted cheese, 2 servings of salsa, 1 serving of sour cream and guacamole and then the chilli in the middle. Although there was no issue with the service, I think the options for vegetarians should be widened and re-consider the balance on a meal like the one I chose as not convinced it was worth the price for what was mainly nacho crisps with a few toppings, it’s possible the spinach and ricotta cannelloni may have been better value for money. I was grateful that this pub was dog friendly and that I could be accommodated and have a reasonable meal of sorts after a long drive to North Devon without having to venture further a field on my first day in the area. My overall rating is boosted by the service as had that not been welcoming, I would have said my visit was ‘average’"
