If you like to watch live sports then this is the place for you…read more There are loads of screens and there is always some event being shown. Loads of football games spread across the various screens. Plenty of seating too. There are tons of pool and snooker tables for you to practice if you have the urge.

I had no idea this restaurant was here so I felt I needed to add it to Yelp and let others know…read morethis place exists. The Rake & Riddle caters for everyone with a tidy sized restaurant, sports bar and cafe. There is an outdoor seating area and play area for the kids. With a tidy sized car park to the rear. I had the mixed grill, which was cooked perfectly, and my wife had the Gammon which she thoroughly enjoyed. The chips that came with both are cooked just like regular chip shop chips, which is a major plus from us. The price is comparable with similar restaurants and I felt the portions were good value for the money.

Upstairs there is a bar, a darts board, toilets, a pool table and seating for you to sit and watch live sporting events on the big TVS that they have. Downstairs there is another bar which you can get cocktails from the pricing of the drinks are very reasonable. There is also more seating, toilets and a small dance floor. The music that is played there is up to date. It can get quite busy on weekend but having two bars is good as you don't normally have to queue for long. I find that overall the bar has a good friendly atmosphere
Bertie O'Flannigan's is an "Irish Pub" in central Newquay (in between bus stops Post Office and…read moreGreat Western Hotel, but closer to the former). It's a nice pub, with a friendly atmosphere and a comfy, discreet outer seating area to the front (a bit removed from the street) - only, it's not much of an IRISH pub. You can get Guinness - Duh! - but that's about it. When I asked for Kilkenny at the bar - it drew a blank. All the other beers here are English! That's very peculiar for a place that calls itself an "Irish Pub" - and in very big letters on the front! So, while the pub itself is plesant, quite stylish and very comfy with its darkened interior, lovers of Irish beer will be gravely disappointed. Some Irish spirits however are available. Staff were nice and polite.

What can I say? Pleasantly surprised! Reasonably priced varied menu and huge portions! I can't say I would enjoy it personally during a big footie match etc - I would imagine it gets quite noisy and boisterous but if I was into sports then this would be the place I'd go! Huge TV screens and a relaxed atmosphere. Quite a few pool tables and from the glimpse of the beer garden I did see, it looked quite nice.

I think the beers were £2.10 a pint; I'm now used to London prices, so this was a real pleasure.

Having been to the UK 2x before, I was still waiting to be wowed by any of the food. So this 3rd…read moretrip was a holiday in Devon with my lady. Our cottage in Chulmleigh had a brief paragraph about the Masons Arms and mentioned it was Michelin's 2010 Pub of the Year. Off we went. Stopped by in the afternoon to make reservations for that evening. Enjoyed a nice Cotleigh Tawny bitter while we perused the menu ahead of time. We were delighted with our options from starter to dessert. Couldn't wait for the evening! We arrived for dinner and ordered a drink at the bar. The place is very cozy and staff professional - smiles all around. They are all happy to be there and it really makes the place enjoyable. The Masons Arms was one of my favorite dinner experiences ever. We were brought into a comfy side room with our drinks and handed the menus to review while we munched on complimentary olives, etc. A few minutes later we placed our orders and were left to conversation - which was essentially wondering what would be happening next. The waitress came back and brought us to our little table along the window - where our wine and starter were brought almost as soon as we sat down. Interesting and effective way to do things. Is that common over in the UK? Who cares! Starters: I had the smoked haddock leek and potato soup and she had the chicken liver parfait with chili jam and brioche toast. Both were just sooo astonishingly good. Main: I had the John Dory with clams, butter beans and chive ravioli. Delicious but I think I liked her prosciutto-wrapped monkfish loin with creamed potato in an orange/balsamic sauce. We couldn't stop talking about how good they were. Dessert: We ordered the roasted pineapple pannacotta and the special - chocolate ganache with lime jelly. Both were good and a great end to a great meal. I am not big on sweets but a good dark chocolate hits the spot every time - and the special was really nice. The triangles of lime jelly were a pleasant and delicious surprise, as I didn't think I would care for them. Overall - great meal. Great meal worth every penny - on the high side but well worth it. Of course, we might have gone overboard but it was our holiday! Service was excellent - not one of those places where staff comes by so often it's annoying. They were attentive at just the right times. I will certainly be back should I ever venture anywhere near the Masons Arms again. Great job Mark, Sarah and staff!

However this is where the positives end. One thing that came across was it was so unwelcoming. Maybe that's why we were the only two in.

That request went down like a lead balloon. Actually, not going any further with this review as this is a pub I need to put into the back of my mind.

Got talking to the chef and he was tempting me to try his American ribs with his handmade BBQ sauce next time. Friendly staff, real ales on tap and nice food makes this a great place. Recommended.

I've certainly paid more for lesser fare than this! I would heartily recommend anybody who finds themselves in the Barnstaple area check this place out!
