"So happy we have found that place! Absolutely delicious food! It's all so fresh and cooked to perfection. The owners and team are lovely. Our meal was a true highlight of our few days stay in Sidmouth. We are thinking we might come back just to this restaurant again. It will absolutely worth two hours drive. Thank you!

"Dukes is a large eaterie that we discovered on the Friday of our long weekend in Sidmouth. We booked in for Sunday lunch roasts available) but chose instead a couple of bowls of salt, chilli and ginger squid. The squid were predominantly whole baby squid and mighty good with the ginger and soy dipping sauce. A nice addition would have been a wedge of lemon and a sweet chilli dip, more akin to the chilli and spring onion garnish. We followed this with traditional battered cod and chips and a fish pie. Both were good choices but i would like to have seen a greater variety of fish in my pie, rather than just salmon and white fish..some prawns and monkfish for example as the dish was a little pricey at £19. 4 Guys non alco IPA and a cola brought the bill to a slightly expensive £66. The service was however good. Automatic service charging is NOT protocol in Sidmouth as a whole, so my £7 cash tip offering was gratefully recieved by our proficient server. Sidmouth is a very dog friendly village and as such, be prepared to eat alongside our well behaved canine friends."

"We visited Sidmouth on 19th July with my wife's god-daughter and her sister. Having spent some time on the beach we wanted to have a meal and The Mocha was right in front of us so we decided to eat there. The menu said that they were serving up to 3pm and we went in at 2.50 so we all quickly made our choices and I went up to the counter to order, arriving at 2.55. There was one elderly gentleman in front of me buy a coffee. However the server seemed to be having some trouble making the order and then the gentleman had some issues making his payment resulting in my arrival at the counter at 3.01, literally 3.01, one minute past 3pm, only to be told they weren't taking any more food orders as it was past 3pm. I argued that I had been in the queue for six minutes and that I would have ordered before 3pm if they hadn't taken so long to sort one coffee order out but to no avail. The member of staff in question was very abrupt to the point of being rude and it was quite clear she could not be bothered to take our order as other staff were dashing around clearing tales and it may have resulted in the staff having to wait for us to finish our meal before they could close up. If they are not going to accept orders up to 3pm then they shouldn't state this on the menu and I have never been in a restaurant or cafe where they refuse to take an order which would have exceeded £60 after I had joined a queue before the closing time. They are lucky they can afford to turn away over £60's worth of business. The customer service here was zero and would not recommend visiting a place where the staff are so rude or so unhelpful."

"A couple from my coach holiday came here and liked it, so I decided to try this restaurant for lunch and I'm so glad I did! It's a short walk up the High Street from the seafront and main shopping area. A cosy little place with lovely traditional decor, a banquette with cushions in the window, and a little courtyard at the back. Even the ladies loo was nicely decorated in pink, and it was very clean. The atmosphere was easy going and friendly, and obviously family and dog friendly too. Although the restaurant was almost full, the owner made me feel really welcome and found room for me on a nice table near the window. The menu offered a good and varied choice of starters, sharing platters and mains as well as lighter meals and sandwiches, and they serve alcoholic as well as the usual hot and cold drinks. Lots of vegetarian/vegan options. Ordered a jacket potato with goat's cheese and mushrooms, served with dressed salad and coleslaw, and a pot of tea. The salad was fresh, the potato well cooked, and the filling was so delicious! Generous portions too. Could not fault the prompt and friendly service. Very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and would come here again!"

"Very unfriendly staff , ordered a meal for two which took good 30 minutes to arrive, when it did it was bog standard, when asked for some extra salt, small sachet thrown onto table by man who I presume was the owner. As mentioned by previous customer it’s only for local people who just need a drink. Should have noticed no one else was eating. No wonder pubs are closing down."
