The Blue Ball Inn
The Blue Ball Inn has a history dating back to 1385. a construction of a thatch over cob and flint provides the atmosphere of a bye gone age and a timelessness which is felt when entering this fine old Inn.
In 2006 Blue Ball has been destroyed by a fire and rebuilt exactly how it was in 2007.
Today a new management team accepted the challenge to raise up again the Blue Ball at its well known higher level.
Refreshed and refurbished, Blue Ball is ready to open its gate to all our lovely guests, communities and travelling people.
Lovely accommodations, warm restaurant with nice atmosphere and lovely food, bars, garden, function room, live music and so much coming up...!
The only way to believe us is to go ahead with your booking! Come to visit us and you will never regret!
Enjoy Blue Ball!

Staff were very friendly, it’s a very enjoyable location, it feels very welcoming. A definite plus are the gas heaters.
We are all a bit disappointed that the service was so slow, in our opinion was there not enough staff. That meant that we had to wait a very long time to order and by the time it was our turn, all the nice things were gone 🙂!
We had a very nice evening and will definitely give it another chance!
Good to see the Blue Ball back to a good standard. Hope to see some continuity along these lines!
We got engaged that day and were treated to free Prosecco (and nosecco for the one driving!). We felt so treated. Very kind gesture and looking forward to going back again soon!
Great to be back. New management. New menu. It was just a bit too cold to really relax as New heaters weren't hooked up. Few hiccups with bits of service. To be expected with new staff and everything else. Steak and ale pie was fab!! Can't wait to get inside.
Nice to be back nice staff and reliable food, outside is fine, best to book
For obvious reasons we had to sit outside, and it was very cold. Blankets were provided which was a god send.
The food is no longer pub food. this food is restaurant standard. We were pleasantly suprised. just what Sidmouth needs.
Staff wonderful too.
Im about to re book
We had a meal for 5 outside.
The service was great, welcoming and friendly.
The food was delicious.
We will be back.
Really cold evening with no blankets or heaters and waited for about 1hr until given any food. Pretty poor experience.
