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.

    Great food and very friendly and efficient staff. Ideal to have such a great place so close to the beach to come in after a dog walk where dogs are so welcome.

    What can I say. Possibly the best carvery we’ve ever had. Plenty of meat, the nicest potatoes and lots of choice of veg. As for the Yorkshire pudding, well was massive! Can’t comment on desserts as too full to have one! Staff are always lovely here.
