New Seasonal Flavours
Our chefs have been busy cooking up some new dishes to see in the new season and have created the perfect dishes to say hello to the darker nights including pulled lamb shepherd’s pie, king prawn Vietnamese curry and a very tasty wild venison pie.
Not forgetting those autumnal desserts, we can’t get enough of our latest apple & frangipane strudel with lashings of custard.

WELCOME TO THE BLUE BALL
A resplendent thatched-roof Inn, located in the heart of Devon, two miles from the coastal town of Sidmouth. With eight recently renovated rooms, the Blue Ball is a snuggly, seaside treat of a place.
Locally sourced seafood specials are the order of the day, supplied by renowned Cornish fishmonger Flying Fish, coupled with a well-stocked bar of real ales, liveners & pick me ups!
Our cosy corners, eccentric finishing touches and curiosities make for quite the venerable experience. Only heightened by our splendid rear garden which promises to provide a welcome haven.
IN THE HEART OF THE VILLAGE OF SIDFORD
Part of the Sidford community since 1385, we are a favourite with the locals who come for home-cooked food or a quick post-work drink.
We’re perfectly placed for holidaymakers, with Double, Twin and King-sized rooms available, all with updated en-suite facilities.
We also have a universal access double room wet room on the ground floor.
GARDEN HAVEN
Plenty of sunny spots await with lots of seating for friends & family to get together. And for that secret spot - our handsome wooden gazebo is popular – but you’ll have to be quick!
