About this restaurant

  • Dog-friendly
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Kid-friendly
Nestling beside Seaton green and just 50 yards from the beach, The Smugglers Inn is a family and dog friendly pub that prides itself on offering a traditional selection of classic pub fayre, cooked by our enthusiastic team of chefs, using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.

Along with the classics, we have a continually updated Specials Board where our chefs love to show their flare and creativity.

The highlight of our culinary week is undoubtedly our Sunday Carvery. Routinely described by our regular customers as ‘The best roast in the area’, with a selection of 4 roast meats, crispy roast potatoes, an amazing selection of 7 vegetables, plus homemade Yorkshire puddings and gravy, it is a truly sumptuous feast to end your week!

Vegetarians are also well catered for, with many of our dishes available with a vegetarian option, including our carvery which comes with TWO homemade vegetarian choices – a delicious nut roast and a vegan lentil roast.

    We had duck with blackberry sauce. There were plenty of beautifully cooked green veg which was great and the roasted new potatoes were lovely. The duck was a bit too tough although tasty and once we had steak knives a bit easier to cut up. Staff were really friendly but a large table ahead of us meant we had to wait longer than we were expecting to get our dinner. Beer was good.

    Lovely touch with anniversary card and dressed table. Food did not disappoint but unfortunately hubby had a carvery which didn’t take as long so by the time my meal came it had almost finished his! Lovely staff, really friendly and happy to assist. It was so good we have booked to go again 😃
