The Welcome Inn Dawlish Warren

Thankfully not too far up the steep hill lol. Walked in and the place is tidy clean and well laid out. There's a seating area for food n drinks, then the public bar then there's the one with the pool table, slot machine etc in and then a Garden out back and Patio out front, So this pub caters for all types of peoples tastes. The Beer is well kept and the staff know what they're doing. Service is friendly and polite and quick too. Ordered some food, bit of a wait but that shows it's mainly cooked to order to each table. The menu is small ish so that means a better quality in the end result. I ordered the Fish Platter and the wife ordered one of the Burgers, reasonably priced, but my dish was more like a Fish Taster and not a Platter, there should've been more scampi and white bait on there, but hey ho. So all in all this is a Pub that I'd visit again if I'm staying locally as this pub did what the sign on the front says, welcome inn. Just a small note if the Landlord reads this, Sammie one of the staff from the Golden Sands Recommended you, think she deserves a little thankyou lol

Since a change in owners, the welcome Inn has been transformed from a average hostelry to a first class pub that lives up to its name all year round. Gone are the days when it would be just a man and a dog, outside the holiday season. The pub staff are friendly and helpful. The food is really good and the Sunday roast all locally sourced and delicious.

What a lovely evening we had tonight! A warm welcome, a tempting menu and a lovely ambience. We spent the last evening of our holiday in this fab pub and had a fabulous time. Not being a local, I don’t know what it was like before it was under new management - all I can say is that I heartily recommend it for an evening meal. All dishes were freshly made, piping hot and presented very well. I don’t have a bad word to say about the place. Thank you for a memorable evening 😊

The best meal by far of all the restaurants we’ve visited during our stay in Dawlish. Excellent service, even specially accommodating for fussy toddlers! All eight meals we ordered were faultless, delicious, very high quality food. Also an imaginative menu using local produce, generous portions and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Went here Sunday 27th May with my girlfriend. We didn't book but the manager Julie gave squeezed us in but told us we'd have to be off the table within an hour which we were. The carvery was absolutely amazing a immense selection of vegetables the staff and manager were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely would go here again but would definitely book next time.

New owners/management/Staff, well done!!! I went in last minute with my wife & daughter on Easter Sunday, we were catered for on this busy day & had a delicious meal (I had Madras curry with half rice & half thick potato wedges, lovely) Even the young lady staff member taking 5 minutes to have her own evening meal, jumped up to grab my daughter a drink of water from the bar as the staff were busy. Much appreciated. Many thanks.
