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 love the smugglers, it is welcoming, the staff are very friendly and you can take the dog in. Great choice of food and it is delicious. We ate there every day at lunchtime during our stay in Seaton.

    Carvery pork ok but beef awful. Paper thin and pink. Hard to cut up. Wont be visiting any time soon. My partner left all her beef. No thick cuts of beef like at another establishment we visit.
    The Smugglers InnResponded on March 31, 2025
    We cook our beef medium rare, this is how the vast majority of our customers prefer it. It is very evident on the carvery deck that it IS rare, and there is a choice of 3 other meats if you prefer your beef cooked another way. If had of spoken to the carver (they are all very friendly), they will happily slice your meat how you wished, but our default is relatively thin slicing, again matching most of our customers preference. They would even cut your beef from the thinner, well done end of the joint if you ask.
