A charming coastal pub nestled along the esplanade of the Devonshire town of Sidmouth.
Our outside dining is the perfect oasis for any passing visitor or returning local to take in views of the beautiful Jurassic coast.

Initially we were surprised not to find a Sunday roast on being offered, but the explanation that early season means that they can't guarantee not to have wasted meats made absolute sense! There was such a great choice of fish on the specials board it made it difficult. As it happened all 4 of us chose the trio of fish and we were not disappointed - the fish was perfect as was the accompanying veg - simply delicious!
All in all a terrific experience - we will be returning!!

We initially ate here for lunch which was so nice we decided to return for the evening meal. Starters were huge well worth the money prawn and crayfish cocktail was very fresh and the calamari was so good and plenty on the plate. We were not disappointed with the mains either, very good value for money steak was done as requested and the Hake was really tasty. If I was in Salcombe again would definitely return.

We had a lovely meal at The Marine for my son’s 18th Birthday.
It was quiet in the restaurant as it was a cold Monday night, but the barman/waiter was brilliant and more than made up for it.
The food was delicious and really huge portions - which is great with 2 hungry teenagers to feed.
The barman even brought out the cake singing Happy Birthday- it was brilliant!
Thanks for a lovely evening!
